the value of the annual crop of this
legume in Kansas is estimated rough
ly at thirty million dollars. Right
here in Shawnee county the yearly
harvest is worth about $35O,O00.
In Kansas the acreage in alfalfa
has increased from 34,3SS in 1891 to
1.026.299 in 1918. One-fourth Of the
total hay and forage acreage of the
state is alfalfa The strictly alfalfa
counties are those lying in the central
third OF the state. Jewell county
leads with an acreage of more than
fifty thousand, and Phillips, Smith,
Republic, Washington, Dickinson, Sa-
line. Harvey. Sedgwick, Sumner and
Cowley are among the big producers.
Shawnee county has an acreage of
over $4,000.
Soil Should Have Lime.
The reason that the counties Of the
eastern portion of the state do not
produce more alfalfa is that the soil
is what is called Sour" soil and is not
suited to the growth Of this legume.
When the farmers begin to administer
lime on their lands, then it will be
possible to grow alfalfa successfully,

Kansas leads the surrounding states
in the production of alfalfa, but at
that its cultivation IL on the increase
In these states. Statistics show that

while in 1910 the acreage in alfalfa in
Kansas was 956,962, it was
but 6S5,282 in Nebraska, and 206, 1928
In Oklahoma. Colorado, Idaho, Wyom-
ing. Utah and Montana are growing
more and more.
What About the Future?
The question naturally arises as to
whether or not this increase will soon
have the tendency to bring down the
price materially. The Kansas City
correspondent for the Kansas Farmer
has the following to say:
Dealers in hay on the Kansas City
market. the worlds leading distribu-
ter of alfalfa and the largest handler
of all grades combined, are not un-
aware of the expansion in alfalfa pro-
duction over the country. But they
are not pessimistic over the outlook
tor the demand for alfalfa in the next
two or three years-about as far as
one can peer into the future of any
market with any degree of accuracy.
why the optimism Of dealers in
the face of increasing production in
the states which now absorb the sur
plus of the big producers. as well as
in the older producing regions?
Handlers of alfalfa at Kansas City

1t is stated that the rental alone will
bring about 100000 q year to the

To go back to comparative statistics
again-the cost of erecting this build
ing is more than the assessed valuation
Of scores of Kansas cities and Kansas
counties.
The steel alone to be used in this
building would keep Kansas in
bridges for years. More 5anitors will
work in this place than the popula-
ton of any one of fifty Kansas cities.
The gallons of ink used there in q
year would write every word OF
Kansas political campaign. The glass
used in the windows of this 38-story
wonder would cover enough green
houses to furnish flowers for the
graves of-oh, what's the use?

THAT income TAX
Information for Farmers Is
Sent Out From Washington.
Tells How the Law Will Affect
Prosperous Soil Tillers.

Washington. d. c., Feb 2S.-1f a
farmer is so fortunate as to have a
net income of over $1,000 a year in
case he is a bachelor, or $4,000 II
married, he is subject to the income
tax, and under the law each tndtv1d-
uql must make return to the internal
revenue collector of his district on or
before the first day of March If he has
a net income of $4,000 or over ($2. 800
for the ten months of 1919. While
the interest of most farmers in this
subject is purely academic, the de-
partment of agriculture has received
inquiries indicating that some wish
to know just what is required Of them
under the new law.
The income tax law of Oct. 8. 1913.
places a tax OF l per cent upon all
net incomes of over $4,000, with an
additional tax on incomes of $4,000
or more. The first question arising
in the minds of most + ople is what
The Topeka state journal., 1914-02-28

constitutes a net income. For q man
receiving a regular salary, or q busi-
ness man with good system of book
keeping, it is easy to determine
whether or not his income is taxable.
But for the farmer who receives no
stated income, and who often fails to
keep accurate account of receipts and
expenditures, 1t is more difficult to
calculate his net income.
In order that the farmers may be
concern them, the following informa-
ton has been furnished by the inter-
nal revenue bureau of the treasury
department.:
In general. an income consists OF
amounts derived from salaries, wages
or compensation for personal service.
paid In any form; also from prOfes-
sions, business, sales or dealings in
property. or from rents, interest on
bonds or mortgages, dividends on
stocks, or other income from invest
ments. These items constitute gross
income, from which there should be
deducted the expenses OF carrying on
the business; interest paid on indebt-
edness; worthless debts charged or:
losses by fire. storm or shipwreclx. not
covered by Insurance.; exhaustion.
wear and tear of property. and any
income upon which the income tax
has already been deducted at the
the stock of a corporation which has
already paid the tax on its earnings.
Provisions of the Law.
The provisions regarding net incomes OF
5000 apply only to unmarried persons, Or
to married persons not living with wife or
husband. A husband and wife living to-
gether are entitled to an exemption of
$1,000 on their aggregate income. This
means that in case the wife has a sepa-
able only in case it reaches $4,000. But a
return must be made II the aggregate in
come of both is $500 for the year 1913.

AMERICANS ON THE JOB.

Recently the government or Aus
traIia placed an order for four engines
with the Baldwin Locomotive works
a proceeding that led 10 so much de-
bate in the federal parliament that II
was necessary 10 make an official
statement From this It appears that
not only was the Baldwin price con-
siderably lower than that made by
Australian and other firms, but that
a much speedier delivery was prom
ised. English and Scotch firms wanted
eleven or twelve months. while the
Philadelphia company offered 10 ship
the locomotives from the United
States in 10 weeks. As time was a
very essential element. the engines
being needed for a new railroad under
construction. the contract came TO this
country. Such examples of American
enterprise are by no means rare. II
will be recalled that when Lord
Kitchener wanted TO build a bridge
over the Atbara river in his campaign
in the Soudan, he sent to America for
II, and that rapid delivery OF the ma
terial enabled him 10 carry his plans
TO a brilliant finish. Give the Ameri-
can manufacturer a fair chance and
he can be confidently expected TO make
good.
