V
J t
Many a farmer who has been loa- j
j ing money for years without know!
Ing it has found that by keepltig re- ^
cords he can find the "leaks' in iua v
business, plug them, and make his
farm show a profit .
In farming, said R. E. L. Greene, o
assistant agricultural economist ot i
i he N. C. Agricultural Experiment h
tStation, it's easy to lose money witn s
out knowing it. /
A farm may supply a family with '
t food to' eat and clothes to wear, but
at the same tinie bad cropping prac- (
tices may bo wearing out the soil ^
so that at the end of the year Ufa
term may be worth considerably less
than it was at the first of the year.
lty keeping records, a farmer can
! tell which crops are ntcst profitable,
whether the farming program is balanced
or not, and whether the gener
al cultural practices are satisfactory,
Greene continued.
i
Records kept In one year also aidin
planning the farming program for
the next year. They also provide a
helpful mean8 for determining who- <
ther the program is working out a?
planned, or whether changea should
be made to bring the program back
Into line. i
A glance at the records can also '
show whether certain farm enter- t
prises are costing more than they i
are worth. ' I
. Records are a source of in forma 1
t.ion in mak'ng credit statements j
that are valuable in the event it ?
necessary to secure a loan, or in ta- t
king out Insurance pbticies. i
Early in January Is a good time ]
to start keeping records for the year i
Greene added. Record books snd as
sistance in keeping them may be ob
tainen from county farm agents over
the State.
