FARM MANAGE
MENT SCHOOLS
Will Be Held i'm Sheridan County
December LIST, End and 3rd.

Mr.. A. J. Copeland, Farm
Management Specialist for Mon
tana, has planned three Farm
Management schools under the
auspices of the Sheridan Coun-
ty Farm Bureau to be held at
the following places: Dec. 1st,
PlentyWood; Dec. End, Outlook;
Dec. 3rd, Dagn1ar Injecting
house,. These will be all day
meetings. All farmers who ex-
pect to attend these farm ac-
counting schools should write a
letter to the Farm Bureau of
flee, Plentywood, Mont, stating
that he expects to do so. Mr..
Copeland can only take care of
about Is farmers in one day.
Therefore those who enroll first
will be the ones who will re-
ceiye the attention.
The school will be conducted
on the regular labratory school
plan. Tables will be arranged.
Farm Account books will be
furnished and each farmer in
attendance will be directed in
entering a typical complete fin
ancial record in an account book.
They will also be given instruc-
tions in working out their tax
able income and Analysing the
entire record. The various
items will be taken up in logic
al order. The inventory at the
beginning of the year will be
inserted first followed by the en-
try Of the receipts and expenses
and the years business and fin
ally the inventory at the end of
the year. The large differences
in the Farm Incomes on farms
Of like natural possibilities are
recognized. Hence the use of
simple factors which can be ap-
piled to measure the efficiency
with which a farm is being OPP
Grated is something that many
farmers are beginning to feel.
They should have records if
they study their own farms in
O. business way. Enterprise cost
accounts will also be discussed.
All farmers should be sure to
arrive at 8 o'clock so that they
can all be started in on the
books at the same time.

very efficiently. 10000 bushels

fire occurred. The house realiz-

few accounts and losses that
need adjustment. During the

He thus follows a fundamen-
ally American policy of protect
ing the freedom of the citizen
and the only one likely to do
any good in the present crisis.
Kansas has followed his Lead
ership in spite of the odium
supposed to be attached to any
thing advocated or done by the
organized League farmers. And
Ohio has taken stepss in the
same direction. Unless. the
federal government does the
same thing in a few days on
a nationwide scale and opens
the mines a number of other
states may follow suit.
Attempts OF some North Da-
kota operators to keep their
mines idle through court action
are not likely to succeed. State
courts, being close to the peo-
pie, will probably stand by the
governor or the governors de-
claration of martial law may be
considered as making court ac-
ton out of place. General pub
lie opinion, which wants a solu-
ton at once, and the action Of
Kansas and Ohio count strong
ly on Governor Frazier's side.
The whole situation forces
naturalization of mines as in
evitably as war needs forced
government control of the rail
roads. But as in the, former
case the government has de-
layed necessary action to the
extent of seriously injuring the
whole nation.
