What Farmers May Deduct

What deductions are allowed a
farmer for business expenses in max

This is one of the many questions
which revenue officers who will visit
every county in the United States dur
ing January and February will an
swer in detail. Briefly, they include
the amount expended for labor in the
preparation of land for crops and in
the cultivation, harvesting and mar
keting of the crop. Deductions may
be made for the cost of seed and fer
tilizer, the amount expended for la
Dor for caring for live stock, cost of
feed, repairs to farm and other farm
buildings, but not the cost of repairs
to the dwelling. The cost of repairs
to farm fences and machinery is de-
ductible. 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 Irvine, pitchforks, spades.
etc.
The cost of machinery, such as
tractors and thrashing machines. can
not be deducted, but the cost of their
operation is a deductible item.
The value Of farm products is not
considered taxable until reduced tc
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 tay
