Show f i SOUTH CACHE COURIER - sion Director, announces. While the main job of these committees wil be to furnish local farming advice to returning veterans, the committees will work very closely with any groups that administer loans or other assistance programs for veterans, Director Owens points out. The committees are being set up at the request of the War Food Administration after discussion with Selective Service and other federal offices dealing with veterans. Agricultural agents in each county will be responsible for establishing the local committees, and will serve as liaison between the committees and local Selective Service boards and other groups. The committees will be composed very largely of EXTENSION SERVICE successful county farmers. In some SCHEDULES PROGRAM counties already organized committees will perform this function. tO AID WAR VETERANS In others, new groups will be orgThese groups will work anized.

Adams Professor of Farm Management University of California net farm Income now three times that of farmers and ranchers are In an outstandingly fine financial position to buy War Bonds to an extent far beyond the total-g-ood as it is already reached. In the first place, its the patriotic thing to do. Theres no real sacrifice in using money to back the attack. What is a loan of ones cash compared to the sacrifices of the boys who are taking on more than a man-size- d lob? Secondly, Its the wise thing to do. If history repeats itself and I for one firmly believe it will these present-da- y high net incomes can, after the war is over, go into a tail-spi- n to levels far below what is deemed normal. Over the past one hundred years agricultural earnings have been at normal levels for three to four years for each year of high returns. And note that these re- are net that sum remaining Sns farming expenses have been paid. Thus allowance is made for higher costs of labor, of supplies, of equipment, of taxes. , Without doubt present earnings of most farmers are the highest in the history of United States agriculture. . Todays high returns to agriculture make good reading. But with the increased earnings there is bound to be a marked rise in prices for farm properties, in speculative buying of farms, and (again if history repeats Itself) in a marked increase in the real estate mortgage debt, followed by mounting foreclosures if and when payments of interest and installments on principal cannot be met. WITH 1938-194- -- 50 OLD Exchange ed 9 Inch Size ing practices, and other problems, the director states. He also mentions that this program is in line with the type of service rendered all farmers in the the by county county agent, though special plans need to be made well in advance to be sure of giving war veterans and others every possible assistance. Contrary to the views held by some farmers, it is extremely doubtful that we are on a new and permanently higher economic level. World War I was proof of this. So the wise farmer, looking ahead and planning for his future, will reduce his debts to manageable proportions if and when lessened incomes must again be faced; resist the temptation to speculate in farm lands; and create reserves. The reference to resist speculating doesnt mean no buying. There may be need to enlarge a farm, or to acquire additional lands for business reasons. But caution suggests that one not be caught in the excitement of a rising tide of buying merely for speculations sake. That reserve fund can be created by purchase of Bonds. Money thus "salted away can create a cash reserve for use when times may not be so good. It will serve as an anchor to windward for times when cash is an asset. And when isnt it? Bonds can eventually be used for needed repairs or improvements. Bonds . can supply the stake to set 6ons up in business once they are mustered out of service. Agriculture is for the time being in a strong financial position. Farmers, these days, are in a position to accumulate substantial stockpiles of crops, livestock, and livestock commodities, but, as well, of good United States Bonds. Think iover. Then invest to your limit m order to insure a real future for your country, yourself, and your children. Ins Fecal Point of every room Windows are the focal points of every room.
