REVIEW BOARD MAY MTET Ceorge Bouse county assessor appeared before the state board of lax commissioners at Indianapolis Tuesday- relative to assessment of ‘Nobls county ‘as fixed by the board of reviewy The state board made no special rec, ommendations, according to Mri Bouse. :

" However it is likely the board of review will be called into special sesgsion in the near future and some changes may be made.

The increase of twenty percent on household goods and ten perecnt on all merchandise in Kendallville over the original figures of the assessors caused a considerable protest among taxpayers. It was pointed out by Assessor Bouse the change was madé to effect an equalization of assess; ments over the county. .

BANKER-FARMER MOVERSENT GROWS Funds Supplied bj Banking Organizations in Many States to Finance Studies and Cc=*csts.

The nationwide movement being cenducted by county and state bank-1 ers’ ‘associations and the American Bankers Association in co-operation with the state agricultural collexesfi and county agents for the purpose of, sringing about both local and national solutions for farm economic problems has shown notable results during the past year. A review of these activities in the Bulletin of the Agricultural Commission, American Bankers Assoslation, summarizes some of the chief points as follows: In Missouri a meeting was held at the College of Agriculture at which the bankers again appropriated $1,600 for boys’ and girls’ club work Saline county bankers have raized $5OO to stimulate beef calf clubs and report definite results obtained in getting tarmers to lime their soil and grow alfalfa. County “key bankers” to promote banker support of farm betterment projects are being appointed and another Short Course im Agriculture tor bankers is being planned.

In Kansas no less than fifteen countles are reported by the Extension Bervice as engaged in definite bankertarmer work. County key bankers attended four district conferences dur(ng the year. The lL.ouisiana bankers’ agricultural sommittee met at the College of Agrisulture in connection with a bankers’ tarm course. The bankers are thorsughly aroused to the wisdom of tick sradication and are co-operating to that end. County key bankers are being selected and county meetings with bankers throughout the state will be arranged. . Results Shown

In Kentucky key bankers have been appointed in each county with the result that the bankers of the state are co-operating with the College of Agriculture more specifically than any other group of business men. Some of the fruits of this co-operation is demonstrated by the fact that the number of dairy cattle in the state has increased seven per cent and the production per cow twelve per cent. Three counties in the state have elimfnated all serub bulls,

In North Carolina the oustanding accomplishments have been the honoring of “Class A Farmers,” that is, those attaining a degree of proficiency im a well balanced and sound system of farming as indicated by a score card prepared by the College of Agriculture and the Bankers Shart Course given there. Future plans provide for the continuation of the county key banker system and the arrangement of county banker-farmer tours. In Virginia $15,000 has been raised by subscription for boys’ and girls’ club work, largely from bankers. A group meeting was held at the College of Agriculture with two hundred bankers in attendance. The Committee on Agriculture of the State Bankers Association voted to continue and check up on the county key banker work. The reports from New York on the activities for the past year included the distribution of 20,000 short form farm credit statements prepared cooperatively by the agricultural college and bankers. The bankers’ agricultural committee also arranged to send suggestions to the banks of the staté to aid in financing purchase of dairy cattle to replace those lost by the tuberculin test.

Bankers' Farm Schools Bankers® Farm Schools or “Short Courses’” continued popular during the year. Several colleges held such courses under the auspices of the state bankers’ agricultural committees and are repeating them this year. “Minimum of Talk—Maximum of Demonstration” was the character of program put on by the Kansas Agricultural College for the second Bankors’ Farm School in April. Four representatives were invited from each of twenty counties, consisting of the county key banker, the county agent, the secretary of the county bankers

