With the greatest war financing
program in the history of the coun-
try to be launched in the month of
April, attention is being given this
month to the purchase of war bonds
by farmers and the advantages of
this type of savings for rural peop-
lie.
A farmers income cannot be con-
sidered as comparable to pay re-
ceived by labor. A large part of
farm income is a return on invest
ment in land, buildings and equip
ment.
Farm buildings and equipment are
wearing out, likely faster than usu-
al with increased use and less time
for keeping up repairs as they are
needed. Purchase of war bonds now
will take care of such depreciation
until repairs and requirements are
available.
To keep up with the wear and
tear on farm buildings and equip
ment it would be wise to set aside
an amount equal to the value of the
depreciation. Using the 1910 census
valuation of farm buildings and
equipment a depreciation of three
per cent on buildings and 10 per
cent on equipment would alone call
for at least 5000 per year on the
average farm in Ohio.
Add automobile wear and depre-
citation on home equipment and it
can easily be seen that the average
farm family should save close to
$500 in 1943 just to keep up with the
wear and tear. This average in
cludes many small farms in the
state. For we'll equipped farms the
figure would be nearer 5000.
Farmers generally are putting a
large share of their income into war
bonds. Perhaps they should because
of the need for cash reserve for their
business in addition to the reasons
why all people should invest in war
savings.
Farmers in one of the western
states have drawn up a financial

SHORTS AND MIDDLINGS-
Rotting of vegetable seeds can be
prevented by dusting the seeds with
Spergon or Semesan. Some other
materials are effective but are not
stocked regularly by supply stores,
Excess Semesan dust should be re-
moved from seeds by shaking them
over a screen. The dust can be used
again. Excess Spergon will not in
jure seeds but screening off the ex-
cess will conserve materials.
Adequate supplies of fungicide
dusts for protecting garden vege-
tables will be available when they
are needed, but many dealers in
farm supplies have not yet received
shipments from the manufacturers.
Electric motors should be kept
clean and dry. Too much oil may
cause as much trouble as too little
oil. Follow the manufacturers di-
rections on fabrication. If motors
get wet, do not use them until they
become dry.
