Farmers: Help Prevent Inflation by Asher Hobson , z |L i Cltairinan, I)i‘pt. o/ Agricultural . , J Eronomtsm W, • jWL,:> ’ University of Wisconsin '

FARMERS remember the "Silk Shirt" era of the last war. That era was marked by 75 cent butterfat. 20 dollar hogs, and 100, 200 and in some states 300 dollars an acre for farm land. Farmers also remember the "no shirt" era of the TTiirties — 25 cent butterfat, 5 dollar hogs, and land so low the mortgage took it. One way of keeping one's shirt after this war is not to buy too many silk shirts now, so to speak. There is an old saying to the effect that he who sleeps on the floor never falls out of bed. None of us want t<> sleep on the floor, but we should see to it that our beds arc not so high as to cause serious injury in case of a fall. Unduly high prices are likely to be followed by unduly low prices. I That is one reason why most people in responsible walks of life appreciate the necessity of acting now to prevent inflation. Farmers are equally concerned. Inflation is another term for unhealthy high prices. Inflation has a younger brother. He is a bad actor. His name is deflation. He has a habit of following his brother inflation. Deflation often means serious unemployment, lower property values, more tax delinquency, and mounting foreclosures. Add these together and the sum is farm relief. That is not the answer farmers want. Farmers can well afford to take steps now in an attempt to avoid that sort of a situation. But inflation is not easily handled after it arrives. One cannot build a cyclone cellar after the old clouds begin to roll. Then one has time only to grab the baby and run—with no place to go. Something like that is apt to happen when inflation strikes. The best way to handle inflation is to prevent its striking. What can farmers do* They can I help keep prices from getting out of hand by helping to hold prices

down now. If prices arc to be held in line, the pressure under prices must be removed. The Government cannot do this job alone. There are no anti-inflation white rabbits in the magician's hat. Only the concerted efforts of you and me can turn the trick. The forces causing prices to go ' up may be summarized in the statement that there is more money available for spending than there are goods and services to be bought. This is another way of saying that the demand for goods and services exceeds the available supply. Let us be specific. At the end of 1943 it was estimated that there were 42 billion dollars of spendable income in this country in excess of goods and services to be bought at the then existing prices. A year earlier the excess was 33 billion dollaTs. If prices are to be held in line this excess purchasing jaiwer must be brought down to the level of the supply of goods and services, or the supply of goods and services must be boosted in keeping with purchasing power. Farmerr are doing their utmost to increase the supply of agricultural products. In this way they are helping to prevent inflation. The other way in which they may help is to buy less. In general there are two ways of reducing consumer purchasing power. They are: Heavier taxes Voluntary savings The greater the voluntary savings the less the need for more taxes. Let us do it the voluntary way by buying more WAR BONDS and holding those Bonds until manpower, plant capacity, and raw materials are available for increasing the supply of consumer goods. Spending then will be less likely to boost prices through the ceiling Saving has always been an outstanding farmer trait. It is now a patriotic duty. U. S. Trranry Drfartmnl
