amount expended for labor in the
preparation of land for crops and in
the cultivation, harvesting and mar

Deductions may be made for the
cost of seed and fertilizer, the
amount expended for labor in caring
for live stock, cost OF feed, repairs

but not the cost of repairs to the
dwelling. The cost OF repairs 20
farm fences and machinery is de-
ducuDle, as well as the cost " small
tools and material which is used up
ln the COURSE Of year or two, such
as binding Irvine, pitchforks, spades,
etc.
The cost OF machinery, such as
tractors and titre,sitfi6 iiffteSiR 81 eEsfl
not be deducted, but the cost of their
operation is a deductible 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
