THE PENCIL MAKES
A FARM PAY BETTER
farm Accounting Reveals Losing
Methods and Points Way to
Bigger Profits.
From Banker. Farmerl

A farm cannot properly be called
successful unless it pays fair rate
of interest on the investment and re-
turns fair wages for the farmers la
Dor. Agriculture is considered by all
odds the most important industry in
the world, and yet in no other indus
try is the business end so neglected.
1t is common to find farmer with
an investment of fifteen to twenty
thousand dollars, yet does he keep
books? Perhaps he may jot down
note now and then of an important
deal, but this is of no value in an
analysis of his business as a whole.
carried on without books of some
sort.
Farming Is business and to be
successful must be conducted In a
businesslike way. The business mans
mind should have indelibly printed
upon 1t two questions: What profit is
my business making? How can that
profit be increased? To know the lat
ter one must find out the former; and
to find out about profits requires the
keeping OF books.
1t is not necessary for a farmer to
have course in bookkeeping. AL
most every agricultural college in the
country has issued simplitied farm
accounting book which 1t sells at cost,
and only a few minutes are required
each day to jot down the days hap
penings.
Accounts Increase Profits
Instances number thousandfold
where farmers have profited by know
ing their business. Accounts kept by
nineteen farmers in Illinois led them
to improve the organization and oper-
alton of their farms in ways that add
ed approximately $3.50 to their aver
age net income in 1922, the seventh
year they had kept accounts.
An Iowa farmer found at the end of
the first year he kept books that crops
fed to livestock brought more money
than when sold outright. His figures
showed that his cows were poor;
compared with other farms in the

cultivated per man on his farm, as
well as the number of acres per horse,
were below average. He rented more
land and replanned his fields. so that
the crop areas per man and horse
were increased. He sold some of his
scrubs and bought good cows. The
second year his income from the
farm, after paying all expenses and
interest on the money invested. had
been increased over $3.50.
Costs Can Be Regulated

While the farmers may not be able

do have a voice in determining tht

SCIENTISTS IN HOUSE CAR
TO STUDY MIGRATORY BIRDS

McPherson,. Kans., July 6.--R)-
A study Of bird life from South Da-
kota to Mexico City, and back along
the western coast of Mexico and the
United States to Canada, will be
made this summer by Prof. H. H.
Nininger, head of the biology de-
partment of Mcpherson College here.
Prof. Nininger will make the trip
under the auspices of the National
Ornithology Society and it is ex-
pected to result in the most impor-
tant discoveries in the interests of
ornithology.
The party will start from western
South Dakota and travel in house
car. built especially for the purpose.
Care will be taken to keep we'll ahead
of cold weather, so that the birds
can be studied in advance of the mi
gratory period for the American
species. Crossing the Rio Grande, the
party will continue south, gathering
data on the species both rare and
common to Mexico. While there, the
migratory birds of the northland,
which will have sought winter quar-
ters. will be closely observed.
From the City of Mexico, Prof.
Nininger will move northward, trav-
cling along the western coast of
Mexico and the United States until
the Canadian border is reached.
Colleges and universities along the
route in both countries have asked
Prof. Nininger for his disclosures.

FINLAND PREPARES TO SELL
LUMBER IN UNITED STATES

Washington, July 6.-[P)-Finland,
now the most heavily forested of
European countries, has aroused
much attention from American lum-
Der manufacturers by creating an
organization in its lumber trade for
marketing in the United States. The
National Lumber Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION, one of the American groups
most concerned, has received advices
that the Finnish saw mill owners
have put in charge of their enter
prise John Saari, formerly a lumber
manufacturer in Portland, Ore, and
are attempting to establish per-
manent foothold in this country.
American lumber trades have been
somewhat jolted by the inform alton,
in view Of the fact that in the past
American lumber exports have gone
to nearly all continents of the world.
The only opportunity. the Finnish pro-
ducers have to market in the United
States, it was said comes from the
very complete utilization which they
can make of their timber, and the
willingness of their own con-
sumers to use short lengths and bits
of wood. The American experts point
out that this national custom results
IN complete use of every tree cut,
and lower operating charges against
resulting lumber that may allow it to
compete in the United States against
home produced timber.

AID FOR STATE
MILLPR0MISED
BY FARM HEAD
Jardine Approves Governors
Program for Development
of Milling Industry

The u. S. Department of Agricul-
ture will cooperate with the State Of
North Dakota in the operation of
the state owned mill and elevator at
Grand Forks, and every resource of
the federal department will be plac-
ed at the disposal of the state in
development of the project. Cover
nor A. G. Sorlie announced today fol-
lowing a lengthy conference Sunday
with Secretary of Agriculture Jar
dine.
Approves Program
Governor Sorlie stated Secretary
Jardine enthusiastically approved of
the states program aimed at devel-
opment of milling industry in
North Dakota capable of handling
the states enormous grain produce
ton.
secretary Jardine and myself
have similar ideas as to the impor-
lance Of cooperative marketing as
the solution of agriculture's most
pressing problems" Sorlie declared.
"Jardine expressed his approval of
the states progress in aidino North
Dakota farmers in organizing for
marketing their wheat and flax"
The executive referred to the
state-owned mill and elevator as
Laboratory" to aid farmers in the
grain marketing business, and indi-
Gated the Sorlie administration will
not go into the milling industry on
a larger scale than developing the
Grand Forks project.
1T is the aim of the state to lay
the basis for vast milling indus
try within our borders for the home
manufacture of North Dakota wheat
he stated. "When North Dakota
wheat is millcd in North Dakota, it
will be possible to pay the farmer
more for his crop and put North
Dakota flour on the market at an
absolute reduction below the present
price.
1.-The Grand Forks mill will be a
laboratory to discover the best
method for marketing the state wheat
crow" he declared.
Sorlie said Jardine heartily en-
dorsed his views and announced that
the conference was highly successful.
