During this period o( 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 depressed? High prices and a postwar depression were new expert~ ences for the farmers during and following World War I . Mo:st 0! American farmers operating today have experienced both high and low agricultural prices. Will these experiences be remembered and will they plan their economic prOgram more wisely during this period of high prices than was the case !cona 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 war and a re· duction of government expenditures and an adjustment in agri· culture and industry back to pro~ duction largely for civilian use, there will most likely1 come a re~ duction in prices. The exact time or extent of the reduction can not be predicted. During the early phases of major wars, farmers should expand production to the limit. However, there comes a time because of uncertainties as to duration of the war and the feet 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 o! high-priced land, breeding stock, m· equipment. During the period of high prices the wise farmer will pay off his indebtedness and buy United States Bonds. During the postwar period there is likely to be a dcpreclation in land, livestock, and other farm values as well as reduced prices received for agricultural products. On the other hand the United States Government is guarantying the value, with interest. on the E Series of :federal Bonds. The dollar invested in Bonds now when prices are high will be returned with interest with~ out depreciaUon and at a time when the value of other commodities may be low. The value or purchasing power ~:. the dollar invested 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 wisely planning his war and post-war economic program will have funds for use to improve the farm and the farm home during the postwar 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 BonQs, and make plans to improve the home and the farm for satis~ factory living and for economic production during the post-war period.
