BONDS----- ----------------------------- The war bond sale in Sherman county is clow. Oondrtiona are much more at fault than people. The men who solicit for bond sales here are farmers and, as such, are very busy at thia t'me of year. We did not chooae the time of year. That was chosen by the nec essity of getting some more bonds sold • There is an invasion going on in Europe; there are battles on sea ¿.nd land over the Pacific. In all of these our troops and navy ia do ing well. The navy and merchant marine cross the choppy English channel every day whether it be placid or dangerous. The army battles up the (peninsula toward Cherbourg regardless of enemy Are, rain or any of the many other unfortunate conditions. We in Sherman county are go ing to exceed our quota of bonds No one of us expects to do lea*. A great major'ty are willing to crtend tremaelves to reach • that goal. It is only the minority who would rather hoard dollar» than put them to god use There are few of us who consider money as a goal in itself; to most it » a mean to an end, a means of do ing some good foe ourselves, our families, our country. Our quota is larger than ever before- That s true of the state ^nd of the nation. The quota of r t i who are being sent into bat tle is also larger than before and the demand on them is so much g ’ e a te r than on us that .t cannot be compared. When these boyi come back wc will want to be able to face them with a clear conscience, with the knowledge that we did not fa 1 in our small part when they succeeded in^heir larger part of the victory.

W AR BONDS jS^WfTH WAR BUNDS Buy War Bonds TODA V Agricultural Prices, Farm Indebtedness, Purchase of Bonds b y W. Preston Thomas D ept. of Agr'.culturfd Economics Utah State Agricultural College, Logan, Utah following World War I farmers bid up the price I of MMEDIATELY land to a point where most of the purchasers either lost all of their^ farm equity or it took a lifetime to pay off the mortgage with lbw priced farm products. During this period of high prices will the farm ers of, America bid up the price of land and obligate themselves with a heavy debt load as they did in 1918 to 18209 WiU they remember the Indebtedness they incurred during World War I and how they were forced to carry this burden during a period of 20 years when agricultural prices were f de pressed? High prices and a post war depression were new experi ences for the farmers during and following Wor|d War I. Most of American farmers operating today have experienced both high and low agricultural prices. Will these experiences be remembered and will they plan their economic pro gram more wisely during this pe riod of high prices than was the case from 1914 to 1920? . Economic Program for Farmers With the present outlook for con tinued heavy expenditures by tho federal government for war pur poses and a reduced amount of civilian goods, indications for the immediate future are for continu ing good prices, » However, with the closing of the war and a re duction of government expendi tures and an adjustment in agri culture and industry back to p: duction largely flor civilian there will most likely come a re duction in prices. The exact time or extent of the reduction can not be predicted. ' j*,.. During the early phases of ma jor wars, farmers should expand production to the lim it However, there comes a time because of uncertainties as to duration of the war and the fact that prices will fall during the post-war period. when the individual should not ex pand on long time credit which requires many years to liquidate. Now is a good time for farmers to increase production for a year at a time or shorter periods by intensive use of available re sources. It is a tirre which calls for caution concerning long-time commitments, especially for pur chase of high-priced land, breed ing stock, or equipment. During the period^/ high prices the wise farmer will pay off his indebtedness and buy United States Bends. During the post war period there is likely to be a depreciation in land, livestock, and other,farm values «s weH az re duced prices received for agricul tural products. On the other hand the United States Government is guarantying the value, with in terest, on the E Series of federal Bonds. ITie dollar Invested in Bonds now when prices are high will be returned with interest with out depreciation and at a time when the value of other commodi ties may be low. The value or purchasing power of the dollar in vested in Bonds will be greatly Increased when other prices are reduced or when an adjustment is made from a war to a peacetime economy. The farmer who is wise ly planning his war and post-war economic program will have funds for use to improve the farm and the farm home during the post war period. Such improvements might Include the home, other farm buildings, fences, irrigation and drainage facilities, and the purchase of new equipment for the home and the farm The present economic program for farmers should be to produce to the limit, get out of debt buy government Bonds, and make plans to improve the home and the farm for satis factory living and for economic production during the post-war pe riod. 17.
