An inventory taken once year Will
show the net worth of the farm. By
comparing these inventories from year
to year the exact progress Of the bust
ness can be found. Many times a
farmer feels discouraged at the end of
the year because his cash is short,
when an inventory taking in growing
stock and crops, and unsold products
would show that he had made nice
profit for the year
In taking an inventory the farmer
must go over all of his property at
least once year. In this way his at
tention is called to the condition of
his stock, machinery Or supplies; to
needed repairs, and to missing tools
that have been borrowed and not re-
turned. Any time before the rush OF
work starts Is a good time to go over
the farm property and make this list.
The next step in stopping the leaks
in the farm business is to keep rec
ord of receipts and expenses Of the
farm throughout the year. From these
and the inventory the farmer can fig
ure not only his net worth, but the
profits and losses as well. If you
don't quite understand how to do this
the farm management department of
the Mississippi A. and M. college will
explain it to you.

We'll Known St. Louis Bank CT Argues That America Must Give Credit to

Pttsburg, January 25.-The enormous loans made to the warning countries of Europe are good investments, according to Festus J. Wade. St. Louis banker, speaking at the afternoon session of the fourth annual convention of the National Foreign Trade council. which convened here today. He asserted that to develop foreign trade, American business men must develop credit among foreign na- lions.
 "There is misconception in the minds of the public concerning the loans to the warning nations of Europe, for beyond the peradventure of doubt these loans will be paid at maturity and they will prove prime investments for the public ( said MT. Wade. The warning nations, eou must remember, have at this time only three-fourths of l per cent Of thelr national wealth."
 MT. Wade declared the Vreeland-Al nrich bill averted a panic in this country jn 1914.
 He praised the federal reserve act and declared that while we may not wrest the financial supremacy of the world from Europe, we will be a potent factor fin it.'
 Other speakers at the afternoon ses- sion were Louis E. Pierson of New York, C. K Mcintosh of San Francisco, R. F. Jones of the Royal Bank of Canada, and Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston, who praised the federal reserve act.
