Farrell of the Kansas State Agricultural College In the American Hankers Association Journal. He says: "In Kansas in connection with the Importation of dairy cattlo, a large shipment of very Inferior animals came Into a county to be sold at auction to local farmers. Thp county agricultur al agent informed the bankers that the cattle would be a detriment to the community. The banhoro refused to finance the purchase of the cattle aud the salo was abandoned. The cattle were shipped to another county. The county agent and the bankers there did as wa3 done in the first instance and the second county escaped. “A year ago creamery promoters be gan trying to capitalize the Kansas farmers' desire to improve his markets by inducing communities of farmers to purchase creamery plants before production and loca.l conditions Justi fied tbem. Informed of thh by the State Agricultural College, the bank ers arsoclation sent warnings to every bank in the state, leading many to re fuse to support the creamery promot ers until the college approved the plant for the community concerned. This saved many communities loss from the premature establishment of plants. "A third way bankers can discourage unsound practices is to refuse to fin ance farmers who wish to pyramid their enterprises, a temptation difficult to re sist. This is illustrated among farm ers who buy cattle for feeding pur poses. A farmer feeds two or three cars of cattle one year and makes a good profit. This induces him to buy twice or threo times as many the sec ond year, still more the third and so on until he finally lose3 more by having too many cattle on feed In a year of bad prices thju he mado in several previous years with smaller numbers and better prices. When bankers dis courage bad practices their action Is a positivo benefit to the farmers con cerned.” HINTS ON CAMPINO FOOD AND EQUIPMENT OFFERED Another Oregon spring hag sent out its "call to the wild” and people everywhere are responding to the urge to get out and "rough It.” for awhile. For some thia means merely an oc- cagionai afternoon picnic in the woods, while others prefer o more extended camping trip. The former can take ae much equipment as they tan pack in the car and etill have room for the children, but the latter group will do well to keep in mind (he slogan of the true woodsmen, "Travel light but travel right.” A few suggestions as to how this maxim can be followed In the matter well as food value. Cloth bags are much better than cans or boxes for packing groceries, Mies Moore says. They are loss bul ky on the return trip, and It dipped in paraffin, will keep sandwiches and other foods fresh. A very thin coat ing of paraffin is applied so that it will not crack. These bags can be rolled up and used agalo. As personal equipment, each per son needs a canteen, a water proof ■natch box, a compass, a first aid kit and a combination mess kit. says Miss Moore. It is always a good Idea to make a list of all supplies and equipment needed and check off the items as they are packed. Herald Want Ads Pay DALLAS — A demonstration trial In dusting with lead arsenate fur the control of symeta beetle on the R. W. Hogg & Son cherry orchard near Eola, and another using lead arse nate spray and pyrethrum spray in the Max Gehlar cherry orchard ad joining were started recently by County Agent J. R. Beck. A careful check will be made prior to picking time to determine the extent of con trol given by each method. EUGENE — Twenty-five varieties of oats and 26 varieties of wheat are being tested out this year In the rust resistant cereal nursery being conducted for the third year by War ner C. White of Cushman, in coop eration with O. 8. Fletcher, county agent, and the Oregon Experiment station. SSI À SPECIAL ra i Subscription Offer WHAT A KEY BANKER DID FOR HIS COUNTY $1.00 Tha farmers cf one county In Ten nessee are receiving 5400,000 addi tional annual Income from new farm enterprises started since 1926 through the efforts of a “hey banker" and the county agent, according to estimates .‘com the Tennessee College of Agrl- cilture. A "key bnnker” la a part of the c.ate bankers’ association voluntary field force cooperating with the Ameri can Bankers Association la its nation wide plan for bringing about better agricultural conditions through com bined banker-farmer effort. New pro jects started In this particular county are tobacco, Irish potato and cabbage production for cash crops, and dairy ing and poultry raising for livestock. The key banker, looking for some thing to do to better hb community, first attempted to procure a county agent but was unable to get the county to make the necessary appropriation, so ho and other leading citizens made up the requisite funds through private subscription among farmers and busi ness men and an agent was employed. Up until 1926 grain was the prin cipal farm production In the county. The banker recognized the disadvant ages of this. It afforded a low cash Income, and the Ipnd was too hilly aud rough for profitable grain raising. His Idea was to Introduce cash crops that ofTered more return per acre and were better fitted to tho county. It was de cided that the county should stand ardize on the Green Mountain potato nnd to market it In carload lots. Through his bank he sponsored the buying of a car of certified seed potatoes. He likewise bought some high qunllty tobacco seed and several hundred settings of purebred eggs. These supplies were distributed at cost through the banks to the farmers. After considerable effort a market for dairy products was assured the farmers when in 1928 a national cheese company located a factory there. A county appropriation was secured for county agent work in 1928. In 1929 the cash crop program re sulted in farmers selling 845,000 worth of milk, 8150.000 worth of tobacco and fifty-five carloads of potatoes and cab- aage, mostly through cooperative sales. "This was somo step from the 825.000 worth of cash crops In 1926,” the county agent says, "and Indications xre that this amount will be doubled.” For One Year GOOD FOR NEW OR RENEWALS ra l Now is the time to get that new subscription to the Hermiston Herald or have that old subscription renewed for one year.

Banks Favor Diversification Emphasis was placed on the strategic position the banker holds through the use of directed credit at a recent meet ing of the Alabama bankers’ agricultu ral committee. Alabama Is confronted with the problem of over-production of cotton. The committee recommended to hanke that credit be extended on the baele of a twenty-five per cent re duction In cotton acreage- The value of growing other crops than cotton was strongly stressed and county out look meetings are being planned with tho thought of bringing about • more balanced agricultural program in the various communities. of food and cooking equipment are offered by Miss W illetta Moore, who has taught courses in camp cookery for men at Oregon State college for a number of years. It is best, she says, to select foods that are high in nutritional value, small in bulk and light In weight. Energy producing toods are essential because of* the great amount of energy expended on such trips. For that reason, sugar is better than saccharine as a sweet ening agent in spite of its greater bulk because of its high energy value. Il is well to avoid canned foods as much as possible, with the exception of tomatoes, which have a place in the camp supplies because of their vitamin and mineral content.
