Four Conditions Broadly speaking, the Responsibility of a bank is determined by the following con- siderations: ist. The Intrinsic Value of its Security. 2d. The Conservative Policy of Its Officers. 3d. The Known Character of its Managemnnt. 4th. The Satisfactory History of its Transactions, Incidentally, it is generally agreed that these characteristics have made for the MISSOURI STATE BANK an ever increasing business and have placed this RESPONSIBLE institution in a position to furnish a banking service second to none in this section.

Success and friends always follow a bank account for the Work College of Agriculture, This is the experience of a wide- awake student at the Missouri Col- lege of Agriculture in the tall of 1911. He knew that corn for the following crop-should be gathered before it was injured by the cold weather. Since there was no one available to do the work in a satisfactory manner, he made several trips home to New Flor- ence, Mo., and spent those Saturdays in selecting good sound ears. of corn from well matured stalks. His moth- er’s kitchen was twenty feet long and he took possession of one end, string- ing up rows of ears along the wall. The cars received a good circulation of air, and heat trom the stove quick- ly dried them. The student didn’t know that March is a good time to test seeds for spring | planting, so during the Easter vaca- | Selecting the Seed Corn A Missouri Boy Who Realized Big Returns He Expended University of Missouri. or four days, which was sufficient time for germination, Some of the grains were tested by placing them in squares in a moist sawdust box and covering them with a wet blanket. The “rag doll” method is one of the simplest and easiest means of testing corn and produced faster germination than the ‘sawdust box. The latter is harder fo geep under even conditions of ‘moisture and temperature. The old seed germinated slower than the nw corn, because it was drier and harder, making it difficult for water to penetrate to the germ. From enough seed to plant forty | acres only one ear failed to give 100 per cent germination. The results are quite above the average for last year, which was very hard on farm seeds, A BASKET OF PRODUCERS tion he went home to work on his | seed corn. About 10 per cent of the | ears were thrown away because of immaturity, mold, and poor shape or | size. There was not enongh left for planting and he selected some more from a crib of old corn that was in g00d conditon. In testing he did not move the corn on the wall, but select- ed two grains from the tip, two from the butt, and two from the middle of theear, placing these six grains from each ear together in numbered rows on strips of moistened cloth. The cloths were rolled up, forming a “rag doll,” and were kept moist for three GD OPERATION PROFITABLE FARMERS WHO CO-OPERATE HAVE MANY ADVANTAGES. | By C. E. Brashear, College of Agricul-; ture, University of Misouri. We compliment ourselves upon the | prosperity of our farmers. But the prosperity of the farmer of today is not a thing to wonder at. The won- der would come if he were not pros- perous. Remembering the wealth! stored in the soil we till and the mar- kets we have at our disposal, what People would not be prosperous under our conditions? ~ The question is, are we as prosper- ous as we should be? Are we perma- nently prosperous? One thing we need, and what we are coming to, is united effort, work- ing together more. The farmer is placed at a disadvantage in his deal- ings with other people because he acts single handed. The small amount of business of one farmer is not of great importance to the men who buy his products or sell supplies to him. There are a number of farmers in any locality similarly situated, necd- ing to buy the same supplies and hav- ing for sale the same products. These farmers should be prepared to offer their products in sufficient quantities to make it worth while for dealers to handle them. Such united acticn would make pos- sible many improvements. What is now done by one large farmer could be done equally well by a number of small farmers. Production of uni- form varieties of crops, uniform breeds of live stock, the selling of these as from one individual, thus of- fering shipments large enough to at- tract several buyers; these are some of the results of united effort among farmers. It would make possible co- operation in the purchase of supplies, in the purchase of machinery and live etock. We can prove this to you if you will GIVE US A CHANCE PEOPLES BANK Butler, Mo. “The Bank on Which You Can Always Bank.” But before these things are possi- ble, there must be harmony. The farmer must understand his neighbor and his neighbor’s needs. Nothing will bring this about better than local organizations. Something that will bring the people of a community to- gether often, and encourage them to study together their own local prob- lems, and learn to solve them to- gether. Other instances of desirable results achieved by cooperation might be shown. They all indicate the great Possibilities lying before any commu- nity. owing to the prolonged wet fall and unusually cold winter. All of the stu- dent's seed gave an excellent stand.. On the last day of planting the panter boxes ran empty. Three or four acres were left and a neighbor who was planting corn across the fence across the fence gave him enough seed to finish, Ten to twenty per cent of the neigh- bod’s seed came up and that part of the field had to be replanted. The replat got a late start and the short summer drought checked it. It is needless to say which kind of seed is making the largest yield of corn. LIBRARY FOR THE FARMER bit acres The use of a few well selected books should add to the profits of any farmer. By their use he can obtain information on any agricultural sub- ject. He can follow the line in which he is most interested and get the ideas of men who have spent years studying this particular subject.- He olso gets the results of a large num- ber of experiments conducted by agri- cultural experiment stations. Infor- mation at the right time on such sub- jects as: the treatment of disease, methods of seeding, and methods of tillage, will mean quite a saving to the farmer. Such books are also an ornament to the home and add to the pleasure of living on the farm. The following books are recom- mended to Missouri farmers by F. B.
