Rai(, Pinto Beans.

To date the Food Administra-
ton has received contracts from
growers for less than $4,000, 900
lbs. OF Pinto beans. This is far
below the mark set for this date.
Unless signed contracts from the
growers for several times this
amount of beans are received in
the next few days the plan will
not be successful, and growers
and shippers will lose the great
benefit Of the Food Administra-
tidn publicity and Introductory
campaign for Pinto beans.
1t is evident that the growers
do not fully understand the Food
Administration buying plan. All
must aid in making the plan clear
to growers and in pointing out
to them the Importance of CO.
operating with the Food Admin
istration in handling the present
crop. Growers should get con-
tracts at once from their county
agents or local Food Adcinistra-
ton, and send to the Bean Sec
ton, U. S. Food Administration,

Tax Anticipation
Certificates Are
Trouble Shoppers

Federal income and profits taxes
for 1919 under the new revenue act
will amount to $6,00O,000.000. Tho
first third of these taxes Will be
due and payable March -. 1919
These taxes must be paid in cash.
If no advance preparations were
made to provide means of payment,
the strain on the banking and bust
ness credits of the country might
lead to embarrassing results.
To avoid this the United States
treasury has provided a method
whereby all taxpayers may supply
themselves in advance with a me-
dium of meeting the March IS in
sIaIlment of the federal revenue
payment, without resort TO credit
at that time
This is done by offering four and
q half per cent tax anticipation Ger
Jifcates. a direct obligation Of the
United States treasury, dated Nov.
and maturing March Is.

tors having funds in hand at the
