----SAYS:
What Do Your Farm Records Tel.
Y$d?
January is nere n«rain. We* can
hordly realize it. Time to muke
a summary off our year's business
and look squarely at the figures,
whether red or black, and make
plans for another year.
I believe time spent keeping a
Rood farm account book is just ns
important and valuable as time
spent doing anything else. That is if
wtf make use of the figures after we
have them, and if we have been
f.iir with ourselves and keep all the
figures accurately.
A true picture of our year’s busi-
ness can only be obtained by keep-
ing an accurate farm account book.
To keep a good farm account and
never make a summary or analysis
of all that has transpired is almost
as bad as milking the cows and
then falling to market the milk,
planting cotton and never selling
any. In both cases we have lost
the value of our product.
A system of farm accounts need
not be complicated. Any simple ac-
count book will do.
A Challenge To KJs
They make the business
farm more interesting and
lenge us to strive for batter
another year. Your fawn ___
hook poii'ts out weak spots a* waff
a* atrong ones, and Just Ns* teams
or strong they ere, while memory
fails us a good many times.
An analysis of a farm aooount
oook should tell us what we hays
received for our labor and manage-
ment during the year. This Is the actuation. The problem could be one
amount a farm family has after
deducting fair interest on Invest-
ment in working capital and Invest-
ment in the farm net income. What
« farmer’s labor worth per day
or month or year? This he should
know. What about the cost of op-
erating our machinery per acre. Is
it $10 an acre or $20? We have seen
casts greater than we have indicat-
ed. it is important to know what
cur Investment in machinery and
cost of operating this machinery
l)er crop acre are. As It gives us
a chance to do something about
Andther interesting figure our
farm account book should point out
i£ our livestock return per dollar of
feed. This has tyeen quite a vital
question with many farmers this
full- With feed high and cattle
prices somewhat lower than they
have been the Inst few years the
question has been, “would It be
more profitable to sell the feed or
fssd it to livestock?"
If you know what returns you
hsrve received for $1 worth of feed
iiY the past la much easier to ar
rive at an accurate conclusion on
it to do In this situation. Also,
If our farm account book show*
our return for feed is low. we have u
problem we can put our finger on
and figure ways to improve the
of livestock management, a breed-
ing problem, or a feeding problem
such as not using proper balanced
of protein. At any rate if we have
the figures we know where our
problem - is, and an oportunlty to
make some changes where we knO.v
they are needed.

Ever since knitted stoles have
shouldered their way to the peak
of fashlqn, they've been getting
lovelier by the day.-One of the new

Is woven of orlon irv n loose lacy
pattern with a deep fringe. And
trust it to stay sparkling white al-
ways, for it can be washed in hot
soui|jsiuls us often os neoesary, ac-
cording to the Appliance Manufac-
turer Association. Just hung it to
drip dry and It's ready for wear.

Mendea-France, right, gave hia hekt wishes to U.N. Secre-
tary-General Dag Hammarskjold, leaving on his mission

General Response for
X.Ray Survey Sought
With thf x-ray survey hem In
Ennis dated by the County TB As-
sociation to begin Jun. 15, General
Chairman Dr. W. P. McCall today
called attention to the linjxirtance
a general respomw* on the port
the citizenry.
"If anyone threatened your life,
even your physical well being,
and you had reason to suspect he
meant it. you would take every
measure to protect yourself," said
Dr. McCalJ. “You would probably
go to the nearest police station and
ask for the protection which is your
due a.s a cltlr.en.
‘‘Tuberculosia is iuv enemy tlurt
threatens your well being and even
your life. It strikes suddenly, and
without warning, invudiug the
lungs nnd starting its damage quiet-
ly and deceitfully. There are no
obvious syniploins of illness in its
early stage.
Tuberculosis is spread from per-
son to person, even ini this early
stage. There are an estimated 150,-
000 eases of tuberculosis la this
country unknown to hculth author-
ities Many of these people are car-
rying on their daily lives, working
and living in close contact with
others. They may seem perfectly
healthy. Yet the tuberculosis germs
— the tubcide bacilli—In their lungs
are dangerous both to themselves
and to those about them. Until their
disease is discovered and they are
being treated in a TB hnsplts.1 they
are spreading TB genus land caus-
ing new etui's to develop. The dis-
ease will progress nOtd it will be
difficult to cure The result may be
even death
' l>»-spit, the great progress that
has been mad* in treating TB, de-
spite new drugs and surgical tech-
niques. doapite tlie “fact that TB can
ta- prevented iiimI can lie cured,
once every I7S minutes someone
dies of tuberculoids.

usefulness in tracking down tuber-
culosis whs a tremendous step for-
ward in the world-wide fight ug dn-
st the disease. It has saved count-
lesi lives, helping doctors to "see"
the disease in its early stage when
It is easiest to cure and allowing
them to watch the progress of
their patlcntr against the disease.
'With knowledge of what the
x-my can do it was possible to
develop the modem system of or-
ganized "detective" work against
the disease. The x-raylng of large
groups of up|>arenUy healtfiv peigtlc
to screen out unknown cwmvs of TB
is now an all important part of tjie
lubmculoMS control progi^ims
throughout the United States. To
do this with the least cost and ln-
corwmfence to Olie general publlo
t!ic minature x-ray is frequently
used. These* shadow pictures art*
taken bu (mobile or transportable'
units which can fi« brought to con-
venient locations so that everyone
In the community con get to them.
It rH|Utr«*s only a few moments to
lake the picture and no undress-
ing or other Inconvenience is niT-
essary.
'It Is possible to say that TiJ
Is not present on the busts of a
minature Hint x-ray. It. is not pos-
sible to say that it is present. If
the .small film shows susplcioui
signs, it. is necessary to have a
i coiid larger x-ray for dt tailed
study. Following this, cllnieuj or
laboratory tests ...c given b, fore a
diagnosis of TB is made
"It U a program of this kind
which oiii community is now or-
ganizing We ait going to use the
detective jxrwtr* of the x-ray to
r>iid tfie tuber*le bacilli. We are
going to chock Imig career of
