DAIRYING AND THE
FEDERAL RESERVE BANK

There is deep significance IN the
compliment paid 10 daiTylng IN the
May report Of the Seventh FEDERAL
.az=rve Bank 4 brief survey Of
he report fc.lows:
DePILe the re-zrClng effects of the
coal strike, the general business sit
latI0u Is improving. Production IN
the basic industries has increased
and impr0s ement is reflected IN man
ufacJurcFz' untitled orders, while IN
employment shows marked decrease.
The reduction 0f leans TO member
banks by the Federal Reserve Bank
in the agricultural sections reflects
the improved prices 10 the farmers
and indicates the economical basis on
which he Is working. Dairy products
show increased output and steady
prices.
While bank loans in the agTicul-
tgral sections have been considerably
reduced. owing TO increased prices Of
farm products and distribution Of
War Finance funds. bankers IN some
localities state they will need accom-
modation TO assist them in financing
the growth of this years crop. In
the sections where dairying is a large
factor, however, reports indicate that
the country banks will be able to
finance the farmer, since the steady
income from dairy products will pr9-
vide for current expenses
While there was slight decrease
in the total savings deposit and aver
age accounts in the district, two of
the states, Wisconsin and Michigan,
leaders in dairying showed an in
crease in the amount Of savings de-
posits- The country banks, particu-
larly, show an increase in savings de-
posts.
The above statements are not the
ories but facts as brought out by the
banks which are members of the
Seventh Federal Reserve District.
They prove anew the importance Of
the dairy farmer to the upholding
and stabilizing of community.
The monthly cream check takes
care Of current expenses. IL gives
the farmer an active bank account
which is reflected in local prosperity.
II is the official government reports,
such as this, from the Federal Re-
serve Bank that demonstrate the i'm
portanee and dependability OF dairy

him away to the emergency first

When he leaped from his mount

although he was minus several teeth

SEED TREATMENT PROPERLY
APLlED PREVENTS SMUT

Agricultural College News Notes
4 tnp Of more than three weeks
thru the-wheat section in the eastern
part of the state revealed the fact
that many wheat growers treat their
seed. III results were various. The
farmer obtaining good results from
treating seed was enthusiastic for
seed treatment, while the farmer who
found smut about as bad AS without
treatment, had not a good word for
the method. In the latter case the
method is not to be condemned but
the manner in which treatment was
made. Enough care is not taken in
the work.
There are different methods used
for treating seed, but in all possibility
the most common and convenient
method for the farmer is the sprink.
ling method with formadehyde. This
method is q simple one and requires
but little time. II is as follows:
l. Use clean floor, wagon bed or
canvass in the open.
2. Spread out n few bushels of
grain. Make the forrnalin solution.

bushel of grain. A garden sprinkler

pile and cover with wet sacks or can
vas for not less than six hours or
more than twelve hours.
5. Shovel the grain over and then
spread it out in n thin layer 10 dry.
6. Ii il is to be stored use clean
sacks or bins.
Care should be used in the work
and always store or put in treated
sacks. Many farmers 20 to the truu-
BILE Of treating their seed and then un-
do all their labors and also condemn
the method by not taking proper pre-
cautions TO store the seed in clean
sacks or bins. The formalin solution
must come in contact with the smut
pores and as soon as the grain is dry
II may again be covered with smut
pores by putting into smutty sacks,
hence the conditions will favor an
other smutted crop.

il could not be done as the settlers
there had taken up that land so long

dropping the matter The only way
TO get the driveway thru will be for
