BOND INVESTMENTS AND FARMER LOANS One wonders sometimes just what the ec°nomic life °f the country will be like when t his depression is over when the changes that are taking place every day are con sidered. Consolidations are taking place in nearly all busi nesses and hyphenated names that twist the tongue are coming .into daily use. Newspapers nowdays occasionally display head names that reach across the entire page; banks, always given to long names, now carry names that require a go°d long breath to» speak. It is customary to explain, this new movement by saying that we had business houses in sufficient puantity t® care for the speed of business since the war. H°wever, this explana tion dies not seem to be correct when it is observed that most of the firms that are consolidating are old firms that have been in business for a generation instead ¡of th<x cofrnpfaritively young post-war businesses. A large part of the consolidations have been in the bank ing business and is probably not caused by any fundamental change in the^business life of the country as much as it is caused by a temporary decrease in values. .At first the banks with a large part of their assets in farm loans were suffering from economic conditions but now the banks with b°nds are finding their investments decreasing to the danger p°int. For one in an agricultural community this is a sgn that after all farming is a safer business upon which to make Ioans than any other. These investment banks and trust companies that refused t° loan additional m°ney to farmers and instead bought foreign bonds find their money g°ne,w perhaps never to bei returned, while the farms and the farmers are still here, and are still a. fair investment. It is the old, story again bf loaning m°ney close to h°me where conditions are known and where the investment can be watched. % . -----------o---------- SOMETHING TO BOAST ABOUT In 1930 Sherman county people had a spendable income two and one third times as great as the average of the United States; While that income has decreased since that time the also decreasd. And we still have a greater number of dollars per capita to) spend average of the entire country has than have people in the remainder of thd country for the sim ple reason that proctically every head of a family in this coun ty is engaged- in some business for himself and labor is to a, great extent recruited from the floating population that lives here for only a few months each year. This is not to say that everyone is rich. A, major part of the money is spent in producing a crop of wheat’and practi cally all of the income comes from that source, but the fact rel mains that Sherman county people annually spend more money per year than does the average of the people of the United States. We hav^ a large number of automobiles, a large number of radios and other indices of prosperity.
