m:V CAMPAIGN. OATEH IN DECEMBER.
A campaign to promote farm re
cord keeping has been planned Joint
ly by the Oregon State Bankers' As
sociation, the Oregon Agricultural
College, and the U. S. department
of agriculture.
"The project will encourage und
assist farmers to keep financial and
cost of production records," explains
It. V. liuiiii, farm demonstrator for
the extension service. "Tills practice
has not been generally developed
among farmers, although Its value
is not "questioned by them.
"The need for such records hus
been emphasized by the government's
requlrome&l that nearly all farmers
inn .1 submit income tax reports, to
determine whether they are subject
to the income tax. This n i Is
further emphasised in the s.ani re
cognition given to farmers by pride-
fixing commissions engaged in fix
ing prices on farm produce, because
aci urate data Is lacking.
Groups of l, mm rs in nine coun
ties have already agreed to cooperate
with the bankers and the College In
obtaining ami recording production
cost. Simple, uniform farm records
have been prepared and will be sup
plied to the farmers through the
county agents und farm bureau.
One more county group will ho
accepted by Mr. Ounn, who says
thai he can handle ten groups next
year. Officers i the bankers' as
sociation iaj thai the first issue t
B000 record books Is only one third
enough to upply the demand thai
will be created by the campaign.

According , to the picture presented

President Wilson's trip abroad to
attend the peace conference is a wise
an-! appropriate undertaking. Th 1
are sevt ral reasons why be shoul I I
at hand.
In the first place, the tii-rman ed-
Ivauces for peace have been made to
j,iu H,,,i prt.sented to Hie Allies
through his agency.
i ,ie second place, at the 101.
ference many questions will natura
v MaM up WBfefa will be subject-to
marked differences of opinion, the
Allies, necessarily harmonious In
j time of war, may disagree in regar '
to the terms of peace. Preshlen
Wilson's authority and personalis
. aro likely to be a strong factor In
composing any such differences. The
ffM that America hus nothing to as),
for herself will strengthen his posi
' Hon.
i the third place, though America
seeks neither Indemnity nor anneal
' tlon of territory, she has a real and
grave interest in many of the ad
juslmenls to be made. Who can
bundle these matters as well as Mr.
Wilson.' We applaud his decision to
go.
