KEEP FARM RECORDS
TO SHOW ACTIVITIES
Cash Accounts, Properly Assem-
bied, Are of Importance.
Often Overlooked Projects Produce
Nearly as Much Money as Obvi-
ously Important - Carefully
Avoid Sudden Changes.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
When a record is kept of all the
money taken in and spent on the farm
at the close of the business year the
cash accounts can be assembled under
headings that will show exactly what
branch of the farm activities produced
the dollars and what each required in
the way of cash expenditure to keep
going. Some farmers are apt to judge
OF the Importance of the various farm
projects by the time it takes to put
them through. To such, a complete
cash record for Il year, properly as
Sombled, will be an eye-Opener. Often
seemingly unimportant things on the
farm, such as the flock of poultry, pro-
du1e nearly rs much net cash as the
OBVIOUSLY important. The years cash
summary helps the farmer to get
better perspective of these things.
In using such records as an aid to
future plans, hasty conclusions should
not be drawn, nor should snap judg-
GtntS be taken. The fact that the
hogs or the corn crop brought in the
most net money last year is no reason
for assuming that all the activities of
the farm henCeforth should be devoted
to the sole purpose Of hog or corn
raising. 1t may be that the keeping
Of cows was partly responsible for
making the hogs SO productive OF net
cash, or that the growing Of wheat,
clover, or other crops in rotation with
corn made the latter crop much more
profitable than it would have been If
grown alone. Similar conditions will
be met with on all farms, and there
fore no sudden changes should be
made on the basis OF what a few ac-
counts may show.
On the other hand, a single years
figures will occasionally Indicate that
something is radically wrong; will
show where the net expenses of one
farm enterprise is a great drain on the
net cash returns made by the others.
Al. phases Of such an enterprise
should be carefully studied and I'M
les, the losses can be assigned to
S0rle reason, such as a bad season,
temporarily adverse market cOndi-
tons, epidemics, or similar unusual
conditions, it may often be dropped
with profit.
Comparison of the annual figures
year by year is mother source CT profit
from the use of accounts, since b."
such comparison a true perspective
and insight into the makeup Of the
business is gained.

FARM MACHINERY GREAT AID
How One Farmer by Fully Utilizing

Farm machinery makes it possible in
some places and at some times for one
man to do the work that two did be-
fore.

men.
ON another farm there were two
men on one wagon spreading manure
with forks, while close by another
farmer with three horses and a ma

On the top floor of GIL Washington
street, New York city, is one of the
most interesting kitchens In the world,
presided over by a Chinese woman
doctor She recently spent six months
in a trip to China to study and ana
lyze the soy bean. DR.. Yamei Kin, for
that is her name, says that the protein
contained in the soy bean is equal to
that Of meat and is of great value to
persons who cannot safely eat meat.
1t is q replacer Of meat-a sort of
vegetable cheese. 1t forms no acid. 1t
is an alkaline form of protein. Com
bned with hash or any form of meat
leavings it forms wonderful food
for diabetes, as the curd contains no
starch. When you eat "chOp suey,"
chow mein" and other dishes in Chi
nese restaurants, the salty black
sauce served with the food is made
from soy beans. 1t is by no means
simply a condiment. 1t is as nutri-
tIouS as meat gravy. Excellent
cheese can also be made from them.
Doctor Kin says that she can make
roquefOrt cheese that smells and
looks like the real thing. She says
further that as the public becomes edu-
Gated to the Obliging "soy" it will take
its place at the head Of the process
sion Of American products. In all the
world there is not a more misunder-
stood vegetable than the soy bean,
says Doctor Kin.

Roye is being pressed closely from the

Turn to Kerensky

Washington, Aug. 13.-Kerensky, one.
time hero Of the Russian revolution, IS
being groomed as the possible leader to
drive out the bosheviki and reestab-
lsh his country, it was indicated today.
He is about to go to Archangel, IL IS
learned authoritatively to throw his
weight with the new government of the
northern province. Observers in some
quarters expect an attempt to extend
this government under Kerensky's lead
ership to all of Russia.
1t is doubtful, however, just how al
lied governments would take to Keren-
sky as the new Russian leader, although
some groups in France, Great Britain
and America are working in his favor.
Kerensky recently planned to come to
America to enlist President Wilson S aid
in restoring Russia, but preparations Of
the allies made this unnecessary, Rus
sian officials here said today.
Reports charging Kerensky with being
pro German, bolshevik and friend Of
Lenine and Trot9ky were stoutly denied
by Russians here today. They declare
Kerensky is trying to help build the an
ti-bolshevik government in northern hus
sia which is expected to replace the
entire Lenine regime in Russia.
The latest proclamation Of this gov
ernment was received with interest IN
diplomatic circles. Coming at the time
when Lenine appears about to totter fin
allv, and along with reports that Keren-
sky plans to go to Archangel, this proc
lamation gave hope that az last sta
BILE government in Russia is in sight
Some OF Kerensky's friends are mem
bers of this new government, it is re-
ported and it is along the conservative
democratic lines which Kerensky him
self tried to carry out under the con
stitutional assembly.
Just who is chief leader in the new
Archangel government is not yet clear
but NJ. Zuboff, assistant mayor Of the
city of. Vologda and one of the signeri
Of the new government proclamation has
been mentioned before this to the Am
erican government as a strong man.
Whether the growing strength Of thu
new party has forced Trotsky and Len
inc. bolsheyist leaders, to flee, as re
ported, is not known here. But even Il
! they have fled, it is considered unim
portant as regards the future Of the Dol
shevist movement. There is strong sup
position in official circles that thes'
two are not really the leaders of tn
bolsheyist at all and while they hav
continued to pose as such leaders, thei
only real function for some time ha
been that of German agents.
Their departure would not kill or eve
seriously disorganize the bolshevih OF
fieials here think.

ing TO counter attack, although some.
what feebly
This situation is the natural result OF
the necessity for bringing up additional
French big guns An artillery barrage
today began to take the place Of the
heavy machine gun fire from the bochcs.
They are also using quantities of
mustard gas.
Some idea of the speed Of the French
advance yesterday can be obtained by
, the experience of general, one oi
whose regimnts was held up by well plac
ed machine guns. His automobile swept
past by the men, using depression al
the roadside.
"You're going well, " he cried. 'ThC
boches can't hold you any more. Como
on"
Three hours later the regiment ha6
advanced seven kilometers (four and {
half miles.)
