Destroy the Burberry
And Save Your Grain Crop

If you saw an anarchist with a
blazing torch in his hand sneaking
through the grass to your ripe wheat
field, intending to set it on fire,
what would you do? If you saw
several of his companions in crime
sneaking to your granary with oil
and matches, what would you do?
If you saw mob Of wtld-eyed an
archists running amuck with fire
brands and destructive intent, what
would you do? You would shoot
the first, you would shoot as many
of the small group as you could,
and you would call for help to eX-
terminate the whole breed.
The common barberry is a red
handed anarchist bush. 1t has a
long career of crime behind it. 1t
has a longer and more terrible career
of crime before it if we don't put
a stop to it. 1t has destroyed bill
lEons of bushels of wheat and other
grains in the past. 1t will destroy
billions of bushels in the future
unless we destroy it. Denmark de-
stroyed the common barberry and
stopped the stem rust. Many farm
ers in this country have destroyed
their own bushes and rescued their
crops from ruin by the rust.
The United States department of
agriculture and the grain-groWing
states are eradicating the common
barberry. Are you for it or against
it? We can not save the wheat and
keep tht barberry. The wheat is
valuable and needed; give it a chance.
The common barberry is not valuable
and can be replaced in the beautiful
Japanese barberry.
Write to the department of agri-
culture, Washington, D. c., for in
formation on how to do it..

MODERN ACCOUNTING FOR
MARKETING ORGANIZATIONS

One of the outstanding Weaknesses
| OF marketing organizations is the
almost entire laclltof up-to-date bust
ness methods According to the Blu
feau OF Markets. United States De-
partment of Agriculture, which has
made an extensive study OF the sub
tha ,,,a.,,4f,- ficId have been
-, lIitectIy or Indirectly to lack
81 proper accounting systems. Other
Investigations indicate that this diff
ficuIty exists to no. less an extent in
homeopathic enterprises.
1t is the desire. OF the bureau to
make the, results Of these inVesti-
cations available to non-co-operatlVe
enterprises and not confine it's actiVi-
ties solely to assisting cooperative
concerns. However, due to the in
sistent demand for assistance and
tons, and cooperative oTganiza-
lions, and the lack of such demand
from the homeopathic field,
large portion of the work has Of ne
cessity been confined to the former
class of organization.
An essential of cooperative. bust
ness effort is that every participant
obtain an equitable share of profits.
Without proper accounting there is
no guarantee that this object is at
tanned. With up-to-date bookkeeping
none can point the finger of suspic-
ion or doubt. Good accounting pro-
notes economy and breeds confid-
ence.

shows the effects of business trans
actions on the asserts, liabilities,
capital, surplus, and revenue, and
also the expense of the business.
When the term "up-to-date meth
DDS" is used it does not imply COM
plicated methods. Only two books
are absolutely necessary for a COM
plete systematic record of the finan-
cial transactions-the journal and
the edger-though, of course, with
the growth of concern, convenience
may dictate that the material record
ed in these\ two volumes be subdi-
vided and entered in other volumes.
The journal shows the business
transactions in the order that they
occur, while the ledger shows them
classified according to the. respec-
tive accounts.
The records of a cooperative con-
Germ must record a history of each
members property from the time of
delivery until payment is made. All
this material should be so arranged
that the maximum volume of bust
ness can be cared for without con-,
fusion, and at the same time the
various details should be easily ac-
cessible.
Many cooperative organiza lions
have adopted the system of pooling,
which necessitates proratin, returns
on like grades of fruit and other
produce. Such records should be
clear as to the time of shipments,
average prices received, and award
ed items.
The form of business organization
should be as simple as possible, but
the duties Of each officer should be
clearly defined, board meetings
should be held regularly after due
notice has been given, and the laws
require that complete records Of the
meetings must be kept In a wide
margin on the left-hand side of each

