Don’t Buy “Wildcats” 
Can You Afford to Speculate? 
E very week brings dozens of letters 
to American Agriculturist asking 
advice relative to investments. Ap¬ 
parently there are as many wildcat 
schemes being floated as ever. Farmers 
cannot afford to take these risks. H. E. 
Cook recently made the remark that if 
you have money to invest, why not in¬ 
vest it in your own business—a good 
idea. 
But many wish to have securities to 
fall back on in later life. If you wish 
to invest—then invest, do not speculate. 
Good securities do not pay excessive 
dividends. You never could and never 
will get “something for'nothing.” 
CHARGE TO PROFIT AND LOSS 
Financial DepartmentAbout two years 
ago I bought 100 shares in the Union Oil of 
Texas. A year later they wanted me to trans¬ 
fer it into the Rose Oil Company, which I did 
by sending my certificate and $.50. Now they 
want me to transfer it into the Petroleum 
Producers Association (sending 25 per cent of 
the face value of my holdings). This com¬ 
pany claims they are on a paying dividend 
basis. If I do not afccept this they say that 
my certificate in the Rose Oil Company is 
worthless. — R. E. C., New York. 
_You might as well consider your Rose 
Oil worthless. Certainly it won’t do you 
any good to send more money to put 
into the Petroleum Producers Associa¬ 
tion. The head of that association is 
the same Dr. Cook that created such a 
stir some years ago by announcing he 
had discovered the North Pole. As a 
matter of fact we have more faith in 
his Arctic adventures than in his oil 
enterprise. 
^ 
Financial Department : —In 1920 I bought 
100 shares of stock in Texas United Oil. In 
1921 1 was informed that the company had 
failed, but a banking company in Philadelphia 
gave notice that they were taking over the 
company and were going to try to put it on 
its feet, as it had failed on account of the 
rascality of its president. An assessment was 
made of 8 cents per share which amount I 
paid. I have never heard anything more of 
it since, also I have lost thaname of the bank¬ 
ing company. Can you find out anything 
about this matter?—E. H. G., Pennsylvania. 
We fear you will have to charge 
the money you put into this proposition 
to profit and loss. The stock is offered 
at 10 cents a share, but no one is ready 
to buy it at any price. Some day 
farmers will learn to leave oil stock 
alone. _ 
INVEST—DON’T SPECULATE 
Financial Department:—What is your 
opinion on the Greenwich Service Corporation 
(circular attached) 358 Fifth Avenue, New 
York City, in a general way as to their re¬ 
liability to be entrusted with handling of one’s 
money along the lines they are suggesting and 
their particular offer of Atlantic Fruit? — C. U. 
P.. New York. 
Our earnest advice is to have nothing 
to do with this proposition. If you 
want to speculate and have money to 
lose, you can buy Atlantic Fruit bonds 
for yourself. We advise you not to, 
but you, of course, can take a chance 
with your own money if you see fit. 
Incidentally in December the bond the 
Greenwich Service Corporation has 
offered to sell you for $360 sold on the 
Stock Exchange for $280. Of course, 
it is perfectly possible that the price 
will go higher than $360, and so you 
will make a profit and it is also per¬ 
fectly possible the price will go lower 
than $360, and then you will have a 
loss. There is no crime in speculation 
if you are perfectly able to lose, and 
if when you have lost what seems 
sufficient to you, you will stop. That 
is all there is to it. But in any case 
speculate for yourself and not through 
any service corporation, if speculate 
you must. _ 
GOOD INVESTMENTS FOR 
FARMERS 
Financial Department: — Can you advise me 
as to some good and safe investments that you 
think are perfectly safe, paying a rate of in¬ 
terest not less than 5 per cent, such as public 
utilities or something that pays dividends 
semi-annually, quarterly oi yearly? — P. 
M., Delaware. 
There are many good sound invest¬ 
ments paying 5 per cent or better. 
