Many rimes, credit does more harm than good, even though it may be extended with the kindest of intentions. I-arge store bills, garage, feed, fertilicrr and machinery bills are sometimes easier

to create than they are to pay.

Is it not passible that this is particularly true o: fertilizer bills 5 In the spring everything looks bright, yet pay-das i> sure to follow in the fall. And have you ever figured what the cash discount amounts to—what interest you pay on your fertilizer bill? The best and cheapest way is to borrow the money from your bank at six per rent, and pay cash for the fertilizer. Certainly the bank will not lend every farmer all the money he may posribly nerd, but many who coulo borrow sufficient money for the pur-

chase of their fertilizer, buy on "time."

On the other hand, waiting until sufficient cash is saved up to purchase a needed farm machine, home convenience or possibly a home itself, is the other extreme from accepting too much credit. Again the bes. remedy is to use your bank. The bu»ine*s of every industry in the county is based on credit. It is no disgrace

Ixl your banker to a certain extent be the "governor” of your finances. If your bank ref uses to extend you further credit, it is an indication that you can well be careful how you accept very much credit elsewhere. But it your bank will loan you sufficient money to pay cash for fertilizer, feed, seed and machinery, which will go to make your farming more efficient, or fur conveniences to make your home more cofntortablr, then the bank must believe that you are a sa/e risk, and that your financial condition

There are a large number of Grangers in Cumberland am Cape May County, and no doubt there are many others who wouh be benefittrd by joining. In southern Cumberland County there i even room for more Granges. To a certain extent the Grange areto people in the rural sections what the Kiwanis, Rotan am other scisice organizations are to buuness men in the cities am towns.
