It is said that in a multitude there is wisdom, and in the hope may be of some benefit to the state and add something perity of the whole country we suggest a plan by which the check the concentration of cities and retain it in the county general development of our in resources. First—we would take time enough from their bors to allow themselves to perly, even whether the lair doing it, or the manner in which doing it, will bring gain or estates. They have formed plodding thoughtlessly through allowing those who wear their hands and exercise the intellectual natures more, to share a share of the profits of their of the chief objects of the Patrons of Husbandry is to habit—to call the farmers, the families at stated times awaverlasting work, work, work them for a short period to form trouble, and in a friendly manner to meet with brothers friends, and in the kind spirit and improvement interchange experiences in that pursuit are interested. With proper and a little forethought they be rendered a place of pleasure both old and young, and conducted as to throw around rural occupations all those relics of which the greatest of poets have sung. By comparison it is the best modes of performing operations of the farm; the bread of grain to be sown; the best manner of plowing and various operations of the orchard yard; the kinds of fruit and thieof cultivation; the different brass and their several advantages—subjects of great interest to all agricultural pursuits, and they subjects may be discussed and in the Granges and be rendered benefit to all. From these they may turn their attention to more immediately bearing up tions of the farmers with others and the whole scope of the co operate against the country of the city may be considered.

It is said that in a multitude there is wisdom, and in the heat may be of some benefit to the state and add something perity of the whole country we suggest a plan by which we check the concentration of cities and retain it in the county general development of our resources. First—we would sit in each of the agricultural countryside the farmers unite together establish A FARMERS CO-OPERATIVE With a capital stock of from $250 000. all the stock to be superseded by the farmers themselves, in sum and upwards, according to ability are but few farmers who cannot in a cause like this, and if the subscriptions should be $200 it require 500 farmers to become stable to give the bank a capital of while 1,000 subscribers will in sum to $200,000. and this will not respectable amount for a county This bank should be made the bank of deposit for all the farm county, and these deposits it is to estimate would average $200 would give the bank a working $400,000. These banks should their depositors a small interest its for say 30 days or more owned by the farmers themselves controlled in their own interests interest of the county Under control and connected with the bank be erected a warehouse, to be receiving, shipping and distributing In addition to the ordinary business such as deposits, loaning the farmers, mechanics and man and drawing checks, etc., a bank laid and prepared with such should be made the commercial commission house of the farmer county for the purchase of sacks natural implements and machines
Practical Suggestions.
FARMERS' BANKS AND WAREHOUSES.
In a late number of the Record we reviewed the causes which have of late years, in all countries been operating to bring population and business and wealth on the country and concentrate them in cities. We now propose to call attention to a movement, which, if properly judiciously managed, may be made medium by which this depopulation of agricultural districts, and the overwading of the cities may be checked, and natural equilibrium of business and property and capital be restored. We aim to the great movement of the farmers—the organization of the Patrons of landry, and the concentration of their business into the hands of monetary and commercial agencies. As intimated in our earlier article, one of the principal reasons so many young people become tired of country life is the want of social recreation and enjoyment in the country. Farms devote themselves too closely to labor from early morning to late in evening, day in and day out, from one of the year to the other. They do not time enough from their physical labor to allow themselves to consider problems, even whether the labor they are doing, or the manner in which they are doing it, will bring gain or loss to their and all other necessaries that may be derailed through it, in quantity or wholly, and thus through this medium all business of the farmers may be done directly with manufacturers and wholesale dealers and the profits that now go to the retail and middlemen would thus be saved by the farmers themselves. For what commissions the bank may be authorized to charge will go to the stockholders farmers themselves—in the shape of denda.
CENTRAL BANK.
The several county banks being established we would suggest the establishment at San Francisco of a central cooperative farmers' bank, of from some $1,000,000, a larger proportion of it to be owned and controlled by the county banks and the balance by farmers of the entire State in small for the transaction of all business out of the State, such as drawing bills change on the Atlantic States and foreign countries, importing sacks, agriculture implements, etc., and for shipping wool, wine, cotton and other agricultural products. This central bank should be the commercial agent of all the banks, and should receive, aggregate execute their orders the same as the banks receive, aggregate and deliver to the central banks the orders of individual farmers.
LOCAL WAREHOUSES.
In connection with the local banks each county and under the same ownership and management we suggest the building of warehouses they may be found necessary for the age of grain in bulk or in sacks at points as will best accommodate them.
As intimated in our earlier article, one of the principal reasons so many young people become tired of country life is the want of social recreation and enjoyment in the country. Farms devote themselves too closely to labor from early morning to late in evening, day in and day out, from one of the year to the other. They do not time enough from their physical lair to allow themselves to consider property, even whether the labor they are doing, or the manner in which they are doing it, will bring gain or loss to their lives. They have formed a habit of spending thoughtlessly through the year, allowing those who work less with their hands and exercise their social and intellectual natures more, to reap too great care of the profits of their labor. One of the chief objects of the Order of the sons of Husbandry is to correct this—to call the farmers, their wives and spouses at stated times away from their pasting work, work, work, and induce them for a short period to forget care and trouble, and in a friendly and social manners to meet with brothers, sisters and friends, and in the kind spirit of emulation improvement interchange views and sciences in that pursuit in which all interested, With proper management little forethought the Grange may tendered a place of pleasant resort to old and young, and may be so conceived as to throw around the different occupations all those real attractions which the greatest of poets in all ages usung. By comparison of notes as to best modes of performing the various variations of the farm; the best varieties in to be sown; the best time and the manner of plowing and sowing; the most operations of the orchard and vineyard; the kinds of fruit and the best modes of cultivation; the different breeds of stock their several advantages—all these are sorts of great interest to all engaged in cultural pursuits, and they and kindred acts may be discussed and illustrated by Granges and be rendered of great interest to all. From these the Granges return their attention to other subjects immediately bearing upon the relation of the farmers with other pursuits—the whole scope of the causes which lie against the country and in favor of city may be considered in detail.
