BUSINESS PITFALLS
in FARM DISTRICTS
Bankers Point Out Hazards of
Unsound Practices and Help
Farmers to Avoid Them.

WAYS in which bankers may discour'
z" age unsound farm practices are de-
scribed by President f. d. Farrell Of
the Kansas State Agricultural College
In the American Bankers Association
Journal. He says:
'In Kansas in connection with the
importation of dairy cattle, large
shipment of very inferior animals came
into a county to be sold at auction to
local farmers. The county agricultur-
al agent informed the bankers that the
cattle would be a detriment to the
community. The bankers refused to
finance the purchase of the cattle and
the sale was abandoned. The cattle
were shipped to another county. The
county agent and the bankers there
did as was done in the first instance
and the second county escaped.
"a year ago creamery promoters be-
gan trying to capitalize the Kansas
farmers desire to improve his markets
by inducing communities of farmers
to purchase creamery plants before
production and local conditions justi-
fed them. Informed of this by the
State Agricultural College, the bank
ers association sent warnings to every
bank in the state, leading many to re-
fuse to support the creamery promot-
ers until the college approved the plant
for the community concerned. This
saved many communities loss from the
premature establishment of plants.
ga third way bankers can discourage
unsound practices is to refuse to fin
ance farmers who wish to pyramid their
enterprises, a temptation difficult to re-
sist. This is illustrated among farm
ers who buy cattle for feeding pur-
poses. A farmer feeds two or three
cars of cattle one year and makes
good profit. This induces him to buy
twice or three times as many the Sec
ond year, still more the third and so
on until he finally loses more by having
too many cattle on feed in year Of
bad prices than he made in several
previous years with smaller numbers
and better prices. When bankers dis
courage bad practices their action is
positive benefit to the farmers con-
cerned."

WHAT A KEY BANKER
DID FOR HIS COUNTY

The farmers of one county in Ten
nessee are receiving 100000 addi-
tional annual income from new farm
enterprises started since 1926 through
the efforts of ''key banker" and the
county agent, according to estimates
from the Tennessee College of Agri-
culture. A "key banker" is part Of the
state bankers association voluntary
field force cooperating with the Ameri-
can Bankers Association in its nation
wide plan for bringing about better
agricultural conditions through COM
bined banker-farmer effort. New pro-
jects started in this particular county
are tobacco, Irish potato and cabbage
production for cash crops, and dairy
ing and poultry raising for livestock.
The key banker, looking for some
thing to do to better his community,
first attempted to procure a county
agent but was unable to get the county
to make the necessary appropriation,
so he and other leading citizens made
up the requisite funds through private
subscription among farmers and bust
ness men and an agent was employed.
Up until 1926 grain was the prin-
cipal farm production in the county.
The banker recognized the disadvant-
ages Of this. It afforded a low cash
income, and the land was too hilly and
rough for profitable grain raising. His
idea was to introduce cash crops that
offered more return per acre and were
better fitted to the county. 1t was de-
cided that the county should stand
ardize on the Green Mountain potato
and to market it In carload lots.
Through his bank he sponsored the
buying of car Of certified seed
potatoes. He likewise bought some
high quality tobacco seed and several
hundred settings of purebred eggs.
These supplies were distributed at cost
through the banks to the farmers.
After considerable effort a market
for dairy products was assured the
farmers when in 1928 national cheese
company located factory there. A
county appropriation was secured for
county agent work in 1928.
In 1929 the cash crop program re-
suited in farmers selling $4,000 worth
Of milk, $15O,000 worth of tobacco and
ffty-fve carloads of potatoes and cab
bage, mostly through cooperative sales.
"This was some step from the $4,000
worth of cash crops in 1926" the
county agent says, "and indications
are that this amount will be doubled"

"A square deal for Baby"

"A square deal for Baby"
It ought to be the hot weather
slogan in every Minnesota household
where there is baby, child experts of
the Minnesota State Medical Associ-
alton declared today.
In many otherwise sensible, well in
formed households, the grownups are
allowed to leap out of their clothes as
the mercury scars and then seek their
sweaters, if need be, when the mer-
curry goes down again. But not poor
Baby!
Baby is forced to wear his shirt and
slip, no matter what dizzy tricks the
temperatures play, for fear of chilling.
And yet, as the doctor can demon
strate, Baby is even hotter when it is
hot than the lucky adult. There is a
disproportionate relation between his
own private heating plant and his sur
face radiation.
Keeping Baby always a little too
hot is just Superstitious fetish" the
association experts say. "Its a sort of
heather rite with some mothers by
which they hope to ward off all SORTS
of mysterious unnamed dangers. The
result is merely that they predispose
unnamed dangers. The result is
merely that they predispose Baby to
sickness. Prickly heat is the result of
overheating and resultant sweatings.
If it appears, summer instead of a
blessing, becomes baby's night
mare"
That's why Minnesota doctors are
starting out early this year to urge a
square deal for the young un. He
should have the same right to be COM

Banks FAVOR Diuersifcation

Emphasis was placed on the strategic
position the banker holds through the
use of directed credit at a recent meet
ing of the Alabama bankers agricultu-
raj committee. Alabama is confronted
with the problem of over-production of
cotton. The committee recommended
to banks that credit be extended on
the basis of twenty-five per cent re.
duction in cotton acreage. The value
of growing other crops than cotton
was strongly stressed and county out
look meetings are being planned with
the thought of bringing about a more
balanced agricultural program in the
various communities.

HOW TO KEEP WELL

Portable as the older members of the
family, they declare. Anxious mothers
have the doctors word for it that
nothing untoward will happen if they
strip the baby to the skin In hot
weather. Let him lie bare, except for
his diaper on a cool sheet in hot
weather, they say. That should be
his daily hot weather costume. Even
the very new baby is the better for it.
No harm will come to him even if it
should turn cool tonight or tomorrow
or next week. A dress or wrap can
easily be added. A comfortable baby
has the best chance of being a well,
happy baby, these doctors assert.
Baby's good time this summer de-
ponds upon the intelligence and fair
play of his elders.
The most meticulous care in the
choice and preparation of his food is,
of course, another summer necessity
and one which most mothers already
recognize. 1t was mostly the unclean,
unboiled food that caused the sum-
mer complaints" that were the terrorS
of an early generation.
If he is really getting square deal,
Baby will also be allowed to acquire a
fine coat of tan, say the doctors.
Plenty of sunshine now is going to
protect him against ricketts, and make
MIN more resistent to colds next Win
ter. BY carefully graduated doses he
can tolerate an hours sun bath every
day. He should have sponge baths
when it is very hot. A diaper is
ample clothing for baby on a hot
day. Prickly heat indicates that baby
has been kept too warm.

"Careen" was originally a purely

When vessel was careened 1t was

The verb is also used intransitively
and could be employed to such a
vehicle as a truck that turned over
