„ oW MUCH AUK YOU
"V MAKING OH LOSING
(By O. T. Harper in the National
Field.)
/ one thing that will probably help
ore than any other in the working
"°t of a successful marketing plan is
"1 keeping of farm records. We
'_, t0 Know what a thing has cost
'!, before we put it on the market.
1 if a manufacturer did not know
how m uch his products cost him.
l, o w would he know what price to
' ut on them?
' do you know what you ought to
ret or each of your products in or
er to be able to stay in the busi
ness?
' do you know how much you make
or lose each year?
Doi you know whether you make
en all crops and. if not. on which you
lose?'!
If you lose on any one crop, do
, oU always see where the leak is?
Do you know how much it costs
on to make and market your cotton,
rain, pork, beef, fruit, horses, mules
of timber?
Would you come any nearer to
I nowing, ii you were to keep hooks
with yourself and with your crops?
The first thing to do is to make a
list of everything you possess, put
ting down, as near as you can judge.
the present market value of each
thing. Then make one of what you
„we, if anything. The difference be
tween these two lists shows what you
re financially worth now.
This may be aone every 12
months, and it is all that is neces
sary in order to see how much you
; .re getting ahead or falling behind
from year |to year. If you want to
find out what each crop is doing'for
, —or against you, as is sometimes
the case —you will have to go more
into detail.
In making the list of your prop
erty it is necessary to classify it
under different heads.
The plow animals, together with
harness and feed on hand, may be
listed under the head of Work Stock.
The plows, harrows, hoes, mowing
r.'.achlne, wagon, etc., may he all list
ed under the head of Tools and Ma
chinery, or Implements, "for short."
The heading, Live Stock, may mc
c lude cattle, poultry, sheep, hogs,
etc., or, better still, each of these
classes of animals may be listed
ruder a separate head. In either
.ase, whatever goes with them, such
:s feed on hand, etc., may he listed
with them.
Wheat, cotton, hay, etc., that are
harvested and are to be sold, may be
each listed under the respective head
ings, or all may be bunched under
the single head, Products.
Whatever cash you have on hand,
>ou may list under the head of Cash.
Under the heading. Real Estate,
you may put the land, house, barn
and other buildings.
If John Doe or A. B. & Co. owe you
anything, put such things down
under the head of Bills Receivable,
or, if you prefer, put each amount
("own separately, under the name of
the party that owes you.
Also, if you owe anything, put each
debt down under the name of the
party you owe, or bunch them under
the heading, Bills payable.
The next step is to add up the total
in dollars and cents under each head
ing, and then charge the totals, under
iJmllar headings, each on a separate
I age in a ledger-ruled bank book,
which you can buy for ten to twenty
five cents.
When you have done these things
you have opened up each account for
the year. There will probably be ad
ditional accounts to open up with
other crops as the year advances.
From now on, everything that you
Sive each crop or other thing, is
barged against it in the left hand
column on its page in the ledger. For
instance, whatever work you do or
have done for any field crop, or for
hogs, cattle, or anything else, is
barged against that thing; likewise
'barge any seed, feed, or other thing
that any account receives.
Everything that each crop or other
account gives you, you credit to that
account in the right hand column of
its ledger page. For instance, if you
-ell any cattle, credit the amount on
the Cattle account; if the sale is for
cash, charge the amount on the Cash
account; if not for cash, charge the
amount on the account of whoever
J'ou sell to.
Credit yourself, hired man, or
work stock with whatever work is
done, and charge the same against
whatever crop or other account that
work is done for. (You may be as
tonished to see how much more time
>ou or your stock could have been at
work.),
Charge each thing against what
ever account receives it, and then
credit the same thing to whatever ac
count give or supplies It. Every
transaction is recorded twice in the
ledger.
AH the transactions may be put
down in detail on a separate book,
and once a week, or month, may be
Put on the ledger in a condensed or
boiled down" form. This extra book
'« merely a matter of convenience,
and does not affect the results If
you do all your own work, you ma,
get along] without the extra book it
you farm, on a larger scale, It may be
better to use it.
At the end of the year you can tell
what each crop or other account ha.
'0.1 you, and also what you have sot
ten out of It, And there is a lot of
satisfaction In keeping tab so you
will know what your farm Is doing.
These suggestions are for you who
have not kept records heretofore. 13y
the time you nave read them you may
not see ever) step In farm bookkeep-
Ing. But make a beginning, and as
you take each step you will usually
See pretty easily how to take the next.
Make the start.
With all the emphasis that is in
me. 1 say. "You ,an not afford to de
lay In this matter which means so
much to you and your financial sana
tion."
A POISONOUS PLANT
Stockmen in Hie Northwest are be
ing warned by the United States De
partment of Agriculture that the
plant Menziesia is poisonous and may
kill sheep and cattle. Menziesia is
a straggling, branching shrub which
grows to be from three to seven feel
in height, in this country it is found
in the Southern Allegheniea and in
the mountains of Northern Cali
fornia, Wyoming, Oregon, Idaho, and
Washington. The Rocky .Mountain
species which is the one known to
be poisonous, usually occurs at alti
tudes of from 3500 feet to 6000 feet
on moist northern slopes in open
woods and about the "balds." In
some places it grows abundantly and
on the other hand there are long
stretches in which no speeimenls at
all are to be found.
Stock poisoned by Menziesia ex
hibit symptoms much like those
caused by a number of other plants.
There is a noticeable frothing at the
mouth and weakness which causes
staggering in the gait and ends in
more or less complete paralysis.
There is usually pronounced nausea
and sometimes difficulty in breath
ing. it is believed, however, that a
considerable quantity of the plant
must be eaten before its effects be
come dangerous.
Where there is abundance of her
fodder sheep will not eat, Menziesia.
The trouble occurs when there is no
oilier food readily available. Thus
when sheep are driven rapidly along
narrow trails -where the plant is
most likely to abound they are apt
to seize upon it and this is also true
when bedding grounds are used re
peatedly and the healthy forage in
the neighborhood consequently ex
hausted.
The remedy is for herdsmen to
learn to recognize the plant. A
further investigation Into the sub
ject is now being carried! on, but the
department has already published a
preliminary pamphlet, "Menziesia, a
new Stock-Poisoning Plant of the
Northwestern States," which con
tainstains a description and pictures
of the plant. The thin leaves of the
shrub are one to two Inches long,
and one-half to one inch wide. The
flowers grow from terminal buds,
expanding with the leaves. They
are bell shaped or cylindrical, about
quarter Inch broad and pink to
greenish white in color.
