THE BANK'S PART IN
By H. LANE YOUNG
Member American Bankers Associa
tion Agricultural Commission
ONE of the®most discussed and least
understood questions regarding
the 7tayn3er’s‘ pro_blems is the part the
banl‘ha's played,
or is to play, in
financing the
farmer. The basis
of co-operation
between the two,
however, is a very
simple one.
Both sides are
subject to eriti
cism for the con
dition that exists
today. The major
shareofthe blame
rests on those/

banks that have e
failed through disregarding funda
mental principles in loaning other
people’s money, that have encouraged
the farmer to expect bank loans with
out first putting his business on the
earning basis which would justify a
bank to lend him money.
One of the underlying reasons for
the failure of so many country banks
has been the existence-of too'many
banks. With the limited business of
the commmunity divided among too
many banks it was impossible for them |
to make enough money to justify the
employment of cficers with the proper |
ability to manage the bank success
fully. Then the scramble for busingss |
was so hard that good judgment and
foresizht were forzotten in granting‘
loans, with the resuitant failure of‘
the weaker institutions. |
In the fature, banks are not going}
to loan the money of their depositors
without the kind of security that can |
be immediately realized upon in case
the lcan is not paid, or unless the ap
plicant presents a sound and success- |
ful record of business operation—
whather that business be manufactur
ing, merchandising, or farming. |
Farnting-Banking Interdezendent
becauss country «banking cafxnot“‘:e“
suceessfully and profitably carried ons
vnless farming is succecsfully and |
profitably operated—the two busi- |
nozses are dependent upon each other. ‘
There is no ®nger any question thatl
the time has arrived for these inter
dependent busineszes to reach a com
mon grcund of understanding of t‘:.e}
requirements that both must meet for
their mutual welfare. |
There is no doubt but whathe fu
turn prosperity of the farmer and the
basis of cooperation between banker
and farmer is the intelligent diversi
fication of crops. It is necessary, how- |
ever, to have the right conccption of
diversification.
The mistake that many farmers
have made in attempting to diversify
has been to invest too much money,
time and land in @ new and untried
crop—sometimes a hazardous crop, or
one for which no immediate market
has been developed, resulting in a loss
of the initial eftbrt and discourage
ment of future efforts on a more con
servative basis.
Disregarding the primary and eseen
tjal primeiple of farming—mnamely, in
creasing earpings by decreasing the
cost of production through the prac
tice of building up soil by crop rota
tion and intensive cultivation, i 8 re
eponsible for w large share of the
farmers’ troxble today. .
