FARM RINGWOOD FARMER WARNED WAR BUYING bargains for Cash Will Prevail After Emergency. By H. C. M. CASE " at dgricultutml Kcomomict. CkfW Ot Agriculture, Unirrrsity ot Illinois) There will be plenty of bargains for those having the cash when the war emergency is over and farmers facing rising prices should keep this in mind. As improvement costs increase it may be well to postpone some improvements until costs are lower and labor and materials are easier to obtain, rattier than pay a high price now. In fact, future construction of this kind will help ° prevent a postdefense depression. Farmers will be tempted to overexpend their operations and investments in response to high prices, but nothing is more important to the farmer than careful financial plans, especially to farmers burdened with mortgages and other financial obligations. Farmers free of indebtedness with money to invest may still make some wise investments but should avoid heavy new obligations. The inflation of land values and of prices of other things farmers bought during the last war, is recalled, which later were paid for with farm products at greatly reduced prices. Many farmers lost title to their property because they were unable to meet their obligations. Current low interest rates, which are not assured for a long time in the future, may lead some farmers to overpay for land. While low interest rates bring a lower annual payment, usually they have the influence of raising prices of land and other commodities bought. Hence the purchaser in the end has a much larger principal to pay. For example, a 5 per cent $60 mortgage is much more favorable than a 3 per cent loan on $100. Although the annual interest paid is the same, the principal is $40 more in the latter case. In order to avoid the ill effects of a post-war depression, farmers were advised lo consider seven points: (1) Avoid land inflation by not purchasing at high prices; (2) avoid long term debts or obligations that fall due in large lump sums; (3) pay off current debts; (4) improve land to meet more easily post-war low prices; (5) provide better living conditions in the home; (6) create reserves by prepaying interest and principal on debts, as well as to provide good cash reserves; (7) postpone high-cost purchases until after the emergency, if possible.

G. Cash, extension dairy specialist of the University of Illinois college o( agriculture. For example, a cow requiring 10 pounds of a 15 per cent protein mixture a day to meet her needs could get the same amount of protein from 15 pounds of a mixture of equal parts of corn and cob meal and ground oats, but the cost would be greater and the cow probably would not produce as well because of the lack of balance between the protein and carbohydrates. A suitable mixture containing 15 per cent total protein could be made with 600 pounds of corn and cob meal, 4i)0 pounds ground oats and 200 pounds soybean meal, at a cost of $1.47 a hundred pounas (figuring corn at 70 cents a bushel, oats at 45 cents a bushel and soybean meal at $2.50 a hundred pounds, and adding a grinding charge of 10 cents a hundred pounds for corn and oats). Ten pounds of this mixture would supply m pounds of protein and would cost 14.7 cents.
