Records Needed AS
A Guide To Farmer

Many a farmer who has been
losing money for years without
knowing it has found that by keep
ing records he can find the leaks"
in his business, plug them, and
make his farm show profit.
In farming, said r. E. L. Greene,
assistant agricultural economist of
the N. c. Agricultural Experiment
Station, it's easy to lose money
without knowing it.
A farm may supply family with
food to eat and clothes to wear, but
at the same time bad cropping
practices may be wearing out the
soil so that at the end of the year
the farm may be worth consider
able less than it was at the first
of the year.
By keeping records, farmer can
tell which crops are most profit
able, whether the farming program
is balanced or not, and whether
the general cultural practices are
satisfactory, Greene continued.
Records kept in one year also
aid in planning the farming pro-
gram for the next year. They al
so provide a helpful means for de-
termining whether the program is
working out as planned, or wheth-
er changes should be made to
bring the program back into line.
A glance at the records can al
so show whether certain farm en-
terprises are costing more than
they are worth.
Records are a source of informa-
ton in making credit statements
that are valuable in the event it
is necessary to secure loan, or in
taking out insurance policies.
Early in January is a good time
to start keeping records for the
year, Greene added. Record books
and assistance in keeping them may
be obtained from county agents ov-
er the State.

we can so we will make money
while the maxim is good. But
this type of overcropping soon
wears out the soil.
"And when we plant every avail
able acre to cash crops, we are
likely to produce too much. Then
we have overproduction and prices

forced to lose their FARMS"
Smith: 'I came near losing mine
several times. It's tough, amt it?n
Brown: "And when prices are
real low, we feel that we've got to
plant cash crops on every possible

Reed May Succeed Switzerland
Tn U. S. Supreme Court Bench
Sutherland To retire On JAM
uary 49,. Was Against New
Deal Policies.

Washington. - Associate Justice
George Sutherland informed Presi-
dent Roosevelt last Thursday that
he will retire from the suprme
court in Is days, thus definitely
shifting the balance of power on
the high bench to the liberals.
High administration officials i'm
mediately began a campaign to
have Solicitor General Stanley
Reed named as successor to the 76-
year-old British-born jurist, Reed
is So.
Sutherland, slight, graybearded
master of rhetoric, has been asso-
ciated with the courts conserva-
tive faction since he was named to
the bench in 1922. He has voted
almcSt consistently against new
deal legislation.
For the past six years he has suf-
fered from recurrent stomach trou-
bic and, it was reported, considered
resigning Is months ago. Then
President Roosevelt opened his
campaign to expand the member
ship of the court with a view of OBJ
tanning more favorable rulings on
his, controversial program.
Sutherland Immediately aban-
doned his retirement plans, telling
friends that he refused to quit I'M
der fire. In swift succession the
Summers bill enabling jurists past
the age of rs to retire on full pay,
was passed by congress and the
senate killed the court plan.
Feeling that the court issue now
is" dead" Sutherland today ar
ranged to step off the bench at the
end of the January term. He called
newspaper reporters together and
handed them copy Of the letter of
retirement which he had sent to
the president It was brief and di-
rect, saying:
Having reached the age of more
than rs years and having held my
commission as associate justice of
the supreme court of the United
States and served in that court for
Is years, and thus being eligible
for retirement under the Summers
act of March /, 1887, entitled an
act to provide retirement of justic-.
es of the supreme court I desire
to avail myself of the rights, privi-
leges and judicial services specified
in that act; and to that end / here
byt retire from fegulsf active ser
vice on the bench, this retirement
to be effective on and after Tues
day, the 18th day of January, 1888"
