Bookkeeping for COOPERATIVE organ.
ixations,

l[dSiOISs
Double entry bookkeeping is urged
upon all farmers cooperative societies
in a recent publication Of the United
States Department of Agriculture Bull
letin No. 178, "Co-Operative Organiza-
ton Business Methods" The very life
of a cooperative organization, says the
bulletin, depends upon the confidence
it's members posses In it, and such con-
fdence is impossible unless the records
are Enthusiastically accurate. The double
entry system is the only one which af-
fords a complete check and should
therefore be adopted in all cases.
Since the cooperative organization
acts as the agent Of the grower in
marketing his product, the books Of
the organization must not only contain
the usual records of any business en-
terprise, but must also show a clear
record Of each growers shipments.
The system must be sufficiently elastic
to take care of the maximum volume
Of business at the busy seasons and at
the same time be economical.
The six essential requirements for
such a system are stated in the bulle-
tin as follows:
(a) A complete set OF financial
records showing the business transac-
lions and the results thereof.
(b) A record of each members
transactions with the organization.
(c) Capability of taking car Of a
maximum amount of business during
the shipping season.
(d) C~apability of returning to the
members the proceeds from their pro
ducts within a reasonable time.
(e) Clear pooling records when
kept, SO that any discrimination can
be shown quickly.
() Auxiliary records which will
give statistics and valuable informa-
ton for the conduct of the business.
These records must Der accurate.
The necessity for providing a regular
system for safeguarding the cash is
also emphasized in this bulletin, and
inner precautions are given whichit is
said should be adhered to strictly.
(1) All entries of cash should be ex-
plicit and items supporting such en-
tries should be filed so that they are
accessible for reference and vertical
ton. ia
(3) No entries should be recorded
in the cashbook which do not relate to
cash.
(9) The full receipts of each day
should be deposited in the bank.
() All cancelled checks should be
fled in numerical order.
60 Duplicate checks should al
ways be covered by indemnity bonds.
(6) Reconciliation should be made
zach month between cash or check reg
lister and bank passbook balances.
ca Permanent record of these
reconciliations should be made.
81 Checks, sales slips, receipts,
etc., should be numbered with a mum
bering machine. ANY which are spoil
ed should be marked void and left in
the book.
80 A regular system should be
used for the acknowledgement Of all
| cash sales, or miscellaneous cash items
received.
The auditing of accounts also should
receive more attention than is fire.
auently the case. At least once a year
an expert accountant should go over
the books Of the organization. To
minimize the cost of this small associa-
lions or circles can be formed by the
organizations within a certain radius
and a competent auditor can be n
gagged to do the auditing for all.

After cleaning the dropping boards,
scatter a little dry earth over them.
This will make the cleaning easier

That is because Brown uses dry

of the dry cells rates about 11a

doesn't learn much from a cheap

That much settled Smith procur-

to test the storage battery Here
his experience as a seasoned and
conscientious car owner came in

knew that recharge was in order

Winslow Teachers Are

One hundred per cent of the

port received by ]. w Crabtree, of
Washington, secretary of the asso-
citation, from g. H. Madden, super
intendent of schools. In a letter
report, Mr.. Crabtree says: 1--WE are
proud of your one hundred per cent
membership in the National Educa-

your teachers realize the necessity
of solidifying the profession. You
and your associates are to be con-
graduated on this record. You will

1t has more than 100000 members.
1t is the largest professional teach
ers association in the world and

enter the profession as will attract
the most talented men and women;
CD The establishment of depart
