File fold- ers, dividers, and a set of labels niake it much easier. Designate broad subject areas to file draw- ers (e.g. BUSINESS, PRODUC TION, HOME) and then have more specific titles on dividers. For example, 'your soil test records would be in a file marked "Soil Tests" which would be behind a divider marked "Crops and Soils", in the PRODUCTION drawer. Similarly income tax returns 'would be in a file label- led "Taxes", in the BUSI N ESS , drawer. Ybu can change, the sys- tem to suit your own needs. When setting up your filing system, you might consider these o points: File new material at the front of the tile. You will probably be referring to it most often. - When filing several pages to- gether, use a stapler. Paper clips often slip off or catch other materials. - ,If a folder grow's one inch thick, add . a second file. or split into two categories. - Keep a big wastebasket and use it. Do not be .tempted to file too much. Once a 'yeai', go through 'file's and throw 'out outdated material. .

Weather Provides Big Risk Weather is the biggest risk a farm land must face. Wet periods emphasize the structural and drainage weaknesses of all soil, good and poor alike. A lot of farming involves the use of machinery which runs on the land and compacts the soil, red- ucing yields and growth of most cereal crops. • The problem of timely cul- tivation has brought an increase in the use of 100 hp tractors and SP combines. This increased power makes possible operations which were previously difficult. Some farmers are unaware of the damage caused by compres- sion of the soil or wheel ruts. Tractor wheels and implements slip and smear when used in wet soil. With a four-wheel-drive trac- tor, there is less wheel slip and therefore a tendency to use it when the soil is unsuitable for cultivation. A 3-ton tractor will compact soil to a depth of "10 inches and this effect will last from spring until fall. With so many farming operations, it is not long until the entire field is compacted. Soil usually is not adversely affected by compaction when it is dry, so the key to avoiding problems is to work when the weather's fine and to use mul- tiple operations to reduce traf- fic in the fields.
