A MERICAN farmers have a great deal more at stake in purchasing War Bonds than sim ply a patriotic urge to assist in financing the war so that it may be prosecuted to an early and vic torious conclusion. Modern war demands goveinmental expendi tures far in excess of those which may be met by current revenue receipts. This means Government borrowing. If a large part of this borrowing is through commercial banks additional inflationary spending power is created through the expansion of credit. On the other hand, if the borrowing is largely from individuals much of their excess funds are drained off. Hence, the pressure on prices re sulting from unusually large funds bidding for limited amounts of goods and services is relieved, and thus inflation retarded. A tremendously increased agricultural production and some increase in average* prices—received above those paid by farmers have raised the net income of all United States farmers from the 1935- 39 average of S4.7 billion to $6.3 billion in 1941, $9.4 billion in 1942, and an estimated $12.5 billion in 1943. With available supplies of farm machinery re placements and building ma terials limited. Agriculture has a fund available for either debt retirement, savings read ily liquidated for future pur chases of machinery, build ings, etc., or for present in vestment in land. A marked decrease in farm mortgages in recent years indi cates that much of this fund has been properly applied to debt re tirement. rtowever, activity in land sales and a very marked in crease in land values demon- SENATE VOTES TO The Woman's Missionary Society of A| I OW HIFPQ Bailey Memorial Methodist Church, Oscar Parkman of Belvedere, South, held its August meeting at the CHOICE OF N E^/S - spent the week-end with his brother, home of Mrs. Marvin Stewart Mon- A “■ Turkman, and Mrs. Parkman.day exening.

From March 1, 1943, to March 1, 1944, average land values per acrg rose 15 per cent, with the larger part of the rise taking place in the last four months of the period. The in crease during this four-month pe riod was the highest on record, being 20 per cent greater than the average monthly rate of .increase for the 1919-20 boom yeaTT Aver age values per acre have increased more than one-third in the past 3 years. In the 1916-19 period the rise was about the same. It appears that anvovercapitali- zation of probably temporarily high farm commodity prices is in E rocess just as in World War I. arge mortgage debts incurred now, at high levels of income, will prove disastrous when both total agricultural production and prices fall. Land values are based on the net return to land. With the end * of the war in sight and with the prospect that farm labor and other costs will require a relatively larg er return leaving the return to land less, the logical course for land values at present would ap pear to be downward rather than upward. Therefore, it appears that farmers would do well to in vest every available dollar, beyond that needed for debt retirement, in Government Bonds. These can be held against the day when neces sary farm replacements will be available and when farm land values will have become more stable. In this way the individual farmer may assist in hastening the day of return of his son. and also have capi tal available to help finance him in ventures of his owm Choice. 17. S.
