Banker-Farmer Notes
Chambersburg, Pennsylvania,, banka
and Chamber of Commerce at the be-
ginning of 1923 mapped out a vigor-
ous program for the promotion ot
agriculture in the county. Through-
out the year they assisted in keeping
the farm organizations functioning
and distributed to them agricultural
bulletins and information of interest.
They held rural community meetings
and entertainments, exhibits of farm
and home products, and advertised
home products. One specific result
was to induce a milk receiving station
to locate in the vicinity, and during

Taming Speed Maniacs
Authorities in Bulgaria sometimes
adopt crude methods to enforce the
speed limit. During the months when,
because the roads are not macadam-
ized, there is a great deal of dust, sol-
diers and policemen are stationed on'
roads leading into Sofia. When a car
is adjudged to be going too fast an
admonition is shouted. If the speed is
not slackened immediately a rifle shot
Is fired into the air. If that does not
produce the desired effect aim is di-
rected at the wheels. It may be im-
agined that unless the rifle is in the
hands of an expert marksman the oc-
cupants of the car are likely to be hit.
But the treatment stops the cars.

One of the leading problems that
Is confronting many of our states is
that of diversified farming, says D. H.
Otis, Agricultural Director of the
American Bankers’ Association.
“During the past year the Agricul-
tural Commission of the association
has arranged for conferences in eight
of the twelve Federal Reserve dis-
tricts,” he says. “At these confer-
ences we have tried to get in touch
with the agricultural needs of the re-
spective regions and advise with the
bankers and others interested as to
What the banks might do to help in
their solution. A resolution adopted
in the Fifth District serves as an ex-
ample of what is needed in many
sections:
“ 'Encouragement of a proper system
of diversified farming in which farm-
ers will grow as far as practical all
the fopd and feed crops necessary for
feeding the family and livestock of
the farm, and to keep on the farms
the requisite kinds and amounts of
livestock best to meet the economic
needs of farming in this district.’
“The conference in the Ninth Dis-
trict emphasized strongly the need of
greater diversification. The farmer
who raises nothing but wheat is un-
wise, even foolish: He is one of the
worst kifids of gamblers, one who
gambles on the weather, on insects, on
drought, and various other things that
affect the quality of the product. The
farmer who raises wheat and along
with it the other crops and keeps a
reasonable amount of livestock has
something to fall back on when wheat
is plentiful and cheap. He is not
putting all of his eggs in one basket.
Diversification for Contentment
“In many of the states the first
step in diversified farming is to get
the farmer to raise sufficient live-
stock to feed his own family. He
needs to get a cow, sow and a couple
of dozen chickens so that his own
needs can be supplied without going
into debt at the store. Livestock used
to furnish food for the family will
frequently consume large amounts of
feed that would otherwise go to waste.
Livestock enables the family to set a
better table and live under more
healthful conditions. More work is
furnished to the family, making pos-
sible larger family income. If the
farm family is producing enough to
feed itself, there will be much more
contentment and much less idle time
in which to criticize the government.
“The Agricultural Commission is do-
ing all in its power to encourage a
.^■Bane system of diversified farming.
The subject is being discussed at vari-
ous conferences, articles and edito-
rials are being published for the pur-
pose of acquainting bankers with tho
importance of this work.
Bankers Are Assisting
“It is encouraging at these confer-
ences to find that the bankers are
incorporating the subject of diversi-
fied farming in their program and
laying plans in every way possible to
carry it out. To this end we have
records of a number of banks who are
putting up money to their farmers to
purchase livestock. They are en-
couraging boys and girls to go into
club work.
“For the coming year we hope to
carry on this work in greater detail
and as far as possible hold conferences
with the officers and members of the
agricultural committee in each of the
respective states at the Agricultural
College. We believe that in co-or-
dinating this work with the college,
we will reap the benefit of team effort.
We are pleased with the hearty re-
sponse we are receiving from the vari-
ous colleges of agriculture and we be-
lieve that the opportunity is great for
influencing various communities in
better types of farming and in im
proved methods of business manage-
ment.”

brim turned up all- around, reports
that by actual measurement nearly
one-half inch of rain fell while he
was out in it this morning.
On the walls in the “front office’’
of a little country newspaper in In-
diana there used to hang a collection
of trophies and curios from many
lands. Among them was the skin of a
diamond rattlesnake with the rattles
attached. Seldom was there a word
of appreciation of the beautiful color-
ing and the exquisite markings of the
skin. Fear and hatred of snakes seem
to be inherent in mankind, a writer
in the Indianapolis News comments.
And yet there are several kinds of
harmless snakes which are useful in
that they destroy great numbers of
predatory rodents. One of them is
the king snake, so called because of
its courage, its strength and its fear-
lessness. There are seven species of
the king snake in the United States.
So fearless is it that it will capture
and devour other kinds of snakes
much larger than itself, including the
rattlers, to the venom of which it
seems to be immune. It eats rats,
mice, lizards, and birds, but not toads.
The corn snake, so called because it
frequents fields of growing corn in
quest of rodents; the pilot snake and
the fox snake are also allies of the
farmer. Because of their habit
haunting barns .and stables two or
three different species have been
called house snakes. They consume
large numbers of rats and mice, and,
it must be confessed', an occasional
young chicken and eggs, as well, but
the good they do doubtless overbal-
ances the harm. The so-called milk
snake does not steal milk from cows,
contrary to an old-time fallacy. In
captivity this snake shows no liking
for milk. It frequents the cow stable
for the mice and rats it finds there.
Other beneficial snakes are the chick-
en and the gopher snakes, the latter
sometimes known as the black snake.
The blue racer, like all the other rac-
ers, is an athlete. It is quick In move-
ment, climbs well and swims rapidly.
It is harmless and is a great destroyer
of moles and mice. Many of the wa-
ter snakes are harmless, but as they
live on toads, frogs and fish they are
not especially beneficial to mankind.
The garter snake, the most common
and the most prolific of all the harm-
less snakes found in the United States,
is really of doubtful benefit to the
farmer. It subsists on cold-blooded
creatures, toads, frogs and fishworms.
By devouring toads it destroys one
of man’s best agencies in his fight
against insect pests.
“There is a law of compensation which
somehow or other makes us work in old
age for the things we wasted in youth.”
