It is extremely gest: Hying, therefore, for me to learn that as we start the new year, here in the ten states of the grain belt we hove 307 more state end savings banks than we had this time a year ago. With the single exception of Oklahoma, which lost twenty-six banks in the year, every state of the ten shows an increase, the gain being as follows: Miunrsota 70 Missouri 01 Illinois 413 Nebraska 40 Iowa 44 Wisemosoin 34 Evinerts 21 North Dakota 8 South Dakota 6 But the increase in the number Ito not the only thing; even more impor- tant is the fact that never before were these banke of ours so proeperous, never been in communication with the bank- ing department of each of the trn states named above, and from infor- mation furnished me direct by- these officials I learn that we have today in the 8,270 state and savings banks and trusisPoMnaotes of the grain belt juet P2,090,407,837.03 on deposit. Think what fiat means: More than two billion dollars put away by the thrifty citizen s of these' ten great state. ea savings for the rainy day that may come or for the ordinary daily trims - action of business. This, mind you, is the amount in the state and savings hanks and trust companies only; it dors not. ineltele a single rent of the vast fortune that is on depoeit in the national banks of these ten great at at Now, vt-hen found net what the to- tal deposit. were in these banks I set about to learn, if possible, what per- i centage of thi s fabulous fortune be- longs to the farmers. It Is an almost impossible task. There as no way of Lilting exactly. However, the esti• mates Of the Yttrium' state banking officials are of value* Here are It few: Wisoonsin—About 50 per cent. Iowa—Poesibly 73 per vent is depo- sits of active and retired farmers. Nebraska—Don't know, hut 1l large percentage is farmers' money. So the answers run; no estimate be- low 50 percent, one above 75 per cent. However, if we make the very reason- able aseumption that the vast amount of farmer's ..... ney 011 deposit in the various national banks in the state off- sets in large meanure the amount of nrban money on deposit in the various state and ?savings banks and trust companies, I think we ean very safely say that two-thirds to three-fourths of the vast amount I have named abort - is farmers' money. If we say two- thirds, we have a total of $1,387,045,- 223.30 as the farmers' money on deposit. Just think for a moment what this means. It means that each and every one of the farmers of the grain belt, in addition to an this money he halt give the instruction. One hundred end!
