One day farm accounting courses are now being conducted in 16 states through cooperation of the U S department of agriculture and state agricultural colleges. The aim is to interest farmers in farm bookkeeping as essential to efficient management, with income tax calculations secondary.

A fragmented line notes a vulgar phrase about a bird in the hand and a humorous instruction to use a knife and fork. The odd wording suggests a colloquial or satirical item rather than a formal report. No additional context or names are provided.
A fragmented note discusses poultry care including duck and goose management. It mentions drakes per ave to balance flocks, turkeys and geese fattening, and buyers specializing in this trade as a method to combat pests like mites. The text is garbled and lacks clear dates or places.
