KEEPING RECORDS
GUIDE TO FARMER
Best Way to Find Leaks"
and Check Them.
BY r. e. L. Greene. Assistant Agricultural
Economist. North CAROLINA Agricultural
Station-WNU Service.

BY r. e. L; Greene, Assistant AgriS.u ,o1
Station.-WNU Service.
Many farmer who has been los
ing money for years without know
ing it has found that by keeping
records he can find the "leaks" in
his business, plug them, and make
his farm show a profit.
In farming it's easy to lose
money without knowing it.
A farm may supply a 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 considerably
less than it was at the first of the
year.
By keeping records, farmer
can tell which crops are most prof
table, whether the farming pro-
gram is balanced or not, and wheth-
er the general cultural practices
are satisfactory.
Records kept in one year also aid
in planning the farming program
for the next year. They also pro-
vide a helpful means for determin-
ing whether the program is work
ing out as planned, or whether
changes should be made to bring
the program back into line.
A glance at the records can also
show whether certain farm enter
prises 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 a loan, or in
taking out insurance policies.

Electric Chair for Poultry

An electric chair" for chickens
that would outmode the old method
of killing poultry by decapitation,
is the invention for which a patent
was recently granted to a North Ac-
ton (Mass.) poultry man. On this
"chair" the chicken is hung head
down by one wire attached to it's
legs. The other wire clamps on
its head which fits in support. A
switch swiftly sends an electrocut-
ing charge through the chickens
body.

TIPS to
CHOOSING Flowers

IF YOU want flowers that come
into bloom early, plant seeds of
nasturtium, Virginia stock, zinnia,
sunflower, bachelors button and
alyssum.
Among the easiest flowers to
grow are the nasturtium, alyssum
and California poppy.
To achieve brilliant color in the
garden with a minimum of effort,
grow petunia and zinnia. They
require some care early in the
season, but once established they
grow luxuriantly, and nothing
provides more color.
If snapdragons and asters,
though among your flower favor
ties, are barred from your garden
because of the prevalence of rust
and wilt, return them to their de-
served places by getting rust and
wilt resistant varieties from your
seed dealer.
In your rock garden, try some
of the following: African daisy,
linaria, lobelia, statice, verbena
and Virginia stock, among the an
nuals; and columbine, English
daisy, forget-me-not and Iceland
poppy, of the perennials.

ACTION SEEN TO END
INJURY SUIT BARRIER
Chief Justice Groner Forecasts
Action on Bar to Cases
Against Executors,

Removal of the statutory bar in the
District to personal injury suits
against executors and administrators
was forecast today by Chief Justice D.
Lawrence Groner of the United States
Court of Appeals in an opinion con-
cerning an automobile accident case.
In suit brought here, Leola Wool
len asked damages for injuries she re-
ceived in September. 1884, in an acci-
dent in North Carolina. The suit was
against the administrator of the estate
of Clarence B. Seal, the driver of the
car involved in the accident Such
causes of action survive the death of
wrongdoer in North Carolina and
may be brought against his estate.
The law of the place where an acci-
dent occurs usually controls in subse-
quent suits for damages, but in this
instance Justice Groner said the suit
was barred here because the local
courts were without jurisdiction to
maintain it. since the District code
provides that executors and admins
traitors may not be sued in personal
injury accidents.
Removal by legislation of this bar
may very well follow the decision in
this case in order to put the District
in line with the modern trend of leg
islation and legal thought on this sub
ject,' the jurist remarked.
The Seal estate was represented by
Attorney Henry /. Quinn.

b the Associated Press.
James H. Perkins, New York banker
called on the banks of the country last
night to assist the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. lin every way possible"
in its campaign to supply easier credit
to business.
The chairman of the board of the
National City Bank made the sugges-
ton in radio discussion with r. F. c.
Chairman Jesse H. Jones The r. F.
C. recently resumed lending to busi-
ness and political subdivisions.
Mr.. Jones asked the banks to for
ward to the R. F. c. all legitimate ap-
plications for loans which could not
be fulfilled by the private lending
agencies
Every business, however small, that
Is being honestly conducted is entitled
to some line of credit" Mr.. Jones de-
clared
Results Hoped For.
Mr.. Perkins said he hoped the lend
ing program would produce these re-
suits:
That the banks would take new
look to see if they had gone as far"
as possible: that they would be able
to give advice that may easily be more
valuable than to lend money; and
that they could help the r. F. C. by do
ing preliminary spade work" on ap-
plications before they reach the Fed
eral agency.
There are two reasons why the
banks should cooperate with Mr.
Jones'" Mr.. Perkins asserted. The
first is that every effort that can
be made to help the business situa-
ton should be made. The second is
that to no instrumentality of the
Government or to no individual as
sociated with the Government are the
banks more indebted than they are
to the r. F. c. and its chairman, MIR.
Jones'"
Apply to Own Banks.
Mr.. Jones urged borrowers to apply
for loans first to their own banks,
adding that the r. F. c. wanted these
banks to participate if possible Par
ticipation arrangements, he said, ran
from so to 80 per cent of loan.
Mr.. Jones said the R. F. C.. would
be glad to lend to utilities for extern
sion and new equipment upon terms
and conditions appropriate to the
terms of the investment"
The R. F. c., he declared, had ap-
proved loans of approximately ST.
100000 to business and industry since
President Roosevelt authorized re-
sumption of such lending on Febru-

SCIENTIFIC WORK X
oaslt rs HARD TO FIND
fIsy Asx6efatrd Pressl

NEW YORK, April 1.-Scien-
tific jobs are scarce too.
An official of one of New
York's great scientific institutions
tells of a man who asked for
work.
'He was the mildest, gentlest
man | ever met, the scientist
said. ''He sat in my office and
told me his story.
He was, it developed, from a
monastery not far from New
York city. He had been there
five years in his novitiate.
But he had not taken the vows.
This was on account of his sister.
MY sister,, he said, sis slowly
starving to death. She can get no

first of her.

to make money for her. But l can

thing you do here is the only
thing | know-all / am trained
for.
But he did not get a job in the
scientific institution. In many, al
though not all institutions, science
has been cut harder than other
activities.
A few industries have taken up
more research, as means of
meeting depression problems. Ac-
cording to the Mellon Institute,
some of these industries have
profited by increasing science in
the face of the depression. But
not many of those in control of
money have followed such a pol
