Farm Records A Most For Success
BZ CHAUiES D. KAPER
County Agent
Farmers are businessmen ai
. »s business men must keep r
'cords to show what their bus
ness is doing. During the ye
many dollars passed through tl
average (arm and to be a go*
farmer it is necessary to be
good manager. Normally tl
manager of the farm, which
most cases in Columbus Coun
Is the farmer himself, should a
count for every dollar of in con
and expenses in order to kne
Otvhat he is doing and where I
Is going. Farm records will t<
you quickly which enterprise <
the farm is profitable and whii
one should be dropped. A got
set of farm records will give y<
the necessary information ι
how much profit or loss there
in producing an acre of tobacc
cotton, peanuts, or other ente
prises.
It is also necessary to keep
iijood set of records for incor
tax purposes. The first step
keeping good farm record
to take an inventory. All that
needed in taking an inventory
a pencil, a piece of paper, and
little time. In taking the inven
ory, list and put a value on eai
item of equipment, livestoc
feed, and supplies, show the
mount of cash on hand, wh
vou owe, and what is owed
^ 'ou. Such an inventory taken
the beginning of the year and
the end of the year will she
the position of your farm bu:
ness.
You will also want to keep
daily record on income and e
penses. Some farmers prefer
keep these on the entire far
while others prefer to keep thL·
type of record on the different
id enterprises such as tobacco pro
s- duction, peanuts, beef cattle
I- poultry, and so forth. No fanr
ir record is complete without ε
ιβ cash account.
^ Records is the first important
a step in successful farming but
ie these records are worthless un
1® less they are used to help the
V farmer increase his income anc
he knows the enterprises thai
are giving him the most profit

One of our big losses in thi
past has been due to wire worn
1. damage. In some cases, damagi
h .rom this insect has caused a 5(
k, percent loss in value of a crop
Wire worms can be controllei
at effectively through the use ο
to insecticides. The materials ti
at use are 60 lbs. of 5'<; Aldrin o
at 120 pounds of 2%'/« Heptachlo
per acre. Either material shoult
be in a granulated form.
Demonstrations on these mat
crials were made in Columbu
County last year on fields heav
ily infested with wire wormi
The treated plots produced 9
percent undamaged potatoe
while in the untreated checl
plot. 90 percent of the potatoe
were damaged by wire worms
|J. C. Wray of Rt. 3, Tabor Cit;
stated that the treatment in
creased the value of his potatoe
j$1.00 per bushel.
The insecticide should be pu
jn the land two weeks befor
the plants are set. The reasoi
for the early application is ti
kill the wireworms before thi
plants arc set in the field. Thi
insecticide will not damage thi
plants.
Ether material should be in ι
granulated form so that it cai
it|oe put out with a lime spreade:

supplement our radar network
because, despite Kremlin double·
talk, the Soviet Union Air Fore·
is rapidly increasing its capabil

from direction — a devastating
surprise attack against any part

of the country is outside of the
orbit of bomb blasts or the lethal

To keep pace with our expand

L-xpanding the Ground Observer
Corps to cover the entire United

immediate need of additional
