COURIER WHY =========== Poppies and Battlefields Associated For hundreds of years this flower lias been associated with tlie battle fields of western Europe, especially in Flanders, where it grows as a pest among the wheat and in uncul tivated fields. Poppies grow luxuriantly on battlefields in that section sir.iply be cause such fields are torn up und then neglected for a season or two. ( on >>niporyry writers refer to the pro fusion of poppies winch sprang up on the battlefields of Landen. Uamilies, Malplaquet, Fontenoy and Water loo. William of Orange and Lux emburg fought the bloody battle of Landen in the summer of 1(593. In his history of England Macaulay says of this battlefield: "During many months the ground was strewn with skulls and bones of men and horses, and with fragments of hats a'nd shoes, saddles and holsters. The next summer the soil, fertilized-bv 20,000 corpses, br 'e forth into millions of poppies. The travelers, who, on the road from Saint Tron to Tirlemont, saw that vast sheet of rich scarlet spreading from Lm den to Neerwinden. could hardly help fancying that the figurative prediction of the Hebrew prophet was literally accomplished, that the earth was dis closing her blood, and refusing to cover the slain." The poppy became peculiarly associated with the battle fields of the World war as the result of the poem by John AlcCrae, Can adian physician, soldier and poet. "In Flanders Fields" was written during the second battle of Ypres. The poppy is the official memorial flower of the American Legion and is widely worn on Memorial day—May 30 —which by reason of this fact is frequently called Poppy day.—Exchange.

Heavy Cetioa Yields Mean Low-Urit Costs The rock bottom cost of producing | a pound o£ seed cotton last year was probably 2% cents. At least, that is what it cost the winners of cotton growing contests in nine Southern States. An inspection of their records shows that every one of the winners, 22 in all, side-dressed their crop. The aver age application was 200 pounds of Chiiean nitrate per acre, applied about *5 days after planting. It is sometimes said that while the winners of crop-growing contests | make high acre yields, their ccst of j ar.it production is abnormally high. ' This is far from being the case.

Farm i evs Hardware Co, vvi'iAi k kSii mm DIB FOR HIS COUNTY The farmers of one county in Ten nessee are receiving SIOO,OOO addi tional annual income from new farm enterprises started since 1926 through the efforts of a "key banker" and the county agent, according to estimates from the Tennessee College of Agri culture. A "key banker" is a part of the state bankers' association voluntary f.eld force cooperating with the Ameri can Bankers Association in its nation wide pirn for bringing about better agricultural conditions through com bined banker-farmer effort. New pro jects started in this particular county are tobacco, Irish potato and cabbage production for cash crops, and daiij ing and poultry raising for livestock. The key banker, looking for some thing to do to better his community, iirst attempted to procure a county agent but wiis unable to get the county to make the necessary appropriation, so lie 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 1926 grain was the prin cipal farm production in the county. The banker recognised 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 was to introduce cash crops the., offered more return per acre and were better fitted to the county. It was de cided that the county, should stand ardize on the Green Mountain potato and to market it in carload lets. Through his bank he sponsored the buying of a car of certified see: potatoes. He likewise bought sorr.: high quality tobacco seed and several hundred settings of purebred eggs These supplies were distributed at ce ' through the banks to the formers. After considerable e.'ort a market for dairy products was assured the farmers when in I"2S a national cliecee company located a factory there. A county appropriation was secured for county agent work in 1925. In 1929 the cash crop program re sulted in farmers selling 543,000 worth of milk/ $150,000 worth of tobacco afcd hfty-fivo carloads of potatoes and cab bage, mostly through cooperative sales. "This was some step from the §25.000 worth of cash crops in 19.26," the county agent says, "and indication? Ire that this amount will be doubled." BANKERS FAVOR GRADUAL CHANGE National Commission Believed Local Sentiment Should Gov ern Evolution in Methods of Conducting Banking. ¥F substantial changes are to be * brought about in branch banking in the United States they should origi nate within the states rather than from Washington on inter-state lines as proposed in "trade area" branch banking plans, a recent report of the Economic Policj Commission of the American Bankers Association de clares. Such changes, it adds, "should develop by evolutionary rather than revolutionary stages." "The extension of branch banking through state action would mean that states not now permitting state banks to have branches or else closely re stricting them, would individually lib eralize their laws as an expression of changing local desires and conditious, and this doubtless would insure a de liberate, evolutionary process," the re port says. "The other method, that is, through Federal action, would mean a sweeping change for the country as a whole, for legislation granting branch banking powers to national 'banks ?u all st.ues, regardless'ot local sentiment, won".l, i! course, induce equivalent branch b:..iking enactments in every lilr.te in the Union not new permitting cr really wanting state banks to have brandies, in order to keep tlieiu 011 ai competitive equality. Upholds Zizto rrlvllcgjs "Tv'o find j;c:r.c linkers who fee" that a pvop-r to the develop ment of ' branch banking would be given by liio Federal Government tak the initiative through granting broader privileges within state line:, to national bank.j tii-.n tney nov/ en joy. It is argued that state govern mints could then follow suit as to oan. s and iiu.t in t.i.s way «. more progressive branch banking a. titude might be promoted by the na tional banks taking the lead. Whik we. do not deny that there may be some merit in this view as to some specific localities, wo firm never theless on the principle that no suci grant of powers to national bank:; should cross stata lines, or exceed the privileges that legislatures couk" and would grant to their state banks "Moreover we believe that if the choice between these two possible courses of extending branch banking j were put up to bankers they wouk. j be generally opposed to any forcible j imposition of branch banking on the j states through the medium of the na tional bank system. We believe il would be preferable for any change to come about through, the more grad ual and democratic method of the states granting their banks branch banking powers state by statt where, it', and as local conditions and senti ment might be ready for a change."