False Economy Costly
Many organizations are tempted to
practice false enconomy in regard to
expenditures for an up-to-date &C
counting system, competent help, and
labor-saving devices. The cost of an
adding machine or a calculating ma
chine may seem large, but 1T may
save it's original cost in the course
of year, providing the vlume OF
business is sufficient to make it's use
economical. Columnar development
loose-leaf systems, card systems,
and the use of carbon copies have al
lessened the routine Of the book
keeper and made~fnedern bookkeep-
ing possibfeS ~ud economical.
The office, whether large or small,
should be provided with filing cabi-
nets, equipped with guides for in
dexing purpose and folders to. hold
the correspondence The alpha
betical filing system, is the sim
plest, and perhaps is the best suited
for the organization of average size.
In numerical filing, an alternative
system which some prefer, number
is assigned to each person with whom
considerable correspondence is car
ried on. To locate any particular
number in the file an alphabetical
cross index is kept. -. ..
Safeguarding the Cash
A regular system Of safeguarding
the cash should be adopted and ad-
hered to Strictly. All cash entries
should be explicit and items support
ing such entries should be filed so as
to be easily accessible. No entries
should be recorded in the cash book
which do not relate to cash. If pos
sible. the full receipts of each day
should be deposited in the bank. All
Cancelled checks should be filed IN
numerical order, and duplicate checks
should be covered by indemnity
bonds. The cash or check register
and the bank pass book balance
should be reconciled each month, and
a permanent record kept of this
agreement. Checks, sales slips, re-
kered with a numbering machine,
and any which are spoiled in use
should be marked void or left in the
book. A regular system should be
used for acknowledging all cash sales
or miscellaneous cash items received.
A systematic record should be kept
Of all petty cash payments.
An important item often neglected

CARNATIONS j., depreciation. The ex-
tent of depreciation should be esti-

amount Of depreciation. and set aside
amounts to replace the assets out of

The proper accounting of any mar
kering organization, rs well as in
other business efforts, is the audit
ing of the accounts. Both external
and internal audits should be made
at regular intervals. The latter may
be conducted by a committee of
members, while the former should be
made by an expert accountant.

Winter Swine Feedinu

A number of points bearing on the
economies of swine feeding have
been brought out in connection with
the swine investigation being con-
Quoted at the Georgia experiment sta
ton.
Winter feeding is more expensive
and less pleasant than summer feed
ing, but swine growers cannot af-
ford to let these factors govern them
entirely. To get best results from
swine they must have proper atten-
ton at all times. Results to be had
during the summer may be much bet
ter if proper winter care is given to
the breeding animals and such others
as are kept over for summer feed
ing
Such animals as are ready to be
tattened and slaughtered during the
winter season should be cared for in
such manner as to bring the owner
the maximum profit. The question
may come up with some as to wheth-
er it is more profitable to fatten
and market during the winter or
maintain animals during the winter
and fatten in the summer. This
should be determined largely by the
supply of homegrown feeds which
may be used at a reasonable cost and
by the condition of animals under
consideration. Late spring, summer
or early fall pigs which made con-
siderable growth would be best SUIT
ed for winter fattening. Young pigs
should be kept over for their growth
and fattened during the summer.
In maintaining herd of swine or
in feeding breeding animals during
the winter there are a few underly-
ing principles to be considered.
Breeding stock and growing animals
should not be fed heavily during
the winter. Getting them too fat
should be avoided. Observing this
precaution should mean a saving or
feed and avoidance of breeding trou-
bles caused frequently by heavy
feeding. Rich concentrates alone
should not be fed. Sufficient bulk
to distend the stomach and intestines
properly cannot be given in this way
without overlooking the animals
Without sufficient bulk, animals will
not be satisfied but will be restless
and qUarrelsome. To correct sucn
trouble and because such feed is
cheap and wholesome, hogs should
receive daily some fine, Well-cureQ
US OillO nay VI SOIuS .IOOIS, OF better
both hay and roots. If neither In
available bran and oats will be help
full in giving bulk to the ration.
Since the supplies and prices of
feeds are unstable no definite rules
can be made for winter feeding. The
following rations, however, may be
used adVantagcously as guides in
feeding: For brood sows Cd corn, 8
parts and tankaget $50 per cent pro-
tein) 1 part; CD hominy meal,
parts, middling, parts and tank
age L part. These rations may be
fed to pregnant sows in amounts suf-
fioient to produce one pound Of gain
daily. For sucking pigs, corn or
hominy meal, parts, middling,
parts and tankage 1 part. For wean-
ling pigs, corn or hominy meal, IA
parts, middling, 3 parts, tankage, 2
parts and oil meal part. For shoats,
corn or hOminy meal, 6 to 8 parts
and tanllage one part. For fat hogs,
corn or hominy meal, Is parts and
tankage 1 part. In each case parts
by weight are to be taken.

