The answer to this question should depend in large measure upon the nature of the debt and whether or not it is current. If part of it is past due, and the borrower expects to experience difficulty in meeting past due payments, he probably should bring his debt into current position before investing in Bonds. If, however, his payments are current, there seems to be no reason why farmers should not buy as many Bonds as they are able. Most individual investors in government Bonds are carrying debt in one form or another, at rates higher than the Bonds will yield. This is as it should be if the purchaser is in an earning position which permits the raccumulation of some surplus, for we all owe it to our government to do our utmost in the financing* of the war, even though the transaction may result in our paying some extra interest on outstandig debts. Whlee n a farmer owes money, he is always concerned as to whether his crops will sell at prices which will enable him to repay his debt. When prices are high it is good business and conservative finance to reduce the debt as rapidly as {>ossible because when prices are ow, it takes more crops and more efforts to make the payments. 1 We should not forget, however, that a government Bond will pay off an equal amount of dollars of debt, no matter whether prices are high or * Whether prices are tow. It is, t&ercfare, a sound and conservative practice to buy government Bonds and lay them aside to make payments on existing debts when they fall* due. In fact, quite aside from the patriotic appeal, it is good business to buy Bonds rather than make pre-payments on debt, because the time may come when the ready cash is needed and the money tied qp in pre-pavmcnts cannot be returned. If this money is invested in Bonds, it can be converted into cash to meet any ^ needs which may arise. If everyone followed the policy of buying no War Bonds until their ,debts were paid, few Bonds would be sold to the public. We have an obligation to help finance this war which is vastly more important than the income we may receive on the investment of money in War Bonds. Farmers are finding it impossible to maintain their machinery and buildings in a satisfactory state of repair. They are finding that they cannot replace worn-out equipment except at excessively high cost. It would seem to he sound and conservative business practice to lay aside money to make the repairs and replace worn-out equipment when material and machines are again available. No safer place can be found to lay aside money for such purposes than in government Bonds. Every time we buy a Bond we are not only assisting in financing the war, but we are also doing our bit to prevent that most drehded economic disaster called inflation. If each one of us would invest as much as we could in government Bonds, the danger of inflation would be - Citrus Wastes Arizona citrus growers have found a way to solve the problem of disposing of grapefruit hulls from the state's three largest juice .^nneries and at the same time show a neat profit on the transaction. These hulls amount to 60 per cent of the fresh fruit weight and it has cost from $3,000 to $4,000 a seasor\ to have them ""hauled sway. Fror»» now on, however, the procedure will be different. The cannery has arranged to sell this wasn? material for $7.40 a ton, dr^ weight, which will average p^out $1 per ton wet. Thus, instead v,f being a liability, the hulls become another asset. H. E. Tcdl«.ck, a Calif^inian, has been working with peels for some time and is responsible for the present arrangements. He found that ft, by spreading the hulls out on the Arizona sands and letting the sun do the work, a very palatable stock feed resulted. His method is much cheaper than mechanical dehydration and tests made at the U.S.D.A. laboratory at Albany, Alameda county, Calif., indicate that the sundried product is a better, more nutritious feed. . After the hulls are thoroughly dry they are put through a hammermill to reduce the volume and also to make them more palatably , . greatly reduced. V 0. S. Treasury Drpartmtnt Cooking Odors When the house reeks of unpleasant cooking odors, it's usually due to overcooking or cooking at too high temperature. Strong~ flavored vegetables--. the onion, the turnip, and members of the cabbage family--give off very little odor if cooked until just tender, not soft and mushy. Boiling for a half hour or so breaks down the sulphides they contain, causing a strong flavor and odor, a dark color and lo^s of food value. When these vegetables are young and "new," they jive off little or no odor even if cooked with very little water. When older and stronger, odors can be avoided generally by using a larger amount of water, leaving the lid off the kettle and cooking only long enough to make them tender. Orchids Reveal Iron Ore ; .

Welcome Raglan Sleeve The raglan sleeve is good for the woman wishing to conceal big arms. Short sleeves are a poor choice, but just • below - the • elbow and long sleeves fitted easily above and snugly at the wrist are more becoming. Sheer fabrics should not be used. Small thin arms may be camouflaged by a short sleeve, not too generously cut, which adds width to the upper arm. A three-quarter or below- elbow sleeve also gives an illusion of width.

Hog carcasses will chill more rapidly if the heads are removed, the carcasses split, and the heavy blanket of leaf fat pulled o,ut.
