Farm Accounts
How do you Judge which are your
most profitable farm operations?
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.

The Hermiston auto park it a
busy place these days, says O. 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.

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.
