Is it more or less j than one would imagine from a ea>- j ual inspection of your farm? Do i you know for sure whether you are going or coming in financial standing? These are important questions to the farmer, ana questions that are not so easily answered as would at first appear. Farming is an intrlm catc business, and one in which re^ turns from investment are sometimes long delayed, so that progress can not be accurately measured by the 1 amount of money taken in in a given time. Sometimes cash income may ho :i 1 tr> MSit whnllvr i? duction in other assets, so that in 1 reality the result is like taking money from one pocket and putting it in another. The farm inventory, or property list, offers the only practicable way of answering' these questions. Once the farmer has made a complete list of all his assets and liabilities and i has balanced them he knows just i what his net worth is, and when he | has made such a list annually he knows each year whether he has gone forward or back, and just how much has been the increase or decrease in the net worth of his business. The United States Department of: Agriculture has just issued Far- j mors' Bulletin 1182 entitled "'Farmj Inventories," in which are given dc-1 tailed instructions for making an in- j ventory of farm property and revi*. ing such a list from year to year, i By using the simple system describ-1 ed in this bulletin any farmer -can i determine exactly his financial ::ta-j tus and lay the foundation for a per-1 manent system of accounting. Without the farm inventory as a basis no! system of accounting that might bo | chosen would be of any great use to the farmer. n Colds Cause Grip and Influenza LAXATIVE UROMO QUININE Tablets remove the cause.

IMMIGRATION IS BIGGEST PROBLEM: Washington. ? Immigration legislation will be the most important problem to be considered at the approaching session of congress in the opinion of the executive committee of the American Federation of Labor. In a special report, appearing in the ! current issue of the American Federation, the official organ of the Labor Federation, the committee gives! immigration priority over amendments to the transportation act and steps to expand the United States | employment service. "With two million idle and thousands of immigrants pouring into the country every day," the report says, i "the dangers ahead of America are1 so serious that even the enemies of j labor are fearful of the future. "It is absolutely necessary for | every national and international union, every state and city central ( and local unian to impress upon j members of congress that American j labor as well as all the people should be protected from the menace of excess immigration. No other question is of such vital importance to the woi'Kers." A bill prepared by the American, Federation of Labor and proposing! an investigation of the continued high cost of necessities will be pre- j sented in both houses early in the | session, the committee said. QUALITY IMPORTANT FACTOR IN MARKETING FARM PRODUCE An example of the part that qual- 1 ity piays in a business of direct marketing of farm produce is furnished by the experience of a man in Ken- : tucky who marketed eggs, dressed poultry, meats, and fruits to eonsum- j ers in Nashville, Tenn. The business was established over j two years ago by obtaining a friend as the fir: 1 customer. 1<roni this' modest beginning the producer has; obtained sufficient customers to buy I all of the "high grade produce he ear* j supply. Most of the shipments are J made by parcel post. This business is conducted on the basis of high quality with adequate returns. Customers are selected with as much care as most consumers show in selecting a producer from whom to buy farm produce. Customers are retained by never breaking the( rule to supply only the best produce raised on his farm. Tf, when an order is obtained, this farmer does not have produce of the highest quality, he informs the customer and states that unless otherwise instructed the produce will be shipped at ths earliest possible date. disprWeIldthTory charring stops decay The old theory that charring the >utts of fence posts and telephone Doles preserves the wood has been disproved by a series of tests conlucted by a forests products laboratory of the forest service, Department of Agriculture, on fences with iharrcd and untreated posts of varous species. Tl\e charred posts1 proved in these tests to be even less lurable than Ihe untreated ones. Theoretically, an area of harred wood around a post should Drevcnt decay, because charcoal docs j lot decay or encourage the growth of 'ungi. But the charred area around i post is not usually a solid covcrng. It is checked through in many jlaces. If posts are seasoned before hey are charred, the charring does j not reach to the bottom of the season ihecks which are always present. If green unchecked posts are charred, ihecks will open through the charred xirt as the wood seasons. In either jase the uncharred center of tlie post s exposed to fungi infection and will lecay as rapidly as untreated wood.; Charring doop enough to resist de ay woii'd undoi'bfedh weaken a pnsf >f ordinary size. 1 WILL MOVE STORK j The J.

V'? "? * ??V. PRiGEREBUGTION ~j wove worldwide: I Most Articles Imported Into the United States Show Effects. The wave of price reduction has ixtended to every part of the world, j Two thirds of the principal articles j \o\v being imported into the United j States, says a statement by the National City Rank of New York, were sold in the country of production at i less price than the same class of irticles sold thirty, sixty or ninety lays earlier. Measurement of the prices at which the various articles which we import are sold in the country of production is continues the bank's statement, quite feasible under our import laws which require the official valuation of the articles entering our ports to be the wholesale1 wilue in the country from which exported to i he United States?the price at which ilie articles were actually sold, or the average wholesale market, price for such articles it the port from which exported to the United State:.. Thus, if we see that the government reports of the import price of any givp.i article in Die month of September, 1920 is less than that of earlier months in the year we may assume that tlie average price at which that class of merchandise was sold in the country :>f its production was less at the Into at which it started to us than in the corresnondino* Hnto nf oovlim* months. 'Pake coffoe as an illustration; il comes to us from more than a score of countries representing1 South America, Central America, Asia, Al l pica, Oceania and the West Indian Jj Islands; then we find that the aver- J age valuation of the coffee imported j in the month of September, 11)20, was stated by the government at only 1(1.(ic per pound against 18.4c in August, 20.4c in July, 21.Gc in May; 22.3c in February and 23.9c in October of last year, we know that the average wholesale price of coffee in the various countries from which the billion pounds imported in the last year was drawn has steadily fallen, and stands at this latest :late for which figures are available at a less average valuation than in any month since April, 1911), in which the average import price of the coffee brought into this country was exactly that of September, 1920, lG.Gc per pound. New silk which comes to us from a half dozen countries, shows a similar decline/ in the average world price, the average import price of raw silk entering the United States in September, 1920, having been but ?G.56 per pound against $10.(>7 in May and $12.28 in March. 1920, when it stood at the high-set point! in our import record. That the world prices of most of j the principal articles which we buy i from abroad have fallen, is evidenc-! ed by the fact that more than twothirds of those for which import prices are stated by the government show a lower valuation in the official reports of September than in the immediately preceding month, and nearly all of them are at lower rates than those of certain earlier months. Clothing wool, for example, Irawn from Australia, South America, South Africa, Asia and certain European countries averaged only 13.7c per pound in the imports of September, 1020, against (10.3c per j pound in March of the current, year. Rice, coming to us especially from Japan, China, India, Siam and Fyench Indo-China averaged in the import valuation?and therefore the average value in the country from which drawn?only 8.!)c per pound in September, 11)20. against ( 10.9c in Many, and 11.1c in Febru- 1 :iry of the current year. Cocoa imports of September, 1920, averaged 11.6c per pound against 17.7c in July, 1920, and 20.^c in August, | is mm jem R / and Siltlermnrp I " GET AT HOME WRITE TO US.
