FARM BOOKKEEPING
What a Business College Can Do for the Farmer's Son or Daughter
Do Your Children Know How to Keep Your Records Properly?
(The following article is not our language, but is taken bodily from a magazine article appear- ing in Collier's National Weekly of April 8, 1916.)
THE "COST SYSTEM" ON A MISSOURI FARM.
By F. A. Zenders.
Something like a half dozen years ago J. Ed. Hall, a farmer living four miles from La- monte, Mo., read in a news- paper an article telling of the cost system in use in the big industrial institutions. It started his brain working in that direction.
If the cost system is success- ful in manufacturing, why would it not be a good thing for a farm? he reasoned.
On Mr. Hall's farm nothing is done at haphazard. Every- thing is planned in advance and executed on schedule. Mr. Hali keeps a time card for each day, so does his wife. They charge 15 cents for every hour they work, their eidest son charges a like amount, a second boy figures his time a little less, and the youngest son at a little over haif that rate. The time of any out- side heip employed is figured at actual cost. Each night the members of the family group themselves around a table and the days operations are com- piled. Each month a statement is prepared, and on the first of March, each year, a triai bal- ance is obtained after an in- ventory has been taken.
Take a typical year. Mr. Hali figures that after allowing for wages paid to his family he nets 11 per cent. He figures
his farm valuation at $10,000 on 143 acres and the improve- ments.
Furthermore, Mr. Hail knows that he has made money. None of his neighbors can say as much and prove it.
And that isn't the whole story. Every mule and every horse on the Hail farm must produce results. The time each animal works is accounted for. When it is shown that there is no necessity for keeping a certain animal, it is soid.
Into the fields, too, the cost system is carried. The farm is divided in tracts ranging from six to forty acres. The production from each field is figured, and if a loss is found in a certain field, Mr. Hali is in a position to ascertain the cause and find the remedy.
"Too much bookkeeping," the average' farmer will say, and it does require a good deal of additional work, but it pays, Mr. Hall finds.
"Keep a boy's mind engaged and you will have no difficulty in keeping him on the farm," he says. "The most interest- ing period of the day's work on my farm is when at night we figure up the day's work."
When Mr. Hall bought his farm it had been tilled for more than sixty years, and his neighbors laughed when he paid $40 an acre for it, but they don't laugh now; anyone of them would gladly pay him $125 an acre for the piace, and
consider it a good bargain; this in spite of the fact that no considerable sum has been spent in permanent improve- ments.
Mr. Hall is a "book farmer." Not a doiiar's worth of grain is grown for the market; everything is put back into the soil. By carefully rotat -. ing his crops, Mr. Hail has made his farm the richest in his county. He fattens hogs and sheep on cow peas, soy beans, alfalfa, rape, corn, and rye. He has something for feed aimost the year round. One year when two months passed without rains, and nearly all the corn in that neighborhood was ruined, the fieids on Mr. Hall's farm were green.
The Government selected Mr. Hall's farm as one of its three experiment stations in Mis- souri. He sends daily reports to the Government experts lo- cated at the Missouri Agricul- tural College at Columbia, Mo. He accepts the suggestions of these experts and foliows them implicitly, and he finds that it pays.
About the house one can see evidences of an exceptionai farm. The dwelling, while not pretentious, is comfortable. A water plant furnishes running water throughout, a gas piant lights every room, mail from the rural route stopping point, a quarter of a mile away, is brought to the house by means of a carrier system on the

style of that used in depart- ment stores. A furnace sup- plies the bathroom and two floors with hot water.
The farm has paid for these improvements, besides, the three sons are attending school or college and all of them will have college diplomas when they are ready to go to farm- ing for themselves.
Farmer Hall is a plain ordi- nary citizen, and has worked
hard all his life. He had to. He didn't have an opportunity to get an education, but this made him all the more eager that his sons should not suffer the same handicap. Another of his hobbies is that there Should be time for play, as the periods assigned to "hunt- ing" or "fishing" on the time cards indicate.
Perhaps the most striking thing to be observed on the
farm is the fact that every- thing possible is done to lighten the household duties of the womenfolk. Seldom an afternoon passes that Mrs. Hall does not find time to take an after-dinner nap-a thing almost unheard of on western farms.
"She is like the French wo- men in that respect," Mr. Hall says. "And I am mighty glad she has the habit."
What farm-bookkeeping has done for Mr. Hall, we can do for you. We teach a course of bookkeeping, designed especially for the farmer.
Thirty bushels of wheat The complete course can be mastered in three to four months. would cover the cost of tuition.
Every farmer's child should have the opportunity to study this course.
Let us teach them something they can use at home.

