NORTHWESTERN CELL TELEPHONE COMPANY Fat Fraaiom 't Sal*, Buy Mora War Bondi Agricultural Prices, Farm Indebtedness, Purchase of Bonds by W. Preston Thomas Dept, of Agricultural Economics Utah State Agricultural College, Logan, Utah IMMEDIATELY following World War I farmers bid up the price of land to a point where most of the purchasers either lost all of their farm equity or it took a lifetime to pay oft the mortgage with low 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 1920? Will 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 de pressed? High prices and a post war depression were new experi ences for the farmers during and following World 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 the 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 W'ar and a re duction of government expendi tures and an adjustment in agri culture and industry back to pro duction largely for civilian use, there will most likely come a re duction in prices. The exact time or extent of the reduction can not be predicted. During the early phases of ma jor wars, farmers should expand production to the limit. 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 time which calls for caution concerning long-time commitments, especially for pur chase of high-priced land, breed ing stock, or equipment. During the period of high prices the wise farmer will pay off his indebtedness and buy United States Bonds. During the post war period there Is likely to be a depreciation in land, livestock, and other farm values as well as 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. The 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 th'i post-war pe riod.

Rationing News From The District Office As the Army is using around 80% of Class “A” and “AA” beef, this will make supplies oif this class of high-graae steer beef very scarce in the retail butcher shops in the near future. Com mercial and utility grades of beef which are grass-fed cattle will be availabe in large quantities to re tail meat markets. This type of beef will have to be cooked by the housewife with the utmost of cooking preparation. Pressure cookers should be used, and swis sing, tenderizing and pounding flour into the meat will assist in making it tender. There will be no sacrifice in vitamins or pro teins to the user, only a little extra cooking, which will be a challenge to the housewife's in genuity. On September 1 Sugar Stamp No. 33 wil be good for five pounds of household sugar. The stamp has no validity date, and may be used at any time. The 5 lbs. of sugar in each ration book of each member of the family will have to last the user 11 weeks. Per sons who have not applied for their second half of canning sugar for 1944 should do so at once as no canning sugar wil be issued for the 1944 canning season after October 15. It is predicted that the point value of butter will be again in creased due to the decline in the amount of cream received at the creameries for the manufacture of butter. Cream deliveries to creameries show a 25 or 35% de cline over the same period in 1943. Farmers who are short of help have temporarily stopped separating, and are selling their whole milk, thus leaving a short er supply of cream from which to make butter. Bernard Hynes came Saturday from Vancouver, Wash., to spend a few weeks here visiting rela tives and friends. AMERICAN HEROES BY LEFF The machine gun chattered defiance of the Japs.
