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 this pur pose than War Bonds of the United States. In addition to laying aside pres ent easily obtained money to use when its purchasing power has in creased, there are several other reasons why farmers should buy and keep War Bonds. Reserve for Needed Replace ments and Improvements. Every farmer knows that his machinery and equipment gradu r wear out uring this and become obsolete. time when new machinery and equipment is difficult to obtain, he should lay aside funds with which to replace this equipment when it becomes more readily available following the war. Prevent inflation. This war is costing twice as much per year as ■ • cost - of - World * - war I. To the total the extent that the Government can borrow this required money from individuals out of savings or funds that otherwise would be available for living, inflation will be averted. That is why the Gov ernment is much more interested OREGON AAA HANDBOOK TO BE READY SOON Two AAA officials from Washing ton, George Weaver, range specialist, and Tom Joyce, in charge of program development, came to Ore gon the first week in August to work with state officials in preparing the Oregon handbook on the 1945 agricul tural conservation program. As soon as this handbook is pre pared it will enable Oregon farmers to plan their programs for next year in line with prospective national de 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 not 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. Safe investment. As a rule the aying off of the “mortgage” is a armer’s best investment. During the war years, however, many farmers have accomplished this, and are now seeking a safe invest- No invest ment for extra casi ment is safer than the Bonds of our Government. Not only is this investment a safe one, but the re turns are attractive.

The detailed pro gram set out in the handbook will not become official until finally approved in Washington some time later, but past experience has shown that little or no change occurs after this stage, according to Oregon AAA officials. Willis Boegli. assistant in the state office, recently returned from Wash ington. where he helped formulate the practice program for next year. He says it is unchanged from this year for the most part, although a number of minor alterations and improve ments have been included.
