Root, Craftsbury; SECRETARY-TREASURER, C. W. Richmond, Newport H. F. JOHNSON, County Agent and Editor of Agricultural News, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE: S. E. Gray, Morgan; S. T. Vance, Glover; G. E. Metcalf, Irasburg: A. R. Wells, Newport, and Officers Newport, Vermont. Telephone 341-3 Res. phone, 268-5 Farm Accounts. This winter the county agent will spend some time in encouraging the keeping and use of simple farm ac counts. This is considered one of the most important parts of the farm bureau work. Do you keep any record of how much you take in and where it comes from? Do you know how much you pay out for the different farm ex penses? Do you ever have figures to compare one year with another? Too many Orleans county farmers must answer "No" to these questions. WHY KEEP ACCOUNTS? Farming is a business. The most successful farmers are good business men. A business man of any kind keeps some kind of accounts. Why? So that he does not have to guess, he knows about his business. A farmer should keep simple accounts to know how he stands, to be able to compare one year with another on his farm; to compare his business with the av erage of other farmers, in order to see whether he can improve by doing more like what the most successful farmers are doing. "We can do bet ter by doing what the better farmers do." WHY DON'T YOU KEEP AC COUNTS. Is it because you do not know how ? The county agent will be glad to help you. He does not recommend any complicated system of bookkeeping. You can study your farm business with a list of your farm receipts and farm expenses and an inventory once a year. Any farmer who can read and write can do this much. Is it because you do not feel like it after a hard day's work outside? Keeping any kind of records is most ly a matter of habit. If you get in to the habit you will have no trouble in keeping accounts. It is not very hard to form a habit when we know that habit will bring us high returns. Is it because you think you do not have time? What would you be doing when you might keep ac counts? Wouldn't you be putting m that extra time in the barn or field trying to make another dollar ? If you can make that extra dollar just as well by spending a short time with a pencil and paper why not do it the easier way? If you do keep simple accounts you can study the business side of your farming. You can see the weak points and how they may be improved. By improving these you will make more money. After all, anv farmer who has tried it, knows that it takes very little time anyway. Is it because you just don't get at it? T-rhaps you do know it is worth whPc but do not get started. The count aent is on the job to help you get tarted. He believes you can do bettor by keeping accounts and using ther- The county agent will soon have a sun- ' of simple farm account books put out by the extension service at Bur' "tor.. These can be obtained for th-3 printing cost, about 15 cents. Wrlt in if you want a book. Farm ers -vho know say that the short time the" snend in keeping accounts is the most profitable time they put in dur ing the whole year. Know what you make, know how you make it, and the chances are you will be able to maka money. Realize that it is just as possible to make money using a pen cil and paper as by using any farm tool. Farm Management. In the column below is given a brief summary showing the impor tant factors affecting profits in farm ing on Orleans county farms. This is based on records given by 31 farm ers of the county for their past year's business. W. J. Tubbs, farm man agement demonstrator for this state, has summarized these figures which should prove of much interest to the j farmers of Orleans county. During this winter opportunity will be given to tlio farmers of various communi- i ties to start simple farm account books. The county agent has a sup ply on hand and will be glad to assist any farmer to start one for the com ing: year. Meetings will be held in different communities where there is a demand for this sort of work for the pui-pose of starting these books. Any farmer who wishes to make "farming a business" for this coming year is invited to attend these meet ings and get a simple farm account book started. The old adage "A pen ny saved is a penny earned" was nev er more true than today. Find out the weak places in your business and strengthen them and thereby save the pennies. THE BUSINESS OF FARMING. Records of a year's business on the farm have been taken for three con secutive years in Orleans county. Early in 1917, records for the year 1916 were taken from 31 farmers. The records have been taken by the Orleans County Agricultural associa tion working with the extension ser vice of the state ?.gricultural college. Many farmers realize that they do not k.'ow as much as they should about the business side of their farm ing. A demonstration of this kind shows how the different parts of the farm business may be summarized It rray also demonstrate the impor tant points limiting a farmer's profit and suggest methods of increasing the returns for his labor. HOW TO SUMMARIZE YOUR YEAR'S BUSINESS Perhaps the best way to figure out what a farmer makes on the farm is to determine the wages for his year's work. This is called the labor in come. The labor income for 1916 was worked out from the figures which were given by farmers on 31 farms of this county Receipts of the farm business in clude all farm products sold or trad ed; if the value of the cattle at the end of the year is greater than the value at the beginning of the year, this is a receipt, the same as when more cattle are sold than are pur chased. An increase in the inventory of feed and supplies is also counted as a