FARMING AND ACCOUNTS.
Extension Service of State College
 Ready to Give Help.

Farming is fast becoming recog- rized as a business and in order to realize the best possible returns it is necessary to have absolute knowledge of the business methods which apply to it. Keeping farm accounts and using them affords the greatest single Farming is no more a royal road to success than any other business and It takes as good judgment to make a success of it. Many farmers have as much or more capital invested than the average merchant besides having self supporting home which is in- timately associated. The merchant considers the investment in his buse- ness from a standpoint of whether it will bring him more money. There fore he must know what he is making if he is able to tell whether change is paying or not. For such inforrna- = tion he keeps accounts Just so with the farmer. only where the merchant is forced to close his doors through poor business methods the farmer is able to stay il the farming business a much longer time because of the fact that it continues to furnish him self with food. fuel and shelter
 Successful farmers will tell you that some system of accounts are ab- solutely essential in carrying on their business and practically all farmers thing, but the farmer who doesn't know. or worse yet. don't care, or won't try to know, is one who has a poor understa nding of his affairs. A farmer can work day after day on the farm and fatl to detect items which in a record book becomes conspicuous.
 Farm accounting is not 8 difficult matter. In fact it is often the short time required causes it to be over locked. Most farmers even though they be awake to the necessity of aE- counts arrange to enter receipts and exrenses together and make their dis trFou tions and summaries on rainy days.
 Simple farm accounting, rightly Used, make a valuable part of every farm business.
 The extension service of your state agricultural college will help you get started right, if you wish an account book or any ether assistance.-B. W. Mcdonald, Extension Farm Mana ge- roent, Connecticut Agricultural Col lege.
