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

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

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.
