MORE than 10000 owners of Liberty
W1 bonds and Victory notes have lost
their bonds either through theft,
through destruction by burning, or

The last official figures showed 1858
persons having lost their bonds, of
whom 6,038 were holders Of coupon
bonds. These figures are up to the
close of the last fiscal year.
For those who have lost their cou-

FARM INVENTORY Is
INDEX TO PROGRESS
Practicable Way of Answering
Important Questions.
Bulletin Recently Issued by Depart
ment Of Agriculture Enables Farm
er to Determine Exactly His
Financial Status.

What is the net worth OF your farm
business? Is II more or less than one
would imagine from q casual inspec.
tion Of your farm? Do YOU know for
sure whether you are going or coming
In financial standing?
These are important questions 10
the farmer. and questions that are not
so easily answered as would at first
appear. Farming is an intricate bust.
ness, and one in which returns from
investment are sometimes long de.
layed, so that progress cannot be &C.
%curately measured by the amount Of
money taken in a given time. Some
times cash income may be almost
wholly attributable to reduction In
other assets. so that In reality the re
suit Is like taking money from n
pocket and putting II in another.
The farm inventory. or property
list. offers the only practicable way Of
answering these questions. Once the
farmer has made a complete list Of
all his assets and liabilities and has
balanced them he knows Just what his
net worth Is, and when he has made
such a list annually he knows each
year whether he has gone forward or
back, and just how much has been the
increase or decrease In the net worth
of his business.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture has Just issued Farmers
Bulletin 1882 entitled "Farm Inven-
tories" In which are given detailed in
structions for making an inventory of
farm property and revising such a list
from year to year. BY using the sim.
pie system described in this bulletin
any farmer can determine exactly his
financial status and lay the founda
ton for a permanent system of &C.
counting. Without the farm inven
tory as a basis no system of account.
ing that might be chosen would be OF
any great use to the farmer.

winter frosts have a tightening effect
upon the soil, especially on clay soils.
The earliest and choicest vegetables
are harvested by the man who main
tains a few hotbed sashes and uses
them to start his garden. He is able
to handicap the frost line by several
weeks, and to set strong, w~ell-devel-
oped plants in his garden at a time
when his neighbors are planting seed.
The farm income is at its lowest
po.nt In the early spring. but it can be
increased considerably by the sale of
young plants grown In hotbeds and
ready for transplanting. Tomato, cab
bage, eggplant and pepper plants are
always snapped up when the first
warm planting days come, and they
are easily grown In the hotbed. A
little more space and a little more seed
than the grower needs for his own use
are likely TO bring good profits. Be
fore the ground freezes In the fall is
a good time to clean out the old hot.

Unless the soil used In the hotbed
Is to be exchanged for fresh earth II

cuat Of straw or leaves held down by
bits Of board TO keep it from blowing.
Some farmers find IT convenient to
use evergreen boughs instead of straw
for the outer covering.
Preparation Of Hotbed.
New hotbed pits should be dug so
that they will face the south, and the
location should be selected so that
the beds will he protected from the
cold north winds and late spring
srorms. Sometimes the earth taken
from the new pit Is suitable for use In
the hotbed. but this Is the exception
rather than the rule. A few loads "
leaf mold from the woods mixed with
the natural soil will often form a
smooth, rich stoneless mass which
gives an ideal hotbed filler.
The hack or north side Of the frame
Is usually from IL TO Is inches high.
while the south end is about eight
inches. so that the whole bed may have
pitch enough to get the sun upon all
parts. The standard hothed sash Is
handled by most dealers, and measures
three feet In width and six feet In
length. A frame just wide enough TO
support the sash seems TO be the most
satisfactory, though wider beds are
sometimes used with supporting ridges
placed at six-foot intervals. A well
painted cypress sash. glazed with q
good douhle-strength glass well set In
putty should give the careful gardener
II TO Is years service.
Heat for the hotbed Is furnished by
means of a he'd of horse manure 3 To
10 inches thick In the bottom of the
pit. Permanent hotbeds are otter
heated with coils Of vea or hot
water pines under the bed.
Hotheds require constant care 10
prevent their becoming o~verheated,
