Book Description
Excerpt from Principles of Bookkeeping and Farm Accounts Farming is the oldest and in many respects the most important occupation of man. It dates back beyond the dawn of history, yet one of the modern Captains of Industry recently remarked that Farming is the most modern business in the world. This is certainly true as regards the application of sound business methods. In the mad rush for wealth and power, we seem to have lost sight of the true principles of economy. One of these principles is the art of keeping accounts. One of the greatest authorities on bookkeeping says, The ability to pre - deter mine results by means of accurate accounts and statistics is the highest develop ment of the modern business man. That the farmer needs to develop the same ability to pre-determine results needs no argument. Very few farmers of today have a definite knowledge of their business. Farm accounts must be simple, easily kept, and readily understood to make them effective and practical. Hon. James Wilson says: I would not impose on a busy farmer the keeping of an elaborate set of books, but some simple form of accounts will be a great aid in successful farming. Mr. John Ham ilton, Farmers' Institute Specialist, says: In my judgment no single study outside of the essential branches of writing, reading, and arithmetic would be of more service than the study of an efficient method of keeping accounts. It is a universal need. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
