Income Tax Returns Of Partnerships

Hon. Joshua W. Miles, Collector OF
Internal Revenue, has issued a state
ment calling attention 70 the fact that
under the present income tax Law all
partnerships are required TO make q
return of income regardless OF the
amount of gross or net income.
This return must be made on q blank
form furnished by the collectors Office
and known as Form 1855.
This Is o new feature of the income
tax law and Collector Miles issues
this statement at this time in order
that all persons liable TO file q part
nership return may be apprized of the
necessity for doing so. He said:
Partnerships rs such are not sub
ject to taxation under the statute, but
individuals carrying on business in
partnership are taxable upon their
distributiye shares of the net income
of such partnerships, whether distri-
buted or not, and are required 70 in
clude such distributive shares in their
returns.
''The larger business concerns are
probably aware Of the necessity of
filing the partnership return, but 10 IL
the great number of small concerns
which fear will fail to file this state
mems because the necessity therefore is
unknown 70 such concerns
These returns must be filed In the
Office OF the Collector Of Internal
Revenue st Baltimore not later than
June Is. Every partnership, without
regard 70 the amount Of It's gross or
net income, should apply TO the coll
lector's promptly for . blank form up-
on which 70 dle its return"

The 1917 crop of Maryland tobacco
marketed in 1918, consisted of approx
mstely 2s,552 hhds., of which @, 1893
hhds. weEt TO the Baltimore market,
including $50 hhds. of ground leaves
of the 1918 crop. while the remainder,
about 5,35i hhds., went directly TO
private purchasers.
The market assumed an activity
with about the first arrivals of the
new crop, readily picking up at the
previous years prices of from 10 TO Is
cents, for common to medium, and 80
cents for the fancy grades, and rapid
~ advancing, well-nigh proportion
ately on all grades when by the latter
part of July the unprecedented advance
of 20 points was attained, the best
at this time were selling for so cents
per pound.
During the early part of August a
precepible change prevailed In the
marked, buying began TO slacken,
stocks began TO accumulate and prices
began TO decline, while not more than
half the crop had come 20 market.
Under these influences the market
grew sluggish and prices continued
downward. The sellers, however,
maintained stubborn resistance 20 the
downward pressure with the result that
considerable stock was carried over at
the end of 1918, which was subsequent
~ sold at prices ranging from about
Is TO 40 cents.
The new system OF selling and buy
ing, inaugurated in March, 1918, has
met with general favor and the added
feature giving right 10 buyer and SELL
er TO q direct deal on accumulated
stocks, not in daily or current demand
solves about the only impracticable
feature that developed during its frst
years tryout.
The new crop is now arriving in ap-
parently ample supply and indicates
Q weli-cured crop OF excellent quality
prices ranging from Is 70 Is cents for
common to medium, and 30 TO 90 cents
for medium length ripe to fancy. Ten
dency of market Is as yet undecided.
With the war at an end the transport
tation situation Is clearing up for both
foreign and domestic shipments, and
prospect looks bright for an active
year in the trade.

Pasture and Hog Farming
Uraed for St Mary's County

An unusually we'll attended meeting
Of the First District Farmers Club
was held in the big tobacco warehouse
at So. inigoes on Saturday, May 3,
when Prof. ]. +. Metzger, agronomist,
and DIR. s.. s Buckley, animal hus-
bandman, Of the Maryland extension
service, aud T.. z. Russell, of the De-
partment OF Agriculture, and formerly
secretary OF the National Swine Grow
ers' Association, addressed a repre-
sentative gathering OF farmers from
oil sections of the county.
After r. T. Abel, president OF the
Climb, had called the meeting TO order,
Prof. Metzger was introduced and gave
a very interesting talk on the grow
ing OF vetch and soy beans for hay
and seed, calling particular attention
10 the fact that for every pound Of
plant grown vetch produces five pounds
OF soil improving roots, and that soy
beans Is greater yielder than any
other hay crop except alfalfa, three
tons to the aero being reasonably sure.
He was followed by Mr. Russell,
who discussed hog growing not only
from o theoretical standpoint, but from
what he had learned during twenty
Ave years of successful hog raising.
He pointed out the wonderful opportu-
mites that arc being neglected in st.
Mary's. where the soil Is we'll adapted
TO the growing Of alfalfa that would
produce the best and cheapest pork.
Particular emphasis was given the
necessity of starting with good breed
ing stock and proper care OF sows
preceding narrowing time. His advice
was practical and from the attention
paid him there Is no DOUBT that the
farmers Of the county will greatly
benefit from 10.
DR.. Buckley also talked hogs and
agreed with Mr.. Russell that the best
way 70 raise them Is by the growing
of pasture crops, allowing the hogs 20
do the harvesting. He also devoted
some time 20 the question Of curing
meat aud mentioned the fine record
that Maryland cured hams and bacon
had made at the national ham and ba-
con show last year, when sixteen en-
tries from this state won ten out Of
fifteen prizes, including the first prize.
John II. 7. Brsscoe, Leonardtown
attorney, took advantage of the OPP
portunIty offered by the good attend
ance 20 get In q short but telling APP
peal for the victory loan and Capt.
Alexander Kennedy made some re-
marks complimentary 20 the visiting
speakers.
County Agent q. r. wathen, Jr.,
arranged the meeting and deserves q
