Frequently in times past when our country suffered from an economic de pression and consequent unemploy ment on a large scale, the rise ot some broad new industrial development, such for instance as a new industry like the automobile industry, has been a powerful factor In stimulating a re turn or an a c r e 1 growth of 11 a tional prosper:.y. : .n a niov .. in means the ere . i of n v e t!i, rue e: ipioymcnt c f la: • . ... ■ of p :e on useful I.' 3 c • j a censr , r.’ nce the pro.. . :.i n a il....r.:u!t u ot sound, e.V Ive t ri .1 - ::g ro-.i r, which 1s a form w c o comic stimulant t ; has no.:e < ,f t o ev.ls of raonet-ry I: '!-t :on.

The effects of such activities on employment and many lines of busi ness would be most beneficial and I can repeat without reservation that we bankers are willing and eager to p:ay our full economic part in any such con structive developments. It has been made to appear that money has not gone to work because of the timidity of bankers rather than what is a true explanation, because business men have not had enough con fldence in the business outlook to bor row the dollar from the banker and put it to work. The basic requisite to the expansion of commercial bank loans Is sound, normal business conditions on which to conduct sound, normal banking op erations. The besf business a bank can wish for Is the opportunity to loan money to successful business men and manufacturers imbued with confidence to enter upon aggressive business en terprises and endowed with the ability to bring them to successful conclu sions. Such loans mean business ac tivity for the community, growing pay rolls and prosperity, and the banker wants to make them because to he identified with such activities not only moans profits to him but, additionally, brings him the reward of good will In his community. There is no better proof of the great desire of banks to take care of the short term requirements of the busi ness world than to point out the abnor mally low rates at which this demand Is being supplied at the present time.

"Another point worthy of mention la that a depositor in a closed bank loses only a part of his deposit, while the bank stockholder loses all. plus a stock assessment.

Until recently, it was generally felt that it was difficult to control diseases of this type. Flock treatments, such as the use o f vapor W sprays, were usually Ineffective, and, though the treatment of indiv idual chickens might be successful, the benefits of the treatment were too often counteracted by the damp ness of the spray. Hence drastic culling measures aimed at protect ing healthy members of the flocks from the spread of infection were frequently recommended. Now. however, many are advocat ing a new method of combating n- p r.itory diseases, w hich was de veloped at the New York State In stitute of Applied Agriculture, Farmingdale, N. Y. "When chickens first develop the svmptoms of respiratory diseases,” say the scientists who developed the method, “dust the flock, when at roost, with chlorine powder con taining 15% of chlorine using an or dinary dust-gun. Enough of the powder should be dusted over the birds to start them sneezing freely. The houses should be closed tight for about two hours and then ven tilated as usual. "Thereafter, use lighter dustings daily, without closing the pens, until the birds are relieved, and there is no further discharge from the nostrils and eyes. Also spread or dust the chlorine powder—which Is known to poultrymen as HTH-15 —In the litter and on the drop ping boards. The powder Is inhaled by the birds and the liberated chlo rine assists In drying up the secre tions. It also helps to prevent the spread of the infection by destroy ing germs.” To prevent the infection of healthy birds, complete sanitation is recommended. This includes dustings of the flock and also of the litter and dropping born I- d the addition of chlorine pov ^i the drinking » ater. T h e T h irty -h o u r W e e k be possible, if not indeed essential in the light of the great productive capacity which this nation has de veloped. The attention which so- called technological unemployment had attracted even before the de pression gave rise to the thought that if we were to avoid permanent unemployment on a large scale it would be necessary to aborb displac ed labor by progresisvely shortening the hours of work. Tremendous em phasis was given to this aspect of the problem by the assertions of the "technocrats” that the country's productive capacity Is even now sup erabundant and that if given a chance it will soon render human la bor largely obsolete. ,\ IT OK CHEESE stews, or scalloped dishes.
