Inventory Basis For Re-
porting Farm Income

Thousands OF dollars more than 70.
qulrcd were paid by Oregon farmers
In 1919 TO the United States trcasur-
or In the form OF income taxes. 4
rather discomforting fact about this
was that such could have been avoid
ed II the farmer had kept "A complete
record OF his business and known
how TO make out his reports.
In the last few years II II safely
estimated that nine out OF ten farm
srs reported their income ON the cash
receipts aud disbursements basis
They should have used the inventory
method II IN not necessary that a
farmer know his exact cost of pro-
ducing a bushei OF wheat or OF rails
INK n steer In order To uee the ipven-
tory plan. Tho inventory plan as
now approved by the federal treasury
department provides that the farmer
may use "The farm value OF livestock
and grain" This means that the
farmers must keep records aud ac'
counts. which practice he should
Adopt anyway.
Reporting the income on the In
vcntory basin provides against doubi-
Ing up two years income into one.
through the holding over OF crops
and livestock intended for market.
This holding often results In very
little. IL any, net income the one year
and an abnormaily large net income
the next year. Since the rate OF tax
alton II higher az the net income be-
comes higher a per cent on All
amounts up 20 $1,000. \ per cent or
the amounts between $4,000 ana
$4,000 and surtnx OF one per cen;
on all between $1,000 and $4,000. n
surtax OF two per cent on thV
amounts between $4,000 and $4,000.
II can readily be seen that the farmer
who reports his income on cash
basis pays more taxes. often so or
100 per cent more. than II he includ-
cd his inventory values each year.
Some confusion may result when a
man changes from the cash plan OF
reporting TO the inventory plan. but
With o little thought and with the
help which should be secured from

factorily be made.
