SPECIAL FORM
FARMERS TAX
Internal Revenue Bureau Makes II
Easier For Farmers To Fill
Out Income Tax.

Thousands of farmers whose net
income for 1920 equaled or exceed
ed the exemptions of $1,000 for sin
gle persons and $4,000 for married
persons will be required to file on
or before March Is, 1921, income
tax returns for the year 1920.
AS an aid to farmers the Bureau
of Internal Revenue has prepared
a special form. 1040F, for recording
sales of livestock, produce, and a
summary of income and expenses
This form should be attached to the
taxpayers individual return on form
1040 or 1040A. Full instructions for
making out the forms are contained
in each.
Under gross income a farmer is
required to include all proceeds de
rived from the sale of farm products
whether produced on a farm or pur-
chased for resale. When he eX-
changes his produce for groceries,
clothing or other merchandise he
must include in his income the value
of the articles received and exchang-
ed. Profit received from the sale OF
farm land or rent received for the
use thereof must also be included
Net Income.
In determining his net income
upon which the tax is assessed, the
farmer may deduct all necessary ex
penses incurred in the operation oil
his farm during the year. These in
clude cost of cultivation, harvesting
and marketing of his crops, the cost
of seed and fertilizer used, amount
spent in repair to farm buildings 9th
er than the dwelling, and to fences
and machinery. The cost of farm
tools used up in the course of the
year, wages paid to employees Other
than domestic servants, and rent paid
for farm land and buildings (othel
than dwelling) are deductible items
Farmers who keep no records OIL
only records of cash receipts an6
disbursements should make their re
turns on the basis of actual receipts
but farmers who keep complete ac
counts and who take inventories a
| the beginning and end of the yea
TO determine their profits should re
| port on the accural basis. Botf
| methods are fully explained on form

nine CENTS FOR
MURRAY WEED
Very Nice Leaf Brings High AS %
Cents; Some Selling IS Cents;
Average 9:24.
(By w. 3. Kennedy

The weather for the past week has
been unfavorable for the movement
OF loose tobacco and the sales on
have been very light. However there
have been small offerings in Paduach
for the past several days over the
loose floor. The quality of the offer
ings were very poor and prices about
the same as last week.
AT Murray they had a loose floor
sale on Tuesday the 18th, of about
$4,000 pounds of about such quail
ity as the crop will average. There
was a sprinkle of very nice leaf in
the lot that sold at 20 to 81 cents,
and quite a good deal selling at 12
to Is cents, but the. common end
brought the average price down very
materially. The average for leaf
being 1924 and lugs $2.10. Farm
ers seemed very well pleased with
the prices for the better grades, but
were disappointed in prices for the
common. This seems to be the case
over the country and no doubt farm
ers who have common tobacco will
remain Indifferent and slow in bring
ing it to market On the other hand
prices for better grades are pleasing
and no doubt when weather condit-
ions are favorable we will see lar
ger percent of better grades sell
ing.
The very unfavorable weather con-
ditions during the entire season has
kept farmers from getting their to-
bacco stripped and ready for market,
but with favorable weather we think
they will go along preparing their
crop for market whether they sell
early or not.
We hear of very little preparation
being made for the 1921 crop. Far
mers seem Indifferent about planting
and no doubt the acreage will be
materially cut, and we hope they
see the importance of making better
quality and will not over crop them,
selves as they have been doing for
the past several years.
1t is impossible at this time to
give good idea of prices or the
quality of the crop. We know the
greater part of it is very common
and nondescript, and prices for this
| kind are very low. On the Other
| hand we think there is fair per
cent of better stock and the prices
for this kind we think will continue
good, but the difference in value be
tween the good and common are
greater than we ever saw them be
fore, and the gap should close some
what between them, but what prices
may be later on remains to be seen

FINAL REPORTS
INTERESTING ON
PHYSICAL EXAMS
Only Thirty-Four Students In City
Schools Develop To Be Hun
dred Percent Fit.
ONLY THREE IN THOUSAND
WITH DEFECTIVE CHESTS
Medical Inspection Has Proven OF
Material Benefit Along Health
Precautions.

