CAN'T RELEASE MEN
FOR SUGAR SEASON
President Informs Gov. Graham
Troops Cannot Be Fur.
Laughed for Labor.

Montpelier, March s.-Some time ago,
Governor Graham wrote the secretary Of
war asking brief furloughs from Camp
Devens for Vermonters experienced In
sugar making. The adjutant-general OF
the army replied, February 16 that there
is no authority for granting furloughs for
such purpose. The Governor then sent
letter to the President to which a reply
has been received from the adjutant-
general. Copies Of these letters are quoted
below. in order that farmers may have all
the information available at present on
this subject.
Montpelier, Feb. q. 1918.
president Woodrow Wilson,
Washington. d. c.
Dear Mr.. President:
ION February Is, addressed letter to
the secretary Of war. a copy Of which IL
enclosed herewith and on February IS, the
acknowledgement replied; copy of his reply
is also enclosed.
you will note that the Acknowledgement
in his reply says. there is no authority for
granting furloughs for the purpose stated.
1t does not seem to me that furloughs. II
granted. must be granted for the purpose
referred to in my letter Of February Is to
Secretary Baker. but that experienced
men might be granted leave generally to
allow them to come back here and engage
in the conduct of the maple sugar in
dustry.
You have a much clearer idea Of labor
conditions in the country at large than
l have; but in Vermont. farm labor con-
ditions are acute. Relief ought to be
afforded at once. either through the
power vested in you as communicating
chief. or by proper legislation. l am
advised that certain legislation looking
toward this end is pending. The situa-
ton as I see 1t is that if the farmers
could be advised either yes or no. very
soon. they would then know how extern
sively they could plan for the coming sea-
sons work, which Is upon us now. II
brief furloughs can be granted. may not
this be done at once. so that the farmers
may receive immediate benefit and food
production be stimulated by it's psy-
Geological effect in increasing the acreage
under the pillow. To my mind the subject
Of farm labor ought to receive immediate
attention and the farmers should be ad-
vised authoritatively just what they may
expect In the way Of relief
Very respectfully yours,
"HORACE F. GRAHAM,
Governor"
washington. Feb. q, 1913
Governor Of Vermont.
Montpelier, VT.
Dear Sir
with reference to your letter Of Feb.
ruary q. 1918, to the President regarding
the matter of furloughs for the farmers
of Vermont. / beg leave to advise you
that at the present time there Ia no
| authority for either discharging or fur
| Laughing enlisted men for the purpose
of attending to the labor necessary in the
production of crops. 1t is believed that
this is subject Of legislation now be-
fore Congress. but what the outcome OF
said legislation will be. 1t is impossible
to say.
II regret that l am unable to give
you more favorable or definite informa.
ton regarding the future policy in thii
matter.
Very respectfully,

| $3.50 FLOUR LAW
FOR EVERYBODY
All Exceptions to Food Admins
tration Rule Revoked-Al.
lies Need Wheat.

Washington, March 7.-All exceptions to
the food administration rule recurring the
purchase of an equal amount of sub
stitutes with each purchase of wheat flour
were revoked to-day because of the neces.
sity of conserving wheat for the allies.
The entire country thus is put on a
parity in regard to buying Of wheat flour.
Exceptions to the rule had been allowed
in certain localities where substitutes ara
little known and hard to obtain.
Increased demands for breadstuffs from
the allies were announced several days
ago, when the food administration
abolished the meatless meal and the pork.
less Saturday, as the consumption of
wheat is closely related to the consumption
of meat and 1t was deemed more impera.
tive to save the grain.
Shortage in arrivals from the Argentine
caused the enlarged requests on this
country.

INCOME TAX RULES
FOR THE FARMER

Washington. March S.-Income tax req.
ulations for farmer, issued to-day BY In
ternal Revenue Commissioner Roper. pro-
vide that all gains, profits or income re-
ceived in 1917 from sale or exchange Of
farm products, whether raised on the
farm or purchased and resold, must be in
cluded in the return. The rules apply to
all persons or corporations operating ordi-
nary farms, ranches, plantations, stock,
dairy, fruit, or truck farms.
Deductions from gross income may be
claimed only for expenses connected d.
rectly with farming operations for last
year, even though crops on which the ex-
penditures were made were not sold with
in the year. A former ruling that the cost
of stock purchased for resale Is an allow
able deduction under the item of expense
is annulled, and these expenditures now
are regarded as capital investments. Con-
sequently, when the livestock is sold the
original cost may be deducted from the
sales price, to ascertain the profit which
is taxable.

arms into the house. The servants of
the Roosevelt household warmly well
coined the colonel.
