; Readers of this column are already
! asking me what effect the Invasion
will have on the prices of stocks,
commodities and real estate. Frankly.
I it is too early to tell what will hap
pen.
The Allies appear headed for
Paris and this city may be captured
i by the time this gets into prin. Thi
i early full ot Paris is essential to the
Allied psychological phase.
It may
be the signal for the underground
Continental army, estimated at 12,-
000,000 to begin action.
The Allies must also secure, almost
immediately, a number of good ports.
Undoubtedly these will be Le Havre
and Cherbourg and Brest.
These
ports have excellent facilities and
were used by the Americans in World
War I. Hence, our men are famil
iar with them.
After certain beach-
i heads are secured, It will be neces
sary to spend many weeks in getting
supplies and men ashore before the
real Berlin drive can be started. Of
1 course, the Germans may b.e willing
to easily give up Paris with the idea
of saving their strength for resisting
Allied occupation of the German
Fatherland.

RATION BOOK REMINDER
Wiiy ;i l ’armer Should
Buy and K<»ep W ar Bonds
by Gabriel I.umly
11 r<ul. Dept, of Agricultural Economici
Sonili Dakota State College
IJATRIOTISM, w illin g n e s s to
* combat harmful inflation, and
desire to build up a reserve of
post-war buying power will irnpe 1
the farmer r to buy and keep wai
ar
Bonds.
Farmer loyalty will express it
self not only in maximum produc
tion of necessary food and fiber
for the winning o f the war. Farm
er loyalty will also express itself
in the equally necessary and pa
triotic duty to invest cash with
which the government can pur
chase both food and war equip
ment. Fortunately farmers are
receiving higher prices and larger
incomes. This has enabled many
of them to reduce old debts to
manageable amounts or to acquire
surplus cash for Bond purchases.
A sense of responsibility toward
the need of the nation for funds
with which to carry on the war
will urge farmers to purchase War
Bonds to the limit of their re
sources.
Both direct self-interest and pa
triotism dictate the purchase of
Bonds as a means to prevent in
flation. During all our large wars
we have had high war prices fol
lowed by very low prices and de
pression some years later. During
World War I many farmers and
others unwisely used the enlarged
income to bid upw the prices of
farm land. As a result the farm
mortgage debt was more than dou
bled. Then when post-war prices
dropped very low many farmers
became unable to pay, and lost
their farms through foreclosure.
A repetition of this calamity ean
be avoided by investing in War
Bonds instead of buying land at
inflated prices and on credit.
The danger of inflation, however,
is not limited to land. It is also
important not to bid up the prices
of other things. Price inflation and
price collapse in every line are
harmful. Such harm can be avoid
ed by diverting surplus funds
away from the markets for scarce
commodities and into War Bonds.
Financing the war by means of
heavier taxes would be more^ anti-
inflationary, but since Congress
has decided in favor of Bonds it is
our duty and privilege to invest
in War Bonds.
Good farm management and
self-interest as well as patriotism
will urge the farmer to buy and
keep War Bonds. If prices fall
after this war as they did after
our other large wars, the farmer
with a reserve in Bonds will be in
an ideal economic position. Farm
buildings and machinery are wear
ing out faster during the present
war period than during normal
times due to difficulties in obtain
ing needed material and labor for
repairs and replacements. Farm
ers should now be putting money
in Bonds to cover these costs.
About 10 percent of the total ma
chinery investment and about 4
percent of the total farm building
investment should be saved each
year to cover wear and deprecia
tion. With lower prices, farm
equipment, new buildings and new
furniture and household equipment
will be at the farm er’s disposal
for less money after the War than
now.
Furthermore, if he holds his
Bonds until maturity, his mon
ey will he increased by one-
fourth. With more money and
lower prices, the Bond-invest
ing farmer will then have cash
to make his farm work easier
and more productive. Ilis mon
ey, will also yield him more in
home comforts, education for
the children, or in the pur
chase of a farm lor the son.
The danger of war-induced in
flation docs not end with the actual
fighting. Post-war inflation is fully
as threatening. Large-scale con
version of Bonds into cash for the
purchase of articles, commodities,
etc., before industry has had time
tb convert fully to peace-time pro
duction, will be undesirable. By
holding his Bonds longer, the farm
er or other Bond-holder will con
tribute to the elimination of both
a wild ‘ ‘ boom” and a subsequent
depression.
Agriculture and industry are in
timately interrelated and inter
dependent. The government is now
industry’ s big customer. After the
war, farmers will be big buyers of
industrial products. If the accu
mulated purchasing power is re
leased gradually, and if income is
widely distributed, industry can
furnish full and continuous em
ployment. In turn this will give
farmers a profitable market for
their products. Thus, both patri
otism and far-sighted self-interest
will induce farmers and others to
buy and keep their War Bonds
until after peace is achieved.
