I land brokers are worried about the situation, despite down the selling payments of price. No one expects farming to continue to be as profitable as it is now for an indefinite number of years, even if farm produce prices remain on a high level. The day when it will be hard for many purchasers to continue payments at the rate contracted for is foreseen by conservative land dealers. ; J " V - t lix'riS Hi "s!'v' 1 1 A $ 200-mes- h Avery Family Pegging a Strike at a Jap Pillbox Even the t ft e y, one-thir- d Bonds Preferred Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wickard has urged repeatedly farmers who are making money to pay off mortgages and invest it in war bonds, rather than in more land, if by doing so they bid up the price to a point where it would become unprofitable to farm during peR.

This makes it especially difficult for the experienced farmers to keep good farm hands, especially in the face of demands of selective service and the competition of munitions industries.
