today requires quite as much knowl-
edge on what and how much of each
crop to plant as on the art Of growing
those crops.
In normal season many men can
raise SO bushels of corn per acre but
to produce it at profit Is another
question. And this will become even
more important as prices lower.
A good illustration is found on two
Colorado farms growing corn. AS cost
per acre was $33. while BIS cost was
only $50. There may be many reasons
for this difference but few are es-
peciaIly noticeable. A got yield Of
30 bushels and B got SO bushels per
acre. A hauled his crop to market and
it cost him nearly go cents per bush
ell to do it. B put his in silo and
fed it. This may also explain the diff
ference in yield, because farm can
easily run iown if everything is haul
ed off and nothing returned.
A proper condition Of crops and the
kind and amount of live stock for the
maximum returns on each individual
farm deserves careful attention.

NEWSY NOTES
FROM EDGWI(X
CO. HIGH SCHOOL

Last Friday both the girls and the
boys basket ball teams played al
Ogallala, to the accompaniment OF
yells from good-sized crowd Of the
Julesburg rooters. Tragic as it may
sse,t1. " have to confess that VIC
came out af botl, Ks:nes with the lit
tie end Of the score. However. the
girls were beaten BY only few
points, the score being IL "a 13. Had
it not been for the extremely slip
perry floor on which the game was
played, our luck would certainly have
been better. The Ogallala players
themselves could scarcely stand up
on it, and as for Julesburg. scarcely"
is no word for US. Our boys did not
play SO well as they might have, and
consequently were defeated 20 to 5.
Nevertheless they did their best under
the same unfavorable conditions sas
hope better luck next time After the
games a dance was given for the
entertainment Of the teams, and we
all returned on the midnight train on
Saturday morning.
Next Friday and Saturday the girls
basket ball team goes to Kimball and
Sidney to play, while the boys go to
Sedgwick Friday.
Our snappy Freshman basket ball
team met and defeated the eighth
grade team in the high school gym
nasium last Thursday evening, the
score being 20 to Is. We are very
proud of our freshies, and can see
some future stars, among them when
they add q few inches to their stat
ure.
MIR. Lanning kindly allowed US half
the proceeds of the picture show last
Tuesday evening, on conditions that
we pay half the charges on the reel.
The feature offered was special at
traction produced by Thomas Incc,
'The Midnight Patrol" The proceeds
will be used in paying the debts Of
the association incurred by the trip
to Oshkosh.
Saturday evening the kimball girls
played our girls and the town boys
played our boys. Our girls were vic
torious, the score being Is to s, Will,
the town boys won, score 26 to l.

THAT INCOME TAX

A person who waits for an Income
Tax man to pull his door-bell or his
coat-tails may find himself delin-
quent subject to severe penalties, is
the warning sounded by the Internal
Revenue Bureau officials. The duty of
getting the payments and the returns
in by March Is lies solely with each
individual and corporation liable un-
der the law
1.-The Bureau has sent every man it
can spare directly to the people to aid
in an advisory capacity" said Commits
siOner Roper. But our men have no
time ta canvass people at work or in
their homes. Every person liable to
tax or a return must take the ini-
tiative in performing the duties re-
auired by the Revenue Law. If he
needs information. blank forms. or
advice, he should seek an Income Tax
officer.
The big thing now in Income Tax
is to get the first payments in be-
tween now and March 18th. That is
the due date, under the law. Frank
ly speaking, the government needs
the money to meet its obligations fall
ing due on that date.
The returns of 1918 income are due
at the same time. Either complete
return showing the true tax, or a ten
tatiye return of the estimated tax,
must accompany each and every pay
ment made between now and March
18th.
The tentative return of estimated
tax is relief measure adopted by
the Bureau for taxpayers who cannot
complete their full return on time.
A taxpayer who needs additional time
for making a return cannot be reliev-
e, of the payment of the tax due, or
the estimated tax due. But. on max
ing the required payment between
now and March Is, the taxpayer can
secure further time up to 45 days IN
which to file complete return.
The Bureau in this way meets the
convenience of taxpayers who are
pressed for time, but it cannot relieve
them of the requirement that their
taxes due on March Is must be paid
between now and the due date.
1t is urged that every taxpayer,
who can do SO make payment IN tull
when filing his return. This method
will greatly aid the Revenue Offices
and relieve the taxpayer of the ne.
ces sity of guarding against oversight
on future installment dates.
In each case where payment IN 1uii
is not made, the first payment must
be at least one-fourth of the total tax
due, or at least one-fourth of the es.
timated tax due. No matter which OF
these methods is used in paying taxes
due March Is, the payment must ac-
tually be in the Collectors Office oy
the due date, accompanied by re-
turn.

A farmer of the past generation was
once asked if he rotated his crops. He
looked puzzled at first but braced up
and with bold face replied: "Yes,
farm every year" This man surely
was a one-crop farm.r. He probably
had a rotation Of wheat wheat, wheat.
Farm records show that the kind Of
a cropping system man adopts may
have lot to do with his income.
Shall man with 100 acres of tillable
land plant it all to wheat, or would it
be better to put part in wheat and a
part in corn? Sh- aid some of it be
planted to cane or oats? II so, how
much? What combination will make
the most money?

It is hoped by next year the pre-
MUM list will be able to offer a sub
stantial list Of premiums for the mule
exhibit. The only feature about the
Horse Department that could be criti-
cised is the inability for exhibitors to
show their animals. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that another building Of the
same size as the present cattle build
ing is not available for horses aud
overflow cattle. With such quarters.
visitors at the fair could estimate
more clearly the value of the horses.
The sentiment Of the people in the
grand stand indicated that they were
proud of the part which the horses
played in the general parade and were
also proud that Delaware county
could make such good showing of
splendid animals.
While the exhibit in the sheep and
poultry departments was not as large
as last year 1t is the opinion Of the
judges that the quality is superior.
The Fair Association would like to see
an overflow in those departments for
next season.