receipt. The average farm re ceipts for 31 farms in this county were $2,353. Farm receipts include receipts from milk or cream, hogs, eggs, poultry, crops, sugar and syr up, work done off the farm, and in crease in inventory. Few farmers take an inventory of their business once a year, but this is important if a man is to know whether or not he has made an increase in the value of his business during the year by the ad dition of new machinery, more stock or what not, or by an increase in the value of his stock. The expenses of carrying on the farm business for a year include the current cash expens es, also the upkeep of buildings and machinery, the value of any unpaid labor outside of the house done by other members of the family, and the decrease in the inventory value of feed on hand if any occurs. The average farm expenses for 31 farms in this county were $1,153. Taking the expenses out of the receipts left $1,200, which is called the farm in come. This farm income was the re turn on the investment and pay for the work done. Let us see how much of this the average farmer"s money earned. First it is necessary to know the amount of money invested. The average capital invested on these 31 farms in Orleans county was $8,951. Capital includes real estate, live stock, machinery, feed and supplies, and cash to run the farm. This mon ey might have earned five per cent if it had been put out at interest. It is fair to charge five per cent on it when invested in the farm business. Interest at five per cent on $8,951 was $447. This is what the average capital earned. Average farm income $1200 Interest on capital 447 Average labor income $753 Taking the income from the capi tal out of the farm income, left the income for labor, or the labor income. In addition to the labor income each farmer had the living for his family which the farm furnished. This amounts to about $400 per fami ly yearly. A LARGE BUSINESS WAS THE MOST PROFITABLE. The farms were grouped according to the number of cows per farm. In the first group were the small farms with less than 13 cows while in the third group were the large farms of over 18 cows. Notice how the labor income rose as the size of the farm business increased. Number of Uows per t arm Under 13 13 to 18 Over 18 A vera are Labor Income $521 703 1058 No. Labor incomes ovnr f'.too 2 in 11 3 in 10 8 in 10 GOOD COWS INCREASE THE LA BOR INCOME Milk Receipts per Cow Under $60 $60 to $80 Over $80 Average Labor Income $662 755 832 No Labor Incomes over $'J00 3 ir. 8 5 in 14 5 in 9 DO YOUR COWS RETURN MAR KET PRICES FOR THEIR FEED? The farms were sorted by the to total livestock returns for each $100 worth of feed fed to the livestock. Poor cows and poor feeding would put a farm in the first group. High producing cows and the feeding of economic rations according to pro duction would put a farm in the last group. Live Stock Re turns per $100 Food Fed Average No. Labor Labor Incomes Income over $900 Under $116 $548 1 in 10 $116 to $138 710 4 in 11 Over $138 1005 8 in 10 There are also other factors which affect the labor income a farmer makes. Good crop yields are impor tant. The farm business should not be too specialized. There should be more than one important source of income. Labor should be used to the best advantage. This is especially important now, with the labor scar city and high wages. One of the most important advantages of the larger farms is that labor may be used more efficiently. The important factors of the farm business which affect profits are shown below, the figures being the av erages for the 31 farms in the dem onstration. SIZE OF BUSINESS Total capital invested $8951.

During the past month a number of meetings have been held in different communities so that the ' women might become acquainted with the movement which is being made to se cure a home demonstration agent for this county. Owing to bad roads and unfavorable weather only a small number were present at these various meetings. Five communities, however, organized and appointed a woman to have charge of the work of securing new members and creating interest in this work. The following is the list of organized communities with the names of the directors in charge. North Craftsbury, Mrs. Fred B. Root. South Albany, Mrs. Clyde Eldridge Irasburg, Mrs. E. N. Knapp Lowell, Mrs. M. C. Durivage Brownington, Mrs. E. S. Kelley A membership fee of one dollar will be charged those becoming mem bers payable one month after the home demonstration agent is hired. There ought to be a membership of at least 300 or 400 women in order to make this proposition a success. Women capable of filling these posi tions are very difficult to find at the present time, but if Orleans county is organized with a large membership, we shall be in a position to make good use of a home demonstration agent when one is found. The ex tension service at Burlington will pay the salary of such an agent, the coun ty to pay her expenses for travel, etc. It would seem that there should be a large number of women in this coun ty who would back such a movement with their dollar as well as their in terest. In the near future someone will be appointed in each town not yet organized to have charge of this work and membership fees may be paid to these town directors. These women directors will also arrange for lec tures or demonstrations in various communities oftentimes in connec tion with some regular meetings, such as Red Cross, Grange, etc. The different lines of work which may be taken up by a home demon stration agent may be outlined some thing as follows: ORGANIZATION Local clubs, Boys' and Girls' clubs, local organizations FOOD Production, preservation, preparation, food values, food se lection