WHAT A KEY BANKER
DID FOR HIS COUNTY
The farmers of one county in Ten-
sasses are receiving 1400000 addi-
tional annual lacom from new farm
enterprises started since 1928 through
the efforts of a toy banker" and the
county agent according to estimates
from the Tennessea College of Agri-
culture A 'key banker" is a part of the
state bent:era' association voluntary
field force cooperating with the Ameri-
can Bankers Assotttion in Its nation-
wide plan for bringing about better
agricultural conditions through cotu-
bined banker-farmer effort New pro-
jects started in this particular county
are tobacco Irish potato and rabbne
production for cash crops and dairy-
ing and poultry raising for liveste
The key banker looking- for some-
thing to do to better his community
first attempted to procure a county
agent but was unable to get the county
to make the neceesary appropriation
so be and other leading citizens made
up the requisite funds through private
subscription among farmers and busi-
ness men and an agent was employed
Up until 1928 grain was the prin-
cipal farm production in the county
The banker recognized the disadvant-
ages of this It afforded a low cash
income and the land was too hilly and
rough for profitable grain raising His
Idea wee to introduce cash crops that
offered more return per acre and were
better fitted to the county It was de-
cided that the county should stand-
ardise on the Green Mountain potato
and to market it in carload lots
Through his bank he sponsored the
buying of a car of certified seed
potatoes He likewise bought same
high quality tobacco seed and several
hundred settings of purebred eggs
These supplies were distributed at cost
through the banks to the farmers
After considerable effort a market
for dairy products was assured the
farmers when In 1928 a national cheese
company located a factory there A
county appropriation was secured for
county agent work in 1928
In 1929 the cash crop program re-
sulted in tdrmers selling $45000 worth
of milk $150000 worth of tobacco and
fifty-five carloads of potatoes and cab-
bage mostly through cooperative sales
"This was some step from the $25000
worth of cash crops in 1928" the
county agent says "and indications
are that this amount will be doubled"
Farm Service by a Bank
A farm service department was
inaugurated a year ago by a bank
in Olympia Washington and a
farm advisor appointed Close co-
operation has been maintained
with the state college extension
service Work in dairying is car-
ried on in conjunction with the

tion Also a pasture contest was
held in cooperation with the four
banks In the county which offered
prizes amounting to $100 Work in
poultry was carried on in coopera-
tion with the Co-operative Poultry
Association and assistance was
given in organizing an economics
conference for the benefit of berry
growers The farm advisor of the
bank is active in the Agricultural
Council of the county composed
of farm and other organizations
Interested in agricultural develop-
ment and also in the Farmers'
Market Six hundred farm busi-
ness analysis blanks were distrib-
uted while farm amount books and
poultry record books were also pro-
vided to farmers and have been
helpful in starting many farmers
