IIE duty of country bankers is to promote better agricultural
methods. In spito of the intluonco of tho "two blades of
grass" slogan the average yield of our two greatest cereal.'',
corn and wheat, 13 actually less than it was forty years ago,
and it is evident that SOMETHING IS WRONG
Circumstanees have produced A RACE OF SOIL ROBBERS,
not because of any inherent lack of moral purpose in tho tiller of tho
soil, but on account of the speculative element, which has been and
still is a curso to permanent agriculture. Tho rolling stono had gath
ered the most moss.
Our apparent agricultural prosperity is due to the rise of tho price
of land. Land speculators have grown rich. A few fanners have won
a competence from the soil, but most of them havo little profit to
show aside from that of tho advance in the values of their farms, while
the average farmer makes but a bare living. We have been capitaliz
ing our soil fertility and not adding to its assets.
