THB HEBMISTOH HXBAXD, HERMISTON. OREGON. WHAT FARM ACCOUNTING MEANT IN THE MANAGEMENT OF A FARM Successful Fanner Tells How Pencil Helped Guide His Operations and Swell His Income— An Aid to Better Credit— Shows Profits and Prevents Losses. ''HE owner and operator of one of the most successful dairy farms in Wisconsin prepared recently for the Agricultural Commission of the American Bankers Association a first hand statement of the part farm accounting has played in the management of his enterprise. This operator, W. J. Dougan, tells the following story: “When I started farming I began keeping a simple cash account, butysoon found that it was not sufficient accounting for farm purpose.. Such a record did not take Into consideration the vital fac tors of Improvements, growth of live stock or depreciation. "Since 1910 I have kept a complete account on the accrual basis. The accounts, however, are no more than any farmer can easily keep. The out standing benefits from keeping such accounts might be listed as follows: The Way It Works "1. Incom, tax reports mads easier. —Accurate and dependable Income tax reports can be made from the yearly accounts. By keeping them on file I am always ready to satisfy the tax Inspectors. “2. Accounting makes possible a budget system.—With the accumulat ed data of the past years, I can make out the budget for the coming year. The Income being fairly stable, the budget problem Is to adjust the ex penditures. If one branch of the busi ness will need extraordinary expendi ture such as new machinery, there must he a cut in some other branch, such as building or livestock pur chased, or fencing. ”3. Accounting gives a true basis for credit.—Especially has accounting meant for me larger credit and tiappy relations wilb my banker. With a complets financial statement before him the banker can Intelligently deter mine what credit I should have. With a full knowledge of the farm profits In the past. I know what credit I should accept No farmer or business man should accept credit from his bank unless he Is able to put the money into productive Investment, and his margin of profit assures the ability to repay the loan within a reasonable time. “For the farm this reasonable time cannot be three or six months. The farm turnover Is too slew for that. A helpful and Just period of farm credit for working capital must be from one to four years. "There Is another benefit from ac counting—the benefit of knowing whether one Is going up or down. By extra sales one might be flush of money and buy heavily, thinking be is coming out ahead, but In reality he Is sacrificing the future. On the other hand, one might feel pinched, and have little money to spend, but ln reality he is laying up capital.” The bankers Agricultural Commis sion has suggested the following form of farm credit statement.

B etter Y et Two boys were discussing sport “tlow high can you Jump?" asked one. “About four feet,” replied the other. “What can you do?" “Five feet.” came the prompt reply "How about the long Jump?" “Ten feet. What can you do?" "Eleven feet. What’s yonr time for the hundred?” But the other lad was a bit sus picious by now, so he replied: "Four seconds better than yours.” Another W ay to Do It A minister preaching his Sunday morning sermon was aw are that a large number of bis congregation were not listening to his talk. During this hour the ja n ito r step|>ed to the plutform and said, “Dr. Van Cleve, the church Is on fire.” The minister deliberately closed his Bible, saying. “ Very well, W illiam , thank you. Perhaps you can wake up the congregation."
