FIGURE Up YOUR INCOME
Collector kennedy at Burlington Has
The Papers Ready Nov

The Papers Ready Nov
The Federal Income Tax season
opened Monday with the distribution
Of the forms for personal returns from
this Office.
From now until the bell rings on the
night Of March 18th, the annual re-
turns covering income for 1919 viii be
figured out and filed by citizens and
residents, together with payments OF
tax due.
The burden Of fulfilling this obliga-
ton is laid by law squarely on the
shoulders Of those who are American
citizens or residents. Every person
must determine for himself whether
his net income for 1919, figured ae-
cording 10 the Revenue Law, was suf-
fcient in amount TO require return.
II he is single, return is required
If his net income for 1919 was $1,000 or
over. A widow or widower is classed
as single person. A man or woman
living apart from his wife or husband
is also classed as a single person.
II he was married and living with
his wife on December 81, return is
required IL his net income for 1919
was $4,000 or over. In his net income
he must include that Of his wife and
minor children, if any.
II tax is due on his income, he
must make payment with his return
This payment may be made in whole
or in part of the tax due. At least one
quarter of the tax must accompany
the return.
The filing and paymust must be
done before midnight Of March 10Th
or he is classed as delinquent and is
subject TO severe penalties.
Two forms are being distributed foi
personal returns. Form 1040A is in
tended for use by person whose net
income does not exceed $4,000. A
larger form, 1040, is intended for eaci
person having net income in excess
of $4,000. Both of these forms arr
now obtainable at Internal Reyenu'
Offices and at some banks and pos
Offices.
1t is urged by the Internal Revenui
Bureau that taxpayers obtain thei
blanks at once. Failure to have
blank form at hand for an eleventh
hour return will not relieve persol
Of penalty for failure TO comply witt

Each form contains instructions 70

these should be carefully read an

FARMER MUST KNOW MARKETS
Producer Should Be Familiar With
Practices and Conditions to
Protect Himself.

The first step in the solution of
present marketing problems is in the
collection and dissemination of spe-
cific and definite information to the
interested public. The producer must
know trade practices and market con-
ditiOns in order to be more able to
protect himself and to secure full
value for his products. Regulatory
laws, Of course, are necessary, but II
the buyer or seller does not know the
provisions of the law they. may not
and quite likely will not, be able to
take advantage Of the protection the
laws afford him. This is field where
in the immediate future, the market
ing specialist, the man who has a wide
knowledge Of trade practices and con.
ditions, can be Of great service.

Measures Suggested for Control
of Alfalfa Pest.
Renovation During Month Of August
is Urged to Disturb Pupae and Put
Land In Good Condition for
Future Crops.

Following are a few measures sug-
gested by the United States depart
ment of agriculture for the control of
the alfalfa caterpillar:
Keep the ranch in the best possible
cultural condition. Irrigate 1t often
ana thoroughly, either Immediately
oefore cutting or as soon after cutting
as the crop Of hay can be removed
from the ground.
Renovate every winter and during
the month OF August, or even oftener,
II possible, by the use of good type
of alfalfa renovator, thus disturbing
any pupae that may be present and
putting the land and alfalfa in con-
dition for good growth of succeeding
crops.
Cut alfalfa close to the ground and
clean, especially along the ditch
banks, borders, and turning rows, as
well as in the main part of the field.
Cut the alfalfa earlier than Is the
general rule. The proper time is when
1t Is just coming in bloom or Is one
tenth In bloom. Watch for caterpil-
lars In the early spring crop, and II
meny are observed and are about
grown, cut the hay few days before
1t Is in bloom, and thus save the next
and future crops.
minimum amount of damage oc-
ours in fields that are Systematically
pastured all or part Of the time.
Excessive moisture Is conducive to
a diseased condition of the larvae,

Importance In control. When worms

REGULAR FEEDING IS URGED
II Cow Is Permitted to Worry Abou,
Feed She VIII Not Give Greatest
Amount Of Milk.

Regular feeding Is very important.
When feeding time approaches good
cow begins to move about In her stall
or stanchiOn and look for the feed.
If she is kept worrying about it she
will not give the greatest amount of
milk, because the demand of her d.
gestive organs is not responded to
with food. Habit has much to do with
this also. Let feeder who does not
charge Of herd which has had pune
tual attention, and right away the flow
Of milk runs down, and unless the
owner finds out the reason, the flow
Is never recovered.

FEEDING BULL CORN SILAGE
Large Majority Of Dairymen Have No
Trouble In Supplying II In Linn
tied Quantity.

