According to reports from Pendie-
ton, umatilla county farmers who ret
their 1918 wheat cropa after DerSm.
Der 81 are finding that their profits
win not be as great aa they thought
BY reason OF the working OF the fed
eral income tax law. The law pro-
vides that no money received after
December 81 shall be included In the
statement Of receipts for the year
previous. Inasmuch as the expenses
or farming are paid at the time on
working, they are included In the 1916
return. Therefore. next year the total
amount received for 1915 crops sold
on or after January /, 1915. will be
itemszed on the 1915 returns as net
Income. Thus farmer having i
$4,000 crop which he sold In 1919
