Farming
Richmond Farmers Profit By Use
i Business Methods FSA
Supervisor Says.-, j
Many Richmond County farm
ers have discovered that the ap
plication of modern business me
thods to agriculture pays real
dividends, Charlie B. Uteer, su
pervisor for the Farm Security
Administration here, said today.
Fore generations many Ameri
can farmers conducted their busi
ness in a rather slipshod manner.
They figured that if they.. had
some money in the bank when
their bills were paid after harvest
that they had had a successful
year. If they added up the crop
year in debt, then it had been a
bad year. No attempt was made
to keep accurate and detailed
record of the various phases of
their operations
When the Farm . Security Ad
ministration assumed the task of
rehabiliating farm families in this
county it insisted that those who
borrowed money should budget
their expenditures and plan their
operations in such a way .that
they would have feed for their
livestock, food for their table
during the winter months and so
on ; in other r words1", that 1 ttiey
havea definite plan for the opera-
tioridf their farms. "
These farm plans, which are
worked out by the farmer and his
wife with the assistance of the
Farm Security Administration's
county staff, are based on the
needs of individual families.
There is. no attempt to write
uniform plans.
- Each farm is given individual
consideration. Everything is tak
en into consideration, the type of
crops best suited for that par
ticular soil, the number of live
stock to be fed, the size of the
family, enough cows' for milk and
cream, chickens for meat and'
eggs.
The plans also include records
much the same as that used in
business. At the end of the year
these records show the farmer
how much in come he received
from his various crops, the feed
. his livestock consumed, the aver

melodious wailing that accom
panied 'the ceremony attracted
the attention of a passing wmte
man who couldn't resist the
temptation to find out what was
going - on. About to enter the
house of . the deceased, he noticed
a little; colored boy posted at the
edge of the door. "Why don't you
go inside?" the white man asked.
; "Ah cain't go inside," came the
reply. "Ah is de crepe."
