WORK REPORT, CHORES 



It combines a work report and diary of farm work. A 

 second page in the same book may be used for a record of 

 the time spent in doing chores. At the end of the month, 

 the total time is charged in the ledger to each of the 

 accounts. This requires very little time to keep, and little 

 time for posting the results. If one does not care for the 

 diary, the entire report may be kept in the second form, 

 adding such headings as corn field, orchard, oat field, 

 potatoes, etc. 



Two accounts from a ledger are given on pages 382 and 

 383. A few entries are made to show the method. Ledger 

 accounts kept in this way are complete, so that no day- 

 book or journal is necessary. For explanation of the prin- 

 ciples of accounting, see the Farmer's Business Handbook, 

 or the Cyclopedia of American Agriculture. The systems 

 there given use a daybook-journal, which the writer does 

 not keep and does not consider to be essential.
