There is no business that requires
a keener foresight on the part Of the
manager than that Of the farm busi-
ness manager. The farm is no longer
the dumping ground for misfits in
other industries, but is business that
is attracting the best and most wide

require very much time in keeping it,
and the University of California, col
lege of agriculture, extension division
has prepared a book that meets the
requirements for a system of farm
accountinb on the average farm. The
book is furnished free to farm busi-
ness men, who agree to keep the
farm account for year and provide
the university with copy of the
summary Of the farm business at the
close Of the year. These books may
be secured through the county agent
or farm advisor in the various coun-
ties.
The internal revenue bureau has
ruled that the fiscal year of the
farmer for his farm business record
may begin at the beginning of any
month during the year and does not
have to conform to the calendar year.
! The income tax returns must be made
! within three months after the close
of the fiscal year on the farm.
The best time to start farm ac-
count boook is at time that will
conform to the crop year. That is
at a time when the crops of the prev
ious year have been harvested and
preparations are about to be made
FOR seeding or caring for the crops for
the succeeding year. However, the
m business account may be started
any time during the year, pro
viding an accurate inventory is en-
cred at the time.
Too much emphasis cannot be
laced on the value Of the inventory.
ho value placed on the various items
should be conservative and in case Of
work animals, such as horses
dairy cows, brood sows, etc, he pro-
duction value of the individual ami
mails should be listed: Depreciation
and appreciation should be taken in
to consideration and recorded each
year in the inventry. The rate Of de-
probation will vary with local condi,,
tions on the farm and the Individual
item. Farm crops and livestock held
for sale should be listed at the market
price less the cost of marketing or in
other words the farm price.
For making our reports for income
tax purposes there are two methods
one known as the accrual OF inVeii-
tory basis and the other known as the
"cash receipts and Disbursements
basis" 1t is decidedly to the farm
business managers advantage to re-
port on the "accrual basis" because
I(D The actual profits from the
wears business are credited to the
year in which they occur. Under the
"cash basis" the actual sales made
during the year represent the pro
duction of more than one year, as IL
the case of selling corn, wheat, OF
livestock produced in former years
(2) The record of each years busi
ness is completed to date. Difficult
ties are eliminated, such as goinf

the ''cost basis" the profit from the

products on hand at the beginning of
the year can be claimed as a deduc-

called on to endure
The Merchant, the Newspaper. the

being forced like the rancher to sell
their product at lower prices.

We have confidence in the future
right now we are placing orders for
goods to be delivered early this spring
We will keep steadily ON, just as is

Even after enormous losses in goods
marked down from declines which
came early in September and we took
every decline promptly from that

thousands of dollars-we still believe
in the people and future prosperity Of
the Imperial Valley.

Osgood's Millinery
In Charge Of
Helen Byrne

a MOTHER newcomer is Miss Byrne for
a she joined us along with Miss Miller of
the Suit section. She halls from Cleveland,
however, where she had been with Nc
CURES continuously for twelve years.
McGuire's may not be known to many in
Fairmont yet it is one Of the finest millinery
shops in America. Miss Byrne had complete
charge Of the workroom, sales force and
assisted in buying. So it is apparent that
she comes to our millinery department ade
quately equipped to be helpful to those who
would be properly topped off with chapeaux.
Miss Byrne is making every effort to select
from the foremost designers whose lines we.
carry just such hats as our patrons prefer.
We bespeak for her your consideration. We
should like to have you meet her and make
known your wants.

Osgood's Suits
in charge Of
Maude Miller

n NEWCOMER in our midst is Miss Mil
- ler.. She came to US from RosenBaum's
of Pittsburgh, where she had spent five
years in the ready-to-wear section of that
wonderful store. Miss Miller brings a
wealth Of valuable experience which many
Of our patrons have already found helpful
to them in the selection of their Suits Dur
ing our own brief acquaintance with Miss
Miller we have learned that she knows just
about all there is to know about the quality
Of materials; about the styles most suitable
to ones physical characteristics; and,
about fitting. The last feature is one Of
outstanding Importance more so, perhaps,
in relation to Suits than other garments.
We are nightly pleased to have Miss Miller
with us and Miss Miller says she is equally
pleased with Fairmont and the patrons she
has already been privileged to serve.

Osgood's Dresses
In Charge of
Elizabeth Hunsaker

M ISIS HUNSAKER is largely responsible
1'A for the splendid trade enjoyed in our
dress section She has been with us but
year yet her wide acquaintance klowl-
edge of the preferences Of 50 many patrons
and her talent for choosing garments both
smart in appearance and equitable with the
quality standards of the Store, have had
much to do with the constantly growing
popularity Of our dress offerings. Miss
Hunsaker assists in buying the garments in
her department and at present there are,
perhaps, more fashionably desirable dresses
in her care than will be found in any other
similar department in Fairmont. All who
can reckon values (and what woman in the
community cannot) will agree that dress
prices here are noticeably moderate. And,
by the way, new dresses reach us from New
York almost every single day.

Osgood's Wraps
in charge Of
Jennie Snyder

~ URING the past four years Miss Snyder
~ has served the patrons Of Osgood's,
great part of the time in charge Of the Goats
and Wraps section. Due to her ability and
constant vigilance in keeping the large stock
conveniently arranged for inspection the de
partment has become one of the most i'm
portant in the Store. Itgoes without saying
that we. sell a vast volume of Goats and
Wraps. Beginning this Autumn season
there were no less than four hundred gar
ments in our cases. Ranging from a very
small price on upward to two hundred dol
lars, each garment represents the utmost
value we have been able to procure from
the best known makers in the land. Colder
weather will undoubtedly prove that this is
a coat year" and that our department is
adequately equipped to serve every demand.
