Farm Accounts

There is perhaps no one feature of our farm work so generally neglected as the keeping of accur- ate accounts. The reason with some is, that their memory is such. that they never forget the things they should remember. with oth- ers it is the lack of a simple sys- tem that they can use, from day to day as they go about their work. The need for a simplified system of keeping farm accounts has increased many fold during recent years. The cost of produc- tion. or the purchase price, of many of the staple stock foods have in- creased so that unless we can ac- curately know their value. we may feed them to our stock at a loss.

The income and other taxes that have come to us as a legacy from War, require actual state- ments of our business compiled from accurate detailed summaries of our year's transaction. We know that well kept accounts increase profits. The farmer is a business man and a capitalist. and his bus- iness ability is vital to the success- ful operation of his farm, and to the development and progress of the community. It is the prosper- ity of our farm communities upon which all our great industries rest.

himplifird Systems

A very great deal of thought and time and work has been devoted to the problem of keeping accurate fann accounts. that are simple and cfficlent. A careful study was made of all the best. systems that were in use in Canada. Britain and the United States in 1919 by the writer and Mr. M. Kennegin. cost accountant. Camrose, Alberta and published by the Khaki University of Canada. as Pamphlet No. 15 Series 1 "Farm Accounts". It was distributed by Educational Services of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces, through the i8 Khaki Col- leges in England. and by Educa-

It-5 Pllflmle was quite ambitious: "The purpose of this booklet is to make possible the keeping of re- llable farm accounts on every farm in Canada". In the introduction it was stated: "We trust that this little booklet will find its way into every school in Canada. After you are through using your copy. kind- l.V hand it to the school to keep the farm accounts of Canada in the near future".

Later the Experimental Farms Service, Dominion Department of Agriculture published a "Farm Ac- counts Book" made and distribut- ed to farmers. some other banks prepared and published "Farmer's Account Book" or memoranda booklets that have been very use- ful on many farms.

The Income Tax Branch of the Dominion Department of National Revenue, joined with the others in publishing a booklet designed to help farmers keep track of their transactions. These all are still available for the asking or a small nominal sum. and would be a great help and time saver for those starting a system of their own.

Dally Records

Success in keeping accounts de- pends upon forming the habit. of writing down the necessary facts about every transaction at the time it occurs. The simplified systems mentioned provide a place where every transaction can be placed in a permanent record. These books are 8 inches by 9 inches or 71,; to Bid inches by 10 inches. and are not convenient to carry about while at work. The memoranda, or day book 3 inches by 5'i inches can be placed in any pocket. and with a pencil attached. is ready at a mome its notice for the recording of all essential facts about any transaction. These records are sim- ple and can all be entered in the "Farm Account Book" at some definite time each day. Never put off until tomorrow what should be recorded today.

Inventory

The inventory should be 3 care- fully prepared statement. of the value that you have placed on ev- erything you have on the farm. The "Farm Account Books" have pages ruled for these records of land, buildings and improvements. live stock. machinery and equip- ment. feed and supplies etc. with columns to show their value at the beginning and at the end of the year. There is an advantage in starting your farm accounts on January first, since the records can be more easily transferred to an income tax statement, which must be submitted for the calendar year. some prefer to take their invent- ory at the time when their sup- plies are lowest. That date will de- pend upon your type of farm work. Once decided upon the snme,datc, should be used each year for the taking of inventory.

Farm Plan

A farm plan drawn approximate.- ly to scale. with copies for each year. to show the number of each field, and its acreage. is very use- ful. Notes showing the kind of crop. rate of seeding. application of manure. and fertilizer. type of soil. etc. can be added. The plan should show the location of build- ings. fences, roads. pastures, woods, ditches and streams.

Farm Problems

one of the most. difficult prob- lems in connection with the keep- ing of satisfactory farm accounts. is the estimating of the value -of crops fed to stock or supplied to the household. These crops may be weighed or measured at harvest. and part of them weighed or mea- sured when dellvcrcd. but the shrinkage which is always con- siderable has to be estimated. De- preciation has to be estimated on buildings. machinery. tools etc. The cost of board and lodging for hired labour. and the value of the unpaid family labour, has to be estimated. These and many other farm problems make farm ac- counts difficult. There are, how- ever, several sources from which the farmer may secure assistance: The Dominion Department of Ag- rlculture, the Provincial' Depart-

Dr. E. Rendle Bowness has a leading article in the June issue of the Black Pox Magazine en- titled "sound Reasons For The Re- turn of Silver Fox" from which these are extracts. Dr. Bowness has given a great deal of study to the subject and we feel confident our fox ranchers will be interested in what he writes . "In the last three years the most popular sec- tion in the auction sales catalogue has been that labelled - illalves and Three-Quarters". Top sale prices invariably came from this category and focussed the atten- tion of the ranchers on the pos- sibility of darkening down their herds to produce halves and three- quarters. We find there is some misunderstanding among the ranch- ers so to the type of foxes found in this classification. In the cate- gory classified as Halves and Three-Quarters. very few of the pelts are well-silvered. but are well covered with dark guard hair and would be more accurately describ- ed as heavily-veiled silvery types.

