Hats Off!

This newspaper too busy last week to comment on
that very good letter that printed in The Forum col
and in which chided for not having given due
credit to the loyal Jls who aiding SO ably and
willingly to keep the wheels turning in the highly
portant lumber industry.
Our only excuse is that the omission entirely

been called to the great work being done by the Mikes and
Pats in the ranks of the lumber jacks and thought
was to pay them due credit Perhaps have onetrack

thing at that time and the Jls had entirely escaped
But that shouldn't be- No should forget the Jis in

Psychology for
The Fighting Man

| have just been reading a little
booklet called Psychology for the
Fighting Man" 1t is one of those
books published primarily for the
soldiers, and every soldier able to
read, ought to have it. 1t has 20
chapters, each written by we'll
known psychologist or expert in his
line. Amy chapter can be read sep
arately and they are all highly in
teresting. Familiarity with them
will make any man a better soldier
and better leader. The chapter
on mobs is only one. 1t tells how
and why mobs form, what starts q
panic and how to stop one.
But here are few of the other
topics found exceedingly interest
ing.
Psychology and combat
Seeing in the dark
Color and camoufage
Food and sex as military problems
Differences among races and peoples
and many others.
Simply-told psychology.
In this war, a man needs all the
helps of that kind that he can get
for the contrast between army life
and civilian life is greater than ever.
This book, Psychology for the
Fighting Man" is pat out by non
profit corporation = the Infantry
Journal, here in Washington. 1t
costs only quarter. 1t is for the
soldier, sailor, private or general,
ensign or admiral. And it would be
good idea for a lot of next of
kin to read this book, too. 1t might
help them to understand what the
soldier is up against.

loses, the rest Of the country does,
too We have struggled through mi
nor industrial panics. as we used to
call them, but when the farm goes,
1t means that things are In such a
way that there is no stopping until
everybody touches bottom.
Campaign Worked in III
The article which | wrote in 1g41
reported meeting here in Wash
ington of mortgage bankers, insur-
ance people, farm organization rep
resentatives and others who were
urged by the Farm Credit admin
istration to make normal appraisals
of land. Apparently they did pref
ty good job. Meanwhile, an educa-
tional campaign was started urging
the farmer, instead of rushing out
and buying land with the first money
he got as income increased, to pay
off his debts. 1t was gratifying to
see the results. In the next year
(l942) the net reduction of mort
cages was $50 million dollars as
against an average of 100 million
reduction over the three preced-
ing years. Of course, there is MOTH
ing Old Man Initiation hates worse
than seeing debts paid up.
Another thing which has helped
the present situation is the fact that
the farmers who are buying land
now usually put up large initial
cash payment. In other words, they
are avoiding future debts and that is
another thing, Of course, which is
equally unpleasant to Old Man In
hation.
There is nothing to stop the farm
er from specializing in land If he
wants to, buying on a margin the
way the gamblers used to do on
the stock exchange. Now such trans
actions are considerably limited by
law but there is no law to keep
farmer from gambling if he doesn't
know any better.

Washington. d. C..

For many months now, govern.
ment offices and conference rooms,
no matter how they might echo with
glowing reports from the home or
the battle front, have never been
quite free from a ghost. 1t hovers
in the corner and sends chiIls down
every spne-it is the ghost of Old
Man Imitation, trying to come back
to the scene of his crimes in the
roaring tWenties.
The Office of War Information has
Just issued a warning that this spec
ter may appear in his most fright
full form if we are not careful. The
fat pay envelope is the initiation dan
ger you hear most about But there
is a worse one, namely, farm
land boom. So far, there has been
no spectacular rise in farm land
prices but a dangerous trend has
been discovered in some states and
the bureau of agricultural econom-
les is decidedly worried. Here are
some figures.
Up 20 Per Cent
AS of March | of this year, in
creases in farm land values over
those of the previous year were 20
to "a per cent.
In September, l94l, | wrote in
these columns.
Money to burnt
And the burning question is how
to stop the confagration before it
starts. The chief danger is another
prairie fire of farm land speculation
such as started in Iowa in World
War | Today, two years after
the present war started, farm land
prices are up | per cent !"
Remember, that was written in
September, 194l. Well, steps we're
taken to prevent speculation then
and they met with success. How
ever, as we have seen by compar-
ing figures, land prices in some
states have now increased consid-
erably. That is natural for much
has happened since 194l. In 1912,
as the Office of War Information
points out, for the first time in 20
years, the annual average of farm
prices reached parity with other
prices" Since the outbreak of the
war, the average of farm prices
has risen more than 80 per cent,
and farm income by about 80 per
cent while the average prices paid
by farmers, including interest and
taxes, has increased about rs per
cent.
Farm income was around 10 bill
lion dollars in 194l-it will be about
% billion for 1913.
That means, of course, that the
farmer has money to spend and it
is natural that land values would
rise to some degree. As I said, they
have gone up as high as "a per
cent in some states and less than 6
per cent in only six states. Those
figures, says the bureau of agricul-
III Oil IAolOIili&1 bCdl Watching
1t is also reported that bankers in
some parts of the Middle West be-
lieve that in some cases, the land
values have risen beyond their real
worth based on the longtime earn
ing capacity of the land. That, if
it is true, of course means that
right now some farmers are buy
ing land that won't pay for itself.
It is reasonable to suppose that
they are not members of that I'M
happy group of $4,000 farm owners
who met Old Man Initiation before
and who lost their property under
foreclosures in the decade that end
ed in 1899. If they are, they deserve
to suffer again. But the unfortu-
nate thing is that when the farmer
