Check List Suggested As Guide
To Better Farm Management

Good management often makes
the difference between profit and
loss on most farms, according to
Edward H. Schabinger, New Cas-
tle County Agent.
A check list by which a farm
er can compare his own manage
ment practices with those of sue
cessful farmers may prove help
ful. In suggesting such a list
Mr. Schabinger pointed out that
some points may vary depending
on the kind of farming practiced
and the area in which the farm
IS located. In general, though,
these major points win apply un-
der almost every situation They
are:
Follow a definite system of
farming which makes full and ef-
hcient use of all resources. Hit

The more we consider local