Select Seed Corn NOW

Everyone agrees that the aver
age corn yield can be greatly in
creased by planting field selected
and properly housed seed Such seed
will always grow and you can't kill
it with a club. Why don't more
farmers do it?
.. ]. H. r., Kirksville, Mo.
1t is natural to postpone tasks
whenever we can, particularly if
they are disagreeable tasks. Corn
off when the time to select seed
in the field comes around, and Sc
lecting seed corn in the fields at
this season is hard, hot and lone
some work. The ears are full Of
sap and heavy. They must be car
ried long distances on ones back
if gathered now. After the seed
is picked there is no good place to
the average farm in which to store
it. Where there is ventilation enough
III farm building to dry the ears
protection against mice, sparrows,
and squirrels is apt to be lacking.
TIE build a proper place to store
seed corn costs money, and as the
average farmer needs less than
that it will hardly pay to construct
such a storehouse. Then at seed
picking time, the farmer has many
things to do, all of which are press
ing, and some of which can't wait
while he feels that picking seed
corn can wait. Now when seed
should be selected he can't bring
himself to believe that he will not
have more leisure next spring. Of
course, he knows when he stops 20
think. that there will be more press
ing things for attention next spring
than can possibly be found to do in
the fall. Besides, the farmer doesn't
have trouble with his seed corn
every year. He frequently gets a
fair stand with whatever. seed he
happens to have and occasionally he
raises a good crop in spite of the
fact that he has planted crib Sc
lected seed. So, many farmers wait
until planting time approaches be-
fore thinking of the seed he will
plant then hurry around putting
themselves to lot of trouble and
running a lot of risk by selectiAE
seed from his crib or buying it
from some faraway scotsman. az
These are not excuses for faFra-
ers but are some of the reasons
Why they generally. do not do that
which they all agree it would be
profitable to do. And the remedy
is not a simple one. Where corn
is grown extensively a township
seed corn club with central store
age house and seed exchange is
practicable. The county agent every
where can and does render valuable
assistance in gathering and hous-
ing seed corn.
Every farmer ought to save this
fall not only enough seed to plant
his fields next spring, but when
the seed is well n1atured, as it is.
this year, he shoucG save an extra
years seed as a sareGUard against
drought, frost or flood. When
disaster befalls the corn crop in a
community the loss is not measured
alone by value of the crop de-
stroyed in the season the calamity
occurs, but in considerable part
also in a reduced yield the next
season because of the necessity of
Planting unacclimated seed.
Planting the best of the seed
grown at home is the safest assur-
ance of a good corn crop that one
can have, and the cost and trouble
after all are not excessive.

Undrawn Poultry Keeps Better
In Cold Stor age Than Drawn Fowls

con uses in performing an operation
that is, with the use of sterile in
struments and rubber gloves and
under strictly scientific sanitary
conditions, so that there would be no
bacterial contamination in the pro-
cess of drawing-the drawn poultry
would be preferable to the undrawn.
However. it is not practicable under
ordinary commercial conditions to
prevent some bacterial contamina-
ton in the drawing of poultry. To
produce this result a trained bac-
teriologist and highly skilled work
men would be required in every
poultry killing establishment. The
cost of such a process would be pro-
hibitive.
1t is the opinion of the specialists,
therefore, that under usual CONNER
cial conditions undrawn poultry will
keep much better than drawn poul-
try. The experiments upon which
this conclusion is based were con-
Quoted several years ago, but con-
tinued observation of thousands of
shipments of poultry under ordinary
commercial conditions since then
has served only to strengthen the
opinion of the specialists who made
the original experiments.
