products held for favorable market
prices cannot be deducted as loss, for
the reason that when such products
are sold the shrinkage will be reflected
in the selling price.
Sale of Farms and Land.
The value of agricultural lands has
been jumping during the past few
years, and during 1919 many owners
sold out part or all of their lands at
big profits All such gains constitute
income and must be taken into the net
income for the year.
Any person who sold part of farm
or ranch, or part of parcel Of land,
must also show any gains realized by
the safe.
The method Of figuring gains and
losses on such transactions is pre-
scribed in the Income Tax regulations,
copies of which may be secured from
Internal Revenue Collectors.
Forms for Returns.
The Internal Revenue Bureau has
issued an improved Form 1O4OF for
the use of farmers. This form, to-
gether with Form 1040A or 1910, will
give the farmer explicit information
as to how to properly figure his net
income for 1919.
There are two methods of figuring a
farmers income tax return this year.
He may make his return on the basis
of the difference between the money
and goods received for his products
and the cash paid out for actual allow
able farm expenses within the year.
Or he may make his return on the ac-
crual basis, which means computing
the receipts and expenses that pertain
to the taxable year, excluding income
earned and expenses incurred i'll pre-
vious or succeeding years.

Chicago, March 1.-The situation OF
American hospitals for the insane was
termed truly terrible" by DR.. Ray
Lyman Wilbur, president of Stanford
University, in an address he delivered
here today at the Annual Congress of
Medical Education. y
After emphasizing the need for
teaching hospitals in every large city
III the country, Dr. Wilbur had this
to say Of the hospitals for the insane ::
I'VE put tens of thousands of the
mentally sick into great isolated in
stitutions, largely without medical
students or training schools for nurses.
Through competent administrators we
care for them reasonably well, but we
have learned and are learning but lit
tie of mental diseases.
''The ignorance of the average medi-
cal man OF phsycology and psychiatry
is painful. Every such hospital should
be live optimistic center for study
and not pen for the lingering care
of the hopeless or semi-hopeless. We
cannot think Of medical education in
the future without bringing the stiIu-
lus of the student to all such hospitals
and likewise bringing one such hosp:-i
tai into the closest Of contract with
every medical school"
