Though farming is the oldest bust
ness on earth, it is only in recent
wears that farmers are beginning to
realize that bookkeeping is as essen
tial in their business as in that of
bankers or merchants. Farm records
enable one to ascertain what progress
he is making, if any, and in what di-
rections. A farmer is entitled to inter
est on his investment and wages for
his labor. A good system Of accounts
would often show the farmer to be liv-
ing on the income from his invest
ment and receiging no rteurns for his
labor. He might find himself to be
losing money on certain crops and
making his more remunerative crops
pay the balance. If complete records
are kept for several years, the farmer
will be enabled to pre-determine from
his statistics very largely, what re-
turns he may expect.
The records kept by farmer need
not be an elaborate set of accounts,
such as might be used in the business
Of the merchant: few simple ac-
counts, requiring only few minutes
Of time each day, are all that are re-
quired. The most important single
account and the one with which any
system of accounts should be begun,
is the farm inventory. This should
be taken annually, preferably at the
beginning of the year of just before
the spring work opens. This account
alone will determine whether or not
the farmer is receiving the income he
should, but it will not determine which
of his crops is bringing the greatest
returns on the investment. To &C.
complish this he should keep simple
record of the cost of each crop, al
lowing a fair price for the labor of
men and horses.
Similar accounts should be kept
with live stock, e. g., horses, dairy
cattle, beef cattle, the most trouble
some item is the feed, but no item is
more important. The feed item may be
estimated by weighing the feed for
one day each month.
A summary of the various accounts
should be prepared at the end of the
year, as basis of comparison. and
for permanent record.
Farmers Bulletin No. 511, Farm
Bookkeeping" gives sufficient inform
alton to enable any farmer, though
not a trained bookkeeper, to keep all
the accounts needful.

Red Cross Seals

Denver, Nov. 24.-The annual sale
of Red Cross Christmas seals will be-
gin in earnest Monday after Thanks
giving. This is the fourth year that
these sales have been held in Colo
RADIO and the American Red Cross
hopes that this will be the greatest
year of all.
The money derived through these
sales is devoted entirely to the pre-
yention and cure of tuberculosis and
is spent here at home. Seal purchase
is a bullet against the great white
plague. The seals will be on sale
throughout the state.
Some Red Cross Seal Figures
Few people have any conception of
the magnitude of the Red Cross
Christmas Seal campaign. Here are
a few figures that will show what
gigantic movement this is. Already
lis, 100000 seals have been printed,
and practically that entire number
distributed to agents in almost every
state of the Union. Probably 49,
100000 more will be needed. Adver-
Using circulars, posters, cards, etc,
to the number of several millions have
also been distributed. 1t is estimated
that the army of paid and volunteer
workers engaged in selling the seals
number we'll over 100000. The ad-
vertising and publicity donated to the
campaign amount to several hundred
thousand dollars. Every effort is be-
ing put forth to sell 100000 seals, or
about one for every man, woman and
child in the United States.
