printed stationery bearing the name
Of the farm, with envelopes to match.
If the farm Is not named an appropri-
ate name should be selected. A SIM
pie, though attractive and businesslike
letterhead can be printed without
much cost. 1t should give the name
and location of the farm, the farmers
name, and simple statement of the
business. Elaborate and highly col
ored letterheads embelllshed with Illus
trations of buildings, fruits or animals
should be avoided.
Blank statement forms or invoices
to fill In and inclose with shipments
should be supplied. Persons receiving
produce by mail wish to know the
price Of the shipment. and by the use
Of printed statement forms the ship
per can furnish this information with
out much trouble.
Labelling Parcels.
Each parcel must bear the name and
address Of the shipper, the name and
address Of the person for whom in
tended, and the nature Of the con-
tents, such as "Fragile" or "Perish-
able" AS tags frequently are torn of.
1t is best to have this information
written or stamped directly on the
outer wrapper or container. II the
only mark of identity of producer and
consumer is on tag and the tag is
lost, the parcel can neither be deliv-
cred nor returned to the sender.
Producers who have business enough
to justify them may secure gummed
labels worded somewhat as follows:
From
Fair View Farm,
John Brown, Proprietor,
Blank, Virginia.
PERISHABLE.
EGGS. rN
The wording may be changed to suit
the product shipped, changing Eggs"
to Poultry" Butter" or "vegeta-
bles." and "Perishable" to Fragile"
as the case may require.
These labels, II properly applied.
should not come off. They will serve
as an advertisement and may result In
inquiries from other customers.
Business Relations With Customers.
Once contact has been made and
shipping begun 1t Is important that
proper business relations be estab-
lished and maintained, for on these de-
pend success. The difficulty frequently
met in obtaining the first order makes
1t important for the producer to use
businesslike methods to retain the
trade that he secures.
Whether a person Is successful In
parcel-post marketing depends largely
on his adaptability to this work. II
routine and detailed work Is distaste-
full to him he may never learn how to
keep up business relationship. Thou
sands of persons who have been sue
cessful in obtaining customers have
been unsuccessful in keeping them.
The most important feature In a
business relationship is square deal
Good grading Of produce, strict busi-
ness honesty, prompt attention to cor
respondence and orders, and satisfac-
tory adjustment of complaints are
needed. The consumer as well as the
producer should do his part In these
matters.

GREEN MANURE CROPS

The New Jersey experiment
station calculates that two. crops
Of green manure contain as
much phcsphoric acid and pot
ash and nearly as much nitro
gen as 20 tons of stable manure.
Rye, soy beans and clovers are
crops most often used. In the
gardening section of the state
rye is planted as a cover crop
as soon as potatoes and early
vegetables are out Of the way.
This is plowed under and takes
the place of some of the barn.

hauled.

TABLE SCRAPS MAKE EGGS

There Is a certain amount of
table scraps and kitchen waste
which has feeding value but
which, If not fed, finds its way
into the garbage pail, In every
household, no matter how eco
nomical the housewife.
Poultry Is the only class of
domestic animals which is suit
able for converting this waste I
material, right where 1t is pro-
duced in the city, into whole
some and nutritious food In the
form of eggs and poultry meat.

Implements Should Not Be Left In
Field Where They Were Last Used.

plows, the steel teeth or sweeps Of cul-
tivators, should be smeared with cup
grease or wagon grease so as to pre-
vent their rusting. Put the implements
under cover, where they will be pro-
tected from the weather. Oftentimes
the implement can be taken apart or
the wheels removed to economize space
for storage.

fowls, old or young, which appear

Made War on Barberrv

Nearly 100000 common barberry
bushes we're destroyed during the
last fiscal year in an effort on the
part Of A. G.. Ruggles, state entomo-
gist, E. NJ. Freeman, head of the
plant pathology division Of the Min
nesota Experiment station, and A. C.
BRAKEMAN, representing the federal
government, to stamp out the COM
mon barberry as promoter of the
stem rust of wheat. These figures
are taken from the report of Mr.
Ruggles as state entomologist, which
has just been submitted tn GOV. J. A.
A. Burnquist. $4,000 of the bushes
were from ordinary paintings in the
city, town and country, and the re-
mainder from the nurseries of the
state. Mr.. RuggIes sayo that the
good effect in the grain-Growing in
dustry can already be noticed.

Farmers Like Account Books


The income tax law requires that
farm receipts and expenses date from
January 1 to December 81. Farm &C
counts, therefore, should be started
January 1.
To aid farmers in keeping &C
counts, w. L. Cavert and S. B. Gle
land, Of the agricultural extension
division, University of Miresota, some
time ago prepared a simple farm &C
count book, which has met with
favor among those who have used it.
One farmer writes:
II got an account book at the short
course two years ago and am sur
prised to learn what a farmer can
do about his own business by keep
ing such a simple and easy system of
records"
In order to find ones labor income
or the amount that one has earned
for his years work above business
expenses and interest on his invest
ment, it is necessary to take an ar
nual inventory and to keep a record
of receipts and business expenses.
Convenient forms for such records
are provided in the extension divi-
sion account book. Taking an in
ventory is an easy job. Most farm
ers report that it takes them less
than two hours.

COUNTY AND STATE TO

In it's work of collecting the rec
Ords of Minnesota's participation in
the war, the Minnesota War Records
Commission has in view the building
up Of both county and state war COL
IectiOns. The work is authorized and
financed by the Public Safety Com
mission. The county wal collections
are to be housed permanently in
libraries, cOurthOuses, or in other
suitable repositories in the several
counties, and as a rule at the county
seats. The state war collection is
being assembled at the Historical
Building in st. Paul under the perm
anent care of the State Historical So
ciety.
According to this plan Stevens
County, for example, will ultimately
possess in the county wa. collection
assembled by the County War Rec
ords Committee, soon to be organized
here, complete records of the war
services performed both at home and
abroad by the various individuals,
organizations, and communities of
this county. Such a collection will
include the record Of every Stevens

Million Farmers in Bureaus

According to estimates received at
University Farm, st. Paul, from the
United States department of agricul-
ture, there are in the United States
100000 farmers who are taking an
active part in farm bureau work
Minnesota is we'll represented in this
large number of up-to-date farmers,
but there is room for large number
in these organizations in Minnesota,
and an effort is being made to fill the
room. Minnesota has a farm bureau
in every county, so there is no rea-
son why any one should not join the
great movement for farming that
pays.
