KEEP HAREsr REcoRDs

The value Of keeping farm records
cannot be overestimated. The farmer
who knows the operating costs and
the financial results Of each farm en-
terprise is on the road to financial
success, for such a knowledge dis
closes leaks in business operations and
displays in an accurate manner the
relative proftableness Of the vari-
Gus enterprises on the farm.
To keep a complete record Of every
transaction embracing labor, financial l
accounts, and crop yields will seem at
6rst to be almost wholly impossible,
yet it is surprising how the habit Of
keeping those records will become es-
tablished if the first record attempted
is simple one.
At present very interesting and
profitable record to work upon is a
harvest record of the different grain
crops. The accompanying form shows
how simple such record is. It can
readily be seen that such a record,
while it does not constitute a coN-
plete record of the cost Of the crop,
! shows the farmer how much it cost to
thresh the grain. IS
The value Of this record lies in the
knowledge obtained regarding farm
crops and is the incentive which arises
to increase crop yields and to keep
more complete records of cropping
operations. When the value eI: the
farm record sheet, is realized and the
habit Of keeping records has become
established, more complete records
win be used, which will place the farm,
eventually, upon strict business