On When Women Come Into Money. As Aunt Emmy sipped her tea she heard the conversation drift to the Slade sisters. The fact that they had inherited a large fortune and would have to adminlster it themselves ocreated considerable comment. “My husband says old man Slade made a big mistake not putting it in trust for them,” said Mrs. Burt. ‘“He Bays women never should handle large sums of money because they are ‘financially uneducated’—he really means Cdmb.l ”» . “All' women aren’t dumb about money matters, are they, Aunt Emmy?” exclaimed Miss Pringle. “Of course not,” Aunt Emmy agreed. ‘“There are all sorts and kinds of women all the way from very prudent to very foolish.” ! “Well, anyway, an awful lot of women have been victimized in fipancial things—just look at all the widows that have been robbed,” insisted Mrs. Burt, “There won't be so much of that fa the future as in the past,” Aunt Emmy said. “Women have been easy to xictimize hecanse. they knew so lit-

association, and the president of the farm bureau Proper farm methods were brought out by demonstrations, then tours were made to farms whose owners had followed the practices and methods outlined by the college to illustrate the lessons. Emphasis was placed on the important part bankers can play in developing agriculture. In South Dakota specific plans for the ensuing year are the appointment of county key bankers, co-operation in boys’ and girls’ club projects and group meetings of county agents and key bankers. In Minnesota the county key bankers system is to be continued with special emphasis on bringing the county agent and key banker into closer co-operation. :

At a banker meeting at the North Dakota Agricultural College it was decided that the key banker organization would be completed and in order to acquaint the bankers with agricul tural needs county bankers’ meetings were planned during the year. At a conference held at Montana State College It was reported that county key bankers had co-operated in arranging for a livestock special train which ran for seventeen days, made twenty-nine stops and came in contact with 22,000 people; that bankers had assisted in six district conferences that led to the formation of a state agricultural program, and that twenty-eight counties reported definite work- under the leadership of the county key bankers such as-assisting 4in the purchase of purebred livestock and loans to club members. Other States in Line

Idaho College of Agriculture was the scene of a special meeting attended by thirty-five bankers and college representatives. The conference voted to join the key banker ranks. In Oregon the first banker-farmer short course was held in January with a good attendance and marked en: thusiasm. A meeting of the state bankers Agricultural Committee held in conjunction with the course voted approval of the banker-farmer con test sponsored by Agricultural Commission, American Bankers Associa: tion, and appointed a committee to confer with' college authorities on methods to prevent spread of contagion in dairy cattle. i

California held twenty-two successful county tours during the year and as a result it is planned to extend the tours to every county in the state and also to arrange a state-wide tour. The county key bankers played a big part in pushing this work. At an Ari zona College of Agriculture meeting o! bankers county key bankers were appointed and plans made for community conferences of bankers, farmers and others where local agricultural needs will be discussed. fn New Mexico bankers and countyagents met at Clovis as a step in the plan to acquaint bankers in different sections of the state with agricultural conditions and to bring about greater co-operation between them and the county agents. At the Colorado College of Agriculture plans were formulated to select county key bankers, to follow up work with key bankers and county agents and for chairman of the state bankers’ committee to attend and address group meetings. In Nebraska four “farm outlook” meetings were held, largely attended by bankers. Sixty-nine county key bankers were appointed during the year and follow-up work between them and county agents is to be pushed. For lowa effective co-operation is reported between bankers and the HExtension Service of the state col lege in their farm bureau programs. Every third farmer in the state is a member of the bureau. The key bank: er system is to be continued and special emphasis is to be placed on team work between county agents and key bankers.

" Director D. H. Otis of the Agricul tural Commission American Bankers Association attended many of the meetings.

tle about money affairs, but now they are realizing this danger more and more and are taking advantage of the financial advice departments their bankers have set up for them. One thing that has led to women’s financlal undoing is their natural love of, pretty things. This trait often leads them into foolish investments and speculations to get money quickly. Once a woman sets her heart on a thing she can't wait until it is hers.” “But if women didn’t buy things, there wouldn’t be any business,” spoke up Molly.. “Women are the natural ‘spenders of the family, Dad says.” . “Yes, but they would have more to spend if they’d go a little slower,” replied Aunt Emmy. “Every time 1 #ee a woman falling for some silly get-rich-quick scheme I think of the nice things she could buy with the money she is going to lose. If they'd 80 slower—they’d get farther.” " “From what I know of the Slade girls,” Molly began—but just then the Slade girls themselves came in.

* “We're so sorry to be .late,” they apologized, “but we have béen having our first lesson in finance down at the ‘Trust Company. They are going to &ive us quite a lot of time and explain all the things we ought to know about ‘money to keep us out of financial trouble.” : . © “Well, my dears, you are going to the right school,” sald Aunt Emmy “If every woman would do that there’d be less trouble and more pretty things for sl of thep* .. o
