WHITE DEER REVIEW, White Deer, Carson County, Texas
Future Farmers Put Food Profits in Bonds
Throughout the nation the FFA boys are making a
substantial contribution to the war effort through the
production of the all-important food supply and pur-
chase of War Bonds v/ith their profits. Shown here are
some instances. No. 1 shows Robert Hill of the Wel-
come Chapter FFA, North Carolina, with three of his
eight registered dairy calves. North Carolina FFA boys
owned 9,299 dairy cows and invested profits in War
Bonds totalling $308,650. No. 2 shows two Wilson
County, Tennessee, boys of the Green Gale Chapter at
Lebanon repairing farm equipment. At an auction of
this farm equipment, a total of $85,000 went into War
Bonds. No. 3—Edward Jones of Pittsboro Chapter
FFA, North Carolina, and some of his 455 high-produc-
ing victory hens. Edward made a net profit of $548.12
from his flock last year and is putting his profits in War
Bonds. No. 4 shows Colin English, State Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction, Herbert Shuman, president
Palmetto Chapter FFA, and Harrison E. Barringer,
State Senator, all of Florida, at the high light of an
annual Father-and-Son banquet. The Florida Future
Farmers bought a $1,000 War Bond with the funds
from their farm produce grown on their own class
project. Back the Attack—Buy More Than Before.

Agricultural Prices, Farm
Indebtedness, Purchase of Bonds
by W. Preston Thomas
Dept, of Agricultural Economics

Agent, Extension Serivce, A&M
TMMEDIATELY following World
X War I farmers bid up the price
of land to a point where most of the
purchasers either lost all of their
farm equity or it took a lifetime
to pay off the mortgage with low
priced farm products. During this
period of high prices will the farm-
ers of America bid up the price of
land and obligate themselves with
a heavy debt load as they did in
1918 to 1920? Will they remember
the indebtedness they incurred
during World War I and how they
were forced to carry this burden
during a period of 20 years when
agricultural prices were de-
pressed? High prices and a post-
war depression were new experi-
ences for the farmers during and
following World War I. Most of
American farmers operating today
have experienced both high and
low agricultural prices. Will these
experiences be remembered and
will they plan their economic pro-
gram more wisely-during this pe-
riod of high prices than was the
case from 1914 to 1920?
Economic Program for Farmers
With the present outlook for con-
tinued heavy expenditures by the
federal government for war pur-
poses ;and a reduced amount of
civilian goods,. indications for the
immediate future are for ^continu-
ing good prices. However, with
the closing of the war and a re-
duction of government expendi-
tures and an adjustment in agri-
culture and industry back to pro-
duction largely for civilian use,
there will most likely come a re-
duction in prices. The exact time
or extent of the reduction can not
be predicted.
During the early phases of ma-
jor wars, farmers should expand
production to the limit. However,
there comes a .time because of
uncertainties as to duration of the
war and the fact that prices will
fall during the post-war period,
when the individual should not ex-
pand on long time credit which
requires many years to liquidate.
Now is a good time for farmers
to increase production for a year
at a time or shorter periods by
intensive use of available re-
sources. It is a time which calls
for caution concerning long-time
commitments, especially for pur-
chase of high-priced land, breed-
ing stock, or equipment. .
During the period of high prices
the wise farmer will pay off his
indebtedness and buy United
States Bonds. During the post-
war period there is likely to be a
depreciation in land, livestock, and
other farm values as well as re-
duced prices received for agricul-
tural products. On the other hand
the United States Government is
guarantying the value, with in-
terest, on the E Series of federal
Bonds. The dollar invested in
Bonds now when prices are high
will be returned with interest with-
out depreciation and at a time
when the value of other commodi-
ties may be low. The value or
purchasing power of the dollar in-
vested in Bonds will be greatly
increased when other prices are
reduced or when an adjustment is
made from a war to a peacetime
economy. The farmer who is wise-
ly planning his war and post-war
economic program will have funds
for use to improve the farm and
the farm home during the post-
war period. Such improvements
might include the home, other
farm buildings, fences, irrigation
and drainage facilities, and the
purchase of new equipment for the
home and the farm. The present
economic program for farmers
should be to produce to the limit,
get out of debt, buy government
Bonds, and make plans to improve
the home and the farm for satis-
factory living and for economic
production during the post-war pe-
riod.
V. S. Treasury Department
Conversations these (lays always
get around to canning, mailing
packages overseas and equipment
now being manufactured for civil-
ian use. I ’ll add a few Ihits I have
receivd this week from the Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
Abundant Apples
Supplies of apples genearally
are expected to Ibe considerable
larger than last . year. October
promises to be the big apple
month. Along with a variety of
recipes fro everyday apple dishes,
the forehanded housewife will
have reliable directions for can-
ning apples. Apples may be canned
sliced or as apple sauce, .and may
be put- up with or without sweet-
ening.
Overseas Christmas Packages
Mailing dates for Christmas
packages for service men and wo-
men iare from Sipt. 15 to Oct. 15
this yeai*.
During this 30-day Christmas
mailing period gift, packages may
be mailed overseas without the
presentation of a request from the
service man or woman. Total
weight of the Christmas package
must not Ibe over 5 pounds. The
package can be no longer than 15
inches or larger than 36 inches in
length and girth com)bined. Only
one such, package can be sent from
the same person to the same ad-
dress during any one week,
fruit will not Ibe accepted by post
offices. Any canned food should be
canned in tin. Tight tin containers
are also advised fro jams, mara-
lades, cookies, «cake £>r candy.
Ordinary cardboard boxes, such
as shoe boxes, are not strong c-
noungh for overseas shipping un-
less they are reinforced on all sid-
es with corrugated cardboai’d. Box-
es should be of double corrugated
cardboard, filblre wood, or wood.
Small articles slhould be closely
packed in the box with such pack-
ing materials as shredded paper
or excelsior. Cartons sold in stores
for overseas shipping are generally
suitable containers for Christmas
boxes.
Firm, rather soft, thick cookies
travel with less beakage than thin,
brittle snaps or crumble buttter
butter cookies. 'S'quare cookies
pack in .boxes more compactly than
round cookies.
Chocolate brownies and dried
fruit (bars are especially good for
4hipping. Frost brownies on all
sides to keep them moist, then
wrap each one sepaately in waxed
paper and pack in a tight tin or
heavy waxed cardboard box.
New Electric Irons
The War Production Board has
authorized 35 manufacturers to
make slightly more than 2 million
electric irons this year. Most of
the new irons will have automatic
{heat controls and will be in the
medium price range from.$5.70 up
to $8.75. It will not be necessary
to turn in an old iron to buy a
new one.
SWIFT HEAD LAUDS
TEXAS WAR EFFORT
Meat Packing Company President
Says State’s Agriculture Has
Major Postwar Role.
FORT WORTH, TEX. — John
Holmes, president of Swift & Com-
pany, paid tribute to Texas’ con-
tribution to the war effort in an
address here and declared the
state's rich agricultural resources
will play an im-
portant role in
the postwar
world.
“Not only in
fighting man-
power, but in
the battle of
food, Texas has
made a mighty
contribution to
'.be victory soon to be won, “the
Chicagoan f old an audience of em-
ployes, families and friends at Will
Rogers Memorial Auditorium.
Pointing out that Texas leads the
nation in production'of cattle ana
himbs, Holmes declared the value
of total meat animal- production to
rite state’s ranchers and farmers
was at an all-time peak last year
which was one-fifth more than the-
re ovious year and more than five
times that of a decade ago.
“As an indication of the tremend-
ous quantities of food produced by
Texas, our meat plants and branch
houses processed nearly one-hah
billion pounds of food products
during 1943. distributing them tt
distant consuming markets, and
paid approximately $100,000,000 tc
Texas farmers and ranchers, to
Texas employes in wages and
salaries, to local suppliers and to
tl. o state in taxes.” he said.
"The importance of Texas as a
food producer has long been
recognized by Swift. Establishment
of our first meat packing plant ir.
: tip, state in 1002 at Fort Worth
came only a few years after the
company’s organization. Important
plants have also been established
tcre at Dallas and San Antonio
“O-io significant fact is tha--
Texas produces so much food tha'.
it hap by far more than its owe
population needs. Its big surpluses
•'!' meat, for example, go to make
r,-. tfu.v deficiencies which exist in
many other states. Because form
production is a principal source of
income of the state, Texas''
ruv.spr.rity is closely linked with the
necessity of finding markets for he*
foot products.
"This is where Swift & Company

