We hope many of our farmers are starting bank accounts now that money for the year's crops is coming in. A man is more likely to save his money if he has started putting his surplus in a bank; and it is a great con venience to be able to make pay ments by check. When you pay a bill with cash you may have no record of its payment; but a returned check with the payee' endorsement on the back con stitutes a good receipt. Not al formers who have started bank accounts however, are as care ful as they should be in writing checks. We have just received a check on subscription written in lead pencil. No check should ever be written in pencil. must frequently pass throug several hands before reaching the bank, and if written in pen cil, it is easy for the amount be raised.
