On the Other Hand
Farmer Advised to Give Mother,

BY Harry Honon

inflated farm land"
This advice may be hard for many
farmers to take. The natural urge
of any farmer is to expand his acre.

to be an 80-acre farmer: the 80-acrt
farmer, 160-acre farmer, and so on
Aside from increased standing ir
the community, more acres car
mean more money.
More Acres, More Debt.
But the NPA committee argues thai
more acres can also mean more debt
and a much bigger disaster for the
farmer If and when the boom busts
1t recalls what happened in the late
2Os, when the farmers, rolling in
wealth one year, found themselves
the next year with shotguns, stand
ing off the sheriff's deputies, come
to toreclose.
So the farmer is being advised to
fix up the home place, to improve
the house as we'll as the barn, to
give mother, the children and him.
self a break.
Many farm people are in better
financial condition than they ever
have been," says the committee.
Their Indebtedness Is greatly re-
duced and their incomes have been
high. They have the ability to pay
for the Improvements we have in
dicated. Material shortages will not
last always. For a large part OF
the farm population there is no
longer the excuse of low income
for not providing houses and home
conveniences on q par with town
and city homes"
But, if the farmer follows his nat
ural instinct:
From the national point Of view,
land buying at inflated values con-
tributes to the boom now and makes

The Capital Transit Co. is start

And not even the operator will be

Strauss and Herbert waltzes voted
for the plan although its CONNER

Now the tardy passenger, who gets
the bus after the one he. should have
got, will no longer be able to hope
that he will get to work ahead OF
the time he knows he is going to
arrive. They are going to give time
signals over the radio every few
minutes.
