'Annual property lists, or inventories are of practical value to the farmer in may ways : If progress is being made they accurately gauge the extent of it. If the farmer is falling behind, the lists will emphasize this fact. Often when a man is discouraged and thinks he is making no progress, his inventories will reveal to him the fact that he is better off than he thought, and thus give him courage. Such lists are the basis of any system of farm accounting that may be established. The various uses of farm inventories are explained in this bulletin which presents complete and explicit directions as to how to make use and care for a farm property book."--Page 2

"The control of the injurious clover leafhopper ... is a comparatively simple task to one acquainted with the habits of the insect. The injuries caused by this insect, as is the case with many other leafhoppers, are often overlooked because of the minute size of the pest, and the apparent injury is too frequently attributed to such causes as soil and climatic conditions" -- Introduction (p.1)

"The increased interest in cost of production of farm products has stimulated the demand for systems of farm cost accounting, and especially for a system that is simple in application and planned to give the farmer the information he requires without going into the complexity of detail involved in a highly technical system./ It is the object of this bulletin to explain such a plain system, plainly, and yet comprehensively, and to offer detailed information that will enable any farmer to make a inventory, open his books, carry his accounts through successfully, and close his books at the end of the year. This system, when properly followed, will yield much valuable information about the farm business in addition to providing data with which to estimate the cost of production."--Page [2].