A SUGGESTION.
I said that in a multitude of councils wisdom, and in the hope that we see of some benefit to the farmers of state and add something to the prosession of the whole country we venture to hast a plan by which the farmers can increase the concentration of capital in the land retain it in the country for the final development of our industries and trades. First—we would suggest that much of the agricultural counties of the
LOCAL WAREHOUSES.
In connection with the local bank each county and under the same ownership and management we suggest the building of warehouses they may be found necessary for the age of grain in bulk or in sacks as points as will best accommodate the needs of the county. Whenever possible these to be on navigable waters. In connection with the central banks building of general warehouses points on deep water as will best modulate the different sections of the ADVANTAGES.
From such a system of co-operative banking and warehousing the following prominent benefits, among others, shall be secured to the farmers:
1st. The purchase of sacks for wool, potatoes, cabbage, and all other agricultural products handled in sacks first cost necessary freight and customs added, saving all profits of men and retailers—the purchase importation of agricultural implements direct from the manufacturers, with saving or the manufacture of all in own State, thus creating a home market for our agricultural products, and giving general stimulus to all classes of industry. All these articles imported might be delivered directly by rail or water to local banks through which the orders received by the central bank.
2d. The storing of grain; wool; wine all other agricultural products in warehouses of the farmers, with necessities thereon to enable the owner hold for a remunerative price, and final sale through the medium of banks, direct to the consumers, in wherever there may at the time be greatest demand, and the best offered.
3d. The aggregation of so much business in the hands of an organization working through a single medium, will enable the farmer to secure both land and ocean freights upon very low terms the capital invested in such business can perform such services. The carry business, both to and from the farm inland, could be so regulated as to away, in a great measure, with the necessity of railroad cars being run high half-loaded either way, and on the other be arranged so that ships would not under the necessity of making voyages in basalt as now, in pursuit of business and thus the actual cost of conducting commerce, both inland and at sea, would be reduced materially, and this would in turn accumulate in the profits of the producers, and would indicate benefit for consumers of our products throughout the world.
4th. Such an organization of farmers of California would give them access to world over, command all necessary capital for any legitimate business projects at the lowest rates of interest granted by the largest capitalists to those responsible and favored borrowers.
5th. The system would present a medium of cooperation, not only as between the producers and consumers of agricultural products, and as between all manufacturers and dealers.
A SUGGESTION.
It is said that in a multitude of councils wisdom, and in the hope that we can of some benefit to the farmers of state and add something to the prosperity of the whole country we venture to just a plan by which the farmers can increase the concentration of capital in the land and retain it in the country for the final development of our industries and prices. First—we would suggest that each of the agricultural counties of the farmers unite together and es
FARMERS CO-OPERATIVE BANK.
A capital stock of from $100,000 to 200, all the stock to be subscribed by farmers themselves, in sums of $100 towards, according to ability. There are few farmers who cannot spare $100 use like this, and if the average of options should be $200 it will only 500 farmers to become stockholders in the bank a capital of $100,000, 1,000 subscribers will increase that $200,000, and this will make a very stable amount for a country bank. The bank should be made the general deposit for all the farmers of the county and these deposits it is reasonable that would average $200,000, which give the bank a working capital of 200. These banks should pay to depositors a small interest on deposits say 30 days or more, and being by the farmers themselves, will be used in their own interests and in the county under the same and connected with the bank should set a warehouse, to be used as a big, shipping and distributing house to the ordinary banking business such as deposits, loaning money to farmers, mechanics and manufacturers, swing checks, etc., a bank so organized and prepared with such facilities that made the commercial agent and session house of the farmers of the city for the purchase of sacks, agricultural implements and machines, and any commerce, both inland and at sea, would in turn accumulate in the profits of the producers, and would individually benefit the consumers of our products throughout the world.
4th. Such an organization of farmers of California would give them access to the world over, command all necessary capital for any legitimate business purposes at the lowest rates of interest granted by the largest capitalists to the most responsible and favored borrowers.
5th. The system would present a medium of co-operation, not only as between the producers and consumers of agriculture products, and as between all manufacturers and the farmers—the consumers of the manufactured articles, but it would constitute a medium through which the demand for a money circulating medium could be completely and harmonious regulated as between the different localities in the State. To illustrate: the counties of Sonoma, Napa, Batte, and some other counties have good crops this season whilst those of Stanislaus and other counties in the San Joaquin Valley are deficient. Money will then be plentiful the former and scarce in the latter through the medium of the central bank; it may be drawn from the local banks of the former counties and loaned out good security through the banks of latter, and then all would be accommodated and the producing capacity of all kept up.
6th. By this system the money accumulation and banking systems of the state would be changed, and instead of the capital of the State being locked up in vanits of the few in the large cities to be used in stock jobbing, speculations, as for the oppression of the producing industries, retarding the legitimate development of the best resources of the State—the capital will be distributed in the country and directed to agricultural improvement, such as immediate production and improvement of farms—to irrigation and reclamation, canals, etc., etc., and to the development and utilization of water power, building up home manufactures, and thriving inland towns and cities.
7th. Such a system combining pecuniary interests and moral and political power of the state in one grand scheme of practical co-operation for the general good will command respect and consideration everywhere, and should it become necessary to use their power, will give to the agrulturist the control of every department of the State Government.—Nacramanto Record.
