THE MORXIJfG OREGOXIAN, -MONDAY, MARC1T 1920 17 1 OP STATE IfJ WORK FARMERS Results Are Seen in Agricul tural Campaign. STOCK CLUBS CONDUCTED Oommittee Gets Reports From Questionnaire Telling How En couragement Was Beneficial. The Oregon Bankers' association, through the inauguration of a cam paign encouraging agricultural devel opment, has taken an advanced posi tion which is showing results in a greater production of livestock, dairy ing and crops of the state. The banker ts more closely in touch with the business side of farm manage ment than any other class of busi nessmen. His touch with the farmer is intimate, because it is to the banker that the progressive agriculturist comes with his problems of how to finance some projected expansion of his industrial plant. The beginning of the general in terest of the association was in the realization by individual bankers that the farmer is in fact the manager and owner of an industrial plant of the greatest important to his community and the public. There was slow rec ognition of this fact because so many farmers did not grasp the importance of farm management and rarely knew their own status. Then came the con ditions of the war that emphasized to everyone the necessity of food pro duction, that wheat, barley, oats, corn and alfalfa are essentials and that the meat supply of the country was inadequate to demands of a hungry world. Incidentally, the income tax law compelled farmers to recognize the importance of "keeping accounts" something many of them had re garded as the exclusive duty of the banker and merchant. Today the farmer in Oregon is recognized as en titled to the same consideration as other business men who come to the cashier with their problems. Active Campaign Start. A live agricultural committee of the Oregon Bankers' association has started an active campaign to get every bank in the stafte actively in the work. C. D. Korer, A. K. Tarker and R. A. Blanchard are the members of the committee.- It is their pur pose to have each bank promoting one or more projects, such as bring ing In pure-bred stock, conducting pig. calf and sheep clubs or stimu lating interest among formers of its locality in higher crop yields or bet ter forage. In order to get at a working basis a questionnaire was sent to 300 banks In Oregon, and so far 89 replies have been received. The questionnaire asked what work had been conducted previously and if the banks were will ing to promote some phase of devel opment' and accept the committee's assistance. The results show that the Oregon bankers are to the fore in this progressive development in financing. Out of the replies re ceived only five banks refused to accept assistance and 20 banks had never done any work before, but were willing to start. The remaining banks revealed the following information: Stock Clubs Conducted. A total of 28 banks conducted a pig club, four promoted a sheep club, five banks were instrumental in con ducting calf clubs, six banks were aotive in improving dairy cows in their section. In the matter of corn shows 14 banks held corn shows in the lobby, while six banks distrib uted seed corn among their patrons three banks distributed alfalfa and clover seed. Since western Oregon is a dairy section, 19 banks are active In promoting better dairy herds and especial attention to cow testing, in the eastern part of the state, six banks brought in pure-bred sires for distribution to their customers, and three banks promoted poultry clubs. In order to stimulate pride and dis tinction, the committee has made up a roll of honor banks, placing a star after the bank's name for each type of agricultural activity which the bank has financed or fostered. Many of these banks have as high as five or six stars after their name. Those banks which have indicated a will ingness and desire to finance or pro mate one or more club projects dur ing the year 1920, are placed on the agricultural committee's roll of honor pledges with a star opposite their name. They hope to have a good re port to make at the annnal conven tion of the Oregon Bankers' associa tion in June. College Gives Aid. The committee is working in co operation with the Oregon Agricul tural college, and is prepared to give definite assistance and distribute in formation to the banks- which will conduct some work. The committee expects to spend its major attention n the banks which have not already promoted this agricultural develop ment, and it is hoped to make Oregon a more profitable state agriculturally and a safer state financially. k u .... tnvaiAri Thev are f the obligations of a hydro-electric power company serving some of the largest communities and manufactur ing concerns 'in Michigan, and are selling on a basis to net 7.28 per cent to 7.75 per cent.
