By the amount of money you aot ally receive from them without re gard to the cost? The trouble with most systems of farm accounts is that they are so complicated that they are not kept up after the ln't- ial enthusiasm works off. Any one can devise and keep simple cost rec. ords of the time and material used by hla particular farm operations. Farming is as much a buslneae as banking but too few farms are run as businesses. A little time regu larly set aside for the purpose of keeping records from which you can analyze your business can be made your most profitable moments.

W. Bailey, who has leased the grounds from the city. 147 cars registered there during May, and 10 and 12 cars is no unusual number for a night. Mr. Bailey has made many improvements for the convenience of tourists. He has moved the main part of the grounds onto his own property, which gives tourists the advantage of a windbreak on the south and west. A number of new ranges for cooking have been set up, some in building^ which have been erected on the grounds. These shelters are electrically lighted.* Many tables and benches have been set up« and minor points of comfort looked after. Mr. Bailey dlsposeg of all his farm produce at the camp. He finds that all his work Is being well repaid in adver tisement, as many travelers from some distance make special efforts to reach Hermiston for the night, having been advised to do so by-par ties met on the road during their trip. Mr. Bailey says that he finds in talking to tour'stg that the situ-, atton in California Is cutting down the travel quite a little. « * MANY RIDERS C0MIN6 17277230 * « c In the morning papers of Port land under date of May 19. there ap- apeared a story under headlines ‘Co- Operative Associations Declared Fail ure," which quoted State Market Agent Spence wth filing a report with Governor Pierce In which was the statement "It is time to go no further with marketing assoclatons" and In the headlines and story the impression was carried that the mar ket agent had seen the futility of further work on co-operative lines and recommended abandoning the work. Because of the fact that the story has been more or less printed by the country papers, and because of the further fact that was not true, the market agent wishes to correet the errors. This was not a report filed with the governor, but simply a part of a regular press letter to the state press. In It the market agent stated “It Is time TO GO FURTHER with marketing as sociations.” while the story In the Portland dally stated "It Is time to go NO further," making an exactly opposite statement than was made. Only half of the article was print ed. leaving the co-operative story half told. The error was doubtless a confusion with the writer or In the newspaper office.
