Agriculture Workers
Meet With Bankers
BY p. B. CHILDREss

Tie annual Farm Credit Confer
ence held at Natural Bridge the
first week in March each year is
the result Of cooperative effort be-
tween the Virginia Bankers Associa-
ton. the Federal Reserve System
and the State Agriculture College at
VPI.
1t IS an occasion when both the
agricultural bankers of the State
and the professional agriculture
workers can present and exchange
successes and problems beneficial to
better service to farm people.
1t is a time when both the banker
and agriculture worker can be
brought up to date with the latest
information in both fields.
This particular conference had
several highlights. Miss Mildre
Crawford, Of Albemarle county, and
Jack Good, Of Roanoke county. III

tcrd's address was. II / know you

A slip Of the foot can cost a farm
family more than a slip in the price
Of agricultural commodities, accord
ing to the National Safety Council
The council points out that falls
are the leading scource Of all in
iuries to residents of rural America
and that they account for Is per
cent Of all injuries to farm people
Injuries from all mishaps, includ-
ing falls, are expensive. A study in
Iowa shows that the medical costs
associated with $3.50 in juri S
amounted to s216.40l, an average of
SOS per case. Furthermore, o S
time averaged 10 days per injury
Piled on top OF the medical cost is
the expense of hired labor which is
sometimes necessary if the accident
occurs at a critical work period or
the farm.
Falls XIII about 1000 farm resi-
dents annually and no one can es
innate the cost of life

confo3ences I have noticed that
communities which have bankers at
tending these conferences are head
and shoulders above communities
which are afflicted with unprogres-
sive and uniformed bankers
Tito explanation Of this is due to
farmers being amply and intelli-
gently financed The banker under
stands farmers problems He also
personally knows not only the
far1ler. but his family
Another reason I say we" is that
tile banker usually takes several
professional workers with him to the
conference. While a guest Of our
bank at the conference, we receive
a mass Of technical information
hear much about solving farm man
aeement problems and get up to
date on aa iculuual trends We find
out how we can and should work
more closely together. On coming
home we do.
This conference. alone with bank
sp r.sorcd contests. has c~eared a
pooling Of efforts and created under
standing and cooperation Of all
aee1c es to do much better j9b.

The theme of Jack Goods talk
was What capitalism does for peo-
pie as compared to what Commun-
ism does to people F" III was based
on his observations made While in
East and West Germany
Another highlght was the banquet
address by Dr.. Lowell S Hardin,
acting head Of the department Of
agricultural economies, Pur d Z e
University, Ind
His address was based Oh the
possible effects Of the soil bank on
agricultural production He was an
influential speaker with a head full
Of basic facts.
The conference closed with a
panel of three Hungarian refugees,
a minister and an interpreter to
answer questions from the audi
ence.

A rec"rd high general average
was paid for the 1856 crop of Viz
gina fire-cured tobacco, according
to the Virginia Department Of Argi-
cnlt're.
Main reason for this was the much
better quality offerings compared
with the sto~m-damaged 1855 crop
Also, the number Of increases in
average prices by grades was about
double the decreas es. which helped
to push the overall average upward
Volume Of sales was slightly above
that of last season.
Cross sales Of l0,94527 pounds
includes resalesl for the season re-
turned 500 AZ per hundred This
AVERAGE was a sharp gain Of $500
over that for the prior season and
compares with the previous record
# 500 10 set for the 1851 crop The
2rcss value Of 4.3 million dollars
wos the largest since 1852 Around
l47. 900 more pounds were S0ld imam
during last season
Crop Graded Well
The proportions of fair to better
qualities sold increased sharply over
last season Only about one-half as
much low quality and one-fifth the
quantity Of nondescript were offered
as during the previous year More
heavy and thin leaf and less Tugs
were graded Principal marketings
were fair to fine heavy leaf and
low and fair qualities Of both thin
leaf and Tugs.
Gains in average prices over the
previous marketing year occurred
for most fair and low qualities Of
