“Volume of bank deposits is now larg¬
er than ever before and volume of bank

price recorded here in month, to 16c
a gallon.
Atlanta—Tonnage of fertilizers sold

oth r period of inflation and realize
necessity of keeping commercial activ¬
ity within sound confines. If production
costs can be held to reasonable figures
and prevent undue price rises, perma¬
nently prosperous conditions can be
maintained.

THE SECRET OF
OUR FAILURE
following significant
r<jl School Agriculture,” just published
as Rural „ Schools , , , Leaflet No. 11, by * the
U. __ S. Bureau of Education, Department
of the Interior, Washington:
“We have failed to teach the essen¬
tial principles of co-operation and
group action made necessary to pur so¬
cial organization. We have failed to
teach group interrelationship, so that
farmers have little ability to see the ef
feet upon the farming group of other
group programs ’ Those who hav ? led
in rural thought have failed to convince
farmers in general that organization
as a means of economy in distribution
and self-preservation in the struggle
for existence against other organized
groups bent upon their exploitatioi, is
a necessity. This explains why the
farmer of the United States, although
the most efficient agricultural worker
of the world, has not bettered his lot
even though he has bettered his prac¬
tice. Uneconomical distribution and in¬
ability to compete against organiza¬
tions have robbed him of a major por¬
tion of his profits. He has managed to
live and to accumulate wealth. He has
not been pauperized, but he has avoid
ed it in too many cases only through
drudgery, exploitation of his wife, and
children, and adopting a standard of
lving such as is unjust. His lot is little
better than in pioneering day 3 . He is
entitled to more of the rewards of his
toil than he has been able to get.”

LOVE OF THE FORESTS
In other parts of the country move¬
ments have been planned to encourage
individuals to plant trees. This plant¬
ing is intended to create a love of for¬
ests which will eventually lead to
larger enterprises in that field of en¬
deavor. One of the principal organiza¬
tions is the American Tree Associa¬
tion. In explaining its scope, its presi¬
dent recently said:
‘The people of this country must see
the value of trees and tree planting.
After planting individual trees them¬
selves they will come to see the value
of town forests and town wood-lots.
They will come to see that, properly
handled, they can have their forests t

WHEN THE PINCH COMES
WHEN the family larder is well filled, the income is regular and the household
carefree, the home grocer is given but little of the consideration he deserves. But then
comes adversity; work suspends and the income is cut off. It is then that thought
turns to the grocer who has been quietly watching the delivery of products of the out
of town house, and he is appealed to. His sense of pity is deadened and it is but right
that he refuse to extend credit to those who have failed to patronize him in their day of
prosperity. Even the grocer’s boy is aware of the condition and cannot but smile when
the “boss” reminds the inconsiderate customer.
MORAL:—It is only the faithful that deserve the consideration of the one who
possesses the power.
