of the man in the moon may have
grown ont of the lovesick young
couples hope that 'twere a man rather
than II woman to whom their blissful

lore substantiating this belief, how
ever. Some folklore hath it that the

WHY FARMERS SHOULD
USE INVENTORY IN
MAKING INCOME REPORT

From various and seemingly au-
thoritative sources many farmers
have received the information that
they are not allowed to use their in
ventories in making their income tax
report. This apprehension should be
dispelled at once. The rulings are
very plain on this point. The farmer
who takes an inventory Of his stock
and crops at the beginning and end of
the year, can ard should use it in max
ing his report, says w. E. Foard of
the University of Missouri College of
Agriculture. The inventory value of
all live stock and crops on hand at be-
ginning of year january plus all
farm expenses for the year, should be
subtracted from the sum of all farm
sales and inventory value at end of
year. The difference is net income.
From net income, the farmer takes
personal exemptions and church con-
tributions to find the income on which
he is to pay tax. Inventories should
be taken now and datel January / in
order to start the year 1920 Alright.
By figuring income on the inven-
tory basis, one gets around the diff
ficulty where two crops may be sold
the same year, thereby instead of hav-
ing to record two years income in
one, it properly distributes the income
in the year in which it was actually
made. This principle holds true for
stock that may be carried over from
one year to another. The inventory
method protects the man who may
have a sale and sells off lot of live
stock and feed. A man will pay 500
more income tax on $4,000 income
when this is all paid in one year as
compared to paying on $4,000 for each
Of two years.
A farm record properly kept will
save the farmer many times its cost
in income tax alone, because the in
ventory and record will reflect the
proper income. Without the record
the farmer will almost invariably re-
port an income larger than he really
has. Get a farm account book now
and start your record for 1920. You
can secure simple account books from
your county agricultural agent, or
from the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, Columbia, Mo- Also many banks
furnish their customers with service
able books.

he continued. ave want to focus the
attention of the whole State upon it
The 1919 Fair broke all records for
attendance; but we will have so many
better attractions this year that we
are confident new high mark of sue

ton of County Fair and Chautauqua

brought about"
One outstanding feature of the 1920
Fair will be the "White City" camp
grounds, which are to be big enough
to accommodate thousands of visitors.
Arrangements will be made to allow
campers from any town or county in

MISSOURIAN WINS FIRST
PRIZE IN NATIONAL
CORN GROWING CONTEST

One thousand dollars and gold
medal have been awarded j. R. Shell
ton, Holden, Mo-, by the Farm Jour-
nal of Philadelphia as first prize in
their national five-acre corn growing
contest held last year. He produced
an average of 127.47 bushels of Boone
County White corn on the five acres.
Mr.. Shelton first won the State
prize, offered by the Missouri Corn
Growers Association, with this same
five acres. On corn from that five
acres exhibited at the State Corn
Show in Columbia, Farmers Week,
Mr.. Shelton received several cash
prizes. One prize after another came
as reward for effective work.
Yet Mr.. Shelton did not use any I'M
usual methods in handling his small
field. He grew the crop on piece of
bottom sod land which had been in
grass for ten years. Careful, thor
ough preparation of the seed bed, the
use of good seed, and clean cultivation
during tie growing season were the
simple methods used by him.
In acknowledging receipt of the
Farm Journals award, Mr.. Shelton
modestly states that "there is only a
very little of this praise and honor
due me, for eight years ago / knew
nothing about corn and all | know |
have gained through the Missouri
Corn Growers Association and the
College Of Agriculture; so this praise
is not due me, but Missouri"
| Mr.. Shelton is vice-president for
Southeast Missouri of the Corn Grow
ers' Association, an organization fos-
tered by the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture to develop and
maintain the production of pure seeds.
The seed corn Mr.. Shelton used in
making his high yield was grown by
himself and tested before planting.
Mr.. Skeletons son is also interested in
corn growing, having won a champion
ship prize at the State Corn Show in
January, and is taking the Short
Course at the College of Agriculture,
J Columbia.
