, INCOME TAX NIGHT
AT THE CLUB

| al 1I1G OLOD
When you see man smiling and
stepping high down the street any
of these days, you can tab him as one
of those lucky fellows who have got
their Income Taxes figured out. OF
lcourse, it may be a new baby in the
| family, or raise of pay, or the moth
er-in-law has gone away, or any one
of the ordinary causes for grins. But
| the best bet is that his Income Tax
return Is filed.
Now that's just my case. Oh, boy!
but it's wonderful feeling!
1t all came about through Income
Tax Night at the club. remember
how we all groaned when somebody
suggested the idea. But after count
I ing the noses Of those who were hav.
ing Income Tax Troubles, 1t was dis
covered that we were 1907 In need
Of first aid. So we sent over to the
Internal Revenue Collector and ask
ed him to send man. Although up
to their eyes in work, the request
was granted and Income Tax night
was duly announced.
We expected dull evening, filled
with figures and legal technicalities.
Also, headaches. AS for myself, If it
were not for that Liberty Bond In
terest and the rent of my garage I'd
have stayed away.
Surprise number one was sprung
when a smiling stranger was usher
ed in and introduced as the Income
Tax man. He was just regular fell
low; nothing pompous, brow-beating
club-swinging, or ferocious about
him. He had tough job, we all
knew that; yet he could smile. So l
guess we all smiled back. You know
how it is when a million cubic yards
of gloom go sailing away.
Surprise number two came to us
as our visitor showed the logical Sc
quence of the blocks, spaces, lines
and questions on the Income Tax
form 1 had never stopped to think
about it, but the blank must be prac
teal for every kind of income and
every combination of income that
man might have. Most of the club
members had been calling the form
a hodge-podge.
Although salaried man myself,
/ was interested in the what's and
whyfores in figuring merchants in
come; also the accounting of manu>
facturer; and the way a professional
mans earnings were figured out.
Then our leading business men ask,
ed pointed questions, and the ans
wers our visitor gave smoothed away
their troubles.
Right down through the form the
Revenue man took us, step by step, |
until he had covered every item of
income that any of us might have
had Questions flew thick and fast; |
and as the answers came, we settled |
our many individual doubts

rent 1 got for my garage; also that

I did not own enough Liberty Bonds

I did not own enough Liberty Bonds
to make the interest taxable.
And after we got all through, we
had happy club. Every man pres
ent was ready to complete his In'
come Tax obligations. Best OF all we
knew what we were doing, and that
we were conforming to law.
Income Tax night at our club prov
ed to be a corker There's nothing
like getting together and doing
things right. l guess that's what
makes our town a fit place to live
in, and our country the greatest in
the world.
Oh, boy! I've filed my Income Tax
return today! I'll tell the world.

OPINIONS ARE VARIED

To ascertain the attitude of bank-
ers generally toward the action Of
the Federal Reserve Board in its ef-
forts to bring about defiation and to
force Liberty bonds out of the note
cases of bankers. the Manufacture
ers Record has >sent a letter of in
quiry to a number of leading bank
ers throughout the United States.
The answers received in some fn-
stances evince a doubt as to whetfier
the Federal Reserve Board really
means dehation of business. as in
terpreted bg a Baltimore banker re-
ferred to in the letter of inquiry.
Others accept this view and either
] oppose or defend il. The attempt
of the Federal Reserve Board to
force Liberty bonds into the strong-
! boxes Of big estates and institutions
is denounced by many as bad faith
by the government in its dealings
with the public, which was impor-
tuned to buy bonds It'll IL hurt"
Extracts from some Of the letters
are given herewith.
President ]. S. Alexander OF the
National Bank of Commerce in New

dustriaI depression. 1t is not a de-
preston we want, but rather a re.
adjustment"
F. II. Sisson. vice president of the
Z Guaranty Trust Company OF New
York. declares: THE question is not
one of too much. prosperity but Of
| an inflated and fictitious prosperity
IbuiIt on n false basis, which needs
! to be brought down to earth in order
to be made stable. 1t is sound n
nance for the government to ep-
deavor to force government bonds
out of the banks and into the hands
| of private holders. which is where
they ought to be-" ~
On the other hand, President Sa-
| bin of the same company is quoted
as saying: The credit situation. to
| be sure. is matter of concern, but
despite the stringency of credit, de-
spite labor unrest, we are still en-
joying unprecedented prosperity.
Fundamentally. economic conditions
in this country are sound.''
D. f. Waggoner, president of the
! Security National Bank of Dallas,
! Texas, says: IF you have quoted
correct the statement from one of
! the leading bankers of Baltimore. I
cannot, of course. agree with him.
l am of the opinion that he did not
/ intend to convey the idea that IL
would be good for any action to be
! taken by the Federal Reserve Board
that would tend to concentrate gov
eminent bonds in the hands OF large
| investors. IL so, our arguments
when We We're offering these bonds
! for sale were erroneous. We tried
to convey the idea to our people
that these bonds were absolutely
good and offered a means of invest
ing savings that had advantages
over the savings hanks. in that the
| bonds bore a greater interest, and.
of course, were absolutely good.