Such a preferred stock as American 
Bank Note, which is of $50 par and 
pays $3 a year in dividends and sells 
for about 55 to yield 5V2 per cent is 
an example. We think you would be 
entirely safe in buying this stock which 
is listed on the New York Stock Ex¬ 
change. Another higfh-grade invest¬ 
ment, in our opinion, is Jones & Laugh- 
lin Steel preferred, which pays $7 an¬ 
nually and sells for about 109 and 
yields 6.4 per cent. This also is listed 
on the Exchange and so has a good 
market, 
* sk ♦ 
Financial Department:—What can you 
tell me about investing money from $10,000 
to $20,000 in tax free investments. I know of 
the Government bond and war saving stamps 
and war bonds, but is there any that is safe 
and pays 4)^ or 5 per cent?—W. L., New 
"York. 
Why do you want tax free securi¬ 
ties? Unless you are subject to high 
surtaxes there is no object in buying 
tax exempt bonds. Probably the best, 
if you insist on having that class, are 
the bonds of the Federal Land Banks 
which yield 414 to 4% per cent. 
* ♦ * 
Financial Department:—I am a farmer in 
the coal, oil and gas belt of W. Va. There 
are wonderful opportunities offered here on 
paper, for investors, but I am on the ground 
and want none of them. I want first mortgage 
real estate paper, preferably on farms, but 
securities of this kind are scarce here. As I 
cannot be there to look after the business my¬ 
self, what I want is a safe conservative Gilt- 
Edged Real Estate broker to look after this 
for me. Who is he and what is his address? 
What do you think of Perkins & Co., Real 
Estate Brokers of Lawrence, Kansas?— J, B. 
S., West Virginia. 
The best investment for you are the 
Federal Land Bank bonds. These are 
secured by first mortgage on farm 
property and the Federal Land Banks 
answer to your description of a safe, 
conservative, gilt-edged investment. 
Sf* ^ ^ 
Financial Department:—Can you give me 
any information concerning the Calvert Mort¬ 
gage Company, Baltimore, issuing 2 year 6 
per cent certificates?—C. W., New York. 
We think these certificates are good 
investments. 
Giants 
in 
Streng,th 
When you build a 
new silo or rebuild 
your old one, make it 
a Craine—the strongest 
as well as handsomest silo made. 
Its three wall construction gives per¬ 
fect silage protection. Outside the 
wall of upright staves is an air-tight, 
water-proof, frost-defying inner wall 
of Sllafelt. Outside of both is the 
spiral Crainelox covering, of giant 
strength—no hoops, lugs, weak spots, 
repairs, but permanent protection for 
every inch of wall. 
You can rebuild an old stave silo Into 
a Craine, at half the cost of a new silo.

4 TIMES Around the World with ONE OILING 
100,000 Miles Without Stopping for Oil 
An inventor who could develop an automobile, a railroad car or any 
' other conveyance on wheels which would perform such a feat would 
be considered a wonder. But such is the record of regular 
accomplishment by the Auto-oiled Aermotor during the past 
eight years in pumping water. 
Did you ever stop to think how many revolutions the wheel 
' of a windmill makes? If the wheel of an Aermotor should roll along the surface 
► of the ground at the same speed that it makes when pumping water it would 
encircle the world in 90 days, or would go four times around in a year. It would 
travel on an average 273 miles per day or about 30 miles per hour for 9 hours each 
day. An automobile which keeps up that pace day after day needs a thorough 
oiling at least once a week. Isn’t it marvelous, then, that a windmill has been 
made which will go 50 times as long as the best automobile with one oiling? 
The Auto-oiled Aermotor after 8 full years of service in every 
part of the world has proven its ability to run and give the most reliable service 
with one oiling a year. The double gears, and all moving parts, are entirely 
enclosed and flooded with oil all the time. It gives more service wito less attention than 
any other piece of machinery on the farm. To get everlasting wind-miM satisfaction buy the 
Auto-oiled Aermotor, the most efficient windmill that has ever been made.
