MAKE THE FARM PAY

Farm record books are on the market,
selling all the way from ten cents up to
five and seven dollars each. Usually
however, the difference in cost is not 40
much difference in the utility or con
venience Of the book as it in a differ
ence in quality Of paper, binding and
selling cost.
One would naturally expect to pay
more for book with high grade paper,
leather binding and fancy cover than
for book the same size but with a
poorer grade of paper and pasteboard
or paper cover. Also one would expect
to pay higher price for a book which
was being sold by man who drove ont
in an automobile to get his order than
il he went into town and bought tho
book from the book store.
Record books bought nuder these
conditions are seldom used. The farmer

because he was especially anxious to
The Glenwood post., 1919-02-08

keep records, but because the other
fellow was a good salesman.
There is q lot of difference between
this case and the case where a man
makes up his mind that he wants to
keep records and decides for himself
what kind of book he wants. This
man will very likely succeed in keep
ing records. The other man may start.
but it ism It long before the record book
becomes a plaything or scrapbook fo-
the children.
The man who wants to know more
about his business should first decide
whether or not he will take the time
and trouble to write his record as it
occurred during the whole year. He
must not be fooled with the thought
that keeping records is a snap. 1t is
work just the same as any other chore.
To start record and not complete it is
as bad or even worse than not starting
at all. But with his mind made up to
kind of records he wants to keep,
whether of crops, livestock, labor, feed,
ETC., and then get book properly ruled
and of convenient size for keeping
such record.
The page should have columns up and
down on the right hand side for writ
ing the value of items and on the left
hand hide for the date. It is also desir-
able to have lines running across the
page for convenience in writing.
There should be room enough to al
low at least two pages for each part Of
the farm business with which a record
is kept, as horses, cattle, corn, wheat,
etc. This will permit the expenses and
receipts on each class of livestock or
crop, to be kept in separate columns.
Then at the end of the year by adding
up each column the total spent and re-
ceived for cattle or corn or wheat or
mined.
In addition to this there should be
eight or ten pages for the inventory
and miscellaneous notes.
Thus, if record is to be kept with
horses, cattle, hogs, poultry, corn, wheat,
hay and labor, he should reserve At
least sixteen pages for these items, two
for each, and with ten pages for in
ventory and notes, the total would be
twenty-six pages.

THE REORGANIZATION OF
THE FARM BUREAU

The need of an organization of farm
ers, rightfully empowered to speak au-
thoratively, has. long been realized and
several interested efforts have been
made to meet this need, but for various
reasons the desired progress has not
been made. But never before have
there been paid workers in the agr;-
cultural centers in the United States az
there are today. Approximately $500
out of the 1886 agricultural counties IN
the United States are now served by
agricultural agents. Some 1,SOO Of
these counties are also served by homs
demonstration agents. The total num-
ber of men and women engaged in these
branches of work is more than 5000.
With these paid workers throughout
the United States, the organization Of
the farm bureaus and the federation Of
these into state and national organizA-
tions will be comparatively easy, and
the possibilities of such an organiEa.
tl0n are unlimited.
The organization is not perfected as
yet, but is coming and the people Of
Garfield county should organize ths.-
selves and be in position to promote
this work. Meetings for the reorgaa-
ization Of the Garfield Count Fasw
Bureau will be held in the county ~

AIR RAID DAMAGE
TO LONDON
Continued from page ~

Of mist.
The first night visitor came Septem-
ber 4, 1917, and went away without
raving dora any mischief. Three weeks
later, when squadron advanced to an
attack, barrage was in action. Those
that got through hit the Bedford hotel
in Southampton row and wrecked a
shop in Kong's Cross road.
There were five raids between Sep
tember 25 and October 1. One of the
craft, September 25, emptied its cargo
of bombs within narrow area of
crowded streets abutting Old Kent road,
doing some damage to property and
causing several deaths. Officers quar-
ters in Chelsea hospital were wrecked
by a 5OO-pound bomb October 4, wher
damage was done to the Grosvenor road
railway fridge.
October 10, misty night, Zeppelin
fleet made trip to England which
proved unhappy for itself. Only one of
the number reached London, on which
it dropped three heavy bombs, one OF
them in Piccadilly Circus, damaging
the shop of Swain Edgar and caus-
ing casualties in crowd waiting there
for an omnibus; another damaging
houses in Camberwell and the third
wrecking house property in Hither
Green. Five of the fleet, having &C.
complished nothing in England, were
brought down intact in France, on the
trip homeward, when others were seri,
ously damaged. There was an early
morning raid on Dullwich September g.
with small results.
Raiders December is, 1917, dropped
a bomb whi"l narr ,wly missed Charing
Cross hospital and demolished a shop
in Agar street. Another bomb killed
several persons on the Thames en-
bankment and damaged Cleopatra 5
Needle. A third set fire to a piano
factory in Clerkenwell road.
A raid of January 2s, 1918, partially
wrecked the Oldhams printing estab-
lishment in Long Acre, in the basement
of which many persons had taken
shelter. Machinery and debris from
the upper floors fell into the basement
killing Al persons and injuring 169.
The same night bomb almost destroy
ed the old French flower market,
Covent Garden, and another fell in o
side street near the Savoy hotel. Feb
ruary II the Midland Grand hotel, st.
Pancras, was damaged by three bombs,
one of which brought down the tower
spires.
Then came in swift succession a
series of raids, the most memorable of
which was on the moonless night of
March 7, 1918. This was the "Aurora
Borealis." A 600-pound bomb on that
occasion proved very destructive to
property in Mazda Vale, where six
houses were destroyed and several hun
dred damaged. Mrs. Lena Ford, all
American, author of "Keep the Home
Fires Burning" was among those
killed that night by the raiders.

Debate to be Renewed Monday With Further
Attacks on MIR. Wilson for Withholding
French Treaty.

He probably will make no rear plat
form speeches, combining his 1d-
dresses to the larger Cities Not
more than one or two stops will be
made enroute to the Pacific coast, II
was believed.
It was also learned that the presi.
dent has written to Senator Lodge,
chairman of the foreign relations
committee, giving information re-
auested by the senate on peace
treaty negotiations. The letter will
be made public when Lodge receives
it, 1t was stated. 1t was an invita-
tion for Lodge to visit the white
house, it was made clear.
The president had no conferences
scheduled with republican senators
for today. This lent credence to the
view held In many quarters that Will
son will not invite all republican
senators. as he originally intended.
He met two yesterday and none the
day before.
Wilson will make speeches on his
way to San Francisco, where he in
tends to welcome the new Pacific
fleet on August 15, it was learned.
The date OF his departure is still un-
certain.

played golf this morning for the

Wilson Takes Initiative.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-President
Wilson took the initiative today in the
fight over the ratification of the peace
treaty. He planned to go to the
capitol-for the third time since his
return from Europe-to confer with
democratic leaders.
He wrote a letter to Senator Lodge
opposition leader, answering requests
from the senate for information and
data on the Paris peace conference
proceedings.
He let it be known that he does not
favorably regard reservations to the
treaty. This hint from the white
house, coming soon after Senator
Spencer submitted five tentative res
ervations for Wilson's consideration,
was regarded as significant.
The president also let another day
go by without scheduling any more
conferences with republican senator's.
Meanwhile the senate took dav
eff from debating the league, but OPP
ponents and proponents were busy in
their offices whipping in shape series
of hot speeches for next week,
Opposition leaders were eagerly
awaiting publication Of Wilson'S letter
to Lodge as it was expected to reveal
Wilson's present attitude toward SEN
ate demands.
If it is considered Objectionable. it
may call forth comment on the senate
floor.
