of Agricultural Economics
SOUND farm management sug
gests that funds should bi re
served now to provide for depreci
[ ation, for insurance against risks,
| and for expected future outlays.
The purchase of War Bonds is one
[I of the best ways to conserve such
i savings.
■! Every experienced farmer 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.
J As our farm machinery gets old-
J er, as buildings-go without paint
ing, and with minimum attention
- to 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-
J able.
Savings Are Beneficial
TT>e savings from current in
■ come should include funds to re
place household equipment and
furnishings, to buy new equip
ment, and to install 9 water sys
tem, a central heating plant, elec
tricity, or some other service
which will add to the convenience
and comfort 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. Sayings 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 mav
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 the type of farming.
On dairy farms income usually is
received monthly or semimonthly.
The expenses of the poultry farm
er are heavy during the months
that chickens are being raised.
Producers of cash crops have
large outlays during the planting
and growing season.
But depreciation is 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 'die farm operator with the
cash to buy improvements for his
farm and home; to educate his
children; and to do the ether
things which he or his family wish
to undertake, at a time when loans
may be difficult to obtain. •
