From the Bureau of Internal Revenue

What deductions are allowed a
farmer for business expenses in
making out his income-tax?"
This is one of the many questions
which revenue officers who will visit
every county in the United States
during January and February will
answer in detail. Briefly, they in
clude the amount expended for labor
in the preparation of land for crops
and in the cultivation, harvesting
and marketing of the crop Deduc-
tions may be made for the cost of
seed and fertilizer, the amount
pended for labor in caring for live
stock cost of feed, repairs to farm
and other buildings, but not the cost
of repairs to the dwelling. The cost
of repair to farm fences and machin-
cry is deductable, as well as the cost
of small tools and material which is
used up in the course of a year or
two, such as binding twine, pitch
forks, spades, etc.
The cost of machinery, such as
tractors and threshing machines,
can not be deducted, but the cost of
their operation is a deductable item
The value of farm products is not
considered taxable until reduced to
cash or its equivalent. If crops and
stocks were produced in 1916 and
sold in 1917, the amount received
therefor is to be included in the
farmers tax return for the calendar
year 1917 Crops produced in 1917
and on hand December need not be
considered Persons in doubt as to
any of the provisions of the income
tax section of the war-revenue act
are advised by the Bureau of Internal
Revenue to see the revenue officer
who will visit their county to assist
taxpayers in making out their re
turns, which must be filed on or be
fore March /, 1918.

SOLDIERS BODIES
TO BE RETURNED
Purple Gross Will Send Men
to Europe to Embalm and
Inter Bodies of Boys Who
Lose Lives, to be Brought
Home When War Ends.

The purple Cross association, with
headquarters in Philadelphia, and Of
which H. S. Eckles is director-gen-
eral, and j II. Mowbray field di-
rector, has for its purpose the return
of the bodies of American soldiers
who die on foreign battleiields, to
their mothers and loved ones in a
sanitary and recognizable condition,
so they can be inferred in their home
cemetery.
A bill, designed to render this
feasible is now before congress, and
the undertaking profession in all
the states are assured that this bill
will certainly be passed.
The meeting in Jacksonville, Fla,
in November of the National Funeral
Directors association and also the
meeting at the same place of the con-
ference of undertakers and EN-
balmers examining boards of North
America heartily indorse the move
ment
The latter organization, of which
l.. A. Gupton of Nashville is secre-
tary-treasurer adopted resolution
accepting a proposition whereby a
supreme council should be appoint
ed, one member from each state board
of embalming in the United States
and Canada. The duties of this
council will be to decide all questions
regarding the qualifications of and
the fitness for the work of embalmers
to be sent abroad by the Purple
Cross to the end that only the best
trained, the most efficient and the
most expert embalmers in America
shall be selected.
The bill before congress provides
for the interment of the bodies in
Europe and their removal and ship
ment to the United States after the
war, but the work of the embalmers
and others who go over for that pur
pose and for the embelming mater
ials and chemicals, will be provided
for from the funds of the Purple
Cross 1t is planned to make an
organized drive in the United States
for money for this purpose within
the near future.
Heretofore only commissioned Of
ficers Of the army have had their
bodies returned home from foreign
lands, but the feeling is general all
over the nation that any soldier who
loses his life in this war is entitled
to be brought home for final burial

.ELMORE COUNTY
GETS farm Agent
At Wednesdays Session Of
Commissioners, Money
Was Appropriated to Help
Pay Cost of Advisor for
Farmers of County.

The county commissioners Wednes-
nesday passed an appropriation OF
$4,000 to help defray the expense Of
county farm agent for Elmore coun-
ty. This action is in line with the
request of the government that every
county in the nation with any farm
ing interests should employ a farm
agent. The annual expense is about
three thousand dollars, one third of
which is paid from an appropriation
from the department of agriculture.
There are now 27 counties in Ida
no employing farm agents, and be-
fore the first of February, nearly all
of the counties will have taken this
action. The main duties of the
agent are to lend aid to the farmers
in getting seed, help and other things
needed to increase production, and
to advise with the farmers concern
ing better methods of farming. There
are many side lines in which the
agent is of inestimable value to the
people of his county. These activi-
ties are too numerous to go into in
detail, but it is a fact that any coun-
ty that has once become familiar
with the farm agent, refuses to do
without him.
H. E. Ireland, of Canyon county,
was the first farm agent in Idaho, and
in six years of service he is said to
have saved and made tne farmers
of that county a million dollars, in
the control of farm pests, the i'm
provements of crops through seed
selection, and the introduction of
better grades of live stock.
