The first important move in

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

MAYS in which bankers may discour-
W 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 county to be sold at auction to
local farmers. The county agricultur-
al agent informed the bankers that the
cattle would be q 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.
"a third way bankers can discourage
unsound practices is to refuse to fin
ance farmers who wish to pyramid their
enterprises, 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 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 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 1925 grain was the prin-
cipal farm production in the county.
The banker recognized the disadvant-
ages of this. It afforded 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 a 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 q market
for dairy products was assured the
farmers when in 1928 a 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, $780, worth Of tobacco and
fifty-nve 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"

LEGION CHIEFS URGE
REPAYMENT OF LOANS

William T. Knoll of Minneapolis,
secretary of the state Legion rehabili-
tation committee, voices the views of
Legion leaders generally, in urging
veterans to repay their adjusted SER
vice certificate loans.
Failure to repay means loss of IS &c
of the remaining unloaned portion OF
the certificate" Mr.. Knoll points out.
For instance, veteran borrows $500
on his $1,000 certificate, and fails to
pay either principal or interest. In
1945, instead of having $1,000, he won't
even have the unloaned $780, Of that
amount $425.97 will have been eaten
up in compound interest at Az 20.
All he will get will be $74.03.
Because they feel that many vet
Grams will be unable to repay their
loans and thus will eventually lose the
remaining one-half of their certifi-
Gates value, the Legionnaires of
Appleton, Minnesota and some other
Legion posts, have adopted resolutions
urging congress to pay the full face
value of the adjusted compensation
certificates, instead of 1915.
In the meantime, Legionnaire Earl
E. Howard, editor of the Wheaton
Gazette, aptly expresses the advice of
Legion leaders generally, viz: Hold
your certificates if you can, buddy.
Most needy veterans have borrowed
already, but others may be tempted to
borrow for luxuries. Hang on to your
certificate"
World war veterans are not squand-
ering the so per cent face value of
their adjusted service certificates which
congress recently authorized them to
borrow, according to Legion leaders the
nation over, whose signed statements
have been received at Indianapolis by
National Commander Ralph T. O'Nen.
summary of these statements from
North, South, East and West indicates
that the veterans are paying bills, buy
ing seed, pigs, sheep, food, clothing,
autos, homes, furniture and the neces-
sites of life. This was the testimony
of A. B. Kapplin of Duluth in report
ing for Minnesota.
THE majority of veterans" Mr..
Kapplins statement reads, TASK quick
payment of their loans so that they
may buy seed, make overdue payments
