Pay debts and buy war bonds now to stabilize postwar years. Iowa State College economist W. G. Murray notes that after prior wars surplus farm income financed high priced land and buildings, then fell. In this war, farmers reduced mortgage debt and built reserves, with Ia farm mortgage debt rising from 660 million in 1914 to 987 million in 1918, 725 million in 1939, and 653 million in 1944.
