(c ANP )y has twos=.new rip -
grams to; offer Canadian farm-
ers. They'niay now choose one of
three basic types . of accounting
packages. .
Tax Pak is designed spe-
ciftally to keep track of business
transactions related to filing
Winne tax on a cash basis. It is
the: likelychoice of the large
nurober of farmers who want a
simple bookkeeping system 'for
basic tax information.
Financial Pak emphasizes
farm' financial management by
providing the farmer with basic
fit a Bial information. This infor-
mation can also be used for filing
income tax.
Financial Pak records changes
in the farmer's cash and credit
positions on a monthly basis. This
information indicates his ability
to generate income which he can
compare with his cash operating
expenses,- machinery and equip-
ment replacement and family ex-
penses. '
To be successful, the farmer
mint'be able to identify problems
or opportunities as they arise,
analyze alternatives and 'make
decisions.
Financial Pak permits a farm-
er to use information from his
own operation to assess the finan-
cialstrength of the business and
to explore the effect of a switch
from one crop to another, from
one type of livestock to\ another,
or from one type of credit financ-
ing to another.
Production Pak, the system of-
fered for the last two years, is
still available. It is a combination
of Tax Pak and Financial Pak in
that it provides information for
production management as well
as for tax management, credit
purposes and, the over-all finan-
ial management of farm busi-
ness.

trout, is being taken to the department's truck for tagging
and a dip in its tank. She'll later be released a little further
up the river on the other side of the Port Albert dam.
TROUT TAGGINGtnce the trout is caught, he is measured and supplied with a tag by
the Department of Natural Resources' conservation officers. The purpose of the tag is to
assist the officers in sighting their movements; determining how far they move; and the
type of rivers the trout prefer to spawn in. (Staff Photo)