Corn silage may be fed to the herd
bull In limited quantities, and while
there are those who claim II is liable
to make the bull impotent, yet the
large majority OF dalrymen and
breeders find no trouble In feeding
silage to their bulls. The bull should
receive a ration rich In protein. but
ten to fifteen pounds OF sllage daily
may be fed TO advantage.

KEEP RECORD OF EVERY cow
Accurate Tab ls Necessary to Find
Her Ability as Fat YIelder and
MIX Producer.

For the dairyman who Is shipping
market milk which is sold on the
basis Of fat content, 1t is essential
that check tests be made regularly at
home to enable the operator to keep
accurate tab On how his test is run
ming, so that he can qualify the tests
reported by the dealer to whom he
sells the milk. Furthermore, for the
most complete record Of the individu-
al production of each COW In the
herd 1t is necessary to have a record
of her dairy ability as fat yielder as
well as her record as producer Of
milk.

DAIRY
POINTS
EXPERIMENTS IN CALF FEED
Iowa Station Finds That Young AMI

Concentrates.

Our farmers are familiar with self
Now comes the Iowa station with ex-
periments along similar lines for
calves. This work Is too limited in
scope to allow Of the making Of def
mite recommendations, but a few
points of interest stand out clearly:
/. Young calves prefer whole corn
and oats to the ground grains.
2. HOminy feed does not appear to
be palatable to calves.
3. Oilmeal (0ld prOcess) appears to
be more palatable than wheat bran,
while corn gluten feed is not In favor
with calves.
A. Calves have the ability to vary
their consumption Of concentrates to
comply with their needs. For exam
pie, when whole milk Is replaced by
skim milk the calves increase their
relative consumption of low protein
concentrate feeds such as corn and
oats.
8. The calves used in this work con-
sumed ration of much narrower nu-
tritive ratio than Is generally recon-
mended.
6. The calves maintained the nutri-
tive ratio Of their ration fairly con-
stant though 1t became wider as the
calves advanced in age.
z. The consumption Of hay In
creased materially as the calves be-
came older.
8. Salt and charcoal were evidently
desired by the calves.
8. Water is important, even for
calves fed milk.
10. This trial with the free choice
system, though not demonstrating the
advisability Of its use in the rearing
Of dairy calves. shows that there lie
therein possibilities which are well
worthy Of further study.

FARMS ADAPTED TO TURKEYS
Where Grain and Live Stock Are
Principal Products Fowls Prove
Quite Profitable.

Farms, on which live stock and
grain are the principal products. are
well adapted to turkey raising, and
at present. on such places more tur-
keys are raised than on general farms
where they should be an important
part Of the miscellaneous output.
While turkeys may be profitably
raised in confinement, the expense is
considerable. their development slow.
their quality only medium at best, and
the labor in caring for them is an item
of no small consequence.

HOW TO PREVENT
BEES SWARMINC
Advice and Suggestions on Sub
ject Given by Professor
Conrad of Clemson.
BROOD CHAMBER TOO SMALL
Emigration Of Honey Gatherers Can
Be Greatly Reduced by Proper 2
Manasement-hiow Swarm May
BE Hived to Best Advantage.

One Of the problems of the beekeep
er, says. Prof. A. F. Conradi entomolo-
gist Is how to prevent bees from
swarming. The following questions
and answers taken from information
card No. 8, published recently by the
extension service Of Clemson college.
give In brief form expert advice and
suggestions on this subject:
1. Why do bees swarm?
The bee colony is divided into
workers, drones (or male bees), and
queen. Normally the queen alone
lays eggs, and to perpetuate their race
new colonies are necessary. This Is
their natural way Of increase.
2. What are conditions that induce
swarming?
(a) The brood chamber may be too
small. allowing too little egg-laying
space. (b) There may be too little
storage space. (c) There may be lack
Of ventilation. (d) There may be too
many drones.
8. At what season is swarming most
freQuent2
Mostly In early spring. but It may
occur at any time during honey flow
II conditions named In No. 2 are not
corrected.
4. Can swarming be entirely pre-
vented?
No; but It can be greatly reduced
by proper management.
s. Why should swarming be pre-
vented as far as possible?
To keep the working force together.
One hive full of bees is worth more
than any number of weak colonies.
6. Are there two queens in the hive
at swarming time?
Generally not. The young queen
has not yet come out Of the queen
cell. The old queen leaves. with the
first swarm.
z. How may swarming be reduced
or possibly prevented2
(a) If the brood chamber becomes
crowded, add another brood chamber.
(b) If bees cluster out, 1t may be due
to a crowded condition. or lack Of ven-
tilation. Ventilate the hive and add
supers when necessary. II possible
remove drone comb and also queen
cells.
8. How may a swarm be hived to
best advantage?
(a) When the swarm has settled,
shake or brush 1t into the new hive.
