FARMERS WHO GO into PARTNERSHIP WITH
THEIR WIVES MAKE MOST MONEYIN THE end
COWS AND HENS

A banker is a pretty good fellow
from whom to get first hand infor-
nation relative to the financial
standing OF his patrons. o. II. Kel-
Ter, of the First National Bank of
"lnamac, Indiana, whose dealings
Tor the past twenty years have been
almost entirely with farmers, tells
an interesting story in recent issue
of The Dairy Farmer.
The reason why Pulaski county
did not suffer during this after-war
period like other Counties, Saw
Keller, is because her farmers were
paying attention to weil-rounded
system which included poultry and
cows. They have had steady in
come altho in war time it did nor
amount to the dizzy heights that
We're obtained in some of the grain
farming countries. From the num-
Der of cream, milk, poultry and egg
checks that mill thru this bank and
from information from other bank
ers, l estimate that this county's
income from the sale of livestock
and hog products is a million dol
lars year while the farm income
from dairy and poultry products |.
about three-quarters of million
per year"
Mr.. Keller says that bank deposits
nave made steady increase in
Pulaski county since March, 1918.
statement that cannot be made or
many grain farming counties. In
March, 1918. the total deposits in
the banks OF the county were
$l.s47.00O: in March. 1919, they
had gone up to &2.332.OOO. while
the March. 1920, figure is ;..sia.
600. In March. 81. they wer>
S2.356.0OO. and in March, 1922.
they amounted to s2.3ls.OOO. The
figures as OF December 20. 1929
show total bank deposits for the
county OF S2,35s.OOO. These figures
are conclusive evidence that farm
ers who put their food thru live
stock are the ones who have a steady
income altho they may not make q
great killing at any one time.
Records show that Pulaski county
farmers feed up eighty per cen, OF
the grains and roughages grown on
the farms.
Il do not claim TO know much
about farming, Keller continued,
but | have noticed during my
twenty years OF experience that those
farmers who really 70 into partner
ship with their wives are the ones
who make III. most money In tho
long run. Not much poultry and
egg money comes across our count
cr from farms where the hens arc
huddlcd together In stuffy lit,la
coops, where the chicks are reared
under hens and the wife is stopping
about the lots In boots after each
rain. Good hen houses, and good
equipment In the home seem To b..
necessary to really substantial
partnership between the farmer
and his wife,
