A Farmer Who Has Learned the Value of Keeping Accounts—A Portion of His Inventory Record. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Here is a medley of familiar say ings—some with variations —each of which applies to farm accounting an<l so to the problem of marketing farm products: “Figures don’t lfe.” “A calculation in time saves nine.” “Foresight is better than hindsight.” ’“lt pays to count the cost.” Specialists in the office of farm man agement. could add to this list almost indefinitely, for their studies of meth ods of farm management reveal the tremendous need of accounting sys tems on American farms. The farmer wants to know whether his wheat pays, whether his cows pay, and whether his orchard pays, and yet he seldom has sufficiently accurate figures to an swer such questions. Above all lie ought to know ami yet frequently does not know, if Ids farm as a whole is a paying proposition. Department of agriculture specialists do not claim that the systems of accounting for farms which they recommend will be absolutely exact. They are, neverthe less, sufficiently accurate for all ordi nary requirements. The department does not furnish sets of hooks to farm ers. The systems which it recom mends require only such books as can be purchased of a. stationer or dealer in hooks and school supplies. No Special Training Required. Practical working systems of ac counts which anyone may adopt with out special study are recommended. One of these is a direct-entry system requiring no preliminary books for original entries, which later would have to he ported or copied into per manent accounts. From two to ten minutes a day, in vestigation shows, is all the time re quired In keeping books, according to tlie ifmpler methods suggested by fed eral specialists. This does not'include a day or two, possibly more, required at the end of the year to close up the hooks and start a new set. It is rec ommended that the accounting year be started some time after the last crop is harvested in the fail and before the first crop operations are started in the spring. The beginning should be made on the first day of some month. Inventory Highly Important. To many the inventory required hi effective farm accounting is a big buga boo, hut unnecessarily so. Many farm ers keep careful accounts throughout the year, hut fail to realize that they are of relatively little use, without the inventory, in showing the year's in come. As a matter of fact the taking of the inventory is not such a difficult task as many think-, and probably will not require more than four or live hours —]K)Ssibiy only two hours —to complete. The inventory should be a detailed list of an items of farm property and the values thereof, including the farm, the farm buildings, the horses, the cat tle and other live stock, machinery, tools, feed, produce, supplies, cash on hand and in the bank, amounts due from other persons and owed to other persons, and the value of growing crops. The latter is calculated by adding the value of labor and mate rials already spent on those crops. The thing which the United States department of agriculture emphasizes is the urgent need of keeping some form of systematic, accounts. The elaborateness of the records will de pend upon what the farmer wants to know, and the time be has available f&r keeping accounts. The department will be glad to suggest a system which will enable him to figure his income tax and ascertain what his farm as a whole Is making. It can also suggest a system which will enable him to de termine approximate production costs on his farm. For others, particularly owners of very large farms, the de partment of agriculture Is prepared to recommend a detailed eost account ing system which may require the services of a bookkeeper. For the , THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR, MT. VERNON, GEORGIA. men engaged in production on a large scale such a system will supply inval uable information. > Accounts Aid in Buying and Selling. Every farmer is li buyer and a seller as well as a producer. lie must know tlie condition of his business if he is to buy and sell successfully. It is for each farmer to decide how extensive a set of accounts lie wants to keep. Tlu> fact about which he should have no doubt is the value and necessity of at least a simple accounting system. The old adages quoted above are con sidered very much in point by farm management officials. Figures, they say, do not lie regarding farming any more than regarding oilier subjects. A few minutes’ daily calculation may save hours of needless toil, which is another way of saying “a stitch in time saves nine.” Farm accounting gives tlie farmer a foresight which everybody recognizes ns better than hindsight. Finally, it does pay lo “count the cost,” for farming by rule of thumb is destined to become obso lete. INCREASE IN VALUE OF FARM PLOW LANDS Something Occurred That May Be Called Phenomenon. Least Rates of Advance Are Found in New England and Middle Atlantic States—Upward Movement 'n Corn Belt. When farm plow lands increase in value per acre by one-fifth In one year and by one-half In four years, some thing has occurred that may he called a “phenomenon.” These increases in value are Indicated by the results of investigations by the bureau of crop estimates. In March, 1910, plow lands in tlie United States had the average value of $58.39; in tlie same month in 1917 the average was $02.17; in 1918 it was $08.38; in 1919, $74.31; and at the same time of the year in 1920, $90.01, building values in all years not being included In tlie average. The imrage value of 1920 is 54 per cent, above that of 1910, 45 per cent flbove 1917, 32 per cent above 1918, and 21 per cent above 1919. Hence it appears that by far the greatest rate of yearly increase was from 1919 to 1920. To the extent that plow-land values are related to crop prices, this lag in the advance of land values be hind the advance in crop prices Is ac cording to rule. Values approximately doubled In the South in four years, and that is a part of the country where plow lands have low values. They are overtaking the higher values of other states. The least rates of advance in values are found in the New Krigland and Middle Atlantic states. In the corn belt, where values are highest, the upward movement Is strong. Plant a gardeh. It pays in many ways. « • • Seeds must he planted in moist soil hut not in wet or sticky soil. • • • Haul out the manure and old straw stacks and scatter It mi the fields. •*’ • • For pasture purposes timothy or al slke clover have been mixed with red clover for planting on light soils. * * * Doubtless, If farmers were to keep records of what their gardens pro duced they would find them the most valuable plots on the farm.

