Why a Farmer Should
Buy and Keep War Bonds
by Mark T. Buchanan
J ding Chairman, Division of Farm Management and
Agricultural Economics
Slate College of Washington, Pullman, Washington
, ".t.'.rTNG the e-rly stages of an
y inflationary period a farmer
':orld trlk like a pessimist and
act like r.:i opan-ici; He should
c;:'.:-::d hiiv.colf by moans of credit
;ind take advantage of the rising
price riluation.
During the latter part of an in
flationary period he should talk
like an optimist and act like a
pessimist. He should liquidate his
debt and put as many inflationary
dollars as possible into a fixed
investment. No fixed investment
is more satisfactory for th;s pur
ree than War Bonds of the United
Staijs.

Prevent InXL'.iioa. This war is
costing twice as inueh per year as
the total ccct of World Var I. To
the extent tl at tho Government
can borrow this required money
i.om individual out of savings or
funds that otherwise would be
nTii':ible for living, inflation will
he averted. That is why the Gov
0Tv,rvient is much more interested
in selling Bonds to Individuals
than in selling them to banks.
Protection. This country and the
war effort have been blessed with
six successive years of phenome
nal crop yields and agricultural
production. If a penny is tossed
six times and comes up heads
every time, the probability of the
seventh toss is still 50-50, heads
and tails. Although the succes
sion of good crop years does
net necessarily portend crop fail
ure to come, nevertheless crop
failure is always something that
should be considered possible.
Money invested in War Bonds will
provide protection for living ex
penses and capital during the dif
ficult years. t
Safe Investment.- As a rule the
paying o:f of the ''mortgage" is a
farmer's best investment. Durirg
the war years, however, mar.y
farmers have accomplished this,
ar.d are now scckir.g a safe invest
ment for extra cash. No invest
ment is safer than the Eond of
our Government. Not only is litis
investment a -safe one, but the re
turns are attractive.. Series E
Bonds held for 10 years return in
terest of 2.9 per cent, conmounded
annually in 10 years $4.00 for
each $3.00 put in.
Patriotic Motive, Not to be for
gotten is the fact that this war
must be won. Farmers have mere
sons and daughters in the service
per family than any other group
of our population. We must pro
vide them with the pbnes, tanks,
guns, ships, ar.d other materials
necessary to speed their return
home. ,.,