"Back in the early '30s. most of the brighter end of our Silver Fox production was similar in the foxcs that are classified today as Halves and Three-Quarters. There is little doubt but that era car- ried a beauty and a soundness not seen in the paler foxes which were developed later. At that time is successful promotion was begun principally by the Fromm organ- ization. for an exceedingly pale Silver Fox under the slogan of the Fromm Bright With silver Fox. This was something new for the fur manufacturer and the promo- tion wa.s enthusiastically supported by the fur trade. We Canadians attracted by the excelleent paces paid for the bright Silver Fox started to breed for paleness with questionable results.

"We did not expect to have much difficulty in breeding a bright with Silver Fox. From the early days of the Black Fox. we found an increasing percentage of silver a normal thing in our breeding ef- forts and when silver first appear- ed in quantity we tried to breed back to the darker fox with no particular success. However, it was one thing to follow along with a normal. increase of silver over a number of years and another thing to try and get that increased am- ount of silver in as few years 35 possible. Many troubles occurred. We could get. the silver pretty well all over the Fox. but the bar was short and tended to IIWW I brownishness in the silver. For every good and attractive Fox in the brighter silver phase. we had at least a hundred others that were less than satisfactory. We found also. that in selection for brighter silver Foxes that the more we not

rid of the dark guard-hair and veiling. the more we got,rld of fur on the Fox. The old type Silver Foxu produced a heavy, deep, sound pelt. These new bright sl'- ver types lost the heaviness and soundness and were skinny by comparison to the old heavily fur- red Fox. To further plague us, came thin fur over the shoulders and loose open sides as well as a. general looseness to the long sil- ver and black guard-hairs. The most of these extra bright Full Sil- 'vers showed a yellowness in the side and an unevenness in the length of guard-hair that robbed the Fox of a good finish. To put the whole proposition in a nut- shell, we were going against na- ture and attempting to produce a coat colour that was a deteriora- tion and not an improvement.

It is with real relief and satis- faction that we can now turn our efforts towards breeding is more heavily veiled, more heavily furred and more attractive Silver Fox. In this breeding attempt. we are go- ing to have the help of nature in producing a type of Fox that 's more in line with natural require- meents. No doubt it will be fairly long and difficult process for many ranchers. depending on how far away from the old veiled Fox they got in their pursuit of Bright Sil- ver.

The l:iuInpcan market. 4'III)W5 I definite preference for the true Half and Three-Quarter Silver Fox. But. there is reasonable doubt that this market can absorb any izreat quantity of really dark Foxes. We feel that if we aim at producing Silvery Foxes with heavy veiling, that we will produce sufficient Halves and Three-Quar- ters in the true sense to supply that market adequately. We feel that the future will find the bulk of popular demand in the heavily Veiled Silver rather than in the Dark Silvers.

Pearl Platinum pelts met with I ready acceptance by the Europ- ean portion of the trade and with a. fair acceptance from the Ameri- can fur merchants, On the basis of grade. Pearl Platinum Foxes brought approximately 1591: more money than Standard slivers. In general. they are the most sought after type of Fox pelt that we have today. Despite their popularity. Pearl Platinum Foxechave been somewhat of a disappointment. In spite of good selection and good breeding practices, Pearl Platinum Foxes today are not as good as some of the Pearls produced from the first Mutations of that colour.

such ' yet and you will get yourself some real arguments as to which breed of Pearl should be lupported. Instead of taking sides in this argument. we should be endeavoring to produce a Fox with Pearl characteristics regard-

less of its anchestry. The chief fault exhibited by Pearl Platinum Foxes today in-

cludes all the faults of poor fur- nng and unsoundness as seen in the Standard Silver Fox with the further additions of poor colours and shades in the Pearl colouring itself. Many Pearls are dull, sooly blue. which is just as unattractive as it sounds. other Pearls have been bred so pale that it's hard to distinguish them from Stand- ard Sllver Foxes in the full silver colour phase. To add to these troubles, we have developed in them a soft. cab furry tyne of fur with very open sides and a poorly rm- lshed top. Colour is something that has to be seen to be under- stood. Efforts to describe colour on a printed page are usually un- successful, but a few points about Pearl Platinum colour should be mentioned.

First the Pearl blue colour should be clear and free of any deflect- ing colours such as sootiness or the whiteness that's found in the extra pale pelts. In our opinion, the proper blue colour is a metal- lic blueness that seems to have a shine to it. The tail and the cars should be clear and the colour should have a misty but definite blur: shine, Any hint of sandiness or brownness in the tall or cars should be eliminated at each pell- mg season. The proper clearness and shine gives life to this Pearl blue colour and without it a Pearl Platinum Fox is a very dead ap- pcaring fur.
