FARMERS ’JRCED TOKEEPREGORDS Record Rooks Point Out Weaknesses; Inventory Week Dec. 26-31 How much aro your livestock, teed supplies, equipment and other farm property worth? Do you have more or less than the usual quantity of each on hand for this time of the year’ If you cannot answer these questions you do not have the Information you need to size up the results of this year's farm business and plan m< st efficiently for the future. You can eet the information In a few hours by taking a farm inventory. No other work you can do at this season is likely to pay you higher wages. The process is simple and the results so valuable that you are over-looking an opportunity if you do not give it a trial. Five of the most important benefits you receive from making an inventory are as follows: 1. It shows you your net worth or the total value of all property above 1 the amount of your liabilities. | 2. It shows your increase or decrease | in net wortli from year to year or, in other words, whether you are "getting ahead" or "going behind" and how much. 3. It shows you how your investment is divided among the different parts of your farm business and often opens your eyes to the fact that some parts are more or less important than von had in mind and, therefore, they need more cr less attention than you have been giving them. I. It pievents you from drawing false conclusions regarding your prosperity from the amount of cash yon happen to have on hand. Many times a comparatively small amount of cash in the batik may discourage you when yen are really doing well, but have your earnings tied up Tn some kind of property. At other times an unusually large amount of cash in the bank that

has come as a result of decreasing the I inventory of other property may en-[ courage less careful spending than la| wise. 5. It helps to establish better credit relations between you and the bank or other loan agency if you ever borrow . money. Most bankers aro much more willing to lend money on favorable terms to the farmer who can furnish a clean-cut statement of his net worth ! than to the farmer who does nd give i this evidence of his business efflclenCjr. Farm recoid books which may be ttsud tor taking the farm Inventory and for keeping account of Income and outgo during the year, may be obtained at tlie county agent's office. After a man gets married he has less to say about what he can or can not afford.

Dr. Ix'onard W. A. Luckey. Dr. Luckey In the discussion of

■ these two questions of world wide interest has gone far afield and done much to confirm the prevalent belief 1 that humanity is the handiwork of a capable, loving Intelligence. The book la as free of dogmatic statement as may well be; and his conclusion that an infinitely capable keen logical reasoning leads to the snd loving Intelligence would desire an objection of affection, and would concomitantly with Its creation provide that it should never depart from His presence. I sincerely wish that everyone, especially those tu the formative period of character building, could read this unusually clear and able discussion. I know of no more timely and helpful gift, than a copy of Dr. Luckey’s book. Very respectfully, James T. Merryman.
