LENDING FIGURES Grand Rapids, Mich. detor Nonpartisan Leader: Why are banks organized to give - stockholders 20 to 200 per cent divi- dends? Do the banks earn this divi- dend? A man borrows from a bank, but instead of receiving the money, he receives a certificate of deposit in the bank. No money has been depos- ited, none withdrawn. The man who puts his note in the bank is paying interest on a set of figures—in other words, the bank is a credit-swapping institution, using the government’s money to help him out. If the bank paid the depositor 4 per cent interest and loaned it again at 6 per cent, there would be no money in banking. The loan of bookkeeping figures could earn no such profits in any other-business. EZRA R. AVERILL. PASS LEADERS ALONG = Columbus, N. D. Editor Nonpartisan Leader:- Inclosed find a clipping from the Walker (Minn.) Pilot and a copy of the letter I wrote to the editor. I am sending all my Leaders to Cass county as soon as I have read them myself. If we all pass our Leaders along to some other farmer, it surely will help the cause. : ORA P. RICKEY.

Diddie Co., Marshfleld, Wis. - = T FOR Johnson Co., CHANGES IN OAT GRADES One of the features of the new fed- eral oat grades, which will become ef- fective on June 16, 1919, is that yellow oats are classed as white oats, and can take any numerical grade subject only to general appearance or the color re- quirements for each grade. This will permit yellow oats of good creamy white appearance to grade as high as No. 1, the United States depart- ment of agriculture states. The old standards in many cases prohibited yellow oats from grading higher than No. 3. Another feature of the grading rules is that a statement of the test weight per bushel is required on all inspection certificates. Because the minimum weight per bushel for No. 1 oats is 32 pounds for the national standards, which is six to eight. pounds lighter than much of the oats crop produced in the Pacific Northwest and in cer- tain other intermountain and central western areas, grain dealers and buy- ers in those parts of the country will probably place their bids on the basis of higher test weights than are pro- vided in the federal grades, as, for example, “bid today for No. 1 white oats, 36 pounds or better,” or, “No. 1 white, 38 pounds or better,” etc.—DE- PARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. A LITTLE PIG SAVER An eight-inch plank placed against the wall of the farrowing pen 10 inches from the floor will save pigs, as the pigs will slide under the plank if the sow should lay on them.— NORTH DAKOTA AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
