Otis After three y: opportunity to &! found to be an actual and a distinc to the banks of farming communitie: How the Exchange Works The idea is worked out as fol- ny farmer in the state who bas ade or pure-bred livestock for sale can step into the bank where he does his banking busi- , and, on blanks furnished to bank, can list what he has to ving the number, age, color, , price, etc, Any farmer, on) her hand, who wishes to pur-| a horse or a cow, or even a} nad 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 requirements, and which are| situated as close as possible to his locality. With the development of the} work of the Exchange, we found} there was a large number of} quiries coming in for carload| lots of improved dairy cattle. In order to handle these buyers effi- ciently, it was necessary to secure reliable field men. This was done hy getting in touch with local banks and having the banker rec-| ommend a reliable man who was a good judge of stock, who was well acquainted with the farmers and commanded their respect, and who was in a position to meet buyers with his automobile and take them from farm to farm, show them the | vck that was for sale, and, when} und satisfactory by the buyer, help mbling, testing and shipping. The Services of Field Men These field men are expected to} keep posted on the livestock for | any sale in their respective commu nities. They are to steer the| buyers away from herds that) are known to be affected with tu-} berculosis, or that have conta-j gious abortion.

For the services rendered by the Banker-Farmer | Exchange, including the services of the field man and his automobile, | the buyer pays a 5 per cent com: | mission. This commission {3 dl- | vided equally with the local field | man. | During 1922, the Exchange ex- perienced a marked growth. It had inquiries for over 12,000 head otf 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. | Ot these, nine carloads went to the, state of Maryland, eight to Ilinols, four each to Ohio and Minnesota, three each to Iowa, North Dakota and Missourl, two each to Mon- tana, South Dakota, Florida, Mis: | to Washington, Michigan, Indiana, | Georgia, New York and Kansas. | The balance were sold to parties in Wisconsin. Sales Greatly Increased i The value of the livestock sold | during the year amounted to $1 575, as compared with $37,092 in 1921.
