Show Bankers Hold Farm Conference j A "feeders' conference" was held in a state bank at Presho, South Dakota, Da-kota, attended by fifty farmers. The conference stressed the feeding of low price wheat and barley, and marketing it through livestock. Later, booklets ' on the feeding of wheat were distributed distrib-uted among the farmers, and a feeders column was carried in the local paper each week. j "We have had more success with the conference and with the feeders column In the local paper, than with any other undertaking we have tried," the bankers said. "As a result there is about three times as much livestock being fed out in our territory than ever before. We plan to hold other similar conferences the coming year." |
