scribed by President F. D. 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.

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.”

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. Dehy
drated vegetables offer variety as
