J. Hnrter Asks Longer Hanking Hours Willite Draws Itemurks From Speakers. Mutual understanding must be the basis for successful cooperative rela tions between town and country. There Is no fundamental difference between the farmer and the city dweller. If the commercial organi zation of a city sincerely wishes to reach a common ground of under standing' with the farmer, the best way to do It is to find out the con structive program which the county farm bureau has mapped out, then offer to assist In making this pro gram a success. This was the advice given to tha Bend Commercial-club last night by Fj L. Ballard, state leader of county agents, when he spoke at the forum meeting of the organization at the gymnasium. Mr. Ballard declared that town and country are mutually dependent. Deschutes county, he said, Is favorably known throughout the state as a section where the towns are taking an active Interest in the country. Mr. Ballard also spoke briefly on the state marketing bill enacted at the 1921 session of the legislature. He pointed out that it legalizes a five year contract between growers and cooperative associations. "It is not Townleyism," he emphasized, "but it will keep Townleyism out. It will not hold up the people, but it will eliminate wastes of various kinds, Buch, for instance, as those incident to lack of standardization." Objects to Bank Hours. A. J. Harter, president of the Des chutes Valley Shorthorn association, asserted that a real service could be made to the farmers if the banks were to keep open on Saturday after noons, the time that is most conven-. lent for the farmers' marketing. "You have fine roads and camp grounds for the tourist, but wbat have you for the farmer?" ho asked. Mr. Harter suggested a real spirit of sociability between city business man and farmer, then went on to mention the tuberculin tests, for which a majority of dairymen and breeders of thoroughbred beef ani mals have petitioned. "A few farm ers don't want these tests," he said, "but if the people of Bend really want to help the cause of better farm ing, they will demand milk and but ter from tuberculin-tested herds." - Fred N. Wallace,- president of tha Deschutes County Farm bureau, spoke in favor of the reestabllshment of the city rest room, which had al ready been discussed by Mrs. V. A. Forbes and Mrs. 3. F. Arnold, and warned Bend merchants against propaganda which is being circulat ed to the effect that "Bend is always bound to be a high-priced - town." This, he said, Is the slogan of thoso who are trying to get trade away from Bend. One of the greatest services which could be made to the rural districts within a short distance of the city would be in extending light and pow er lines, he said. Iievorett Is SpeaJsor. R. A. Wurd pointed out th2 im portance of the farming industry when he quoted figures to show that $9,500,000 is invested In farm prop erty in this county. Altitude and climate make Deschutes county espe cially adapted to become the center of a Ereat pure-bred stock distrlcl, he asserted. R. S. Hamilton, spoaklng In the early part of the evening, rolnted out the need for a closer intorrst botween farm and town. C. J. Leverett, mom ber of the city council, wus called on and responded by reading a letter which he had written to a sister on the Rio Grande. He mentioned early debates which he held with a man who was later to become a United States Benator, excoriated the tend encies of the modern dance, extolled the quality of his wife's cooking, frankly voiced his belief that C. 8.