and special diets. HOUSEHOLD MANAGEMENT Equipment, arrangement, organi zation, care of rooms and labor sa ving devices. SANITATION The house, food, civ ic problems, and hygiene. CLOTHING Textiles, selection, gar ment making, laundry work, care of clothing, renovation. CONSERVATION Food, clothing, fuel, labor. This work will be taken up in vari ous ways lectures, demonstrations, newspaper articles, local clubs, circu lar letters, personal visits and tele phone calls. Talk with your local town director, if you have one, or the county agent about this proposition. Executive Committee Meeting. At a meeting of the executive com mittee held at Orleans Friday sever al matters of importance were acted upon. 1. Urban Warner of Jay was elected a member of the executive committee to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of R. A. Ritchie of ureensDoro. 2. W. J. Tubbs of the extension service at Burlington gave some ex cellent suggestions as to the carrying out of a farm management project. This project will be given considera ble attention this winter and it is hoped that a large number of farm ers will start a simple system of farm accounts. 3. It was voted to put on a good live membership campaign for mem bers for the Agricultural association. Committeemen in each town in the county will make it a point to see every farmer in those towns. 4. It was voted to assign to each member of the executive committee definite projects which he is to be in charge of. The following assignments were made: C. H. Root in charge of Organiza tion Project. R. A. Dutton in charge of Farm Management Project. C. W. Richmond in charge of Fi nance and membership. J. J. Labelle in charge of Crops Project. George Metcalf in charge of Soils Project. A. R. Wells in charge of Dairy and Livestock Project. Urban Warner in charge of Legume Project.

New York iiYenla& Sua. NOTES The county agent would like to se cure the names of all men who kept one of the farm account books this year secured from Mr. Deuel. Will you not drop him a line if you have 1 .A. . i 1 j Kepi one 01 these records. j The appraiser for the land bank at ! Springfield is in the county making j appraisals of the property of those ; men who are charter members of the Farm Loan association. Several new I men have been admitted to member- ship in this organization since it ; started. W. J. Tubbs of Burlington has been assisting the county agent in a series of meetings this past week. There was an average attendance of over 20 farmers per night at each of the meetings. The chemicals situation, farm loans, and farm management were the topics taken up. At a., meeting of the Lamoille Val ley Cow Testing association recently held, the tester, H. H. Buchanan, was nirea lor another year. Mr. tfuchan i an has done some excellent work in this association and these farmers realize how much it means to them even though it cost much more than it did a counle of vears aco to nm j such an association. Freight conditions are pretty likely to be bad this coming winter. The farmers that get in their supply of feed, chemicals and new machinery early are the ones that will profit thereby. Every day sees the size of our army increased which means more cars tied up to carry supplies. Freight conditions are bound to grow worse instead of better. During the coming winter there will be an extension school in agricul ture and home economics at North Craftsbury. The farmers of North Troy are also working up a petition for a school there while the women are anxious also to secure a home economics school. Watch for notices of these two schools. Everyone in these communities should make their plans to be regular attendants at both the morning and afternoon ses sions. Are you going to keep a record of your farm receipts and expenses this coming year? Do you know where the weak points are in your farm business? Is it worth while to know whether or not your farm is a good paying proposition as it is now man aged? The county agent has a sup ply of simple farm account books in which a number of farmers in this county are keeping a record of their business on the farm. If you want help in starting one, write or tele phone the office. LITTLE ONES AND OLD ONES James Edwards, 208 Harriett St.. Montgomery, Ala. wri'es: 1 sleep all nij-'ht and cough but little. I feel like a new man now from using Foley's Honey and Tar. My whole family is using it now the little ones and the old ones. It has cured our coughs and 1 broken our colds. Foley s Honey and Jar clears I stopped air passages, removes phlegm, heals raw inflamed membranes, soothes sore chest, makes diffi cult breathing easy, and relieves those deep-seated racking coughs, fred U. ierce, liarton; u. H. Hunt, Evansville. The. Sugar Situation. Reduce your purchase and con sumption of sugar by one-third. From reliable sources, it is known that the American nation faces a su gar famine unless individuals and families begin to conserve sugar at once. Our fondness for sugar has passed from necessity to extrava gance and actual waste. Without any risk to health or well being, the sugar consumption of the average person can be lowered; and anyone who uses sugar in excessive amounts will be the better for using less. The American people have been us ing sugar at the rate of 90 pounds per year per capita, or one andthree fourths pounds a week. The French have been for some time on a ration of half a pound a week. Unless we can send them 100,000 tons before 1918, their ration will be reduced to nothing. If the Ameicans will re duce by one-third their purchases and consumption of sugar in any form until after January 1st, when the new West Indian crop will be available, the allied nations can be supplied.
