PLOW POTATO LAND
EARLY THIS YEAR.

Potato land for the spring crop
should he worked during the winter.
Ordinarily this early working is adj
visable. but it is especially so this
year. The profits from potatoes de-
pend upon the earliness Of the crop.
Farmers have depended upon potash
to make an early growth but owing
to the shortage of potash and the UNI
certainty Of the supply they cannot
rely on it this year.
A. =. Spencer, of the University OF
Florida advises that the land be plow-
ed early to get the vegetable matter
well incorporated and rotted in the
soil. While this practice will not sup
ply potash, It makes other growth
conditions much better so that the
shortage of potash Is not so keenlH
felt. This early cultivation is espe-
cially good where some of the slowly
available potash materials are used.

EVERY FARMER SHOULD
TAKE AN INVENTORY

bookkeeping on the farm is just as
important as It is in any other busl-
moss. Farming I'm the United state
Is a slip-shod business, because few
farmers keep accounts. The simplest
form Of bookkeeping is I'm the inyen-
tory. and the farmer can take that at
least.
DR.. w. c. Etheridge, professor OF
agronomy in the University Of Flori-
da College Of Agriculture, has been
receiving inquiries concerning metI-
DDS Of making the inventory. He is
prenaring a form to he sent out to all
who desire 1t. The form will contain
such heads as grain. hay, other farm
nroducc, horses mules, cattle, hogs
poultrv. machinery, implements ana
Miscellaneous subjects.
The farm inventory should he tax
en- at least once a year. 1t should be
taken Mt about the same time each
wear. 50 that an intelligent compari-
son Of the farm wealth can be made.
Some farmers take an inventory SEM
ANNUALLY.
DR.. Ethcrldre suggests that about
half a day will he sufficient for tal-
ing the inventory on the average
farm. Time for this can usually be
found about the first Of the year. Tho
wise farmer win not stop with an in
vcntory. however. An inventory viii
show the profits and losses and II
wifi show whether gains have been
made. but It will not show where the
gains or losses have been made. A
simple system Of accounts Is necessa-
nv to stop the leaks and eliminate the
poorer animals and Improbable
crops. Several such systems have
been worked out and several colleges
have issued books for keeping ac-
counts.

co. OPERATION REDUCES
COST OF MACHINERY

There are many machines which
are needed on the farm, but they are
either too costly or the amount OF
work to be done will not justify the
necessary outlay. Much of this ma
chnery is idle most Of the year, and
farmers do not feel like having the
purchase price tied up when it could
he employed otherwise. The hay press
is good example. Unless a man
has large farm and much hay he
cannot afford to purchase a press for
his own use.
There are many other implements
in the same class, which are necessa-
ry but too expensive for the ordina'
~ farmer. Clarence Poe, editor of
Progressive Farmer, gives list Of
machinery which can be bought and
used comparatively in his new book
How Farmers Cooperate and Dou-
BILE Profits. 4 few which apply to
Florida are mentioned;
Stump puller,
Manure spreader,
Corn harvester,
Pea huller,
Spraying outfit,
CCwpea thresher,
Traction plow,
Lime and fertilizer distributor,
Potato digger,
Stalk cutter,
Grain drill,
Peanut picker.
Threshing machine,
Road drag,
Farm level,
Cane mill,
Hay press.
Others, such as concrete mixer, silo
forms, lard press, pumping station,
light station, dipping watts, could be
added.
Purchasing machinery is one Of the
many ways in which farmers can CO.
operate. They can buy other farm
supplies in this way. They can form
marketing associations, mutual insu-
rance companies, COW testing associ-
ations. cooperative creameries rural
credit societies. packing houses, grain
elevators, egg circles and various
other cooperative enterprises.
Extension workers from the Uni
vcrsit of Florida report that farmers
are inquiring n great deal about CO.
operation, and it is towards helping
them that the College of Agriculture
has introduced correspondence
course in cooperation. In this course
all the necessary steps for organizing
cooperative association, together
with constitution, bylaws, parliament
tnry rules and all instructions for
clubs and proceedings are given. In
addition the organization and histories
Of societies in the United States and
Euurope are given.
