Farm Accounts aid Credit Exten
That carefully kept accounts, giving
a record Of the years transactions and
inventory statistics, are proving "A
material aid TO farmers in securing
loans and credit extensions from their
bankers, is the statement of II. M.
Eliot, head of the Farm Management
Department at the Michigan Agricul-
tural College.
Financial statements are as i'm
portant in farming as in any other
business says Eliot. Without ac-
counts which will make these records
possible, the farmer must approach
his banker in the dark without facts
upon which to base his requests for
credit. The farmer is in a stronger
position if he has statements which
will show definitely his assets over
liabilities, and the yearly return from
the business.
Even in adverse economic times,
when accounts may show but small
profit for the year, the records will
show the fundamental soundness of
the farm projects and will provide a
basis upon which to ask for credits.
Convenient aids in keeping farm
records are provided in Farmers
Account Book published by the agri-
cultural college. Those books, a new
edition of 5000 being just off the
press, contain pages for cash records,
inventories, financial statements, feed
ing records, crop yield records, and
summaries. They are distributed at
cost, fifty cents each, to farmers of
the state who request them of the N.

WARNS AGAINST

TO AVOID DISEASE AVOID COLDS
AND EXHAUSTION SAYS
STATE OFFICIAL.

Lansing, March 2.-Pneumonia is

most carefully at the present time,
warns the State Department of
Health.
During the first "a days of Febru-
airy ga cases of pneumonia were re-
ported through the state, compared
to 5l9 during the corresponding Pc
nod last year and an average of 493
for the past 10 years. In January
'o9 cases were reported, an increase
OF 100 cases over January, 1921, and
nearly twice the average number for
the month.
ITO avoid pneumonia" advises DR..
x. M. DIN, commissioner of health,
avoid colds and exposure to sickness.
The organism causing acute lobar
pneumonia is always ready at this
time Of the year, waiting until we
are at low ebb physically for a chance
TO invade and lay waste the body's
Notifications. Other forms of the
disease, the bronchopneumonias or
secondary infections, are the mop
p-ng-up squads of neglected colds
and common sicknesses.
IF person contracts a cold, it
should never be treated contemptu-
ously. The individual who is feeling
not quite we'll will conserve time
and health by complete relaxation
and rest. In fact, thorough rest
INDUCED in early enough may pre-
vent pneumonia. Even if pneumonia
does develop, the rest will have help
ed to conserve the body's resistance,
every ounce of which will be needed
before the patient RECEIVERS.

heartily and wisely; sleep with the

What EUery Woman
Wants to KnOIU
Letting Your Head Save Your
Heels in the Kitchen.

A housewife will waste time and
expend much valuable energy, in spite
of all the labor saving devices on the
market, if she has a poor arrange
ment of sink, stove, work table, and
light in her kitchen. Nothing is more
important than correct placing Of
these items of Kitchen furniture" if
one would bring efficiency and econ
omy into the household routine.
Often, in kitchens built number
of years ago, the position of the stove
cannot be changed, but its height can
be changed. Why stoop over your
stove if you are tall? Few stoves
are too high, but a low stove can be
easily elevated. Thirty-nine inches
has been found to be the average
height which would suit the average
woman.
A simple extension of the electric
light cord can make all the difference
in the world in lighting convenience,
if sufficient number of hooks are
placed at different intervals about the
room. There is no use in working
with your shadow on your work. The
Table can be adjusted even more cas-
lily than the stove, and if equipped
with rollers, and stool, also fitted
with rollers, time and wearisome la
Dor can be cut amazingly.
Then, since you have to work with
certain tools, keep them in good con-
dition. For fifty cents you can buy a
splendid knife sharpener which will
keep your pairing knives at the height
of usefulness. See to it that the
knives themselves are fitted with han
dies which fit the hand and are Of
rust-proof material. A dish drainer
have you ever tried one will
prove one Of the greatest boons you
ever had. You can buy one for mere
trifs and save dollars in time and
energy by the process of scaldng the
dishes and leaving them to dry them
selves. Steel wool solves the problem
of wrestling with food burned into
your pans--a whole box for ten cents,
too or, for the same price, a Mystic
Nit, which will answer the same pur-
pose and save hands as well.
Last, but not least, a fireless cook
er. Friend husband can make one.
Very good makes are on the market,
too; but ready made or homemade,
sec TO it that one is in your Kitchen
and you will have paved the way for
many extra hours.

Facts GiUen on
Your Income Tax

Farmers, rangers, herders, dairy
men, truck gardeners, vineyard and
orchard owners, and other food pro-
ducers must compute their net and
gross incomes for 1921 and ascertain
whether an income tax return, or a
tax, or both are due. Ali gains, pro-
fits, and income derived from the sale
or exchange of farm products, wheth-
er produced on the farm or purchased
and resold, must be included in gross
income. When farmer exchanges
his products for groceries, clothing, or
other merchandise, the fair market
value of such goods must be included
Frofit received from the sale of farm
land, or rent received for the use
thereof, must be included.
In determining income, upon which
the tax is assessed, the farmer may
deduct from gross income all neces-
sary expenses incurred in the opera
ton Of his farm during the year 1921.
These include cost of cultivation, har-
vesting, and marketing his crops, cost
Of feed and fertilizer used, amount
spent in repairs to farm buildings
(other than the dwelling) and to
fences and machinery. Wages paid to
farm hands are deductible, but not
wages paid to domestic servant,
which is a personal expense.
AS an aid to farmers, the Bureau of
Internal Revenue has prepared a spe
cial form, l040F, for recording sales
of live stock, produce, and summary
which must be attached to the indi-
vidual return Of income and expenses.
An unmarried or widowed farmer
or one living apart from his wife must
file an individual return for 1921 if
his net income for 1921 was $1,000
or more, or if his gross income was
$4,000 or more. If married and living
with his wife on December 81, 1921, a
return must be filed if his net income
was $4,000 or more, or if his gross
income was $4,000 or more.

Life insurance is an Outgrowth Of
custom OF insuring ships and cargoes,
