Bankers Aid Dairy Exposition Effort Across Minnesota
Minnesota Bankers Association members were urged by the agricultural committee chairman to help recruit county committees for attending the Northwest Dairy Exposition in September. The Atlanta Clearing House promotes a nationwide boll weevil war with banks sending letters to Iowa bankers to back poison-weed efforts on larger farms, while smaller farms see limited impact. State surveys show boll weevil infestation rising, threatening crops if unchecked. Over two hundred bankers in Iowa arranged to pair with Iowa State University for extended study of farming problems, with bankers hosting students to probe agricultural subjects of mutual interest. County bankers in South Carolina and other regions pledged support for enhanced agricultural programs focusing on eradication and farm protection.

Scientists say it is no less than 13,000 years old with a breast-high diameter of seven feet six inches and a height of 42 feet.
