A successful farm manager must develop two plans of work - a short-run plan used to evaluate next year’s operation and one based on a sufficiently long period of time to permit changes or adjustments in land, labor, capital, and management, according to a “Farm Management Handbook" published by The Pennsylvania State University’s College of Agriculture. “There are a number of ways to improve farm in- Consumers’ Corner Save On Dialing Direct distance dialing is the consumer's best way to save on the phone bill A person to-per son call is always at least two times as expensive than dialing station to station Call between 11pm and Bam for your best bargain The mini mum to one minute charge runs 35 cents, plus 20 cents for each additional minute during that time Many companies which use computers to transmit info over the phone take advantage of this bonus Costs also drop when you dial direct between 5 and 11 pm, Monday through Friday and Sun days, too There’s a savings of 60 cents on the first three min utes A 52 per cent cu is avail able all day Saturday and until 5 on Sundays Interestingly enough longdis tance calls made within an indi vidual state are usually higher per airline mile than calls made across state lines When calling from home don’t use that credit card for business calls A surcharge is levied be cause the operator must assist Dial direct and claim it on an expense account Use the credit card for calls inside the same state when calling from a ho tel They can add a service charge to such calls come and not all of them involve increased sire nor do they always require the expenditure of capital/' says Dr. Virgil E. Crowley, Penn State Extension farm management specialist and one of the book’s authors. Doing things at the right time bften produces more income; reducing costs means more net income; and often a reorganization of the crop and livestock enter prises can increase income significantly, Dr. Crowley points out.

One section discusses farm management, the role of the farm manager, problems of the decision-making process, and the construction of partial and complete budgets. Another section is devoted to dairy budgets and related information, and still another area deals with budget information for the major livestock enterprises such as swine and beef.
