Take An Inventory

Every farmer should ascertain at
the beginning of the year just
where he stands financially. Dur
ing the year Just closed property
has been bought, sold, and ex.
changed. 1t is only by making an
inventory that the farmer is able
to determine whether he is worth
more or less than he was a year
ago. He should know whether he
is conducting a losing or paying
business and this can be deter
mined only by comparing each
years possessions with those of
the year before.

extensive repairs that are neces-

Father Peeters, it was finally de-
cided to organize the Church Re-
