New benefits from farm bookkeep-
ing are In prospect in many states as
a result of the organization recently
of accounting schools at which farm-
ers meet to analyze and compare rec-
ords, and study out sources of error
and opportunities for Improvement In
farm management.
There are few states in which the
movement is not represented, Reports
to the United Stutes Department of
Agriculture say 35 farmers' account-
ing schools were held In Ohio this
winter. In Maine every county was
covered. Illinois had such schools In
15 counties. Many were held In In-
diana, Pennsylvania, Iowa, North
Hnd South Dakota, Colorado, Oregon.
California. Texas, and other states
The usual practice Is for farmers
who keep accounts to meet in con-
ference with county agents and exten-
sesp* . :

UvW'^'
Records Give Production Costs and
Returns.
slon workers of state agricultural col-
leges and the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture. They produce
their records of crops sown and har-
vested, labor used, feed consumed, and
so forth, and the reports are analyzed
and compared. Wide differences In
production costs and returns are
noted and their causes sought, so that
Inefficient methods can be corrected
and better organization nnd operation
plans adopted for the future.
Books of Approved Type.
Officials of the Department of Agri-
culture say the plait is largely tin out-
growth of the increasing use of uniform
accounting methods hy farmers. When
efforts were started by the department
about ten years ago to promote better
farm accounting, an obstacle was Hie
lack of a simple farm accounting
book. This want was supplied, nii'I
now practically all state extension
divisions sell account books of an
approved type to farmers at cost.
As a result many farmers all o.er
the country are keeping their accounts
In about the same way. This has been
a big factor in crystallizing funnel's'
ideas on the analysis of their business
along uniform lines, and it lias great-
ly lessened the difficulty of petting
comparable figures from different
farms. Usually the book produced at
the farm accounting schools are all ,,f
the same type. They tell the amount
of the labor Income from th « farm,
the size of the fnrtn business, the
crop yields, and the return from live
stock, as well as the amount of ex-
pense for different Items From 'his
data farmers can discover their weak
and their strong points, and the
standards necessary for profltublt
farm operation.
Farmers are also meeting mon
than In previous years to compart
their results from single crop or llv.
stock enterprises, as well as the re
suits from their total farm operations
County agents In 1923 assisted 20,001
farmers In single enterprise analyses
A typical example Is a study made a.
potato-growing costs in Cuyuhogi
county, Ohio, which showed that thi
farmer with the lowest cost was pro
duclng potatoes at 42 cents a bushel
•compared with a maximum on anothei
Ifarm of $1.53 a bushel.
Clubs foi* Boys.
A valuable supplement to the move
ment toward cost-comparison confer
ences among furmers Is the develop'
ment of accounting clubs for boys
The boys In these cltibs keep tlu
home farm records and at the end ol
the year with their fathers assemhlt
In groups to study the results. Th<
clubs are Intended to train the new
generation of furmers In sound busi-
ness methods, to demonstrate to then
the value of bookkeeping before thej
reach maturity.
Farm accounting Is also helns
taught in many of the district school!
in u number of states. This Is with
the same objective In mind an«l tin
posting and summarizing of an actual
farm business record In the simple
farm account book constitutes the
main text book material. Many boyg
are keeping home farm records as
result of this school training.
Silage Is Shown to Be
Superior as Stock Feed
The value of silage feeding Is shown
forcefully by recent data furnished by
the bureau of animal Industry, United
Stutes Department of Agriculture. In
the wintering of mature beef cows Id
West Virginia, it has been shown that
corn fed us silage is wirch GO per cent
more than shock corn. In growing
beef calves in Illinois an acre of corn
silage was found to be worth 30 pel
cent more than an acre of shock corn.
This increased utility Is attributed
to the many advantages, of silage.
Practically no waste occurs In the feed-
ing of silage and it creates an appetite
for cheaper roughages. Then, too, the
same crops fed dry are not nearly sc
palatable and succulent as they are in
the form of silage.
Information as to what crops make
good silage and on preparing and using
them as feed is contained In bulletins
which may be had free from the De-
partment of Agriculture, Washington

I CHEVROLET
Will Your Family Be Happy This Spring?
If your* is one of the few remaining families lacking an
automobile, no doubt you have finally decided to get one
within the next four months.
A low-priced modern automobile like the Chevrolet has be-
come indispensable to the family of ordinary income. A
million other families can easily prove to you that the better
way is with Chevrolet. The beauties of nature, the interesting
and educational features of other places and way* of living,
K remain things to read about or seen dimly in cold photographs
until you are free to get to (hem at your convenience and pleasure.
But, suppose you have definitely decided to buy a Che
this spring. This does not necessarily mean you are go
get it. Anyone posted on conditions in the automobile business
will tell you that thousands of families are going to be unable
to get cars this spring. This has been true almost every spring
for the last ten years. There are just two ways of making sure
of getting your Chevrolet for use when the flowers and balmy
breezes of spring lure you to the country roads—buy it now
or order it now.
If you do not want to pay for it in full at this time, any
Chevrolet dealer will arrange terms to suit your convenience.
You will be surprised to learn how easy it is to pay for a
Chevrolet and use it while you are paying for it. ' ^
Please realize these statements are made by us in good faith . ijg
and we mean just what we say about the possible difficulties
of getting a car delivered [to you this spring if you wait until
then to order It. The only way to be sure of a Chevrolet
this Spring Is to order it NOW. t

Higher Prices for Corn
Corn prices made appreciable ad-
vances during the past year, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Low receipts at primary mar-
kets and the low visible supply of
corn have resulted In rising prices
despite large farm stocks and heavy
production during the three years
1010-11*—2. It is pointed out, however,
that the price of hogs must always be
considered In connection with that ol
corn, inasmuch as approximately 80
per cent of the corn crop Is sold "ou
the hoof."

Principal Crops Increased
In lO'-itf farmers planted 341,000,000
acres of the 14 principal crops, ac-
cording to the crop reporting board ol
the United States Department of Agrl-
culiure. This was an increase of mors
than 2,000,IKK) acres over 1022. The
production of the 14 crops is esti-
mated to aggregate 205,000,000 tout
or about the same as in 1022 and
11,(MX),000 tons larger than the ten-
year average.

Easy Matter to Test Germi-
nation in Advance.
(Prepared ^by the Unltnd Stntne Department
of Agriculture. >
Much of the present ililliculty ex-
perienced In getting a good stand of
red clovef may be overcome simply
by the use of seed of good quality and
germination, says the United Stutes
Department of Agriculture. A bright
fresh-looking lot. of red-clover seed will
lsually germinate pretty well, but It
Is bo easy to test the germination Jo
advance that there Is littlu excuse for
lowing poor seed.
If 100 or 200 average seeds are
founii-d oat and laid on a plate be-
tween pieces of moist cloth or blotting
paper and the plate set away In a
room where the temperature Is 65 to
SO degrees Fahrenheit, the seeds will
begin to sprout In three or four days,
md In a week the value of the feed
so fjir ns germination Is concerned
can he definitely determined. The ger-
mination of clover seed. «.-ven when the
sample i<* good, will depend somewhat
<m the number of hard seeds present.
A sample of good need should test
something like 00 per «ent, with at
least several of the remaining seeds
hard at the close of the ten-day test
period.
However, even If the germination of
seed Is good great care rhould be taken
to find out if possible where the seed
wns grown, since the work of the de-
partment has also shown that red
clover grown In 'Italy Is not adapted to
most of the United States and should
not be used In the eastern United
States. The ouly way to prevent flat-
ting Italian seed Is to buy from a re-
liable firm,or organization and to In-
sist that you do not want Italian seed.
