NORTH DAKOTA FARM AC-
T0IINTS

During the year 1919, the Farm:
Management Division of the NORTH
Dakota Agricultural College has
placed with the farmers of the state
about 5000 account books, which are
being kept by the farmers for their
own information. Every county ir
the state is represented by farmers
who are keeping these records.
The books are so simple that any
one who wishes can keep the accounts
and yet they are sufficiently complete
that practically all details of the farm
business can be kept. Among the d.
visions that might be mentioned are
the following: Inventories of all
classes of property; acreage and
yield of all crops; receipts from the
sale of crops; receipts from the sale
Of live stock; including poultry, and
miscellaneous receipts.
Under Expenses" the following di-
visions are noted: Crop expenses;
livestock expenses; expenses for re-
pair Of machinery; cost of hired labor,
and Of family labor for which cash
may not be paid; expenses for house
hold; bills receivable and bills pay
able.
At the end of the year, summary
of the farm business is made, space
being provided for that purpose. A
separate form is provided, also, for
making the income tax returns.
This department desires to be of the
fullest service to the farmers of this
state and it will summarize the rec
ords of any farmer of this state free
of charge, returning the general farm
summary and the income tax sum-
mary, together with the account book.
to the farmer. 1t may be mentioned
here that the department never makes
public the names or the business of
any individual farmer, nor is the in
formation contained in the accounts
ever used in any way, shape, or form.
for tax assessments or other official
enumerations. The department, how
ever, keeps copy, of the summary for
study in connection with the posi-
bilities of improving the organization
of farms, as indicated by the sum-
maries of groups of farmers in diff
ferent parts of the state.
The department Of farm manage
ment is prepared to summarize the
account books now in the hands OF the
farmers for the year 1919, and the
farmers who have been keeping these
accounts during the year, should for
ward the same to the college at once.
ANY farmer, who sends in his book to
be summarized will receive, free of
charge, a book for keeping the ac-
for 1920.
The account books for the use of
the farmers for 1920 are now ready
for distribution. On account of the
cost of printing, it is necessary to
make charge of IS cents for these
books. Any farmers Of North Dako-
ta who desire ore Of these account
hooks for use next year should adj

We got card from brother-in-
law out at Tracyton, WASH, recently
IN which he said that it had been very
cold out there and that his water pipes
had been frozen up for five days. He
also stated that the thermometer was
fifteen above Now that mild weather
might be strange out there but in the
banana belt out here it is nothing I'M
usual. The thermometer was 81 here
Christmas day and today there is a
regular chinook wind blowing. Why
do people go out west for fine weather
when they can get it here. P. S.
This statement may need changing be-
fore tomorrow morning but we are 60
ing to take chance at it right now.

A great many people have been in
today asking that we print hangers
speech in full. This is all utter i'm
possibility much as we would like to
do so. In the first place there was no
one here who could take that speech
so rapid was the speaker, and second
ly it would require too much time and
space to reproduce it in the Times
Record. We are nightly sorry this
cannot be done. We understand that
the notes will be given to the Fargo
Forum which paper will no doubt
print the speech III full.

seeing President Leonard Wood rid

especially in view of the treatment
which General Wood received at the
hands Of the president after he had
trained and developed his army and
was ready to lead it to France. 1t may

The papers are full of the deaths of
men who are drinking wood alcohol as

course the brewers and distillers are
pointing with glee to this mortality

any man who is so weak that he can
not get along without whiskey and
has to take wood alcohol the sooner he
dies the better. If he has no more

Some years ago this institution
announced Its abandonment of dry

required In girls colleges and
boarding schools. Latin and higher
mathematics gave place to practi-
cal courses In cooking, sewing,
child welfare. Hygiene and other
useful sciences. In place of the tra-
dittonal boarding school rules,
Crescent inaugurated the student
government plan which enabled
girls to feel liberty OF action and
responsibility for the conduct Of
their schoolmates The result has
been gratifying. whereas formerly
II was necessary to send out solicit
ors In the summer to make up the
quota of so girls, all Crescent
