INCOME TAX REGULATIONS
 FOR FARMERs EXPLAINED.
All Profits from Sale or Exchange of
 Farm Products Included.

Washington, March 7.-Income tax regulations for farmers, issued today by Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper, provide that all gains, profits or income received In 1g17 from sale or exchange of farm products, whether raised on the farm or purchased and resold must be included iii the return. The rules apply to all persons or cor- porations operating ordinary farms, ranches. plantations, stock. dairy Fruit pr truck farms.
 Deductions from gross income may be clasmed only for expenses oohneet- ed directly with farming operations tor last year, and made during the year. even thoGgh crops on which the expenditures were made were not sold within the year A former ruling that the cost of stock purchased for resale is an allowable deduction under me item of expense is annulled. and ! these expenditures now are regarded i as capital Investments. Consequently, when the livestock Is sod, the original cost may be deducted from the sales <, price, Sto ascertain the profit which is i taxable. = Under the same procedure, if ..e cost of stock or farm products pt.r- chased in any year previous to 1917 1 were deducted in returns of those years, and the stock sold last year, the | entire proceeds are to be included in 1 the taxable income. This applies only
 to farmers who have made income tax i returns heretofore If this deduction
 had not been claimed 1t. may be taken from the selling price of stock
 last year to determine the taxable i profit.
 Farmers who keep books according to some approved method of account ing which clearly shows net income and who take annual inventories may prepare their returns in accordance with their inventory record. Livestock
 purchased for draft breeding or dairy
 purposes may be included in the in.
 ventorv for each year at figure whicl will reflect the reduction in value es-
 timated on the basis of increased agt
 of the animals.
 These regulations relate only to farm
 operating income and not to prof
 which may have resulted from sal
 of a farm. Neither is a farmer re . quired to include in his taxable incom l the value of farm produce consumed b. himself and family. If produce is ex . changed for merchandise, the uarke
 value of the material received is to b l considered as income.

MILK coNDENslNe
 COMPANIES REVOLT
Against Milk Prices Set by Fooo
 Commissioners.

Chicago, March S.-The revolt of milk condensing companies today against milk prices set by food com missions is due to unfavorable market conditions, J. J. Fitzpatrick, mana ! ger of the Borden company, declared tonight.
 Mir. Fitzpatrick said he understood there were 30,o06,00 cases of con- densed and evaporated milk on hand in the United States. Domestic con- sumption runs about 1e,000.000 cases la year, leaving 14,000,000 for export. The government which fixes it's own price for purchasing. has tonnage for only 4,200,000 cases a year. With no visible outlet for nearly 10000, 900 cases, condcnsaries are not eager to buy high priced milk to add to their stores" he said. "The con densaries, I understand, were. not bound by variou agreements reached for. instance, at New York, Detroit and Chicago. as to prices to be paid l farmers. The distributors of straight
 milk alone were involved"
 l For the Chicago district, which in.
 cludes southern Wisconsin, northerr Illinois, northwestern Indiana ,and western Michigan the price was a 1 first fixed at s2.S3 per hundredweigh 1 to the farmer. Farmers, however, pro tested so vigorously that further con siderat tion was given and a new pric, of $310 4fixed.
 Milk distributors are still payins this price. Today the condensarie sent out $2.83 bid. It is said tha
 ccndensaries throughout tine count1, 1 have made pToportionate reduction
 in their bids.

 Whenever bone is needed for some special operation, there are always men willing to give some-a leg if necessary to save some mangled mate from being crippled for life.
