NO LACK OF CONFI- DENCE IN HOLBROOK
 FIELD SUCCESS

which must impress those seeking information, is the absolute confidence in the productivity of this field.
 One would indeed go far to find a pessimist as to suc- cessful development. Nego- tiations and operations are now being conducted prac- tically on the basis of proven territory. In fact the show ings already made in the field, wherein oil has been actually shown, and indica- tions that are partially of general knowledge, have re- moved all doubt as to there being oil in the immense structure of this field. The first we'll down to proper depth may determine the quantity, which operators and geologists claim will be great. In fact, earmarks and indications considered; the Holbrook field bids fair to rival the most famous of American fields. Discussing the many favorable geologi- cal reports which have been made on the Holbrook struc- ture, JudgeL. V. Root says, in part:
 "There was a time within the memory of people living today when mines were made by the indiscriminate sink ing of shafts and running of tunnels. The work was planned by the miner whose knowledge of geology and mineralogy was confined to his own experience. He was probably a good miner and knew how to do his work. Silent witnesses are to be seen on every hand through out the mining country of results of this kind of min ing. Today, however, the mining capital of the coun- try makes no investment until the mining engineer has made a favorable report on the mining condition; the geology of the district, and the possibilities of finding ore bodies. This does not insure certainty that paying mines are to be found at every point where the en- gineer may determine a pos- sibility, but it has raised the chances from the biggest gamble to a point where the percentage of success can be figured.
 What is true of the min ing industry is no less true of the oil producing indus try, and perhaps to a greater extent the determinations of the oil geologist are to be re-. spected for he has a much larger field of research upon which to base his opinions. "
 Time has passed in the Holbrook fl cid, however, when the confidence is based alone on geological reports, for manYshowings have been made of sufficient import ance to more than corrobor- ate the geological findings. Many past known indica- tions also bear out this con-
 idence.
 The mere fact that the Hopi company is making ar- engagements for increased ac- tivity point in some measure to the favorable indications

RULES AND REGULATIONS
 OF FEDERAL INCOME TAX

season opens today with the distribution of the forms for personal returns from the offices of collectors of Inter- nal Revenue.
 Annual returns covering income for 1919 must be filed on or before March 15, 1920.
 The burden of fulfilling this obligation is laid by law squarely on the shoulders of those who are American citi- zens or residents. Every person must determine for himself whether his net in- come for 1919, figured acc cording to the Revenue law, was sufficient in amount to require a return.
 If he is single, a return is required if his net income for 1919 was $1, 900 or over. A widow or widower is. classed as a single person. A man or woman living apart from his wife or hus- band is also classed as a single person.
 If he was married and liv- ing with his wife on Decem- Der 31, a return is required if his net income for 1919 was $2, 900 or over. In his net income he must include that of his wife and minor children, if any.
 If a tax is due on his in- come, he must make pay ment with his return. This payment must be made in whole or in part of the tax due. At least one ol1arter of the tax must accompany the return.
 The filing and paying must be done before midnight of March 18th, or he is classed as a delinquent and is sub | ject to severe penalties.
 Two forms are being dis tributed for personaIreturns. Form 1O4O A is intended for use by a person whose net income does not exceed S5,- 900. A larger form, 104O, is intended for each person having a net income in ex- cess of $5, 900. Both of these forms are now obtainable at Internal Revenue offices and at some banks and post offices.
 It is urged by the Internal Revenue Bureau that tax payers obtain their blanks at once. Failure to have a blank form at hand for an eleventh-hour return will not relieve a person of penalty for failure to comply with the law.
 Each form contains in- structions for preparing and filing the return, and these should be carefully read and strictly observed.
 There is also provided a "Work sheet" which should |
  be used for making the or iginal computations, and which should be retained and preserved by the tax payer.
 Any person who is in doubt on points affecting his par ticular case, should bring such matters to the atten-- tion of the nearest Deputy Collector or Revenue agent, who will render every neees- sary aid without charge.

The opinion of the farmer who

Are the leaders of the Southern

90 per cent Of the present off

Rice Prices andIPrOduction Cost are Analysed *
By David Loewer who Gives Helpful Hints.

The rice farmer looks into tn
future with a worried but juStife(
feeling. 1t is impossible to pre-
diet his future fate with any ac
curacy In view Of the ever in
creasing price of rice growing, lei
me present the following facts fol
his earnest and careful considera
ton.
Have you ever poDdered over
the fact that all agricultural
states or nations are compare
lively poor against industrial
states or nation s. The cause is
very simple. Whenever a bust
less man sells his products he
figures his expense and adds a
certain amount Of profit. If he
finds that the supply is too large
he decreases his output. 1t is diff
ferent with the farmer.
He accepts every offer no mat
ter if above or below self cost
price and if he cannot keep up he
increases his production until the
marked is overflled and prices
drop still lower.
Whenever farmers organize
they do so in order to prevent the
above. Whenever an Organiza-
ton of farmers does not have this
goal as its main purpose in eye,
: is useless an only prevents a
better system to take its place.
We must sell every pound of rice
possible without loss, let us
throw the rest away or better
feed it to our stock.
During the month of October
1917, | took the privilege to pub
lish in the columns Of the Crow
ley Signal, an itemized statement
showing the expense necessary TO
produce one sack of rice. The
farmers who then took the pains
to give this statement some
thought were OF the opinion that
my estimation was rather too low
than too high. If we compare
the expenses of three years ago
with those of today we will come
to the conclusion that very little
reason for envy need prevail.
Let me ask you a question after
you have been fairly surprised at
the high expenses, it may be I'M
known to YOU. Do you think that
prices that guarantee us half
ways fair chance to get along are
certain to prevail in the future.

a positive number. Our prices dol

tame.
We have the S. uthern Rice
Growers Association, hear some.
one reply. The Southern Rice
Growers Association may achieve
by strenuous work only, just
! enough to pay the salaries of its
army of officials, but to create a
steady market, accumulate capt.
tai and to enforce its counsel and
warnings, if necessary by force,
is a different proposition which
it is incapable to meet. At pres
ent if the market prices climb
above the Association fixed pri-
ces they trail slowly and reluc-
family behind.
As yet l have been unable to
detect any action Of the Associa-
ton in matters which cost prac-
tically nothing as for instance.
The market prices for even the
less important foods, as cabbage,
carrots, parsnips, etc. appear in
all daily market reports but,
strange as it may be, | have never
heen able to find rice. I, hereto
fore, wish to enforce the Associa-
ton that those daily market re-
ports are issued to inform the con-
sumner of the real value of food.
The absence of a. daily report
On rice, however, is partly to
blame for the fact that he is COM
Oelled to pay 20 to 25c per h.,
instead of IL to 15c. He is thus |
'orced to discontinue the use of |
ice as a food resulting in great |
Oss for the rice farmers and caus-
ng over-production. What has
he Association done to insure
he sale of the rice to the consum-
r at a price in proportion to its
rowing expenses?
1t is certainly not the fault Of
he individual farmer if we have
made absolutely no progress dur
NC the ten years of the Associa-
ion existence. I blame the As
ociation system for that fact.
Ne have no reason either to hope
or improvements if they stead
