Washington, Aug. 1,— “Peace jit ters” and “political heebie-jeebies” are the chief worries of the war ad ministrators here, who feel that these two infections of the national blood stream are going to cause serious dis ruption on the home. front unless strong action is taken to deal with the^n. The peace jitters” term was used by Robert Patterson, acting secretary of war, who in a recent press con-, ference, said they already h^ve af fected war production and may affect it more seriously in the near future. Mr. Patterson described ‘“peace jit ters” as a state of mind inspired by. the false belief that the war is about to end. He said that the trend among war workers to try to establish them selves in peacetime pursuits at this time is alarming and said that there already is a shortage of over 200,000 men in war industries. Mr. Patterson added that many leaders feel the war department has failed to get over to the public the true picture of what “war effort” i really means and think that it may be impossible to te^ch civilians tlv impoitance of war work without 1 seeing what is going on at thp^war Ironths.

COtJND farm management sug- ^ gests that funds should be re served now |to provide for-depre- ciation, for irikurance against risks, and for expected future outlays. The purchase of War Bonds is one of the best ways to conserve such savings. Every experienced fanner knows he must keep buildings in repair, and that machinery wears out or becomes obsolete. In our present crisis, many of the outlays needed to maintain the farm plant must be deferred. The lumber, min erals and chemicals now produced and our skilled and unskilled labor must be used to produce foods and fibre, build ships, make airplanes, and provide the other goods and services essential to the prosecu tion of the war. As our farm machinery gets old er,^^rs buildings go without paint- and with minimum attention other repairs, these needs grow. When the war is over, our industries again will make civilian goods. Saving money and build ing a reserve through the pur chase of War Bonds now, will enable a farmer to buy the equip ment and the other goods and services which then will be avail able. Savings Are Beneficial The savings from current in come should include funds to re place household equipment and furnishings, to buy new equipment, an# to install a water system, a central heating plant, electricity, or some other service w’hich will add to the convenience and com fort of family living. A back-log in War Bonds will help to carry the farm business through a year in which expenses exceed the returns. Farming is subject to many hazards. A few of the risks are price changes, unfavorable weather, the outbreak of disease, the attack of a destruc tive insect, and the sudden illness of the operator. Growers of cash crops know that prices vary from year to year. Savings set aside during years when prices are rela tively high, will help to carry the business through a year when re turns are small. A potato grow er who put , part of his receipts from the 1942 and 1943 crops into War Bonds will find such a re serve is extremely helpful in a year of low prices. A few hun dred dollars in War Bonds are very useful when the farm family faces an emergency as a result of a serious illness or accident. In planning for the future of the family or the business, each farm operator will find reserves for a specific purpose are desirable, with one it will be a provision for the education of children; with another funds for retirement may be important. With a young man especially, such reserves will fur nish the first payment for the pur chase of a farm. A farmer who owns the land he operates will find such a fund useful if and when an opportunity to purchase additional land develops^ Saving Time Varies The time of the year when mon ey to buy War^Bonds is available varies with^tite type of farming. On dairy -farms income usually is receiypdrnonthly or semimonthly. The Expenses of the poultry farm erare heavy during the months that chickens are being raised. Producers of cash crops have large outlays during the planting and growing season. But depreciation continuous. Therefore, irrespective of the type of farming, definite provision should be made to reserve in War Bonds part of the receipts from sales of crops, livestock, or Live stock products. United States War Bonds may be bought in various amounts and are redeemable. For every $3.00 invested, $4.00 will be returned at the end of 10 years. They are safe. The interest rate compares favorably with that from savings deposits. Investing in War Bonds helps to finance the war. Follow ing the war, such savings will pro vide the farm operator with the cash to buy improvements for his farm and home; to educate his children; and to do the other things which he or his family wish to undertake, at a time when loans may be difficult to obtain.

On the other hand, there are others who blame the news papers and radio for making every small step toward victory appear to be a major triumph.
