WORK OF ORGANIZED BANKING TO PROMOTE BF.nER FARMING By D. H. OTIS Agricultural Director American Banker* Association. The Agricultural Commission of the American Bankers Association has adopted and encourages the following general

projects in its national program: 1. Povs and qirls club work. , 2. Diversified farming. A Increased appropriations for agricultural research. With the state bankers’ associations, the agricultural colleges and hosts of farmers’ organizations uniting in all parts of the country, the Commission has held conferences in forty-seven states. The different individual projects approved number 195. Plans are now under way

D. H. Oil*

for follow-up work in making these programs effective. These banker-farmer conferences have resulted not only

in definite programs, but they have been the means of greatly increasing Interest on the part of bankers At the beginning there were a number of states that had no agricultural committees. Others were Inactive. We now have agricultural committees for each stale with the exception of two. and these have promised to appoint committees soon. Bhnker Influence The attitude of the bankers is not that of attempting to tell the farmers bow to farm, but rather to aid tn bringing about conditions that will help the farmer to help himself. The farmer who produces, the agricultural! college that is attempting to improve | the quality of ‘farm products, and the banker who furnishes the capital are J endeavoring to put their heads together and perform team work. AI representative of one of the colleges j of agriculture recently made the slate- ■ meat that the bankers could do more i than the colleges tor the advancement j of agriculture. The banker is in posi-j tlon to influence the type of agricul-, ture practiced by the farmer patrons, j A county agent comes in contact with only 15 to 20 per cent of the farmers of his county, while the bankers come in contact with al least 75 per cent. in some localities farmers seem to be prejudice d against bankers, due largely to misunderstanding. There Is no better way for relieving this strained relationship than by getting the banker and fanner pulling together for their mutual interests and for the community. If agriculture Is to develop it is nee essary to maintain on the soil men and women who will put as much intelligence into their business as is put into other lines of business. It is hard to change the attitude of mind of an old farmer. The great hope is in developing boys and jrirls into men and women, tfho-will be interested in improving the conditions on our farms Out of forty-seven programs adopted at the banker-farmer conferences, thir-

"■ I '■ " "» ty-six included boys’ and girls’ club work as one of their leading project*. Fartp Accounting A large number of bankers are recognizing the importance of inventories. financial statements and farm account*-; and are encouraging the keeping of records among their farmer patrons. Not a few insist on a financial statement from the farmer before making a loan, just as is required of other business men. Such a statement ; not only acquaints the banker with the financial status of the farmer but ! also brings the farmer face to face with conditions on his farm and calls ■ attention to opportunities for improvei menu In many states county bankers’ asso--1 clations are being organized with I agricultural committees. In New Jersey every \county is thus organized. I Ohio has a representative of the agri- | cultural committee in every county in j the state. Wisconsin has added thiri teen agricultural committees to its j county organizations. In Arkansas educational trains have been run In co operation with the railroads, the College of Agriculture, and others tor stimulating Interests in better farming metheds. In Oregon the Bankers Association employs a field secretary to devote his entire time to carrying on educational and agricultural programs. In Kentucky special plans have been developed for coordinating the various organizations interested in agricultural development. Key men, bankers, have been appointed in sixtyfive counties. An annual income of f 6.000 is provided and field secretary employed. It will he seen that the efforts of the Agricultural Commission and the committees of the various states, in cooperation with the colleges of agriculture. have been to formulate workable programs. The field for work ' appears unlimited. The spirit of the bankers and the colleges is superb and effective results will be accomplished.

The direct cost of all crimes in this country ba* now reached its highest peak. Statistics reveal startUng Increases in nearly every type of crime during the past ten years.

