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. Indicating
the records necessary to be kept:

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."

FOR nearly twenty years, the Model T Ford led the motor
industry and it still is used by more people than any other
automobile. More than eight million Model T Fords are in
active service today— an indication of their sturdy worth,
reliability and economy.
Because of the tremendous investment which people
have in these cars and because so many of them will he

Motor Company will continue to make replacement parts

its full duty consists not only in making a good automobile
at a low price, but also in keeping it running efficiently for
