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

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.

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

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

escort of hundreds started again
for TCI Centro,! where an inquest was
ordered immediately.
