MUST KEEP FARM RECORDS

1.-THE year 1922 is to be an outstand-
ing one in the field of STUDYING farm
rroblenrs," saws John S. Donald of
the agricultural economies depart
ment of the University of Wisconsin.
"Never before" he says, "did the
farmers give so much attention to
the business side of farming as they
do no-y, and from present indications
these problems viii be Of still greater
importance next year"
Mr. Donald states that management
has a new meaning to the farmer. He
now ACKNOWLEDGES it as the key to
srcoessful bnsines, operations and
with the coming of 1922 is WORKING
to find q more efficient system of
management than has previously been
used. AS the factorv manager began
work to solve this problem some wears
ago so the farmer is doing now
s.The first step towards better man
agement is the keepino of records and
accounts Mr.. Donald exrlains. A
simn'e yet effective farn accounting
book has been provided nv the tate
college Of agriculturn. This is sold to
them for TIE cost Of --blishing and
with the Coming of tho new vear IS
heino called for more than it ever has
been before"

NOT MODELS OF c0NSTANcY
Observer Has Found That House
Wrens Occasionally Figure in
Birds divorce Court"

little birds in their nests agree
SO likewise do their parents, presuni-
ably. But there has been much specu-
lation as to whether pairs of birds,
once married, do or do not perpetuate
the welded relation from year to year.
How about the house-wren? 1t is a
gentle and virtuous bird, almost semi
lomesticated, as one might say, mas
much as it customarily builds its nest
in or about human habitations. People
who have watched the habits of house.
wrens have often been heard to say
that they were sure the same pairs re-
turned to the same nesting places sea-
son after season. They were pro-
claimed as models of marital con-
stancy.
However Mr.. S. Prentiss Baldwin of
Cleveland, who for many years has
made the trapping and banding of
birds his special hobby (afterward re-
leasing them to be subsequently -e-
trapped perhaps and identified), has
found that house-wrens are no more re-
liable in their conjugaI relations than
folks. In some instances these relu-
tons are perpetuated from season to
season; but often it happens that a
houSe-wren, male or female, INDUCES

bluff at starting housekeeping, and
then making final choice of another

and then leave his wife, going off with
another lady house-wren and setting up
an establishment with her. Where
upon there is nothing for the deserted
female TO do but get another husband.

With an initial enrolment of SOC

RESEARCH WORK IN TROPICS
ton in British Guiana-Woman

The two principal fields Of activity
of the New York Geological society are
the geological park in the Bronx and
the aquarium at the Battery. A third
undertaking has been the successful eS-
tablishing of tropical research sta
ton in British Guiana, South America,
under the dictatorship of William
Beebe This laboratory is situated In
bungalows at the edge of the tropical
jungle, and although almost on the
equator, the absence of flies and mos
quitOes, the cool nights and the COM
Portable living conditions make it an
ideal place for scientists and artists to
carry on research.
This last season II workers took adj
vantage of the station. The official
artist of the expedition is Miss Isabelle
Cooper This last year she executed
over 300 water colors of creatures
such as insects, fish, frogs, lizards,
snakes, bats and other organisms
whose delicate coloring vanishes al
most Immediately after death. The
subjects are all drawn from life, being
held in the hand and studied under Il

fidelity to the natural colOration. to-
gether with the beauty of very real ar
tistic feeling. makes the paintings
worthy of comparison with the work
of Japanese artists.

The Railroad Commission this week
handed down decision in a track case
" hich is of especial interest to farm
ers. A cooperative rotato-raising or
ganization applied to the commission
to direct the Green Bay and Western
hoaa co. to construct spur track
into what is known as the potato
farms, where large quantities OF po-
tatoes are shipped each year. After
giving the app .Ication long consldera-
ton the commission decided that
farm was not the sort of industry
contemplated by the law. The law as
it reads directs the railroad company
to acquire the right of way and build
a spur track not exceeding necessarily
thlee miles in length, where such spur
ais practically indispensable to the
sucee -sful operation of any existing
or proposed mill, elevator,-or other
industry or enterprise" The indus
try is to pay the cost of the right of
way, and of construction. The deciS-
ion of the commission will doubtless
lead to an amendment of the law,
v hich will place farm products for
shipment on the same footing as
manufactured products.
The Industrial Commissions statis-
tics which it is gathering all the time
present a pretty accurate picture,
from tine to time, of the labor condl-
lions in the state tbs, during Nov
enber, the number of nerSonS employ
ed in Wisconsin factories and mines
was Il of 1ct less than in October,
and the total wages paid were 10 per
cent less. Since July, 1920. there has
been a reduction of 34.5 in the nJn'beT
of persons employed, 49.5 in the total
of payrolls and 22.S in average week
" earnings. These average WeetlE
earnings are now $21.41.