148 UTAH COUNTY FARMERS AND MERCHANTS DIRECTORY
The Bookkeeping System in This Directory Was Devised and Copyrighted by the Publishers for the Express Benefit of the Farmers of Utah County
ALL RIGHTS HAVE BEEN RESERVED.
We know the farmers heretofore have not been accus- tomed to keeping books, because never before have they had at their disposal accounts devised for their individual needs. They have always had cut and dried pages made up some- where back east and sold to them as practical, for general use. We know too, that the following pages are not to be considered as technically complete, but we have endeavored to eliminate all unnecessary accounts and bring the system to a simple, practical basis so that it may be used to advantage by every farmer in the county.
This feature alone is well worth three times the price of the directory.
Read carefully the following explanatory pages telling you about keeping your records.
M. S. LOTT
BOOKKEEPING ON THE FARM.
Every farm is a factory. Commercial commo- dities are made out of raw materials. There is no tariff on the sunshine and the rain. The farmer has a free hand to use the resources of his business to the limit of his ability and the end of his energy.
The capital invested in this manufacturing business is some thirty billion dollars. The buildings, live stock, machinery and other assets figure up some twelve billions more. Two- fifths of our population are working in this fac- tory and their products run up in value annually to some nine and a half billion dollars.
Yet seldom are any books kept by the man- ngers of this factory to tell just how the buxl- news Is going. The average farmer can tell about how many hogs he sold last year and about how much corn or other grain he fed them. He has an idea of how many bushels to the acre a certain field yielded and about how much but- ter fat there is in the milk yield of the dairy. He knows how many colts were born on the place last year, but he has a hazy Idea of how much ench colt costs him to be brought to matur- Ity. In a word, slipshod calculating methods are the all but universal thing in this most import- ant of all the industries of the country, and it is not amazing that bankers and other scientific

financiers look upon the business as somewhat precarious when a loan is in question.
Simple bookkeeping ought to come in. Every farmer needs to know just where he stands at any given moment, in the year. Once a year, at all events, he needs to take an inventory of his holdings of every kind. Once a year, at least, he should know where his profits lie and where his losses. His bookkeeping need not be up to the standard of the commercial colleges; but it should be accurate and elaborate enough to en- able him to re-plan his work, take new bearings and departures and go on to success, cutting out the weak features in his factory and strengthen- ing the strong ones.
The following ruled pages are so arranged that very little effort is needed to keep an up-to-date account of everything that happens on the farm.
Page No. 1 or inventory is intended for imme- diate use. Put down opposite each item listed in the left hand column the number or quantity of each commodity that you now have on hand. When you have done this extend the value of each to the "net value column" and then add this column, to find your present worth. Page No. 1 is the condition of your business today. It will surprise you to find out "How Much You Are Worth."
The next few pages are devoted to Cash Re-
in the "Kind" Column the word Cherries, etc. The same is true of the other general classifica- tions.
The Hired Labor Account is also self-explan- atory.
Under the heading "Household Expenses" should appear an account of all expenses of the home; this is part of the "Farm Business" and should receive careful attention. Your wife, or daughter, could keep track of the items that go into this account, very easily, by jotting down each day the expenditures that are made whether for cash or credit, and the amount. Likewise she could keep the daily record of the farm, for you, and it would be very interest- ing too for her, as well as extremely profitable to the manager of the "Farm Business," which is yourself.
We have provided sections for miscellaneous Expenses, Sales and Purchases, where entries are to be made that do not directly come under any other given heading and of course the Veg- etable Account is simple.
When you borrow money from the bank they write it down, so that the payment may not be forgotten, but when you get this money-do you write it down any place? Why should you trust the bank any more than they trust you?

ceipts and Disbursements, accurate account of which should be strictly kept. When money is received, write the amount in the "Cash Record" and then post same to the credit of the commo- dity which was sold. For instance, if you re- ceive $165 for a horse, credit the Live Stock Record with $165. If this is done systematically, at the end of the month or year, you can tell exactly how much money you have received or spent in any department of your "Farming Busi- ness."