market, on a national and even
world-wide scale, for the product.

By C. W. Cottingame, Co. Agent
An average of 240 pounds was
made by 454 yearling Hereford
steers on the Southern Plains B'x-
peerimental Range during the 107-
day period extending from April
15 to July 31, (according ta report
of D. A. Savage, {Woodward, Okla.
The steers started the grazing
season at an average weight of 438
pounds and averaged 678 pounds
per head when reweighed at the
end of July. Their average daily
gain during this period was 2.22
pounds per head, as compared to
2.13 pounds for a heavier class of
yearlings during the same period
a year ago.
The currant season’s gain was
made on native range pastures
tvjpical and represents the average
of 20 different pastures in which
many range treatments are under
investigation to determine grazing
practices that will yield maximum
beef production without injury to
the grasses. The native range is
supplemented only with salt in all
pastures and steamed hone meal
in addition to salt in one pasture.
The gains to" the end of July
ranged from an average of 216
pounds per head on deliberately
overgrazed pastures to 26 ( pounds
per steer on moderately grazed
piastures mowed in 1941 and 1942
for control of brush and weeds.
By the end of July the mowed pas-
tures bad produced 32 pounds pei
head more than comparable non-
mowed pastures, supported 81 per
cent imJore cattle, and produced
nearly twee as much beef to the
care. A stockng rate of 5.6 aicres
per head was required to obtain
proper use of the native grasses
on the non-molwed (pastures, as
compared to 3.1 acres per head for
the same degres of grazing on the
mowed pastures.
Results obtained from these and
many other phases of this compre-
hencive grazing investigation, to-
gether with pralctcal information
o nhow to establish excellent pas-
tures in the region, will be report-
ed at the annual Range Improve-
ment Field Day on Saturday, Oct.

Texas wheat acreage goals for
1945 harvest have not been mater-
ially changed from last year. A
reduction of only 28,000 acres has
been announced, by WFA. The
goal for Texas is 4,600,000 acres
as compared to 4,628,000 acres for
las year. Texas A&M Extension
Servce is advising farmers to plant
small grains for winter pasture ais
well as to meet next year’s feed
goals.
