Agriculture has become more

years and the average farmer has
taken advantage of every new piece
of machinery put on the market

production.
An item of equipment becoming
a necessity of farms these days is

Farm Efficiency, Assets
Are Highest in History
| Financially and physically, Amer
ican agriculture is in the strongest
position in its history to meet the
production demands involved in the
free world’s rearmament effort, de
partment of agriculture figures re
veal.
One of the significant elements of
agriculture’s current strength is
j the growth of farmers’ savings over
the past decade comoined with the
I relatively small rise in their aggre
gate debt. At the beginning of this
I year, farmers as a group held near
j ly $22 billions in bank deposits,
I currency. US. savings bonds, and
I investments in cooperatives. This
was more than four times the $5
billion total of such liquid assets
at the start of 1940. These figures
j do not include other savings such
as life insurance. Farmers are
j known to have greatly increased
\ their life insurance protection in
recent years.
Aggregate farm debt at the be
ginning of this year was estimated
at just under sl3 billions, as against
$lO billion or January 1, 1940. All
this increase has been in the non
real estate category, a large part
of it due to government crop loans.

The January cold wave that

in the cattle raising history of the
Okeechobee area. Thousands of

weak to get on their feet. Many of
them died before the freeze was
over.

Well, I’m back in good old Per

it surely is a good feeling too.
Especially after some of the ele

take the wind and the rain and
the hail and the 40 degree nights
and the 105 days, but I when it
gangs up and says let’s give it all
to ’em in one big dose along with
flash floods and freezing cold,
I’m ready to come for home.
This was just a baby flood
compared to the one in Kansas
now, of course, but it was rugged
enough—they call them cloud

to drown out and leave us
stranded in the middle of an end

that anyone would come along to

my sister, a friend, and I, not

led to take to the road, walk,
I I swim or drown. I can see us yet,

they would go, our shoes held

It was not funny at the time. I

we would get out of it alive,

and my feet had been wet so