If You Need a Medicine You Should Have the Best Have you ever‘stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are ex tensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten ? The reason is plain—the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless alia in system the r emedy is recommendeir by those- who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says “Take for example Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent re sults, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a sale.” According to sworn statements *and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Or. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is due to the fact, ao many people claim, thr it fulfills al most* every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.

ASK OVER BILLION INCREASE Railroads Claim They Are Entitled to Increase To Bring Income To 6 Per Cent Basis Washington.—The nation’s railroads will need an additional $1,017,000,000 to bring their income to the G per cent basis provided in the transpor tation act. Through the association of railway executive, the roads proposed to the interstate commerce commission to day that this sum be realized through increased freight charges, leavihg the passenger rates at the present level. The advances in freight rates pro posed were: Eastern roads 20.4 per cent to yield an advance in all revenues of 21.1 per cent, or $544,000,000. Southern roads 30.9 per cent to provide 20.7 per <4>nt larger revenue. Western roads—2:l.o per con*, to ad vance all revenues 17 per cent. Presentation of the figures maiked the formal opening of the railroad rate case. While detailed statements submitted to the commission covered only tln» eastern lines, estimates of the needed increase of ' the western and southern groups aeeompanied the initial suggestions upon which the commission is to determine an entire new rate structure. The rate figures of the eastern lines, embracing 144 systems, terminal and switching companies, were laid before the commission by Daniel vVillard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio, and chairman of the executives’ rate committee for the eastern territory. Similar statements, showing the re quirements of llie western and south ern carriers, will bo supplied the com mission in a few days. The analyses of conditions, the relationship of op erating expenses and revenues and (he questions of requesting increases are largely the same in each and the rep resentations of the eastern linos were said to indicate the questions which the commission will deal with in es tablishing the western and southern rates. BLUEBEARD LEADS POSSE TO THE BODY OF MURDERED WIFE Body Found By Searching Part/ in Gulch Following Directions Os The Murderer Dixieland, Cal. The body of Nina Lee Delony lias been found by the searching party directed by Walter Andrew Watson, tier alleged slayer. Five mist-a north of Coyote Wells, Watson halted the ambulance. “There’s tho gulch,” he said. As sisted by deputy sheriffs, Watson walked to a spot near a small cliff. “There’s the ledge,” he said, point ing. Deputy sheriffs turned a few shovelfuls of earth and revealed the body. Watson, haggard, white-faced and with staring eyes, due lo Ids physical condition, was unshaken until the body of ids victim lay in view. As lie walked feebly from the ambulance to the place where he said the body was buried, he was accompanied by scores of officers, public officials, newspapermen and photographers. More than 100 curiosity seekers fol lowed the party. Seventy-five auto mobiles, carrying nearly r>oo people had made the trip across the desert from El Centro, Then one of the mgn dropped ids shovel and bent forward. An instant later the canvass-shrouded form of I lie dead woman was taken from the small grave into which it liad been jammed, distorted and almost broken by the I force which iiad been applied to thrust it into the narrow grave. The canvass was opened just enough to make sure that there was no mistake. Then it was allowed to rest, until a casket arrived and liu prisoner, the body of his victim and escort of hundreds started again for TCI Centro,! where an inquest was ordered immediately.
