In this, the farmer is no different from any other citizen. It is hard for any individual to understand that a balanced income over a period of years much more to be desired than high incomes for a few yea: and low incomes for many years thereafter. The farmer, according to most economists, is the first to feel the dire blight of a depression and the last to recover fron Its ravages. While we may regret the truth of this statement, we should not overiook it. Consequently, intelligent farmers should be sure that everything necessary is now being done to prevent the surging flood of inflation that sweeps away the savings of a lifetime. A farmer does not have to be a very old man to remember that in the early Twenties farm land had practically no cash value. When put on sale, the amount received depended almost entirely upon lucky ecir- cumstances, such as the existence of a nearby neighbor who happened to want some land. 8o far as attracting investment capital, farm lands, in the last depression, simply did not exist as an asset. In view of the demands that are arising throughout the land tor increased prices and higher wages, we are about resigned to the expecta. tion of another great depression. We hope that it can be avoided but unless present trends in the United States are checked, we doubt it. Consequently, we feel it necessary to warn all farmers to be on their , avoiding excessive commitments and the creation of new obliga- and, wherever possible, to conduct their operations on a cash basis, LET 1 f fe i is % Removes Lime Deposit Spring Tonle The lime deposit that sometimes A fine spring tone Is stewed rhu- tes on the inside of the tea barb and prunes, blended, but cook- can be removed by putting ed separately.
