FARM ACCOUNTING
By HARRY C. LANE
Of the Accounting Firm of Lane,
Bell ft Gill, Spokane.
NOTE.—Thii i« tho first of a series of
:n iii-lt^ i,n Ac-counting which will be fur
nished by the accounting liini of Lane.
Bell & Uill. During the series there will
he discussed proper methods for various
lines of business, nlso Kederal Income T;i\
nnil Kxress Profits Tax matters.
A business without a proper sys
tem of accounts is like a ship without
a rudder —it may drift along and fl
ounder about for a time but will never
arrive at an objective point.
When we say that every business
should have a proper accounting sys
tem we do not limit the word business
to mean the retail establishment, the
Jobber, or the manufacturer —but bu
siness in it's broadest sense which
covers every branch of commercial
transactions. The orchard, the
the farm and the home are business
institutions, and systematic operations
of these institutions are just as es
sential to success as are systematic
operations of the largest railroad,
wholesale house, or factory.
The very foundation of your busi
ness—any business—is In knowing
what becomes of your dollar; what
you give for it and what you get for
the dollar you give. During the past
few years the big packing interests
have engaged in an extensive adver
tising campaign and one packing con
cern in particular has endeavored to
explain to the people through illus
tration what becomes of the packers'
dollar.
You should be able to tell from your
records at the end of each month, or
at least at the end of each year, what
disposition has been made of the frac
tional part of each copper cent which
goes to make up your dollar. Let
us take the dollar for our foundation
In the retail mercantile establishment
there is a certain part of that dollar
used to pay the jobber for goods pur
chased; there is a certain part of it
used to pay for hired help; a certain
part for rent, light and heat; a cert
tain part for freight, drayage, and de
livery; a certain part for insurance
and taxes; a certain part for deprecia
tion. But in every case in the distri
bution of that dollar there must be a
certain fractional part of it come back
to the merchant, the farmer, or the or
chardist, in the shape of profits, for
otherwise the business could not for
long exist.
The dollar being apportioned among
the various channels of business, it is
of the utmost importance that a com
plete record be kept of the distribu
tion of each fractional part of that
dollar and the proper item of cost be
charged accordingly.
The incoming dollar must be like
wise properly distributed among the
different channels of revenue and a
proper record kept of each dollar re
ceived.
A simple accounting plan, it would
then appear, would be one by which a
record is kept of all dollars received
and all dollars disbursed, ample pro
vision of course being made for the
proper explanation as to t he distribu
tion of each incoming or outgoing dol
lar. Such a plan would be called a
record of receipts and disbursements
and the difference between the money
received and money paid out would in
dicate the profits of the business.
This plan may be looked upon by
some as being all that is necessary
for an accounting record but I assure
you that it is far from being complete
when a proper accounting system is
referred to. A complete system em
bodies more than a record of receipts
and disbursements, for uncompleted
transactions must be accounted for.
There may be monies receivable or
monies payable which must be con
sidered. There is overhead expense,
depreciation, and various other items
which may enter into the various
transactions. These items must be
considered before a true statement
of profits or losses can be obtained.
DAIRY COWS IN DEMAND
The demand for good dairy cows
was never greater. In the Yakima
and Kittitas valleys there have been
many carloads of cattle imported.
Now that the high price of hay and
grain is no longer, the farmers are
turning to the cow, realizing that the
income derived from the sale of dairy
products is one of the best sources
of income and that the cow affords an
outlet for the surplus hay and grain.
Cows today are selling around $125;
■ few good ones up to $200, and it is
estimated that there is a shortage of
at least 25,000 cows in this state. The
one thing that is essential and must
be adhered to if the dairyman is to
prosper is to keep only good, clean
cattle and those that are known and
established producers. A poor ww is
a liability and the sooner the status
of a herd is determined the quicker
will the owner reap the profits there
of. Buy or sell only cattle that are
free from disease and Join a testing
association so as to determine
whether or not your cow Is paying for
the feed consumed.

MATERNITY BILL
NATION'S LAW
Law Provides for Federal Coop
eration With State* by Or
ganized Board.
