GERMAN GAS AND
| SHELLS MAKE FRANCE
BLOOM ANEW

Devastated France is now a fer
! tile agricultural country, rich with
red clover and alfalfa. German
shells did the blowing and German
poison gas fertilized the soil. The
great need of France today is labor
saving devices which can be welded
by the old men and boys, who are
the only farmers left.
This was the report brought back
from France by Hugh Fullerton, OF
the Long Island Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, on behalf of the
American Committee for Devastat-
ed France, of which Miss Anne
Morgan is the head. Mr.. Fullerton
discussed the needs of France at a
meeting yesterday afternoon at the
headquarters of the committee, at
West Fortieth Street.
"The French agriculturalists be-
lieved that the devastated areas
would never again be productive, u
he said. 81 went over two months
ago convinced that this was not
true, because l had experienced ir
tearing up Long Island soil with
dynamite and had found the sub
soil fertile. 1t is an old axiom OF
agriculture that the subsoil cannot
be productive and the French gov
ernment, acting on this premise hac
condemned large portions of what
fused to be the most productive area

The widespread distribution of the
boil weevil now reaching from south
western Texas to the Atlantic sea-
board, will be another most important
factor in affecting the staple adverse
ly One lock of cotton punctured in
a maturing boil will stain the other
three or four locks and thereby re-
duce the value of the entire line
where much of this damage IS in evil
dence. The boil weevil is responsible
for large amount of stains in the
cotton grown in 1919 and will un-
doubtedly affect a large proportion
of the staple harvested in 1920.
"The spinners and cotton trade gen.

counter these difficulties on an in

Income Tax Information

Forms 1O4OF, schedule Of farm
income and expenses will not be
released by the department until
February Is, 1920, but in the
meantime those wishing to use
these forms should make up their
inventories so that they can put
the results on the forms as soon
as they arrive.
This work sheet or schedule OF
farm income and expenses is to
be used in determining the net
income from farm business. Ii
may be used by farm owners who
work their own farms or rent
them out on shares, or by ten
ants.
If you have two or more farms,
it may be desirable to fill out a
separate sheet for each farm.
This schedule is to be delivered
to the Collector of Internal Reve-
nue. with your income tax return
(form 1O40A or form 1O4O). You
should keep a copy for reference
next year.
All the farm income from what
ever source must be reported in
this schedule. Only income act
ually received need be included,
but this does not mean that the
taxpayer must receive cash. Any
thing Of value received instead Of
cash must be considered income to
the extent of it's cash value. Thus,
the value Of groceries, merchan-
disc, etc, received in exchange
for eggs, butter, or other produce
must be reported as income.
The value Of farm produce
which is consumed by the farmer
and his family need not be report
Ell as income; but expenses incur
red in raising produce thus con-
sls.ned must not be claimed as de-
auctions.

Mail Over North and South High
way.

The office of District State
Highway Engineer Ewing was
lust completed sketch maj
showing distance between post
offices on the route of the North
and South Safe Highway, between
Boise and Lewiston, the data be
ing compiled in connection with
the move inaugurated by M
C. Hail. of Winchester, to secure
with the completion of the great
highway the establishment of a
star mail route, maintained by
auto service, said Sundays Lew
iston Tribune. Preliminary in
vestigation convinces that the
type Of highway being construct
ed and the many offices served
will enable such a service to be
provided that an auto line of mail
wagons will be justified, consid-
ering the now roundabout way
that the mail must travel by train.
With the definite data ON dis
tances now in hand, the Win
chester people viii now compile
other information in the campaign
to have such a mail route estab-
ished with the completion of the
state highway. The Commercial
club of Lewiston some months ago
endorsed the step Of the Winches-
ter people and will give further
cooperation in the move.
The data compiled by District
En- gineer Ewing's office shows
that the distance over the state
highway from Boise to Lewiston
is 339 and $1,000 miles. The spe-
cific distances out of Boise be-
tween postoffices are as follows !:
