working in cooperation with state
marketing agencies in IL states during
the year ended June 80, 1920. This fig
ure is made up of hundreds Of individ-
ual items of savings and additional
profits estimated by growers. shippers
and marketing agencies concerned and
reported to the United States bureau

State cooperative work in market

Improvement In methods of market

the object of this marketing work. In
vestigatiOns of grading, packing, load
ing, shipping and marketing are made
and visual demonstrations given pro-
ducers to familiarize them with the
hest marketing methods. Thus, some
200 demonstrations Of approved prac-
tees of preparing farm products for
market and over 700 talks relative to
packing. grading, handling. storing
and selling farm products and the for
nation of associations for cooperative
activity were given. In one state alone

While complete figures are not
available, those at hand show that the
field men were instrumental in the for
nation of 1s3 marketing organiza-
tons, including 80 livestock shipping
associations and 81 fruit or vegetable
associations. They also assisted in
the organization Of u credit unions
and 10 declarations Of existing associ-
ations, most of which are statewide In
scope. One hundred and sixty-six
wool pools handling over 10000, 600
pounds Of wool were given assistance
In organization and grading. In a
number Of states the field men,
through state agencies, secured the
adoption Of federal standards for farm

FARM ACCOUNTS AID
TO BETTER PROFITS
Quite Essential to Any Well
Thought Out Plan.
Farmer Enabled to Meet Conditions In
Way That viii Give Him Great
est Net Returns on Various
Crops He Produces.

Farming is a business, and, to be
successful it must be conducted in a
businesslike manner. 1t involves the
production and sale of commodities,
just as does manufacturing. The busi-
ness man, whether in factory or on
farm, should be constantly considering
two questions:
l. What profit is my business max
ing?
2. How can that profit be increased?
The first of these must be answered
before an intelligent effort can be
made to answer the second. Proper
accounting leads directly to the an
swer to the first question, and hence
it is essential to any well-thOught-out
plan to increase profits.
The problem of the farmer Is to
meet conditions on his own farm In a
way that will give him the greatest net
returns, year in and year out, for the
use Of his capital. his labor, and his
managerial ability. Before he can be
considered q successful farm operator
he must produce results that will COW
er the value Of all these. Capital can
earn interest without labor on the part
Of its owner, and labor can earn wages
without owning any capital. The farm
CT, utilizing both in the conduct Of his
business, should secure returns that
will cover both interest and wages.
Not until both of these have been
more than covered can any profit be
credited to the farming operations
Nothing but return In excess Of inter.
est and wages can properly be censid.

labor, guards. clerical help. cash con-
tributions and such food supplies as
are locally ebtainable. No children
receive the free food except after
medical tests showing them to Be seri-

need to apply in the face of the short
age of labor with which this years
crops must be made. 1t applies to
tasks that interfere with work in the
fields at times when field work can be
done. 1t does not mean procrastina-
ton. 1t means getting the Indirectly
productive work done in advance, if
possible, but if it can't be done in ad-
vance put it off till the rush work in
the efilds is out of the way. 1t is one
Of the important factors, say farm
management specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture, in
full utilization Of farm labor.
Great Need This Year.
And full utilization is likely to be
more important this year than it has
ever been before. Reports coming to
the Department of Agriculture from
all sections of the country are to the
effect that farm laborcrs and tenants
are caught by the lure of high wages
and are leaving the farms for the
cities. A great many farmers, ap-
parently, will be forced to carry on
their operations this year with less
help than they have ever had before.
Unless such labor as is left on the
farm is utilized to the best possible
advantage, there is danger of scri-
Gus curtailmcnt of production.
Farm management specialists say
however, that great deal can be ac-
compGshcd toward helping production
by getting the most out of the labor
available. They lay down few sim
pic rules that they believe will help to-
ward attaining this result.
The best farmer, they say, is the
one who get sthc other work out OF
the way and keeps the teams moving
whenever the land is in condition fol
field work. The amount of products
that farmer can grow depends or

getting the field work done when the
weather will permit it. Nothing ex-
cept necessary work like feeding and
milking should be permitted to take
men from the fields, and it should be
planned where possible to get these
things done and still keep the horses
working ten hours day.
Plan no wct-land work, they say,
when there is work in the fields that
can be done. By wet-land work is
meant such things as cutting weeds
and brush in the fence rows, repair
ing the fences, repairing buildings
and great many other necessary
things-but things that can be done
just as we'll when the ground is too
wet to plow.
Leave no rainy-day work, another
rule says, to be done when it is not
raining, for profits are limited by the
amount of outdoor work that gets
done. Rainy-day work is necessary
work and if it is not done on rainy
days it will have to be done alter on
fair days and will interfere with field
work. 1t includes things that can be
done under shelter, such as shclling
seed corn, mending the harness, and
repairing tools.
Jot down in a note book, the special
lists advise, the things that will need
| attention the next rainy day. This
will enable you to plan your work
quickly when you get up some morn
ing and find the rain pouring down.
Do first the jobs that are in danger of
getting in the way of the next dry
weather work.

are a great many things that can not
be put off till tomorrow. If sowing
oats is delayed until the warm, dry
days of late spring, there will be a
light harvest. If the corn is not cui-
tiVated even for one week after it is
old enough to cultivate, the fields will
be weedy and the crops poor. If the
dairy cow sare neglected, there will
soon be no milk. This class of tasks,
therefore, demands immediate atten-
ton. Put off the other things to more
or less remote tomorrows when the
rush work is out of the way.

work that may be done aIly ttiIiio with VIII;
in wide latitude, but the time comes
when it can not be put off any longer
and it may stop the rush work. Seed
corn, for example, may be tested and
shelled any time after it is thoroughly
cured, but if the work is neglected un-
til the fields are ready to plant, then
that most profitable work in the corn
efild may be delayed. That is a fair

work.
1t takes more planning, more think
ing, and more force of character to do
this work in seasons when there is no
rush work than it does to concentrate
on rush work. Only by using his head
can the farmer handle the "get-it-out-
of-the-way" work in advance, but he
must apply the rule methodically and
unfailingly if he is to get ahead very
fast in spite of shortage of labor.