LOW.eoO.IMO Arson 50.000.00® Miscellaneous 76.000.000 1 am giving cold figures, not to startle any one unless it be toward more extreme care In handling and safeguarding funds and valuables. Right here let me quote rules to help foil criminals known as “check passers” or “scratchers”; they will help you to avoid serious loss: I. Never write checks with a pencil. l’.«e pen and Ink or. if possible, a check protector 2 Fill In all blank spaces 3 Dop’t erase. Errors should be corrected t>y writing a new check and destroying those incorrectly written. ♦. Never give a blank check to a stranger and never cash a stranger’s eheck without an Indorsement which you have noMtfvely verified 5. Make checks payable to “rash” or “bearer” only when you personally present them at your bank. Otherwise use the name of the person you intend shad receive payment. « Never place your signature alone a* an Indorsement on cheeks you Intend to deposit Write above or below your signature the words “For deposit only “ 7 Never sign blank checks. If you expect to be absent any length of time open a separate account subject to check of your employee or agent. 8. Guard your cancelled vouchers a* you would a valid check, leaving ooao where they may be easily taken. 9 Keep your check books securely • locked up and be careful bow and whero you sign or exhibit your signature. 10. Beware of the magic of the word “certified " Ordinary certification stamps can be duplicated almost as easily as any other rubber stamp. 11. Watch checks which apparently; bear the makers' “O. K■” or other forms of approval. They are more easily* forged than the full signature 12. Safeguard yeur checks as you would your money, for they represent money. 13. Deposit slips provide space for your name, usually upon the upper lines. These written incorrectly should be destroyed as otherwise your signature will be available for fraudulent use. You can prevent tvs* by first writing the detail of amounts deposited and then printing your account name. The bankers* campaign for every* body to “pay by check” has # born* fruit It has been* estimated that to* day mure than 95 per cent of th* business of the U. S. is transacted by the use of checks *r other credit Instruments. That means about six and one-half billion checks will be written by bank depositors in this country during 1924 and they will total about ISOO.OOQ.OOOJOG in amount, or one hundred times the money in circulation. Banks War on Crooks The average bank depositor when queried as to what his bank does to protect his deposits, will probably tell you they are kept in a great vault and that armed watchmen are employed, as well as an elaborate and efficient burglary and robbery alarm system. Be may not know that the 23.000 banks comprising the American Bankers Association have constantly, and conveniently available an army of highly trained specialists who wag* a continuous and relentless warfare against the bank criminal Thao* operatives are within easy reach of any member bank. Criminals know that if they attack a member bank they are attacking one of the most powerful and effective protective organizations in existence. Another medium by which bankers prevent many financial crimes or losses is the warnings continually broadcast from the American Banker* Association and forty-eight stat* bankers associations. These warnings keep the trap constantly set and carry out the Association’s plan of crim* prevention as contrasted with detection. Danger Ahead American farmers should not increase their wheat acreage for 1934. If they increase the acreage by thro* million acres, as t* Indicated by th* Intentions to Seed Wheat Survey of th* government, and normal condF. dons again prevail in other wheat producing countries, next year’s wheat market will be glutted and once more price* will be ruinously low. The present high price of wheat is due to poor crops in other countries and in certain sections of ttie United States.—W. M. . Jardine, Advisory Council. Agricultural Commission. American Bankers Association. Where Bankers, Come From The smaller localities ar* to a large extent th* recruiting ground tor th* profession of banking. A recent survey discloses the tact that of 632 senior bank officers tn the largest cities of the United States. 4M. or 60 per cent, were born in the country or la small towns. Os the 633 senior bankers of large elties, 427, or approximately 63 p*r cent, had a high school or college education. Th* conclusion is reasonable that the smaller environment, coupled with aa education, makes for success tn the banking field.—America* Bankers Association Journal.

AUTO ACCIDENTS SEDUCED IN 1924 Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 12. — Continuous appeal by various agencies for the motoring - public to drive carefully and sensibly at grade crossings, appears tc made some headway chiring 1924. according to accident figures compiled by the maintenance division of the state highway department, just submitted to John D. Williams, state road director. V “Our field organization can not obtain a report of every accident; curing on a state road,” A. H. Hi.nkle, maintenance superintendent, explains, “but we obtain a! report of the worst accidents and of all fatalities.” The report shows a total of, 372 accidents for the fiscal year ending November 30, and of this number J6O are charged to fast i driving. While there were only five ac-, c i dents the past year at steam road crossings, and five a-t electric line crossings, all five resulted in fatalities at the former end four fatalities at the latter. There were 16 accidents each at railroad and electric crossings reported by the highway department for 1923.. - Tn the 372 accidents during 1924. the highway report' shows that thirty-three persons were, killed, and 197 injured, some seriously? While fast driving is attributed as the chief cajrse of accidents 39 were due to intoxicated driver*. 20 account of steep grades. 23 on sharp curves, 21 for lack of guard rails. 16 on slippery pavement. 13 account of deep side ditches, 25 due to glaring headlights, 41 because of narrow ro?ds and 14 attributed to miscellaneous causes. Reviewing the season’s accident toll, Mr. Williams points out that work by the department such as widening reads, easing Curves and turns, building shoulders, widening culverts, etc., is undoubtedly responsible for a 21 percent decrease in fatal accidents compared with 1923. It will be further noted, he nvs, that collisions with narrow bridges are becoming more numerous. This is largely due, he explains, to the increase in automobile traffic and the fact that tie commission can only, with funds at its> command, replace a limited number of narrow bridges each year. The headwalls at each narrow bridge are battered where traffic has struck them, .demonstrating the importance of extending these structures as soon as -money is available. Subscribe for the Journal.

NEW VARIETY SWEET CORN Luther Burbank has announced that he bad perfected a new variety of sweet corn, at Santa Rosa, Cal,, which he believes will prove more productive and sweeter than any yet produced. He also announced the perfec- ; tion of a new variety of gladiola and two varieties of Zinnias. Any man who can do for roasting ears such a mighty deed as this is deserving of more than passing notice. He falls into the class of the agriculturalist who , made two blades of grass grow where only one grew before and ' he moves to a position near the head of the procession. The cross varieties are many. But Burbank says that he has improved the best there is today and that he will be able to give the home gardener a corn that .will grow bigger and be sweeter than ever. —: 0 Z WHY SOME BABIES DIE Here is the death rate of babies under one year old as related to health of parents, examined in one large English town.
