"KEEP ACCOUNTS"
rs GOOD RESOLVE

A good resolution for farmers to
make is "spend more time keeping
farm accounts so you can make
more money to spend-or save"
says Arthur j. eagle, assistant ex>
tension economist, State College Of
Washington.
Farming is a business" he says,
"and to succeed in any kind of
business today requires more atten-
ton to management and business
principles that was required at any
previous period"
Along with keeping accounts as
part of managing the farm, farm
ers should study the crop and live
stock outlook, in order to carefully
plan their farm operation.
Farm management studies by the
extension service show that there is
a wide variation in farm income.
Among the factors which cause
this are: size of business, size of
crop yields grown, kinds of live
stock and returns on them, eft1ci-
ency in use of labor and equip
ment, combination of crops and
livestock and efficiency in buying
and selling.
BY keeping and analysing farm
accounts, the farmer may discover
a weakness in one or more of these
factors. He then can take steps to
remedy this weakness.
The extension service of the State
College publishes a farm account
book that is easy to keep and yet
is a complete record of the years
operations.
Keeping the accounts is only part
of the game" They must be an
alyzed if the farmer is to get the
most value from them. On all books
that have been properly kept for
the year the State College will
make summary and analysis, free
of charge. Facts about the individ-
ual farmers business, of course, will
be kept confidential.
The farm account books can be
secured either at offices of county
agents or directly from the extern
sion service headquarters, Pullman.
Because the books are quite expen>
sive to print, a small charge is
made for them to defer this cost.

lemon with bean soup; tomato
sauce with lima beans; or salt pork,

WARDROBE EXHIBIT
AT AGENTS OFFICE


Women and girls of Benton
county have always been very much
interested in the care and upkeep
of their clothing so that they may
appear in dresses that have both
style and finish, says Miss Helen
Steiner, assistant county extension
agent. Good clothing many become
seedy in appearance if not taken
care of properly-this not only ap-
plies to the cleaning and pressing
but also is true of the correct stor-
age facilities. In Benton county
where there are frequent wind and
dust storms, clothing bags and pro-
tectors are real boon to the home
maker.
A very fine exhibit of accessories
containing all of the new ideas for
milady's wardrobe is now on dis
play at the county agents office
in Kennewick. This closet exhibit
was made UP by Miss Martha Low
cry, extension specialist in clothing
at the State College, and will be
on display at the county extension
office until the first of February.
Those interested in seeing this ex-
hibit are urged to call at the office
which is upstairs in the Telephone
Building.
prior to Saturday, the 22nd day of
January, 1888, will, as commanded
by law on said date, at the hour Of
10 o'clock AM. of said day, at

in the City of Prosser, Washington,

Coal Board Asks
Probe of Rail
Efficiency
BY the Associated Press.

The Bituminous Coal Commission
asked the Interstate Commerce Com
mission today to investigate "the
operating efficiency and economy"
of the railroads.
The coal commission urged the
investigation in memorandum op-
posing the railroads request for
continuance of temporary increases
in bituminous coal freight rates.
The increases are scheduled to end
with this year.
Such a general investigation, -
the coal agency argued, lis neces-
sary because, If transportation cost
is to be accorded more weight than
any other rate-making factor, as the
railroads contend" then producers
and consumers Of bituminous coal
have the right to expect that those
costs shall be kept at the minima
compatible with adequate, efficient
and economical service"
The petition described as per
functory and Scanty" the evidence
SO far presented at rate hearings
with regard to the carriers efficiency
and economy.

Wholesale Price Index
Receivers From Low

The wholesale commodity price
index compiled by the National
Fertilizer Association rose last week
after having reached a new low
point for the year in the week pre-
ceding. This index in the week
ended October 20 stood at 729,
against 1913 in the preceding week,
1873 a month ago and 822 a year
ago, based on the 1926 1928 average
as 100.
The general trend of prices during
the week was upward, with seven
OF the principal group indexes ad-
vancing and none declining. The
index of food prices, which has
moved within a narrow range in
recent months, showed a moderate
rise.
The trend of farm product prices
was upward, with higher prices for
IL items included in this group,
against declines for only four.
The sharpest rise in any of the
group indexes during the week was
in the metal average, rejecting the
rise in steel prices to the level
which prevailed several weeks ago.
The only other changes in the
metal group were rise in tin and
a slight drop in steel scrap.
Higher quotations for lumber took
the building material price index
to the highest point reached since
April
The sixth consecutive weekly ad-
vance was registered by the textile
price index, which, is now higher
than at any time since April.

Secretary Says Low Value

On Foreign Trade
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Morgenthau said yes.
terday he was still concerned about
the low values of the British pound
and French franc.
He reiterated statements Of last
week that although the price levels
of the two European currencies was
not serious, 1t necessitated study by
this Government to prevent situa-
ton in which American foreign
trade might be affected.
(The price of the pound has re-
mained at about $476 in the last
week, a level to which it returned
after the Munich peace settlement.
The day before the Munich settle
ment, the pound went down to
$3.50, compared with the tradi-
tional value of s4.86 and the prevail
ing price Of more than s49O most

The Secretary, when asked at a
press conference for comment on
the proposal of the New YORK
Chamber of Commerce for repeal
OF the silver purchase program. said:
III they feel that way, they should
direct their appeal to Congress
He said the administration had
no recommendations to make on
silver and that the Treasury pur-
chases OF that metal merely fol-
lowed the dictates of Congress,
which in 1884 ordered him to buy a
dollars worth of silver for every
three dollars of gold owned by the
treasury. The Treasury never has
come near this goal because gold
stocks have increased even more
rapidly than silver.
