FARM ACCOUNTS

The remaining farm accounts Of the
Is started more than a year ago.
have been gathered up by the Coun-
ty. agent during the last week. On
the whole the books have been espec-
tally well kept, some of them being
almost models in bookkeeping. These
Will be used in an analysis of farm
ing conditions in the County, follow
ing which an analysis sheet will be
returned to each cooperator. This
sheet will show various ,demonstra-
tons in regard to the cooperator's
individual farm as compared to a
study Of these same facts on the
average of the % farms from which
records have been secured. This is
the second year that these analysis
sheets will have been returned.
This program was started with the
idea of its continuation for a five
year period. To date one cooperator
has been lost by his moving out OF
the County and one by dropping.
OF the remaining % all are continu-
ing with the record for another year.
Records will be sent to a few addi-
tional farmers in the very near flu
ture in the hopes that the number
may be brought up to 80 or better.
Those who have been keeping the
records report that they feel sure
that they can keep a much better
record another year and that they
feel that the record is very much
worth while. We are sure those who
have been selected as possible. CO.
operators for the remaining three
years will feel the same way if they
will simply give the work the small
amount of time required at compar-
atively regular times.
We believe that this piece Of work
is one of the most valuable being
carried on by farmers in the County
! from the standpoint of development
of long time program.

County Agent.

HERD PROGRESS

I can do anything that have made
up my mind is the best thing to do
in making a better dairy program for
my farm, is the sense OF statement
recently made to us by dairy farmer
in the County in the discussing Of
a need of developing herd upon the
farm in which every cow could be
profitable unit. This man, after
considering carefully, his real pro-
gram in the dairy industry had come
to see that the most important step
for him to take was the securing
the service of a pure-bred sire of
proven ability.
If there ever was time when good
cows will prove their worth it is the
present. For the great majority of
dairy farmers there is but one way
to get the better cows and that is
through carefully breeding program
which must include herd records of
some kind plus the use of a good
sire, preferably sires which have
been proven. In some cases, farmers
will be tempted to get entirely out of
the dairy industry and in many of
these probably this would be the
best thing to do, but for those who
have reasonably good individuals in
the herd it would seem that a real
herd building program would pay
well. We believe that the statement
of the farmer quoted above is one
which every dairy farmer could well
consider.

Stealing may often satisfy child's
unrecognized physical or mental need.
The desire to have more than he has
is the basic reason for a child's dis
honest acquisition of objects" de-
clares Mrs. Eva Williams, State Col
lege child specialist and director of
the nursery school.
There are many children who
crave candy and sweets This craving
is usually the indication of a highly
nervous, tense, poorly nourished
child. The child often begins by TAX
ing sugar or sweets. Later he learns
that pennies buy sweets. He steals
the penny and buys candy. A chain
Of associations has begun that may 60
on in an unending fashion. Some
day he will desperately crave sweets
and will find neither candy nor
money to take. Then he takes an
attractive article and trades it for
candy. In later years he may steal
and pawn or sell objects in order
to buy sweets The whole incentive
in such cases lies in disturbed nutri-
ton.
Sometimes child may crave
more attention than he is getting.
He happens to steal an article and
Immediately gets a lot of attention
The attention may be unpleasant and
disciplinary, yet he prefers it to no
attention. His stealing is apt to con-
tinue in order to supply the excite
ment he gets out of it."
