TAX TN KIND.

!VIvO FARMERS AND QUARTERMASTERS.
i The following is the system adopted for the
collection of the tax in kind:
| An officer of the Quartermaster Generals De-
apartment is assigned to the special charge of
! the subjects. Acontrolling Quartermaster, with
the rank of Major, is assigned to each State,
and Post Quartermaster, with the rank of Cap
tain, to each Congressional District, where it is
practicable to collect the tenth.
Each Congressional District will be subdiyid-
ed by the Post Quartermaster in charge of it in
to sections, for the convenient delivery by the
taxpayer of his quota of produce, and agents
will be appointed by that officer to take charge
of the depots to be established in each section.
Before these depots can be established, or the
assessments required under the law be made,
the crops Of small grain, hay, and the clip of
wool for the present year will have been secured.
To relieve farmers from the risk and inconve-
nence of storing the Government portion, as
well as to obtain Immediate supplies for the use
of the army, the Department authorizes and re-
quests farmers residing near posts where Guar
termasters are now stationed to deliver the GO
vernment's tenth or any part of it, to that Quar-
termaster.
Under the law, farmers are required to deliv-
er their tenth at depots not more than eight
miles from the place of production. If they
will deliver under this request, the Government
will pay for the transportation in excess
eight miles. The Qseetermaster receiving pro-
duce under the rvte will give receipts to the
producer as evidence that so much of his tax is
paid And as the Post Quartermaster of the
Congressional District is responsible for the
tenth, after the assessor has established and
made it known to him, the Quartermaster to
whom the prodaceis delivered will also receipt
for il. to the Post Quartermaster of the District
w4o viii endorse copy Of the receipt upon the
assessors estimate before transferring it to the
agents at the receiving depot.
