bankers Say They Lend More
, Money on Property When
Buildings Are Well Painted.
AN ' INDICATION OF THRIFT.
One Concern Advances 25 Per Cent
I Mere If Repainting Is Done -
Every five Years.
V Doee ft pay to paint carefully farm
fenUdlngst Dors It add to the selling
value of a farm when buildings are
properly kept up and regularly paint-
i dt A careful Inquiry of a number of
leading bankers to the Mississippi val
ley, Including such states as Iowa, Illi
nois, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Mis-
curl, reveals the fact that In nearly
every case the bankers did not hesi
tate to say that they would lend all the
way from 5 to CO per cent, more on
land where farm buildings were well
painted and kept In good condition.
They maintain that well kept-up and
(well painted buildings and fences are
'a Indication of thrift and that the
tbrlfty farmer Is a good client, and to
him money can be safely loaned. An
average of the returns from these
bankers shows that the Increased loan
value because of painted buildings Is
rjpund 22 per cent. i
T Some of these bankers make Inter
etlng comment A Michigan concern
aays that, while not especially pre
pared to advise definitely In response
to this Inquiry, the officers would loan
' more money on farms where buildings
were painted than where they were
not so treated. This bank also finds
that where houses, barns and fences
are well taken care of the farm Is a
profitable proposition, and bankers In
general consider the farmer a good
client Another Michigan bank says
. "farm buildings out of repair and
seeding paint Indicate that the owner
la slow pay." Such farms are rated" at
about one-third of the assessed value
f for loans. Where the farm buildings
are In good shape the rating Is one
fcall The president of a middle west
ern bank saya that when real estate
loans are considered, painted buildings
re always taken Into consideration In
making in estimate. The general ap
pearance of the property surrounding
the house and barn and also the fields
and fences would be carefully observ
d. He further sajs that he has no
hesitancy In saying tkut he would ab
solutely refuse a loao n farms where
. tte buildings were not kept up and
well painted. In his Judgment, un
palnted farm buildings would reduce
tte loan value at least 25 per cent; -r
A Minnesota banker says that he la
much .more willing . to loan money
where the buildings arc welt -painted,
' la bis particular case be believes that
be would loan 20 per cent more than
If the buildings were-, not properly
taken care of. A farmer who will
keep bis buildings painted takes , -a
much deeper Interest in bis work than
, one who .does not- , Another Minne
sota bank says that well painted build-
legs have resulted In securing from
bis bank sometimes as high as 25 per
i cent more money than where the
- buildings are not painted. An Ohio
concern aays that It will loan 23 per
cent more money on a well kept farm
where buildings are painted at least
once every five years.-. A southern II 1 1
vols bank says that It has no. fixed
rule about thjs, but It does make a de
cided difference when owners of farm
lands apply for loans. If the buildings
are well painted and thus well pre
served the loan rate would not only
be cheaper, but the amount of money
borrowed would be larger. A northern
Illinois bank docs not hesitate to say
that It would loan fully SO. per cent.
more on ,a farm where buildings were
well painted and In good order than
where tbey were not. - The vice presl
dent who answers the Inquiry, goes
on to say: "There probably are many
farmers good financially and morally
who permit their buildings to remain
vnpalnted, but as a rule the most sub
stantial people who live In the coun
try keep their buildings well painted."
An Iowa bank, through Its vice pres
ident, states that It would make a dif
ference of at least 23 per cent In fa
Tor of the farm with painted build
legs. Another Iowa concern says that
It would make a difference of at least
20 per cent
All this. being true. It Is perfectly
evident that It Is a good business prop
osition to keep the farm buildings well
Hinted. Tbey not only look better
and are more pleasing to the owner,
but the farm would sell to better ad
vantage, the loan value of the property
would be greatly Increased and the
buildings themselves would last much
longer and need less repair. The

r War'has disclosed -the weak-
nesses of the American trans-
portation system. ' It has shown
where the highway la needed to
supplement the railway, and
this need Is as great in Nebras-
ka as It Is elsewhere.
.The. fruits of peace are'going
to emphasize that weakness ev-
en more until the highway as a
necessary unit In transportation
Is finally taken Into full ac-
count. The stress of -war has
shown the latent possibilities of
the rural road as a retail trade
stabilizer, making traffic fossi-
ble every day In the year, as
a means of extending -buying
and selling tones, of stlmulat-
Ing Increased production by
making hauling quicker and
easier at Jess cost In time and
horse or gasoline power. War
has forced all of these facts in-
to the open. It has brought
about what may be termed a
zoning period, a period in which
we look about to see If we can-
not find wbat we need nearer
at hand In order to avoid delay
and unnecessary shipping coals.
In thus looking about for sup-
plies nearer at hand , we come
back to the old obstacle the
poorly maintained road.
The proper adjustment of the
road to the wheel means much
to every section of the United
States, bui to Nebraska as a
food producing state It means a
greaUdeal more. Real develop-
ment will follow legislative ac-
tion In creating a system of
main market roads.

-PAY PROCLAMATION
In. issuing the following- Arbor
Day proclamation Governor McKel-
le urges Nebraskana to plant trees
s memorials to the soldiers of the
World war, especially honoring the
many heroes of the atate.
"No day In the year means more
to the people of Nebraska in a ma
terial sense than Arbor day. This
grows out of the fact that the day
primarily suggests the necessity and
advantage of planting trees, thereby
adding beauty to the landscape and
value to the land, furnishing shade
for man and beast In. summer and
protection from the cold blasts of
winter winds. Over and above this,
the trees furnish a home and nest
ing place tor birds of all varieties.
These greet us In the morning and
evening, making the air vocal with
song. The chatter of the wren, the
song of blue bird, and robin, the
whistle of the bob white are a means
of inspiration to all and their pres
ence of untold value to the farmer,
the gardner and fruH raiser. Insects
of a thousand kinds prey on the
plants and blossoms until at times
our crops are destroyed or in a large
measure made less on account of
their depredations. Birds destroy
these by the millions and are, there
fore., the friends of mankind. These
should be encouraged and protected
and furnished with places for propa
gation. Trees supply most birds
with t is opportunity and, therefore,
we should plant andprotect trees,
not only on Arbor day but at all
proper seasons of the year. ' riant a
tree It will be there long arter you
have gone, a monument to your sin
cere desire to be a blessing to the
world.
"I would urge that schools, public
and private, and our state Institu
tions, as far as possible, take an in
terest in the day and organize for its
proper observance; that each family
plant at least' one tree. It may be
for fruit, shade or ornament, nut
plant and cultivate it, for It will be a
source of pleasure and profit In after
years.
