PROPER SYSTEM
OF BOOKKEEPING
Value of Farmer Keeping Account
of Farm Management Same
as Business Man.

Farmers Bulletin 511 of the Depart
ment of Agriculture contains some In
teresting facts and recommendation
in connection with bookkeeping on the
farm. "Taat there are over six mil
lion farms in the country which utli
ize land, labor, and capital as means
of income making gives the author
the opportunity to discuss the subject
of the value of the farmer keeping ar
accurate and systematic account OF his
farm management the same as the
business man or the railroad mag
nate.
This bulletin is not an attempt tc
outline a system of bookkeeping foi
the farmer. 1t is rather discussion
of the principles which are applicable
to accounts on the farm. 1t is be
lieved that any farmer who studies
this bulletin sufficiently to grasp thes'
principles will be able to devise a sys
tenn suited to his particular needs.
Two important points must be con
sidered in an attempt at farm book
keeping, What does it cost to pro
duce farm products? BY selling al
market prices, what profit is made Oh
them?
"The problem of the farmer is tc
meet conditions on his own farm in
a way which will give him the greatest
net returns for his labor and the use
of his capital He should receive in
terest on his capital as well as wages
for his labor, but owing to the lack OF
proper records few farmers know
what wages they actually receive
There is reason to believe that the ma
jority of farmers are really living OIL
the interest of their investments rath
er than on the profits of their farms"
These suggestions are offered;
(1) Consider as one unit all that
may be termed real estate, as land
farm buildings, fences, bitches, etc.
whether the farm is rented or owned
by the operator.
(2) Do not consider that the far
mer or his family receive anything for
their labor unleps they. are paid in
cash the same as aired labor. If there
is a surplus at the sud of the year, it
is their compensation. In this way
the accounts will not be confused with
items not strictly cash.
GO Farm products used by the
household should not Ne credited to
the farm in the cash account along
with the products sold, but should be
taken care of separately"
