.KEEPASlMPLE FARM RECORD
(By c. E. Alfred. University of Ten
nessee, KnoXville.)

(By c. E. Alfred, University of Ten
nessee, KnoXville.)
It is very essential in the farming
business to keep a record of what is
being done. Each farmer should have
a simple farm account book in which
to enter all farm inventories, receipts
and expenses, Every farmer should
keep a record of his farm business,
and check it up each year.
If you are not making as large
profits as you would like, this should
stimulate you to keep such a record.
You can then study your own bust
ness and learn just what enterprises
and combination of enterprises pay
you the best under your local condi-
tions.
The winter is the best time to begin
an account. The time spent on such
an account will pay larger profits than
if spent in any other way.
