Why a Farmer Should
Buy and Keep War Bonds
by W. E. Grimes
Head, Djpt. of Economics and Sociology
Kansas State College, Manhattan, Kansas
A MERICAN farmers, more than
-Cx any other business group, typ-
ify American freedom and Ameri-
can democracy. The farmer of
America has the right—and exer-
cises that right—to conduct his
, business and live his life as he
| chooses. He must and does ac-
i cept responsibility for the success
] or failure of his business and the
1 well-being of his family. The pro-
j duction of his farm, in large meas-
« ure, is a reflection of his ability
a and ingenuity and initiative under
• our system of free enterprise and
individual freedom.. This is the
essence of American democracy.
American democracy did not
just happen. It was established
by long and constant struggle
againsi the forces that would have
prevented it. It is a heritage from
our forefathers who fought for it.
It can be maintained only by con-
tinuing the fight for it. This fight
goes on whether we are at war or
in peace. It is the constant strug-
gle to make democracy work. To
make it work, every citizen must
do his part as a member of a
freedom loving, freedom acting
people. Democracy works if we
make it work.
Today there are forces that
would destroy the freedom of the
American farmer and his family
and the freedom of every other
person who loves and cherishes
our democracy. These forces stem
from three sources. First are
those 'mtside the borders of this
country that are attempting to
tear away the very foundations of
our democracy and to make farm-
ers and all other businessmen the
henchmen of dictatorial powers.
Under such a rule the job of the
farmer would be to carry out the
orders of the dictator. It is to pre-
vent this that the boys from our
farms and cities are fighting on
farflung battlefronts throughout the
world. This answer to this threat
is—it shall not come to pass.
Within our country, forces are
ever seeking to undermine the de-
mocracy which permits freedom
loving farmers to conduct their
farms in peace and with profit.
These are the forces which encour-
age inflation with its soothing but
deadly effects. Price controls, ra-
tioning of scarce goods, limitations
of credit, repayment of debts, and
the purchase of War Bonds are
some of the weapons being used
against these enemies that strike
from within. Thf^e are the weap-
ons of the home from.
The third source of forces that
tend to destroy American’democ-
racy are those which undermine
the stability of our farms and
other businesses which typify so
well the exercise of American de-
mocracy. Our democracy can be
no stronger than its component
parts'. If the business stability of
American farms is impaired, our
democracy totters. Under our sys-
tem it is the responsibility of the
farmer to maintain his own busi-
ness, and most American farmers
do so. They are repaying debts,
avoiding new excessive debts, and
buying War Bonus from their in-
comes. The income ’o American
agriculture in 1943 was more than
nineteen billion dollars—the high-
est in all history. Income in 1944
probably will be equally as large.
It is to be expected that a sizable
proportion of this high income will
be invested in War Bonds—invest-
ed in the democracy which makes
it possible for the typical Ameri-
can family farm to exist
American farmers have been
buying War Bonds and they will
continue to buy them and to hold
them after they are bought. They
appreciate democracy. The Amer-
ican farmer is deeply and practi-
cally patriotic. His patriotism is
the kind that says little but does
things. He has a vision of the
day when the boys will return
from foreign battlefronts, when
the threat of foreign dictatorships
is wiped out for keeps, and vrtien
stability within our country is as-
sured. And he realizes that the
financial stability of his own farm
business plays an important part
in this struggle to defend, to main-
tain, and to strengthen democracy.
So he buys Bonds and holds them
pending the day when the pur-
chasing power which they repre-
sent can be used to further
strengthen the American farm of
which he is a part, and thus his
farm may play Its partjn main-
taining a strong and vigorous de-
mocracy Jn the America he loves.

Victory Gardens
Now that victory gardens and
canning do not require so much of
our time our interest turns to-
wards a few odd jobs in the yard
that need to be done right away.
Bulbs
Plant fall bulbs Avhen leaves on
trees drop—is an old saying that
serves as a guide to some garden-
ers. Such hardy spring flowering
bulbs as—tulips, narcissi, hyacinth
and crocus do best Avhen in Octo-
ber or early November Avhen the
oronnd is cool. If planted, earliei
top growth begins. Only roots
should grow until spring;.
Peonies may be dug, divided and
transplanted. Lilly bulbs may be*
planted in the Spring, but better
results are secured from fall plant-
ing The Madonna should be plant-
ed shalloAV, about tivo or three
inches — others should be about
five or six inches deep.
Iris, like the Madonna lily*
should be planted shalloAV, trim
the iris leaves to a fon shape to
prevent evaporation.
The bed for planting bulbs out
of doors should be spaded at least
a foot dep and the soil Avell brok-
en up. A god quality of well rot-
ted 'manure may be miked with
the soil and where possible some
sand should be added. Most bulbs
require good drainage or they wi
rot in the ground so be sure to
locate beds Avhere water does not
stand;
Green Lawns
For a green Avinter laAvn sow I-
talian rye grass now. Soav on top
of the Bermuda or other grass, but
first, moAV the laAvn then rake
thoroughly, lettdng the teeth of the
rake go down between the grass
roots and dig up a little soil. Sow
the rye grass and water doAvn tho-
roughly, it Avill come up in about
10 days. Some use about one pound
seed to 100 square feet, that is,
10 by 10 feet. Others sow as much
as 2 or 3 pounds.

Santa Fe, as the map above shows, is an
important lap on the "Route to Tokyo.”
That’s why, during the past several
months, travelers have seen armies of "Men
at Work” all along our lines.
Capacity of our yards has been increased.
Curves have been ironed out so trains
may get around them faster.
New Diesel "head ends” are pulling big-
ger loads up mountain grades.
Ingenious Centralized Traffic Control
Systems have been installed at important
points so the same rails can carry 50 per
cent more traffic.
A new Santa Fe bridge is now being built
across the Colorado River.
We have enlarged
our capacity to meet
the increasing loads of
war. There will be no
slackening of our job
until the war is com-
pletely won.

Don’t Keep Your Folks

There's no reason for empty sockets or
poor home lighting today. Most electrical
dealers now have lamp bulbs in all com-
mon home sizes. You can "light up" at low
cost, and make sure that everyone in the
house has proper illumination.
Of course, you need more than bulbs to
produce the proper light for easy, com-
fortable seeing. Check up on these points
as well:
Keep bulbs free of dust and dirt. Keep
reflector bowls and shades clean.
In the DARK
fit
¥
Put the right size bulb in each lamp
or fixture.
If possible, have white linings in your
lamp shades, to reflect more usable light.
Move lamps closer to points of uSe, so
they shed more light directly on the work.
In rearranging lamps, you may olsoTbe
able to make them serve two people, and
so increase their usefulness.
Your family needs good light, for the
long evenings of fall and winter. Make
sure they get it. Sight is priceless—light is
cheap.
