Funs Requested; Stock Market Reaches New Low; Farmers Ask Tax Relief; Public Employees Unpaid; Congress Debates Farm Relief Measures; Moratorium Declared on Farm Foreclosure Sayes Prof. Blanche announcements says that such carried a special and personal meaning to thousands of farm families. An individual or a family can do little to prevent a recurrence of such conditions when they do occur and the foresight of financial planning now tremendous may return profits in a few years. history xf Utah Prof. Blanch mentions a former prosperous year of 1928 when the per farm income was $2417, and compares that with 1932 income of only $970 per farm, adding that the 1928 level was not reached again until 1943. During the intervening years the financial problems of many Utah farmers were truly great, he says, and hundreds of farms were foreclosed and other hundreds sold for delinquent taxes. The situation became so bad that a moratorium was declared on mortgage foreclosures. In several counties 1934 tax delinquencies amounted to more than 40 per cent and in one county reached 56 per cent. In somo communities essentially all the families were on relief, he says: Contrasting present farm prosperity he states that the Utah cash farm income for 1946 was $4924 per farm, and predicts 1947 total income averaging $5851 per farm, or much more money received per family than at any previous time. Tracing the farm income, To avoid many of the tragic consequences of the reduced farm income in past periods and to meet future emergencies wisely, Prof. Blanch offers a financial program: If in debt, get out as quickly as possible; be cautious and conservative about investing in land or other fixed assets at present high prices; buy only those things that are necessary; store up dollars now, saving them for increased purchasing power; create reserves by investing in U. S. Savings Bonds, the best form in which to carry reserves to meet any future need; plan now for future spending of present sursix-poi- nt all-arou- nd pluses. Such a financial program is not only for the individual farm family, but it is also patriotic in that it will tend to good take away the inflationary pressure of today and will reserve that spending for a time when it to will be needed keep our Otherwise we economy healthy. can look forward to another period cf relief, unemployment, and goernment make-wor- k programs.
