FARMERS' ACCOUNTS.

A SIMPLIFIED SYSTEM. Recently Dr. I. W. Weston, farm economist at Canterbury Agricultural College, issued a booklet, " Now Zealand Farmers' Account Book." This appealed to farmers and many thousand copies were sold. Dr. Weston has prepared another account book, "Farmers' Accounts Simplified," which is an alternative system to (lie former publication. It is an easier method of keeping accounts, and will meet the wants of those farmers who require a columnar or cash analysis type of account book, whereby all cash transactions are dealt with on tho one page. Specimen pages are printed to show how the book-keeping is to be commenced. The book was the outcome of a suggestion of Mr. W. W. Mulholland and was finally decided on by Messrs. <!. ('. Warren, C. (i. .Jarman, W. W. Mulholland, all wellknown farmers, and Dr. Weston, who have endorsed the book in a foreword.

It is explained that in regard to cooperating with accountants and the formation nf farm accounting associations, I lie s;ufle privileges as obtained with the

" New Zealand Farmers' Own Account Hook " also apply. The book,' which is printed and published by Mcssis. Whitcombe and Tombs, Ltd., is obtainable throughout New Zealand for 3s Oil, and is suitable for five years.
