Inventory On The Farm
It is a paying pioposition for the farmer to take on Inventory
on his farm the same as all other business enterprises do periodically
There Is no better way of taking this Inventory than to nsk questions
of other people However the questions which pay the really
big dividends when answered properly are the questions the farmer
asks himself
It is the plowseat thinking not dreaming that gets results A
farmer will find It interesting when he has spare moments to himself
to go through the questions that follow below and check them off
to see how many he can answer yes to and how many receive a
no answer and whether or not the particular interrogative applies
to his farm The farmer can inventory himself on the following farming
practices
1 Is your farm the proper size to give you and your family
something profitable to do each day in the year

The Lesson The Clock Teaches
There hangs in my office an electric clock In addition to the
customary hour hand and minute hand there is a large red hand
that circles the face of the clock once each minute I am impressed
every time I look at this clock with the speed with which this large
red hand races around the dial Especially am I impressed when as
I watch it as I often do and realize that it isnt a minute hand that
I am looking at but life itself made visible that is speeding away
that each circuit of the dial by the red hand means one minute of
life that is gone never to come back This electric clock has been a
lesson to me in that it has given me a new idea of the fleeting nature
of time and life The other evening the electric current failed
for just one Instant and the clock stopped Not a hand or a wheel
moved Sometimes I feel tempted to reach out and stop time in its
mad rush but one cant do this Swiftly and irresistibly it moves
on The clock should tell us that life is measured out to us just one
minute at a time None of us is sure of any more It should tell us
that it Is too fleeting too precious too uncertain to waste It should
teach us that if we plan to do good deeds we should do them now
If we plan to prepare our lives for the Inevitable eternity we should
begin now today while there is yet time for none of us knows the
day nor the hour nor the minute when God will reach out and
switch off the current and life shall cease even us life in this clock
ceases when the electric current stops
