Why Farmers Should Buy
and Keep War Bonds
by r. r. Renne
President
Montana State College

BUILDING financial reserves,
- paying off debts, helping to
fight dangerous imitation, and pa
triotism, are all good reasons why
farmers should buy and hold War
Bonds.
A good financial reserve is an
important part of sound farm
management. War Bonds are safe
investments and are almost as
liquid as cash. Thus, they COM
prise an excellent financial re-
serve for unexpected needs and
emergencies. After the last war
prices fell rapidly, as they have
after every major war, and thou
sands of American farmers lost
their farms because they could not
weather the economic storm. No
other factor is more essential for
continued satisfactory farm opera
tons, through good years and bad,
than adequate financial reserves.
In addition to unexpected needs
for emergencies, farmers need
adequate reserves to finance re-
pairs, requirements and improve
ments around the farm. Difficult
ties in obtaining needed materials
and labor for these expenditures
cause farm buildings and equip
ment to wear out faster during
the war period than in peacetime.
If farmers can wait until some
time after the war ends to make
these repairs and improvements,
their dollars should go farther than
they will Immediately following
the war, and better quality ma
terials will probably be available.
Moreover, too rapid or forced
cashing of War Bonds immediate
ly after the war could create a
serious situation and contribute to
postwar initiation. Also, holding
Bonds to maturity makes it posi-
BILE for the farmer to increase his
investment by one-fourth through
accumulated interest. Still anoth-
er reason for having a good re-
serve in the form of War Bonds is
that funds will be available for
the boys when they return, to as
sist them in getting established in
peacetime pursuits.
Many farmers still have

and then siphoned or poured from
the dregs which settle at the bottom.
Filtered juices are more attractive
in appearance, but less so in flavor
than unfiltered ones.
Of tomato juice, Miss Kimbrough
says, mo tomato juice is superior
to that which is made, as needed,
by pressing home-canned tomatoes
through fine sieve" For those who
prefer canning the juice, she gives
the following recipe: Use firm, red
ripe, freshly picked tomatoes. Dis
with decay or fungus. Wash care
oven; or steam; or cut into small
pieces and cook until soft. Ut is
said that smaller percentage of
vitamins is lost when the cooking
is done by steaming or baking.)
Press the hot tomatoes through
fine, preferably cone-shaped, sieve.
Reheat to simmering (195-205' F.).
Pour into hot jars. Process 20 min
utes in hot water bath at simmer
ing, or 10 minutes at boiling. If the
juice is to be used in infant feeding,
omit salt. Otherwise. add salt to
season.
And this is a good recipe for
grape juice. Wash, stem, and crush
fresh, firm-ripe grapes. Add cup
water to each gallon crushed grapes.
Heat 10 minutes at simmering.
Strain through several layers of
cheesecloth. Let stand in a cool
place, preferably in refrigerator. "a

cups sugar to each gallon juice. Re-

The Great Gameof Politics
Wallace Stock at Low Point, Says Writer;
Friends Believe He Is to Be Eliminated

welt has lost control Of the con-
vention on other matters is, of
course, nonsense. It was always
known that he would accept and
his preconvention acceptance al
tered nothing. If he does not con-
troll in this matter it will be because
he does not choose to control.
He still can nominate Mr.. WAL
lace II he insists upon 1t, but he
certainly cannot nominate him by
giving him the sort of endorse
ment he gave. for example. to the
national service proposal, which, at
the urgent request Of Army and
Navy heads, he recommended to
Congress and then did nothing
more about, the result being that
lit languished and died.
Three weeks ago, it seemed that
the President really wanted Mr..
Wallace and intended to have him.
Now. apparently, he has been
frightened on. Maybe, when the
alternatives are examined, he will
regain confidence.
In the meanwhile, the situation
In which the devoted Mr.. Wallace
is left is as unfair as 1t is uncom-
Portable. Nor does his obvious
weakening under pressure show Mr..
Roosevelt In . very admirable light.
In this case. he seems to fall con-
siderably short Of being either a
loyal friend or q fearless leader.
II he throws Mr.. Wallace to the
wolves (and that is what 4 mere

out exertion of his power means)
it will be because he is afraid Of
the political consequences to him.

sure Of the city bosses to whom he
owes so much.
1t seems now as If that is what
he has done and that there will
be more or less wild scramble for
the nomination In the convention,
with Mr.. Wallace putting up q
good fight, but one quite hopeless
without genuine White House sup
port. The interesting thing is that
among the half dozen other eager
and anxious aspirants there isn't
one better qualified for the Presi-
dency than Mr.. Wallace or likely
to gain Mr.. Roosevelt any more
votes.
Summing up, what is being done
to Mr.. Wallace Is as unnecessary
as 1t Is cruel.
