How the Farmer May Stretch
His Wartime Dollar!
by Ben F. Alvord
Head, Dept. of Agricultural Economics
Alabama Polytechnic Institute
FARMERS as a group are fre
*■ quently assumed to be able to
make each dollar go farthest and
buy most. This reputation may
perhaps not be deserved. They
have had of necessity, however,
much practice in stretching dol
lars. Their families are larger
and their cash incomes invariably
average smaller than those of the
average family of the United
States. Now is the time for all
farmers who really want to con
tinue to be good dollar stretchers
to give careful thought to how
they handle their affairs.
The farmer must get his dollar
before he stretches it. It takes
long, hard hours of work on the
part of the farmer and his family
to produce crops now for hired
labor is scarce and often impossi
ble to get. However, prices of
products farmers sell in this coun
try are about twice as high as
they were in 1940 and prices farm
ers pay for fertilizer, machinery,
and other production factors aver
age only about fifty per cent high
er than in that year.
Thus, farmers tend to have a
greater margin over production
costs than usual and on the aver
age should have more dollars to
stretch. Some factors in the pres
ent situation hinder dollars stretch
ing and some help. Living costs,
even for the most necessary arti
cles and services, have mounted
and taxes have climbed sharply.
On the other hand, the farmer is
forced to spend less for automobile
driving and other travel; he is
forced to produce and store cer
tain foods that he customarily
buys; and he is duty bound to
economize in other ways for the
war effort. This situation means
he has some dollars at least to
stretch. Stretching requires that
he pay some attention to the value
of the dollar. He can stretch his
dollar by paying debts. His dol
lar purchases less of many things
now than in 1940, but it purchases
just as much release from debt
as ever. Thus, it is a good time to
pay off debts—especially the long
Make This Dress Yourself and
Save for War Bond Purchases
Newest fashion news is the sleeveless, backless that is both attractive and
versatile. Wear it as is for sports and suntanning, then add a perky matching
bolero for street wear. Especially vivid in a tropical green or red, you might
make several in various colors, mixing and matching for different occasions.
Every garment made at home means more money saved for War ilonds.
A suitable pattern may be obtained at your local store, t/’. s'. Treasury Department

time debts. That is one place
where he can make his dollar
valuable. A second place where
his dollar is as valuable as ever
is in the purchase of United States
Bonds. A cheap dollar, such as
we have now, buys just as many
United States Bonds as it did in
1940 when a dollar was worth
about one-third more than at pres
ent. Thus, buying a Bond stretches
the dollar! If the Bond is kept un
til it matures, he has at least one
extra dollar for every three that
he spent for E Bonds. He has
also the chance of getting an extra
margin in case prices drop to the
1940 level when his Bond matures.
This latter margin is not a cer
tainty, but such a price change
could come. It did come after
the previous war. If we assume
that our progress in World War II
is at about the same point as our
progress in 1918 was in World War
I, it is interesting to note that the
all commodities wholesale price
index dropped a net amount of
about 27 per cent in the 10 years
following 1918 and a further 23
per cent in the following 5 years.
That is,' $75 invested in bonds,
such as our present E Bonds, in
1918 would have amounted to $lOO
in 1928 and if then cashed, would
have purchased at wholesale in
that year as much goods as $135
would have bought in 1918. The
increase in dollar value of the
Bond plus the increase in pur
chasing power of each dollar would
have increased the purchasing
power of the investment over the
10-year period by about 80 per
cent. The farmer has this extra
chance to stretch his dollar. Such
dollars would have had an extra
stretch sometime after the Civil
War, sometime after the Spanish
American War and again some
time after World War No. I. The
chance stretch might not come
after World War No. 11, but the
Bond investment is a good “buy”
anyway since 3 dollars invested
still means 4 dollars return for
all Bonds kept to maturity.

Voters when they cast their

1 electors instead of directly for
the party candidates. These
electors are chosen in each state
by each political party. As many
electors are chosen as the state
has representatives and senators
in Congress. The electors elect
ed in each state meet in their
state Capitol and there ballot for
president and vice president. It
is said “the electors have full
right to cast their ballots for
whomsoever they please,” al
though as one writer puts it,
“there is the strongest moral ob
ligation to vote for the man
placed in nomination at the Na

during the preceding summer.”
Their votes are then sealed and
then mailed to the Secretary of
the United States Senate where
they are officially counted.