SIX STATES NOW ACCEPT
Law Protect! Parent* In Their Rights
to Liberty of Action Re
garding Children.
On the clay before Thanksgiving.
President Harding signed the "Mater
nijy Bill," providing for federal co
operation with the states in promot
ing the welfare of maternity and in
fancy. After more than three years
of struggle, the bill was passed by
both houses of congress by over
whelming votes. The children's bu
reau of the IT. S. department of labor
is given the administration of the act.
and the chief of the children's bureau
is made the executive officer. A board
of maternity and infant hygiene, con
sisting of the chief of the children's
bureau, the surgeon-general of the 11.
S. public health service, and the Unit
ed States commissioner of education,
is given certain powers of review anil
approvel. A total appropriation of
$1,480,000 is authorized for the cur
rent fiscal year, and an appropriation
of $1,240,000 for each of five years
thereafter. Bxcept for a very small
percentage to be used for administra
tive purposes, the money is to be div
ided among the states accepting the
provisions of the act, to be used, to
gether with state funds, for promot
ing the welfare and hygiene of mater
nity and infancy.
So eagerly was the passage of thiH
bill awaited that at least six states
in the 1921 sessions of their legisla
tures passed laws accepting the act,
if it should become a law, and author
izing a state board or division to co
operate with the federal government.
These states include Deleware, Min
nesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico,
Pennsylvania and South Dakota. The
rest of the states will not have to wait
until the next regular-sessions of their
legislatures, for the law provides that
if the legislature has not acted, the
governor may, in so far as the lawn
of his state permit, accept the pro
visions of the act and authorize a
state agency to cooperate with the
children's bureau until the legislature
has had opportunity to act. More
than 30 states have child welfare or
child hygiene divisions in their state
hoards of health, and in these states
the law provides that its administra
tion shall be in the hands of these
divisions. Any state desiring to ben
efit from the act must submit to the
children's bureau detailed plans for
its administration, and these plans are
subject to approval of the federal
board of maternity and infant hygiene.
How much money will a state ac
cepting the act receive from the fed
eral government to be used in making
maternity and infancy more safe? In
the first place, $10,000 the first year,
and $5,000 a year thereafter will be
paid each state indicating its desire
to cooperate. An additional $5,000
will be paid providing the state ap
propriates $5,000 of Its own for the
same purpose. That makes a total of
$15,000 the first year and $10,000 a
year for each year thereafter avail
able from' federal funds to each state
regardless of its size. In addition
$710,000 a year is provided to be dis
tributed among the states on the basis
of population, providing the amounts
thus apportioned are matched by state
appropriations.
The act contains specific clauses
protecting parents In their right to
liberty of action, and providing that
the states shall take the initiative In
preparing and carrying out plans.

Tbe unemployment problem, at no
time acute in Morton, is apparently
solved so far as this community Is
concerned, with the opening of three
of the sawmills. The Lake Creek
Lumber & Shingle company resumed
operations Tuesday, the woods crew
being put to work Monday. The
Stinson Lumber company .started its
mill Wednesday, The Chesser Lum
ber company will start its sawmill
next Monday During the time the
mills were closed, there was much
road work anil Considerable logging
done. The llritl Chapman cedar mill
has given employment to a number of
1 men lor several months. The Spauld-
Ing Timber company lias operated its
shingle mill, hut is now closed until
the Cowl It! river subsides. So, al
j together most of those who really de
sired work hero have been able lo
find it.
THE FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE
Many years ago very many years
ago a small party of men landed
from a boat on a rocky coast. The
men came from Palestine and the in
llOßpitable coast was the shore of
barbarian England.
The parly was headed by one Jo
seph ol Arimathea and he came to
tell the people of England, for the
first ol Jesus, who died for men and
women.
The natives would have nothing to
do with them—would not listen, or go
near them or give them food. For
days they traveled, chilled and hiin
gry, until, despairing, Joseph sank
down. As hi' diil so, he thrust his
•il.'iff inlu the ground. To the amuze
liienl ol' the Pilgrims, the staff began
lo bud; the Imds turned to leaves and
