BANKERS SAY VALLEY is
ON ROAD TO PROSPERITY

According to local bankers finan-
cial conditions are much better than
three or four months ago. In fact,
the end Of hard times is almost In
sight.
One Of the best Indications OF this
10 the the small demand for loans
A. compared with = short time az.
At that time. the demand for money
was very heavy. But since the first
Of the year. the demand has been
falling off.
One Of the bankers says that the
deposits are increasing. Not only
are loans being paid. but people are
beginning to build up their bank &C.
count.
The price OF hogs. sheep and cat
tie has been very good this winter.
Although potatoes have sold next to
nothing. the recent Increase in price
has been big help to many.
II believe that most Of the farm
ers have learned their lesson" said
one OF the bankers. "It Is doubt
full II another depression similar to
this one will ever hit the valley as
the indications are that farmers in
tend to start diversified farming and
II they stick to 1t. although there
may be some years In which they
may not have as much money a. they
did with spuds bringing war time
prices. they will never be hard up.'
In the fall when the price OF
spuds fell to the bottom. many fail.
ures were predicted. There were
some. but the percentage was no,
nearly 40 large ~ expected. Many
Of the farmers who narrowly avert.
ed bankruptcy are now among the
strongest advocates Of more diversi.
fled farming.
Nearly all the public sales held
this winter have brought good
prices. Especially 10 this noticeable
In the cash sales. Many people
even among the more prominent
financiers regard public sales as
reliable barometer OF prosperity.
