Inj 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 ' cash ones compared to the sacrifices of the boys who are taking on more than a man-size- d job? 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 returns are net that sum remaining after 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. - 16 33 12 RICH COUNTY MEN ATTEND NATIONAL FARM LOAN MEET T 7ITH net farm income now about three times that of farmers and ranchers 15 IN CONGRESS Wesley J.

Advance ROBINSON AND Following is the complete return from the Rich County Primary REPRESENTATIVE In al ts 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 re-- . pairs or improvements. Bonds can supply the stake to set sons 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 it over. Then invest to your limit in order to insure a real future for your country, yourself,-anyour children. 17. PVT. MERRIL V. HOFF- MAN IS REWARDED Keesler Field, Biloxi, Miss, July 8: Pvt. Merril V.
