Combined Efforts of Banker, Industrialist and

and business man and of the support
of the bank-using public at large.
Close observers of economic condi
| tions know that not an insignificant
proportion of the present era of pros
perity can be traced to the broader
industrial and business knowledge OF
bankers in Washington and in every
other center throughout the country
The banker is now conversant with a
dozen businesses and industries where
| before he was content with little more
than his own routine.
Such a changed attitude is bound
to find reflection in general economic
conditions. The personal touch, of
which so much is heard these days,
becomes a great practical gift when
it means expert and technical repartee
between banker and soliciting indus

AS might be supposed from the fore

ing a more and more important part
in the industrial development of
Washington and the Nation. and
there is no doubling that he will loom
as still more vital factor in the flu

Bank Clearings Climbing.
Washington is fortunate in having
a group of progressive and loyal bank
ers to back up its industry and it's
business endeavors.

one billion in 1925, and there is every
reason to believe that. with Washing

BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER.

The second annual Industrial ex
position of the Washington Chamber
OF Commerce, which will be held at
the Auditorium beginning March 4
does not represent the work of one
group alone, but reflects the combined
efforts of number of closely knit fac.
tors. Lacking cooperation among
them. qn exposition of the type to be
held and prosperity of any kind,
would be impossible.
The part played by the banking and
financial community in the erection OF
an industrial structure Is often over
looked. Admiration for the spectacle
lar achievements of industry. here
and elsewhere, tend to blind the pub
lie eye to an appreciation of the vital
~ important part taken by the men
in banking.
1t is rare. indeed, for an industry,
or unit within an industry, to climb
high without outside financial assist
ance. Ii is almost foregone conclu-
sion that business not needing such
help at one time or another is Of negli-
gible Importance. Industry and finance
depend upon each other, and it will
be observed that in Washington the
two work In close harmony, not only
for their mutual benefit, but to the
PhpiiN ditdSt Ms we'll.
Banks Must Aid Industry.
The banker must be able to see and
think with the industrialist. Unless
he can, unless it is possible for him
TO visualize the needs Of the future
and to keep a firm hand on the pres
ent as well-industry dies a lingering
death. And sometimes the demise is
not of the slow variety.

ing public. II is to the advantage of
the public from more than one angle,
then, that the banker and the indus
trialist cooperate properly and to the
fullest extent
Unless industry and business receive
their full measure of support from
the banking community. their eff
cheney is impaired and the public suf-
'ers in no small degree. On the other
hand. unless the banker is able to

safe and careful manner the public

What Exposition Means.
The three elements. the ba mixer, the
industrialist and the depositor, are,
therefore, all working in the same in

contributing to their own material
well being. Prosperity for the individ-
ual in all walks means prosperity for
the community as a whole.

With due precautions and proper
equipment, nearly all construction

owner may often profit by saving in

Although equipment needed for pro-

construction requires some expendi-

in overhead on the job due to delays
from winter storms, these items may
often be offset by the saving. in sal

and last of series inaugurated un-
der the direction of the late Henry
G. Wallace, is now being distributed.

the subjects of live stock, grains,
dairy products, tobacco, forestry, for

and land tenure, highways, credit. tax

Agriculture Harassed.
SIN the FIVE years covered by the
series Of yearbooks now concluded"
said Secretary Jardine in announcing
the 1925 volume, american agricul-
ture has been harassed as never be-
fore. Farmers have been handi-
capped by disparities between the
prices Of things they have had to sell
and the things they have had to buy.
They have been faced with urgent
crop reimbursement problems and with
a decrease occasioned by overstocked
and demoralized markets. The eco
nomic studies contained in this series
of yearbooks were expressly intended
to assist farmers in coping with such
problems and difficulties. There is
reason to believe that they have ac-
complished this subject. Although the
present volume deals with branch of
agriculture that has been less affected
than some other branches by the post
war depression, the fruit and vege-
table industry is not without present
economic problems. hope this year.

problems effectively"
The articles on fruits and vegetables
In this volume include historical ma
terial relating to fruit and vegetable
growing in this country.
Questions Answered.
The value of the 1925 book is not
limited to the fruit and vegetable in
terests. In 772 pages of statistics may
be found the answers to numerous
questions arising in the minds of va
rious agricultural interests.
The agricultural yearbook is pub

appropriation. The distribution of
the 100000 copies published will be
made largely by congressman and SEN

400 copies. The 10000 copies pur-

Figures on Future

estimates of the possible population

increased in ratio of o. r. Bakers es-
innate of possible increase in the Unit

Assuming that the present standard
Of living is retained, together with the
present national prejudices and ego

whether the population will ever reach
the 5,000,000,000 limit. If man better
co-ordinates his effort so as to involve
less expense in nonproductive effort,
then possibly the advance of scienca
may enable the 7O00,000,O00 limit to

Rye for Early Pasture
Should Be Sown in Fall

II early spring pasture is wanted
for hogs, sow rye this fall, says the
Indiana Farmers Guide. Some vetch
can be used with it to advantage. If
sown as soon as the land can be pre-
pared after the wheat, oats or corn
are out of the way, 1t will come on
early next spring. A bushel and half
of seed is enough for early sowing,
but 2 bushels per acre should be used
later. If vetch is used with rye, from
30 to 40 pounds Of rye and Is to 20
pounds Of vetch are about the right
amounts.
Small fields of such crops furnish a
great deal of pasture at little expense
and leave the soil in better condition
than If they had not been grown. The
vetch Is legume which adds nitrogen
and the fine roots of the rye protect
the soil against washing which is more
serious between growing seasons than
most people realize. Next spring the
rye can be turned under as a green
manuring crop before corn planting
time. ~ ....
