 for the backward or inert comnmnity to expect consid- 

 eration. TMs is not a matter that can be handled by 

 the Bankers' Association as a State-wide organization. 

 It is a problem for the individual bankers in each com- 

 munity to interest themselves in. As one of those citi-

 an obligation of social service, I believe the bankers of 

 Kentucky will not be backward in meeting and assum- 

 ing this responsibility, and rendering what service they 

 can to the material and educational spirit of their com- 

 munities and their fellow-citizens. 



It is to be earnestly hoped that the future history 

 of the uplift and rehabilitation of agriculture in Ken- 

 tucky will record the fact that the movement was initiated 

 and led by the bankers of Kentucky.
