KenIy, president of the road, said earnings in the last five months of the year should equal or probably be bet ter than the same period of 1923.

"Biue Stockings"

Even today one hears of persons des-
ignated as blue stockings" In olden
times the term meant women who sac
rf6ced their characteristic excellence
to Learning. or what they thought was
learning. A hundred years ago the
women Of England had evening assem-
blies where the fair sex might partici-
pate in conversation with famous liter
airy men. One Of the most eminent was
Doctor Stelllngfielt. who habitually
wore blue stockings. Such was the ex
cellence OF his conversation that his
occasional absence was felt as a great
loss, and the ladies said: I'VE can do
nothing without the blue stockings"
Thus came the phrase. and by degrees
Its title was established.

BANK ADOPTS new
POLICY AS TO LOANS
WILL NOT EXTEND CREDIT
TO FARMERS WHO DO NOT
GROW AMPLE FOOD.

The Bank OF Parrot, of which Mr..
S. J. Carter is president, makes an
important announcement in this issue
of The News as to the future policy
of that institution, policy that will
revolutionize farming operations in
this section if it is adhered to by 9TH
er banks.
1t is that no loans will be made to
farmers who do not grow their own
supplies and feedstuffs
1T is fortunate that we can talk
plainly now about the matter we have
in mind, and in so doing work no
hardships on any one, says Mr. Car
ter, who then adds: 1--WE expect to ex-
tend credit to those farmers who are
careful to grow ample food crops to
meet the needs of their farms. We
know it is unsafe, with the boil weevil
here, to buy on credit those products
that can be grown on the farm and
hope to pay for them out OF cotton
crop"
The bank, in making known this
policy a year in advance, says it is
debating to no one, but is pursuing
a policy it knows to be right I'VE
would not be doing our duty as a
bank" it declares :" if we failed to Wig
orous1y stand for a sound farming
program, one that bankers and farm
ers alike throughout the south say IS
the only safe one" In giving emphatic
support to this wise program OF farm
ing under boil weevil conditions the
Parrott bank says it will at all times
do its full part if conditions are such
that there is a failure of food and feed
crops when proper effort has been
made. to produce them.
In the past two years, due to large
cotton acreages, the failure OF the corn
crop in 1928 and the killing OF the oat
crop by the freezes of the past winter
the farmers of this section have had
to buy more feed stuff and supplies
than in many years before.
The policy that has been adopted by
the PARROT bank will no doubt be tol-
lowed by many other banks another
wear.
