He summed up the working plan
Of the system 0y saying the basic
record will indicate whether or not
adjustments in the farm business
are needed, and the detailed enter
prise record will give information
on where adjustments can be made.
Dudley L. Perry, Prince Edward
county agent, termed the new sys-
tenn good way to expedite farm
record keeping. but added that the
system does not necessarily replace
the present record book, Bulletin
229, made available to farmers.
In commenting on the electroAic
method today, Perry noted that the
records in the new system are kept
in code rather than under a farm
er's name. The only place where
the record and farmer are di-
rectly identified together is at VPI
where the summaries will be pre-
pared and then returned to the
county agent for distribution to the
farmer in confidential manner
Under the system no record is kept
in the county agents office. Peery
