Bonds-Prevent Bondage" He said
the farmers now are getting the
greatest income in many years; in
fact, in their history. He said it
was no time to speculate in land at
high prices. Machinery and fertiliz-
ers are scarce, he pointed out, and
there is a shortage of labor, but
despite handicaps the farmers are
producing more than in former
years.
He peladed with the audience to
invest in bonds until it hurts. Keep
an interest in your country and
help safeguard it; support the boys
