FARMER ATTENTION.
HERE Is CHANCE TO LEARN
ABOUT THE INCOME TAX

Many farmers will be expected to
pay the Federal Income tax this year
and there is considerable question as
to the proper method of making the
returns for the tax. The income tax
collector will doubtless get all the re.
ceipts but may overlook some of the
allowance deductions and expenses,
unless you are informed of the legiti-
mate deductions and expenses and call
them to the attention of the tax col
lector.
/ have been very fortunate in get
ting Mr.. S. H. Thompson, Farm Man
agement Demonstration of Iowa to
come here and address the farmers OF
Mahaska county at the City Hail. Os-
kaloosa, Iowa, on Thursday, January
oath, at p. m. Mr.. Thompson will
take up the income tax as it applies to
farmers and will answer any questions
you wish to ask in regard to making
your return for the income tax.
Mr.. Thompson will also take up the
subject of farm accounts and explain
the best method and importance of
keeping farm accounts. Every farmer
should keep some kind of farm re-
cord, so that he can know at the end
of each year just what his profits
have been, and what branch of his
business has paid him most and which
has paid him least. Any one who is
in doubt as to the proper method of
making his return for the income tax
or anyone who starts or expects to
start system of farm accounts can
not afford to miss this meeting. Tell
your neighbor of the meeting and don't
forget the place and date. We want
to have a good attendance at this
meeting. Signed; Rex H. Wickham
County Agent.
