to farming it will gradually become

But agriculture can become a steadi-
| ly profitable business only as soil fer-
tility is built up and methods employ-
ed which will make crop failures prac-
tically impossible. The industrial pro-
ducer knows that a steady market
means the opportunity for a steady
output and a better margin of profit
than violent changes in the supply
and demand that make money for
him one year and lose It the next.

Joseph Chapman, vice-president of tha
Northwestern National Bank of Min-
neapolis. As president of tha Minneso-
ta Bankers' Association, Mr. Chapman
heard so many discussion's at bank-
ers' meetings as to how difficult it
was for farmers in their localttlee
to get help on the farm, that he ap-
pointed a committee In 1909 to inves-
tigate. They learned that people were
leaving the farms so rapidly that one-
third of Minnesota’s population lived
in three cities; that only one-third of
the State's tillable land was under cul-
tivation .and that only four tenths of
one per cent of the school children
were being educated to become pro-
ducers. In the four years since then
the .bankers of Minnesota have secur-
ed an appropriation of more than a
million dollars for agricultural and
domestic science education. Their sys-
tem of consolidated rural schools and
high schools is t;ow
so popular that
teachers enough,
elation has also organized grain and
stock contests, given prizes them-
selves and worked so successfully

ruff Trust Company. a*d loans, 'which
may be aacur«d_/or aa long aa thirty
yaara, can ba paid back in amall aemi-
annual auma covering both principal
and intereat.
Thw motivea of tha bankora were
aometlmea questioned at first, by
those who failed to understand their
relation to farming and the value of
their business knowledge in develop-
ing it, “but the results of their work
have been so obviously worth while
for all concerned that co-operation has
dispelled criticism. The man who ac-
cuses the bankers of having "some-
thing up theta- sleeves," is apt to be
the man who would exhaust the soil
fertility of his farm by short-sighted
methods of cultivation,' bdy another
and repeat the process as long as
money can be made from the increase
of land prices, due to a growing pop
ulation, rather than to land values
If pros-
perity is to be permanent. neither
the banker nor the farmer can prof-
it to himself alone, ner at the expense
of industry as a whole.
In working together ip this agri
cultural movement, the bankers anil |
the farmers have found the true nrt-
tyre of their personal and public re-
lationships. Only when they have ex-
tended their mutual activities to Na-i
tlonal needs of which their ^respectiv.-
work is but a part, will they realize
They hold annual ; the full significance of such
it. and aometlmea falls tn realize how
closely banking and farming are re-
lated. The banks muat finance the
purchasers of the farmers' products,
the railroads that transport those
products ahd the great Industries that
manufacture from them the world's
neceaalGes. They must loan money
to the grain nnd stockmen, to the cot-
tea buyers, the mall order houses, the
makers of farm machinery, the imple-
ment dealers and the local merchants
Who eould- not afford to give tooTt
liberal credit to farmers
could Zell their own
banks.
Bankers must not only safeguard
the present, but they must provide
for the economic future. They see
that the present disproportion between
city, and country population, between
Iconeumers and producers. between
[the demand and supply of farm nrod-j .in9n .promptly, should
lucte ennpot continue. The work of
[the g M nment experiment stations]
Mm- the '
M the experience of foreign coun-
[tries, has demonstrafed that certain’
methods result In Improved quantity |
and quality of production. Measured
by these results ft Is evident that our
farms t).re producing only about half'
I their capacity^ In other words stand-
ards have, been established which on-
ly part of the farmers have attained.
The money in the banks belongs to

That” is what the- bankers are try-

icised because, aa conservators of the
country’s permanent Wealth, they did

In 1911 the American Bankera' As-

of the farmers, of the bankers, or of
- any other single class, but for the
general prosperity In which al! share

pacity and economic function.
The bankers have not done their
when they simply loan money
There must
keeping the
good. The editor of one of
the best known farm papers recently
suggested that bankers should grade
farmers as they grade merchants and
so that a farmer
who could nnd would pay his debts
promptly would be known as A No. 1;
another who could secure only a cer-
I tain amount of credit would be No. 2;
a third who had plenty of property,
but "ho was careless about paying,
ba deposit* money or when he borrows would be In another class, and so on.
Now the farmer's ability as well aa his
willingness to farm and to borrow on
a business basis depends on whether
ha has the “every farmer for himself,"
idea, or whether he realizes his busi-
ness relation tp agriculture as an In-
dustry and his personal responsibili-
ty, toward other producers. Including
bankers.
The American farmer Is justly fam-
ed for his Independence. Rut he car- *
ries_Ahat IndepenWnce too far when
he considers himself exempt from the
conditions under which other classes
of borrower^, must meet their obliga-
tions promptly. Country, bankers, and

mers, as a rule, are among the mosj
negligent of creditors. The fnhmer I

The bankers are not attempting to
tell the farmers how to farm. There
is plenty of knowledge on that sub-
ject, but the problem is how to get
It put into practice. The Government
farm demonstration method seemed
most successful, so the bankers have
led the movement in their various
states to secure a farm adviser for
every county. They have co-operated
with farmers and local business men
in establishing farm bureaus, and with |
the State agricultural colleges and
Legislatures in securing increased ag-
ricultural and vocational training.

It would be interesting to know how
