County government is the most
backward Of all our political units,
the most neglected by the public. the
most boss-ridden the least efficiently
organized, the most corrupt and in
competent, and by reason of consti.
tutional complication the most diff
cult to reform. No system was
ever devised with equal facilities for
INDUCING in what is popularity and
pointedly referred to as passing the
buck as the Michigan county govern
ment affords. Yet the system will
remain with US unless the people
themselves insist it be changed and
modernized. The benefciaries of the
prevalent lackadaisical and costly
methods not being likely to move

3 WINTER SAID TIME FOR
~. INVENTORY.
Work Lighter and Feed Supplies
Lower at This Season-M. A. c.
Furnishes Blanks.


East Lansing, Jan. 26..-That late
winter is the best time Of the year
for taking farm inventories, the first
of February, March or April being
given as exact dates, is the state
ment Of H. M. Eliot, Farm Manage
ment Specialist at the. Michigan
Agricultural College.
..The farmers field work has not
yet begun at this seasons" says Mr..
Eliot, "and he has more time for in
ventory taking than at any other
period. Another factor that makes it
advisable to inventory at this time is
the fact that feed and grain supplies
are relatively low, making it easier
to figure the supplies on hand. For
these reasons I would advise Febru-
airy, March, or April as the date upon
which to take the annual inventory"
The practice of checking all farm
equipment by the inventory system is
becoming more and more common in
Michigan. In this way farmer can
find out not only the total value of
his farm plant, but also the increase
from year to year in the value of
equipment, etc. Often much of a
farmers savings and profit go into
added equipment, live stock, or pay
ments, and are not easily determined
without a careful inventory each
year.
Farm account books, containing
complete inventory blanks are dis
tributed by the Farm Management
department at M. A. c., East Lam
sing, at cost, which is forty five
cents copy.
