The next year the Georgian fooled
the base ball dopesters by banging
the ball for mark of .3S9, and then
tied Wagner's string of seventeen
consecutive 300 marks with a record
in 1922 of .401, the third time in his
career he had reached the ultra select
class of hitters.
Another record which the Detroit
manager pried loose from the former
Pirate shortstop was that of making
the largest number of bits. Wagner
In his major league career accumu-
lated 3.430 safe drives, while Cobb's
1S8 made in the 1928 season gave him
a total of 3,454.
Anson's Record interrupted.
Besides Wagner and Cobb, the late
Gap" Anson is the only other player
who hit for 800 seventeen years or
more. Anson turned the trick twen-
ty times, but there was a break OF
two years after his string reached
fifteen. He then finished with five
consecutive years in the 300 class.
Cobb made more than 200 hits in
each OF eight seasons and three times
hit in the 400 class, his highest mark
his major league career he failed to
hit up to 800 was 1905, his first sea-
son. That year he was not regular
and in the games he played had to
be content with a batting average of
.240. Over the stretch of eighteen
years in the merican League his bat
ting average is .372
Cobb's string of eighteen consecu-
tive 800 marks is likely to remain a
record for many years Babe Ruth
and George Sisler. with strings of
seven 300 consecutive marks each,
have the best starts of any of the
present-day players on the Georgian's
record.
Speakers String Was Broken.
iris Speaker has been in the 800
class thirteen years, but his string
was broken in 1919. He has turned
the trick the last four seasons but
he must be in the game for the next
fourteen years hitting at a 300 clip
to equal Cobb's record. Eddie Collins,
after hitting in the 800 class for sew
en- years, dropped out in 1917 and
1918, and now his consecutive string
totals only FIVE.

MERCHANT CREDIT EXPENSIVE

Investigations indicate that farm
ers may be materially benefited by
demonstrating to them the losses
they incur through the use of mer
chant credit instead of bank credit
In conferences arranged by the Agri
cultural Commission, American Bank
ers Association, it has frequently de
veloped that farmers in MANY in.
stances are thoughtlessly carving
heavy burdens of mercantile credit.
The cost to farmers of merchant
credit often runs as high as so per
cent annually. The United States
Department of Agriculture has made
surveys of credit and Insurance con
ditions in North Carolina, in which
eight hundred farmers were inter
viewed, and which showed that 433
were relying on ~ erchant credit. The
average cost was 26.6 per cent. fig
ured annually. The average rate paid
by white farmers was 21.S per cent,
while that for the colored was 1922
per cent. This difference is attrfbut-
ed to the smaller average amount of
credit used by the colored farmers,
the greater risk involved in credit to
them and to an inclination to take
advantage of the less fortunate class

WHERE THE RAINBOW
TOUCHES THE GROUND

THE family cat died. The farmer
! who owned the cat, in digging
the grave discovered substance
which proved to be mari. This
farmer had been hauling limestone
a long distance for his alfalfa
fields. In conference with his
county agent, he discovered that
mari would take the place OF lime
in correcting the acidity of his soil.
This experience led him to the use
of mari that existed on his own
farm and saved him much time and
considerable expense in hauling.
Similar opportunities have ex-
listed and still exist. Many farmers
in the middle west will recall what
a pest sweet clover used to be.
Now this pest Is being used pront-
ably as hay and pasture for live
stock and as crop to be ploWed
under for increasing the fertility
Of the SOIL
Kansas is called. the "SundoWer
State" and those who have lived
there will we'll remember how they
have fought this weed. Today sun
flowers are being grown as a crop,
as feed for chickens and it is also
being utilized with or without corn
as a suitable crop for the silo.
It is surprising to discover how
many things which were froWned
upon in days gone by are now
serving a useful purpose. These
changes have been brought about
by observation and study. Brains
count on the farm as elsewhere.
The man who thinks while he is
performing physical work is not
only opening up the way for larger
profits but he is removing the word
drudgery from his vocabulary and
is transforming what used to be a
drudgery into profitable pleasure.

City Bankers and Country Conditions
Bankers, if anybody, are affected
more quickly and more directly than
other business men. A period Of agri-
cultural depression is Immediately no
ticeable in the balances that the coun-
try bank carries with it's city cor
respondent. City banks are beginning
to recognize this. Many of them are
taking an active interest in the Bank
er-Farmer movement
There are some fundamentals in
farming with which all business men
should be familiar. A bank would
not long succeed If it should continue
to use it's capital stock for running ex-
penses. Neither will the farm. Farm
ers have been living not upon the
interest from their investments but
upon their principal. Almost every
effort by American farmers has re-
suited in decreasing the fertility of
the soil. The banker who drives into
the country and observes this process
of mining the fertility from the land
should feel that to that extent the
Slapped.
Yet some Of our bankers are con-
tinuing to loan money to the one-crop
farmer. When such farmer comes
around for a loan the banker should
make the loan on the condition that
he keep at least one cow, one sow and
a couple of dozen hens. at least
enough livestock to feed his own fam
lily Agriculture is sick, production is

Less Time for Agitators
More diversified farming may mean
less automobile riding; it ought to.
Our economic problems cannot De
solved unless we are willing to work.
The one-crop farmer is not performing
his share of work He needs profit
able employment throughout the year
Loafing on the farm ought to be made
unpopular. Business men work
throughout the year. Why shouldn't
the farmer? If he did, there would
be less time to listen to the agitator.
The latter only increases discomfort,
makes men less capable and prolongs
the time of recovery. The farmer
must work his way out and not look
in vain for the Government to legis-
late high prices.
But if we get our farmers to work
ing full time will we not have
oyer-production? This over-production
cry blinds us to the real issue. There
may be times when certain crops, be-
cause of climatic or economic condl-
lions, are Improbable and yet there
are other crops that are profitable in
q well worked out system Of diversifi-
cation. In the livestock sections we
seldom hear of an over-prodution OF
alfalfa or clover. In all sections OF
the country we are importing either
food or feed that we ought to be rails
ing at home. Our cropping systems
need to be readjusted to meet present
needs We need to do just a little
more constructive thinking.
