Why Farmers Should
Buy & Keep War Bonds v
by R. R. Renne
President
Montana State College
BUILDING financial reserves,
paying off debts, helping to
fight dangerous inflation, and pa
triotism, are all good reasons why
farmers should buy and hold War
Bonds.
A good financial reserve is an
important part of sound farm
management. War Bonds are safe
investments and are almost as
liquid as cash. Thus, they com
prise an excellent financial re
serve for unexpected needs and
emergencies. After the last war
prices fell rapidly, as they have
after every major war, and thou
sands of American farmers lost
their farms because they could not
weather the economic storm. No
other factor is more essential for
continued satisfactory farm opera
tions, through good years and bad,,
than adequate financial reserves.
In addition to unexpected needs
for emergencies, farmers need
adequate reserves to finance re
pairs, replacements and improve
ments around the farm. Difficul
ties in obtaining needed materials
and labor for these expenditures
cause farm buildings and equip
ment to wear out faster during
the war period than in peacetime.
If farmers can wait until some
time aiiov the war ends to make
thee repairs ar.d improvements,
their dollars should go farther than
the will immediately following
the war, and better quality ma
terials will probably be available.
Moreover, too rapid or forced
cashing of War Bonds immediate
ly after the war could create a
serious situation and contribute to
post-war inflation. Also, holding
Bonds to maturity makes it possi
ble for the farmer to increase his
investment by one-fourth through
accumulated interest. Still anoth
er reason for having a good re
serve in the form of War Bonds is
that funds will be available for
the boys when they return, to as
sist them in getting established in
peacetime pursuits.
Many farmers still have
lony-'.erm mortgage debt out

"I doubt if any of the several fires
in this county which have burned
into valuable grain and grasslands
were started intentionally," the
county leader pointed out. "In the
majority of cases these fires were
started when some smoker flipped
fir w
ty. Investment in War Bonds
now makes it possible for the
farmer to help finance the war
and at the same time accumu
late the funds which will en
able him to liquidate his debt
in a lump sum after the war
Systematic purchase of War
Bonds furnishes a very orderly
and sure way of accumulating
the necessary funds for liqui
dation of debt that requires
large lump sums for settle
ment. The extremely heavy expendi
tures required to carry on modern
total war creates high purchasing
power, which combined with short
ages of materials and labor, cause
serious inflationary threats. Most
farmers can remember the very
high prices which occurred during
the last war and the very low
prices and depression which fol
lowed. With the present scale of
operations much greater than dur
ing the first war, it is imperative
that widespread inflation in gener
al prices and in land be prevent
ed. Using surplus funds to pur
chase War Bonds helps reduce in
flationary pressure in commodity
markets and, at the same time,
helps finance the war.
Building financial reserves, pay
ing off debts and fighting inflation,
comprise adequate reasons for
buying War Bonds. However,
there is still another major reason
why farmers should invest in War
Bonds until it hurts and this is the
patriotic reason. We are engaged
in a very serious struggle to pre
serve democracy and our way of
life. The sooner we can win this
war the fewer lives of our sons
and daughters will be lost. Our
youth are making great sacrifices
on the battkfronts all over the
world, and it is up to each one of
us on the homefront to give all we
have. Large sums of money are
needed for winning the war and if
we will all buy War Bonds to the
limit of our resources voluntarily,
we can help finish the war at an
early date.

"With eastern Oregon drier thin
usual because of a shortage of rain
fall, the danger this summer' is
greater than ever,'' the Keep Ore
gon Green leader stated. "Man
power is equally short and much
needed in the harvest. Men can
not be spared ior fire lighting. One
carelessly started roadside fire last
month destroyed 20,003 acres oi
ripe grain and 10,000 acres of grass
lands. This is pure criminal care
lessness. "Alter the war, food will be crit

doubt be called upon to help feed

man and woman in this county do
his share to Keep Oregon Green."
