The raising of first class cattle and the planting of
pure-bred seeds take but little, if any, more time than
inferior cattle and'inferior seeds. With improved live-
stock and dependable seed the earnings of the farmer
are sure to increase in volume and value. That thought
was the forerunner of the Banker-Farmer Exchange idea,
a plan by which the banker might aid the farmer toward
the possession of better cattle and the production of
better crops and find a ready market for his surplus.

After three years of operation, dur-
ing which time there ha3 been oppor-
tunity to give the plan a thorough
test, the Exchange has been found to
be an actual and a distinct help to
farmers, and, incidentally, to the
banks of farming communities.
How the Exchange Works
The idea is worked out as follows:
Any farmer in the Btate who has
any grade or pure-bred livestock for
sale, can step into the bank where he
does .his banking business, and, on
blanks furnished to the bank, can list
what be has to offer, giving tbe num-
ber, age, color, records, price, etc.
Any farmer, on tbe other hand, who
wishes to purchase a horse or a cow,
or even a carload of stock, can notify
his banker of the kind and number
of stock he wishes. These listings are
sent to a central office, where the
prospective purchaser is put in touch
with the listings of stock for sale that
come nearest to meeting ^his require-
ments, and which are situated as close
as possible to his locality.
With the development of the work
of the Exchange, we found that there
was a large number of Inquiries com*
ing in for carload lots of improved
dairy cattle. In order to handle these
buyers efficiently, it was necessary to
secure reliable field men. This was
done by getting in touch with local
banks and having the banker recom-
mend a reliable man who was a good
judge of stock, who was well acquaint-
ed with the farmers and commanded
their respect, and who was in a posi-
tion to meet buyers with his automo-
bile and take them from farm to farm,
show them the stock that was for
•ale, and, when found satisfactory by
the buyer, help in assembling, testing
and shipping.
The Services of Field Men

During 1922, the Exchange experi-
enced a marked growth. It had in-
quiries for over 12,000 head of dairy
cattle, an increase of 50 per cent over
the preceding year. The records show
58 carloads sold, as compared with 23
carloads in 1921. Of these, nine car-
loads went to the state of Maryland,
eight to Illinois, four each to Ohio and
Minnesota, three each to Iowa, North
Dakota and Missouri, two each to
Montana, South Dakota, Florida, Mis-
sissippi and Canada, and one each to
Washington. Michigan, Indiana, Geor-
gia, New York and Kansas. The bal-
ance were sold to parties in Wisconsin.
Sales Greatly Increased
The value of the livestock sold dur-
ing the year amounted to $115,575, as

An encouraging feature of the work
is found in the repeat orders. Buyers
seem to be pleased with the service
they have received and are not only
coming back themselves, but are re-
ferring others to the Exchange.
Another encouraging feature of the
work Is the increased interest that is
developing in the state. Parties are