tracts are reported for berries at $a.5O
TO $8.75 a crate. which Is very high
price. National prohibition has caused
0 greater demand for fruit juices, and
has made these juices more active than
ever before In their influence In con-
tracing this crop. Returns the past
year, and prospective returns for the
next few years, are such us to war
rant growers 10 increase their acreage
slightly. Farmers who have not grown
strawberries in preceding years, but IT,
tend TO this year, and who face q pos
slbillty OF not being able TO secure la
Dor to harvest the crop, viii find 1t
more satisfactory 20 plant only a few
acres, so that the grower and his FAM
lily, and perhaps a limited amount OF
local help can properly harvest the
crop. Communities that have n num-
Der of farmers each planting only Il
few acres but in the aggregate plant
Ing 100 acres, will be able to form n
cooperative marketing association and
thus economically market the berries.

While the greatly reduced acreage i1
1919 gave an almost equal yield I'd
1913, the average cash TO. b. price foi
1910 was $4.9l for a "a quart crate.
compared with $3.1S received in 1913,
at which price The crop was worth coni
siderably mere than during the precedi
Ing year.
The year 1919 was exceptionally
profitable year for berry growers. StOi
tistics gathered In Tennessee berry
sections show the average profit pea
acre of the 1919 crop was $337 3a
which price is based on reports Of
actual sales made by growers In all
berry districts Of the State. The largf
est profit reported by any individual
was $825.60 per- acre, and the smalli
est profit was $780, The average yield
per acre OF these reporting was 81
crates per acre, the largest yield being
1G3 crates. and the smallest yield being
81 crates per acre.
Considering the above statistics. and
even making due allowance for tho
greatly increased cost of production.
II Is seen that there remains such 4
substantial net profit as should Gauss
many growers to plant strawberry
crop.
It Is possible that there win be q
slight increase In acreage this year,
but coincident, with this possibility,
there has already been an increased
demand fur copsusnias purposes. Gans

known before In The history OF the
couptry. Some idea of the decline In
acreage and production and ccnse-
quent effect In increasing the price can
be secured from the following figures
In the sixteen southern states produc-
Ing early Strawberries in large guam
titles, there were In 1916, 9SS2S acres
planted TO strawberries In 1917, $4,000
acres; 1918, 72,OOO acres, and in 1919,
1000 acres. From this total area, in
1910 there were shipped totul Of i3,-
300 cars, principally to northern con-
suming markets. In 1919. there were
shipped a total of 5000 cars, or 5000
cars less than in 1915. The average
car contains 450 crates OF twenty-four
quarts each. The price per quart In
1916 ranged from 4 cents to Is cents,
and In 1919, is cents to IS cents.
According to the bureau of markets
there were 1906 acres planted to
strawberries In Tennessee In 1918 and
6,430 acres In 1910. The average yield
per acre was estimated at So crates in
1918 and 80 crates In 1919. This gave
a tonnage Of 1.43s cars shipped from
Tennessee In i9lS. and 1,499 In 1910.

THINGS TO DO ON THE
FARM IN FEBRUARY

January seems to be the time best
for the farmer to mend broken spots
on his farm, from the house to the fur
therest fence enclosing his land. Hut
February comes and the real spring
work on the farm Is started. The gar
den and orchard need much careful at
tention at this time-trausplan toma-
toes, egg plant, pepper, etc, in the hot
Ded; set out early cabbage and lettuce
that have been hardened in cold
frames. In order to guard against
scale. spray the orchard with lime sui
phur, or soluble oil.
Late In February sow elOvers, and
grasses on wheat. Mix little alfalfa
and alsike clover with red clover; IL
the land Is firm. run the seed thru the
shoe Of a grain drill at the same time.
After dlscing the land well, sow or
chard grass In properly thlnned wood
lots.
This Ia the proper time TO lay In
what fertilizer will be needed. At pres
ent there Is great demand for acid
phosphate. and It would be wise to
place your order early TO "avold the
rush." Buy all fertilizers on the basis
OF plant feed Eather than gross weight.

tures In good weather. Give sews q
little corn. ground eats, hran and tank

see that they keep gaining. Visit your
flock once night during the heavy
lambing period.
1t seems February presents work to
be done all over the farm. The house
wife can make plans for the rear
rangement of housefurnishings when
spring cleaning days come. This IL
really an important matter, for 1t is
hard to believe how much better the
same old furniture viii look when
shifted into new positions In the room.
1t not only gives a room new appear
ance. which Is restful to the eye, but
1t often makes furniture wear longer
In exposing all parts TO the hardest
wear.
II all the mending has not been COM
pieted, Il should be finished by the enc
OF February. This IL a good time to
paint u wagon, oil anu repair the har-
ness, learn rope tying and belt iaclng,
and also put In supply Of fabrication
oil, bolts, rlvets. etc,
