LATEST RULING
ON INCOME TAX
FOR THE FARMER

The following is The latest ruling
received by the office of the collector
Of internal revenue for the Sixth Dis
trict of California, from the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, relating
to the operation of the income tax law
as concerns farmers.
The term farm" Is herein used,
embraces the farm in the ordinary ac-
cepted sense and includes plantations,
ranches, stock farms, dairy farms,
poultry farms, fruit farms, truck
farms and all land used for similar
purposes; anG for the purpose of this
decision, all corporations, partnerships
or individuals who cultivate, operate
or manage such farms for gain or
profit, either as owners or tenants,
are designated as farmers"
All gains, profits and income de-
rived from the sale or exchange of
farm products, whether produced on
{ lllS III VI pun SldSSu anu IeSOlu w
the farmer, shall be included in the
return of income for the year in
which the products were actually mar
leted and sold.
All items of expense connected with
the planting, cultivating, harvesting
and marketing of a crop, OF the care,
feeding and marketing of livestock,
may be claimed as deductions only in
the return rendered for the year du-
ring which such expenditures were
made. This ruling applies even
though the crops or stock in connec-
ton with which the expenses were in
Cured may not have been sold or
exchanged for money or money
equivalent during the year or which
the return is rendered.
That portion of Treasury Decision
2153 and Paragraph 80 of Regula-
tions No SO (Revised) which provides
Cost of stock purchased for resale
is an allowable deduction under the
item Of expense" is hereby annulled
It is held that the amount exnded in
purchasing stock for resale is an
investment of capital and is not to
he taken as an item of expense for
the year in which the stock was pur.
chased, or for any subsequent year;
but when the stock so purchased is
sold its cost is to be deducted from
the sales price in ascertaining the
amount of gazing or profit returnablo
for tax purposes
Where the cost of stock or farm
products purchased in 1916, or any
previous year, for resale, or the ex-
pense of producing stock or products
on the farm, has been claimed as a
deduction or taken into consideration
in ascertaining the farmers liability
to income tax for some year prior to
1917, and the stock or farm products
so purchased or produced were sold
during the latter year, the entire pro-
ceeds of the sale are to be returned as
income for the year in which the sale
was made, for the reason that the
farmer, having once received the bene
fit of the deduction, is not again en-
titled to it. If, however, such cost
or expense had not been claimed as a
deduction, or had not been taken into
consideration in ascertaining the
farmers liability to income tax for
a previous year, the amount of such
cost or expense may be deducted from
the eslling price of the stock or farm
products and the difference only re-
turned as income.

SEEK ROBERTSON.
Services of T.. of P. Coach Desired at
 Naval Training Base.

New York June 13.-Lawson Rob- ertson. track and field coach at the University of Pennsylvania, is expect ed shortly to take up the duties as an athletic instructor at one of the East ern naval training stations. The po- sition has been offered to him by Wal ter Camp. commissioner on athletics for the Navy, who is keen to nave Robertson impart some of his athleuc knowledge to the student sailors.
 The only hitch that stands in the way of Robertson and his patriotic duty is his contract with the Pennsyl- vania authorities. However. 1t is eX- pected that Robertson will obtain his release from the Pennsylvanla Ath- letic council.
 Robertson ended his second year as coach of the Pennsylvania track team recently During his regime he has obtained creditable results.

JACKSON IGNORED
Famous Oxford Runner, Now Lieut. in British Army, is Awarded D. $. Q. Badge for Brilliant Service.

Lieutenant Colonel A. N. $. Jackson, the famous Oxford University runner, well known in America as a member of the combined Oxford and Cam bridge athletic team which visited the United States in 1914, has been awarded a second bar to his Distin- guished Service Order for brilliant service on the battlefield. The official record of his gallantry is as, follows:
 His battalion was subjected all day to an intense bombardment which caused many casualties and cut off all communication by wire with the front line companies. He handled the situ- ation with such skill and initiative that when the enemy attacked the casualties had been evacuated and re- placed by endorsements and com munication established.
 Owing to his powers of command and the spirit he inspired in his men, the attack was repulsed on the greater part of his front, while where the enemy penetrated into the front line they were counter attacked and held at bay till endorsements arrived The enemy were driven back with heavy losses and the position con- pletely established
 Jackson won the milo at the JTni- servity sports and in three consecu- tive years, but his greatest triumph was his victory in the 1,5OO-metre race at the Olympic games at Stock holm in 1912.

 If the Spartans wish to accept this challenge they may communicate with the manager of the Frog Hol- lows, Joe Gutowski. Manager Gutow- ski has been handling the Spalding Ivery we'll this season although it is the first year that he has held a po- sition on the team.

BESSOLO SOME CATCHER.
Aviation Student Grabs Baseball
 Dropped TOO Feet From Plane.

Kelly Field, Tex, June 13.-Cor, poral Michael Angelo Bessolo, of thl 819th Aero Squadron here, caught baseball dropped from an aeroplan1 700 feet in the air, on DecoratiolI ! Day, according to the Kelly Fiel& Eagle Lieut. Eugene Bowers wen up in his machine just before tn ! baseball game of that day with thre dozen balls. and dropped them on at a time, as he circled around tth1 field with his altimetre registering TOO feet, to the players who wer waiting for a catch, but the Wini was blowing hard and the course cl the balls was difficult to estimate.
 Just as the last balls were being thrown and the attempt was be- lieved to be a failure, one described a wide curve and came straight for Bessolo. He held his hands high and made a sure catch. his hands being driven hard against his chest, stag gering him slightly, and bruising his hands, but he played in the game ir right field without ball being hit i1 his direction. Bessolo was an as| sistant teller in the United Statei National bank in Los Angeles pre- vious to going in the service. Hs played ball on the St. Vincent col lege and University of Santa Clara teams and refused an offer to play professional baseball after gradpa- ton. Street, the Washington Ameri- can league catcher, held the record with 542 feet from the top of the Washington monument.

Cincinnati, June 13.-In a majority finding the National Baseball commis- sion yesterday declared the transfer of Player Scott Perry from the Atlanta club to the Philadelphia American League club null and void and upheld the claim of the Boston National league club to the players services upon the payment of $2,OOO to the Atlanta club The Boston club is also permitted to return the player to At lanta if, after thirteen days trial, it desires to do so.

 ADVANCE OF CUBS
Burns Home Run Brings Defeat
 to Cook County Boys

New York, June 13.-Pou Perritt, the loose jointed Louisiana planter, got in front of the Cub stampede on the Polo Grounds yesterday, and for at least tWenty-four hours held up the wild dash of the Cubs through the Atlantic seaboard. Polly managed to trip up Moose MitchelIs cohorts for the first defeat which has been plas- tered on the Cubs in the East this spring. Perritt didn't win with much to spare, as he caught Lefty Tyler on one of his very good days. but Poll succeeded in getting a l to 0 verdict over the able southpaw.
 The game Was the first that the Giants have taken from the Cook county aggregation this season and the victory stopped the Chicago win ming streak after the Cubs had reeled off nine straight.
 Polly has been a most handy asset around the Harlem meadow in the last fortnight. Since the Giants re- turned home from that awful Western trip they have won five games and lost four, and Polly has pitched three of the victories. In the three games only one run has been scored on him. To beat Cooper of the Pirates and Tyler yesterday Perritt was obliged to pitch shutouts. The score:
