new PLAN WILL EXTEND
Time FOR TAX RETURNS
Arrangement Made Which Allows
FOrty-five Days Time.-Will Ac-
cept Estimated Tax Pending
Full Report.

Although no general extension OF
time will be authorized for filing fed
eral income tax returns, due March
Is, the commissioner Of internal. rev.
enue has approved a general feature
Of tax collection which will serve for
all practical purposes as possible eX-
tension of As days for the filing of
corporation income and excess prof
its tax returns in cases where COR
porations are unable to complete and
file their returns by March Is.
If a corporation finds that, for good
and sufficient reason, it is impossible
to complete its return by March Is,
it may make a return of the estimat-
ed tax due and make payment there
of not later than March Is. If meri-
torious reason is shown as to why
the corporation is unable to complete
it's return by the specified date, the
collector will accept the payment of
estimated tax and agree to accept the
revised and completed tax return
within a period of not more than as
days.
Under the plan adopted for corpo-
ration payments and returns, the gov
eminent will be able to collect approx
imately the amount Of tax due on or
before March Is, thus meeting it's ur-
gent needs; and corporations actually
requiring further time for the prepar-
alton of their complete returns will be
granted ample time in which to do so.
One of the advantages Of this plan
is that it relieves the taxpayer of one
half Of one per cent interest per month
that would attach to the payment Of
the taxes under an extension granted
at the request Of the taxpayer. The
taxpayer will, Of course, not be reliev-
ed of the interest on such amount as
his payment may fall short of the tax
found later to be due on the basis of
his final return.
Should the payment on March Is
of the estimated tax due be greater
than the tax eventually found to be
due on examination Of the completed
return, the excess payment will auto
matically be credited to the next in
stallment, which will be due on June
Is.
Provision for systematically hand
ling this new feature will be made
in the construction of the new return
blanks for corporations. The new form
will be a combined income and excess

WOOD MADE DURABLE
BY SIMPLE TREATMENT
Timber Must Be Peeled and Thorough
ly Seasoned Before Good Results
Can Be Expected.

The fence-post problem is easily
solved on the farm by mean of a SIM
pie method of treating wood with coal
tar creosote, according to an extern
sion specialist in forestry Of the Unit
ed States department of Agriculture.
Sap pine, red oak, maple, beech, syca-
more, black gum, sweet gum, and 9TH
err abundant or inferior woods by this
means are made durable in the ground
for 10 to 20 years Of service.
1t is essential that the timber be
peeled and thoroughly seasoned before
attempting to treat it. Small flakes
Of inner bark left on the wook check
or prevent proper absorption at those
| places. Peeling is done most easily
during the spring months, but is car
| ried on at other seasons of the year.
| A spade is about the best common i'm
plement for use when the banks slips
easily, otherwise an axe or drawknife
should be used.
Because they have a uniform alb
sorbing surface of sapwood, round
sticks are more satisfactory than split
timber. With treated timber it is not
necessary to use the large-sized line
posts commonly cut and used in the
past. By using a post 3 to 4 inches
in top diameter and long enough to
allow only a few inches above the top
wire, the cost is reduced for %creosote
and for labor in handling, the post
lasts practically as long as larger
sizes, and it affords ample strength
for the fence line. These facts have
been fully established by means Of
experiments and demonstrations car.

THE SALMON INDUSTRY.

It costs about $3.50 a thousand to
produce young salmon at a hatchery
and a full grown salmon is worth
about $3.50 at present.
The direct return to the state for
money invested in fish hatcheries is
about fifty per cent a year or a hun
bred per cent every two years.
The hatcheries are built by the state
but are operated by the salmon fish
