Keeping proper records will help a farmer determine the strong and weak points of his operation, Pilgrim continued. The Northeast Iowa Farm Business one of five such associations in the state, was established in the 1930s to provide this help. "Our association fulfills two basic needs of farmers," he added. "They are analysis and consultation." "Most businesses should analyze themselves periodically, and after this analysis, they need consultation.

Farming has become a big business and most operators realize this." The membership of the Northeast Iowa Farm Business Assn. takes in about 175 farms. The DAN M. STUBBE TERENCE THREE FOR THE NAVY North lowans who have enlisted in the U.S. Navy are Dan M.

They are Walter Boehlje, Dougherty, and William Eno, Sheffield. At the two farms, the men observed the livestock operations, including slatted-floored hog houses.

They also heard both Eno and Boehlje discuss their operations. Both operations include ho'g and cattle -raising in their livestock programs. Eno told the group that he is seriously considering going entirely to confinement raising in his hog operation.

We'd like to suggest no less respect for the following Red and Green lights that always shine for the wise investor: Red light: When you expect to get rich speedily. Green Jight: When you've worked out long-term goals. What's most important to you? A second income from dividends? Growth of your money through part-ownership of some thriving company? Interest on your money with the relative safety of principal that good bonds can provide? Draw up a chair beside your broker, explain your goals and plan investments that seem most likely to fit them.

Rc4 light: When you are convinced any broker will do. Green light: When you know it's important to choose a broker with care. If you select a broker with a Member Firm of the New York Stock Exchange, you know that his firm has met many requirements for membership and is expected to follow the rules of the Exchange. Individual brokers in these firms also have had to measure up to Exchange qualifications. You will not find clairvoyant powers there--or anywhera else.

What you will find is the kind of information helpful in wise investment decisions. Red light: When you're pretty sure a hot tip is all you need." Green light: When you're a stickler for facts. And how important they arel Stock and bond prices go down as well as up. A company may not make a profit or continue to pay dividends or interest. But facts about a company's earnings, dividends and prospects can help you choose more wisely.

Your Member Firm broker will gladly share his facts with Red light: When you plan to invest all the money you can raise. Green light: When you've taken care of your regular living expenses. And made provision for serious emergencies. Then you might look into the advantages of investing for incomo or growth opportunities. Send the coupon for our free booklet, "DIVIDENDS OVER THE YEARS."
