“Our association has been selling
war stamps to members and other

fanners and others in our territory in
issuing the war bonds as we feel it
will be convenient for them to buy
these bonds from our association.
“Most fanners are receiving greater
farm income due to better prices and
increased production. By investing a
part of this excess indome in war
bonds and stamps, they are not only
helping Uncle Sam to finance the war
but are helping themselves by build
ing up their own financial security for
the future”
