ASTERN BANKERS SEE HOPE OF WEST IN PROMISED BUMPER CROPS A good mule costs around is talking entirely Yat-Se- n Treasury Officials Are Inclined Optimistic View Following Long List of Failures in Last Six Months With the number of Washington. bank failures decreasing from month to month in the states west of the Mississippi river where stringent conditions obtained last winter, high treasury officials have expressed the belief that the reported bumper crop in many of those states had placed the financial institutions of those districts on their feet again. Treasury records show that 342 banks were forced to close their doors between January 1 and July 1. These include 267 state and 75 national institutions, and while a few more have gone out of business since, the records show that the failures in May were 30 per cent fewer than in April in states1 west of the Mississippi and 25 per cent less in June compared with May. Despite the long list of failures, the treasury believes that any tightening of credit that may come next winter will have little effect on the banks. They have been able to fortify themselves in various ways and are prepared to withstand any calls that may come to them, except, of course, in isolated cases where the strain may be too great. The Agricultural Credit corporation organized last spring at the direction of President Coolidge has been able to reopen some twenty of the banks that failed, and advices to the treasury indicate several score more in the northwestern states are now receiving aid which will enable then to weather" any new crisis. Most of the banks to which the corporation has extended and are small institutions and require only a small amount of money to put them on a firm foundation, officials declared. They explained that the corporation, therefore, would be able to help than was originalmany more banks ' ly expected. Commenting further on the reported big crops in many of the wheat declared growing sections, officials this meant that millions of dollars in credit extended to farmers would be liquidated or the loans reduced this fall, and paper which some of the banks had been forced to charge off as uncollectable, would now become obligations upon which the banks would realize. The treasurys figures on bank failures showing what is believed to be a nearly correct list of all failures west of the Mississippi river follows : Texas, 1 national bank and 7 state banks; Arkansas, none and 3; Minnesota, 3 and 26; Iowa, 1 and 29; Missouri, none and 8; North Dakota. 9 and 39; South Dakota, 12 and 54; Nebraska, 5 and 8; Kansas, 3 and 8; Montana, 12 and 28; Wyoming, 6 and 8; Colorado, 2 and 1; New Mexico, 10 and 7; Oklahoma, 6 and 32; Wash ington, 2 and 3; Oregon, none and 2; California, none and 1; Idaho, 2, and 1; Utah, 1 and 0; Nevada, none and none; Arizona, none and 1; Louisiana, none an done.
