URGED
TO KEEP ACCOUNTS
Conferences Held with Farmers by IL. p.
Young of Burlington and County
Agent Iiarvey-BoOks Summarized.

Several conferences with farmers, both
individually and in groups, have been
held this week by Ii. u. Young of Bur
lington, farm management demonstration,
and County Agent r. Wilton Harvey,
Mr. Young presenting the subject Of farm
ing accounts
Eighteen farmers of the county already
are keeping farm accounts and II addi-
tional farmers have become interested
during Mr.. Young's visit Twenty-eight
persons attended a meeting in South
Windham. Mr.. Young and Mr. Harvey
VIII hald meeting in Whitingham to-
night.
The books of farmers summarized 50
far this year show that the labor returns
of the farmers ranged from a deficit of
$50 TO an income of S29J2. The returns
also showed that farmers who have real
lied the best incomes are those who kept
high producing COWS, good bulls. or have
large number of cows, or those who
have three or four sources of income, the
incomes Increasing according to the size
of their business.
The object in getting farmers to keep
accounts is to bring out the factors which
show where the losses are and where
profit can be made: to give the farmer an
opportunity to study his business and to
secure statistics which may be used when
needed TO show what the farmers are
doing.
