i BANKERS REPORT
1 DROP IN SAVINGS
j Lure of Stock Market Partly to
j Blame, but Slackened Speculation
Expected to Bring Return
j to Thrift.
[ The firm recession In the natou's
I saving# account Jo hank* in twenty
years duriug which records in this
j held have been kept by the American
| Uuukera Afinociatlon was disclossil fox
.la,,t In Ihe recent annual complla|tlon
prepared by Its Saving Jlank
Division. The shrinkage amounted to
| over $195,000,000, on /the baslH of flg,
ures for the year ending June 29, 1929,
j whereas a year earlier the reported In
, crease was over $2,300,000,000. the
I largest ever .recorded. The number
l of savings depositors also decreased
during the year covered by more than
! &00.000 accouuts. The lure of the
stock market aud affiliated activities
are cited as part of the explanation
for these changes.
The association's statement says
that Bavlngs deposits In banks and
trust companies of continental United
.States on June 29. 1929, stood at $28,217,656,000.
The recession in savings,
It declares, Indicates a fundamental
change In the snvings situation. Irrespective
of whether It Is temporary or
not. .
How Savings Used to Grow
"Ih 1926 savings deposits Increased
$1,562,000,000, In 1927, almost $1,400,000.000
and In 1928 over $2,300,000,000,"
It says. "It appears now that
some Influences In ane year have taken
the gain that might reasonably have
been expected In savings deposits for
1929 and lowered them from the high
mark of the preceding year. This recession
Is not one coming ea a result
.Of drouth, famine, unemployment or
conditions outside of the United
States.
! "A year ago it was stated: 'The year
closing June 30. 1928, registered the
largest gain In savings deposits in
banks and trust companies of continental
United States ever recorded
In the history of this country.* What
a difference one year makes! From
a gain of more than 2% billions of dollars
In savings deposits to a loss of almost
200 millions!
"The loss In savings deposits Is reflected
also In the loss of savings dej
posltors. The year 1929 showed a to,
tal of 52,664,127 depositors, against
63,188,348 for 1928, a loss of 524,221.
I Industrial production was much
higher last year than the preceding
year. Factory payrolls were consld,
erably greater. In production, employment
and trade, advances were
made over the preceding year. In the
, farm areas the Improvement noted for
1928 did not recede In 1929 and the
livestock Industry In all Its branches
! was prosperous.
The Caiises of the Drop
i "The causes of the recession are
possibly multiple. There Is scarcely
any reason to doubt that one of the
Important factors draining away savings
and decreasing depositors has
j been the lure of profits to be made In
j stocks. For a number of years the
people have been regaled with stories
of profits made in stocks in all types
of companies. During the last few
years there has been a specious philosophy
preached that panics such as
formerly occurred were no longer possible.
"It it was the lure ef profits in
stocks which caused the recession la
savings, then a factor in future savings
will be the success attendant
upon this venture of savings depositors
in stocks. If the experiment did
i not prove generally successful, then
another year will doubtless witness
an Increase in savings deposits as well
as In savings depositors."

! Cows, Hogs, Hens
Pay Fairfield Farmer
| Winnsboro, March 17.?A clear
profit of $(W>0 in 1021), plus seven
heifer calves raised, from eight
cows, was made by Jim Bolick, a
Fairfield county farmer, at Blairs,
after paying all feed costs, says H.
H. Lemmon, county farm agent, who
gives Mr. Holick's experience as an
example of u reason why many souri
cream shippers in the county are
j sticking to their Vows, notwithstaruU
ing the low price being paid for
j huttcrfat.
Mr. Bolick has also demonstrate'.!
I that by feeding skimiuilk he can get
a 50 per cent egg production from
! his, hens without uny othor feed ex:
dept corn. This is utilizing skim'
milk to good advantage for it re.
duces the costs of poultry feed by
! eliminating expensive laying rnaah.
Mr. Holick is a ureal believer, says
the county agent in grazing crop*
lor his cows, which are now and have
been fur some time, grazing at inV
tervals on rye and barley. Velvet
bean seed ordered through the county
^igcnt will plant a supplementary feed
crop for the cows.
The .Holick tanning program is a
good illustration of the cow, hog, hen
trio, and has proved so successful
. in his case that he now says he doesn't
see how he could got along at
all without the income from something
other than cotton.

An Unpleasant Subject
All of the functions of life are not
pleasunt to consider. Perhaps this is
! why some mothers refuse to think
, that such symptoms as restless sleep,
. loss of flesh, luck of appetite or itching
nose and fingers in their children,
1 can be caused by round or pin wormfl.
. Many mothers have proven, however,
that a few doses of White's Cream
Vermifuge, that sure and harmless
s worm expellant, will make these
. symptoms disappear. You can get
White's Cream Vermifuge for 35
cents per bottle from DeKalb Phar3
