Budget Keeping Not Mysterious or
Hard Sailing by chart rather than
by chance is the difference between
living by plan or budget and liv-
ing in haphazard fashion," says
Lucy A. Studley of the home econom-
les division at University Farm.
''The budget is not mysterious or
difficult to understand. 1t simply
means, first, considering what one
wishes to get out of life, ones goal ;
second, taking account of stock of
ones income to learn how much there
is for saving and spending; third,
making plan to fit the -size of the
income; fourth, keeping a record Of
expenditures, taking care to have the
budget control the amount expended
for the various needs and items ;
fifth, analysing this record of expen-
ditures and building new plan based
on the experience gained.
"Living on the budget plan means
recognition of the fact that money is
a tool, that how much of happiness
and satisfaction it buys or conserves
through savings account is largely
dependent upon the way it is used.
In other words, management of the
income is matter of first Importance
in family life. For budget is a
family affair. Therefore the men,
bers of the family must get together
to discuss needs and ways and means.
1t soon becomes clear that it is not
the budget but the amount of the
income that measures what may be
spent or saved. Consequently, great
er appreciation and understanding of
how far the family purse will go is
the result-hence greater happiness
for the family. - .

More Alfalfa Needed on Minnesota
Farms -Minnesota's ratio of legum-
nous crops is about one acre for ev-
cry 16 acres of other crops and is
much lower than the ratio in some of
the neighboring states. "The ratio
for best yields of other crops and for
best results with livestock should be
one acre of legumes for every four to
six acres of other crops" says A. c..
Army of the farm crops, section at
University Farm. wisconsin and
Michigan have reached the goal. If
Minnesota is to keep step, it must in
crease its legume area from little
more than a million now to better
than three millions of acres. Mime
sofa has about 100000 acres of alfal-
ia and more than a million and half
dairy cows to feed. An acre of al
falfa for every dairy COW is good
aim.
