sized monkey chattering and scolding
from the next window sill. Down be-

by the unusual sight. and among the

by the fact that the monkey held his

tear it up. number plate, and all.
Run along, sonny, and deliver your

among the watchers. I'll stay till the
monkey is caught and keep your cap
for YOU"
Oats all right" said the messenger.
but de message is in me cap"
The monkey ran from window to
window trying to evade the volunteers
who rapidly organized a pursuit and
finally captured 1t. Its collar bore the
name Of William H. Benjamin of Sc
Pine street. Over the telephone Mr..
BENJAMIN said he bought the animal
from q South American sailor recently.
and 1t had escaped by christening its
chain in his office before he could take
1t to his home at Morristown. N. ]. Mr..
Benjamin called at the hall Of records
later and got his monkey.

WORK FOR FARM EFFICIENCY
There 10 No Excuse for Farmer Not
Taking Annual Inventory to Find
Just Where He Stands.

The two greatest problems In the
farming business today are to elimi-
nate the leaks or sources of loss and
ID dispose of the fafn products to the
hust advantage. While an intricate
g. stem of cost accounts would show
up the leaks such q system neverthe-
less is not feasible Tor the average
farmer because he has neither the
time nor the inclination for work of
this sort. However, there IL no ex.
cuse for any farmer not taking at least
an annual inventory. writes Stanley F.
Morse, in Denver Field and Farm. A
comparison of one year with that ia
ken the next, II properly done, will
show whether the farm is making or
losing money from year to year and
thus give an approximate idea Of
whether the ranch Is paying or not.
II the farmer then becomes more in
terested and wishes to leaKn more
about his farm operations. a cash &C
count may be instituted. The next
step beyond this is the detailed cash
account and daily work report. In the
former the charges are segregated &C
cording to the various departments
for which the money is spent. while
the daily work report gives the
amount of time spent upon the various
departments Of the place. This gives
the data for keeping an account with
each Of the farm departments.
The amount of time required for this
sort of work Is approximately as fol.
lows: Taking inventory not over one
day; keeping cash account less than
i've minutes a day; keeping detailed
cash account, daily work report and
department cost accounts not over ten
minutes a day. At the outside. then.
It would take $500 minutes a year or
sixty hours. worth not more than
twenty cents an hour or SIP dollars
worth of the farmers time to discover
perhaps that on one department alone
he was losing SIS or even $50. Would
II pay? AS for the marketing. do not
need to say that cooperation Is the
remedy.
Here in Arizona we are organizing
local associations and a state organi-
sation with the object of working to-
gether to solve all these problems. In
fact 1t seems probable to me that CO
operation also may be made to solve
the question Of farm efficiency by COM
bining several farmers, throwing their
tracts into one large business enter
prise which can be much more eco
nomically and efficiently managed
than a number of small farm units.
We enthusiasts believe that the time
Is Just arriving when the farmer will
come into his own and work in az
business-like a way as any other In.
dustry Is conducted One OF the
greatest powers in th,s campaign for
farm efficiency is the agricultural
press.

FARMER CHANGED HIS MIND
After Listening to AGENTS Description
Of His Farm He Decided He
Didn't Want to Sell.

The story is told Of a farmer who
decided to sell his property and listed
1t with a real estate agent, who wrote
a very good description Of the place.
When the agent read It over to the
farmer for his approval the old man
said: Read that again" After the
second reading the farmer sat for sew
eral minutes in a thoughtful mood and
then said: II don't believe want to
sell. I have been looking for that kind
Of a place all my life. and it never
occurred to me that>I had it until you
described 1t to me. No. don't want to
SELL"
This again emphasizes the fact that
it pays to take an inventory Of things
about you and to look ahead before
letting go Of the farm on which you
have put your best efforts for many
years.
