ord books will be closed out.
Farm records will be studied
by many good farmers who
will try to determine their
mistakes of 1963 and use the
account book as a guide in
planning for the coming

make good use of their rec-
ords, not only for Income
Tax purposes, but to do a
better job next year. The
records show where too
much money was spent and
where net income may be in-
creased. By the way, it's time
