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.

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.