OF the one thousand children In
the city schools, who underwent the
recent medical inspection, only thir
ty-four perfectly normal healthy chill
dren were found by the local physi
clans, who gave the examinations
and filled out the health cards, which
and returned to the parents, where
ever treatment was suggested.
These thirty-four perfect speci
mems" range from the ages of six
to fourteen, and average about e
qually between sexes.
Final tabulations and comparisons
of statistics based on the general in
spection of the youngsters by the
doctors, disclose many interesting
some startling, and a number OF
facts, that should prove highly val
liable to parents. and teachers in
safeguarding the childhood health
of the community, hence adding tc
individual child betterment and gen
eral school efficiency.
The eight hundred and thirty-two
children of the one thousand exam
ined, for instance, who We're found
with defective teeth, should be Civ
en- immediate and thorough treat
ment. So many diseases of today
are traced to bad teeth that neglect
of the teeth and mouth is little
short of homicide. Tooth brush
drills in the schools might be bene
fetal.
Other inspection figures show thai
ia children were found with de
fective sight; As with defective ears
have diseased scalps; IA, diseased
skin.
Twenty-three and one-third percent
or 233 were discovered to have dis
eased tonsile, and one third percent
or 173, have adenoids. No chile
who has adenoids can be expected
to accomplish efficient school work
Six children We're reported to have
incorrect posture, sitting and standing
and two, who have actual curvature
of the spine.
Further findings of the doctors ir
their general survey, indicated thai
only three in the one thousand haC
weak chests; only six, heart trouble
only four, defective feet seven, cho
rea; and six, impaired digestion.
A tabulation that should be oi
concern to charity workers If not tt
fond mothers, who are not preparing
wholesome food for their children
is that thirty-one youngsters in the
city schools are suffering from ma
nutrition.
1t is now being planned to have
another medical inspection of the
schools in April, because it is only
by periodic examinations, compari
sons, ETC., that the best results from
the statistics can be obtained.
Physicians and dentists of the
town gave their services free for the
first inspection, which was thoroughly
and systematically accomplished.

relation to gastrointestinal and chest
diseases, the City Hospital affording
splendid opportunity in this line of
surgery and in the reading and in

A new merchandise freight ship
ping arrangement has been made by
the L. & N. railroad effective Febru-
airy 1st. A special package car for
Paris merchants will be put on train
No. 122 leaving Memphis every night
at eight o'clock and reaching Paris
before six O'Clock in the morning.
Heretofore this car has been set out
at Mckenzie and worked into Paris
the next afternoon.
Package shipments for Paris can
now be delivered the Memphis
freight house as late as 4 o'clock in
the afternoon, and will be here and
on sale at store-opening time the
next morning. This means, too, that
the shipments will be in perfect con-
dition as there will be no rehandling
in transit--a solid car for Paris. In
brief, it means a day earlier delivery
here. and will be quite an improve
ment in the handling of produce,
fruit, and other perishables.

might RIDERS
ACTIVE AGAIN
Visit Farmers And Warn Them OF
Burning In Cast of Planting
New Tobacco.

Fifteen farmers in Bath and Flem-
ing counties Kentucky, were visited
and warned last Saturday night that
the selling of their tobacco crop or
the planting of new crop this year
would result in the burning of their
barns and destruction of other prop
erty.
The warnings followed the recent
closing of the annual hurley tobac-
co markets, at which unusually low
prices were offered for their leaf.
The band operating Saturday night
consisted of twenty-five or thirty
masked men and visited farmers near
Sherbourne, in Fleming county, IL
miles from Flemingsburg, and Bethel
in Bath county, twelve miles from
Carlisle.
T. S. Robinson, wealthy farmer
near Bethel, was called to his door
at 1890 o'clock, according to a report
from Carlisle. Four men standing
with their backs to him warned him
that he was not to haul any more
tobacco, neither was he to rent any
of his farms for tobacco raising nor
raise any himself.
The warning was accompanied by
threats of violence, to himself and
his property if he failed to obey.
Thomas Croath, Jake Boyd and q
farmer named Stevens were then
visited and the warning repeated.
The band next showed up near
Sherbourne in Fleming County, and
warned two farmers named Shields
and Tomlin. They are known to
have visited three other farmers, but
when the occupants came to the door
they laughed and said they were
looking for a doctor.

was the board of directors of the
Henry County Marketing Association.
The attendance was good, d. f.

This was business meeting thru
out. One important point after an

vice-president to succeed Mr. ]. L.
Stewart Messrs. II. d. Summerford,
r. H. Webb, c. M. Freeman, and DIR.
Chas w. Rodgers, were elected di-
rectors.
The aims and objects of the As
sociation We're outlined as putting
the farmers livestock on the market
at the least possible expense, and
affording medium of exchange
among farmers for stocker and feed
er pigs and cattle. To this end
the County Agent was authorized
to prepare a large book in which
livestock and other farm products
for exchange would be listed
The official title of the Associa-
ton was changed from the Henry
County Marketing Association to the
Livestock Shipping Association:
The directors will be furnished the
market quotations so that the farm
ers can call on them and get the
market with the least possible trou-
BILE.
The volume of business handled by
the Association has been great
aid in getting service from the COM
mission men on the markets. The
more business we have the better
attention we get SO it behooves
every farmer to support the Associa-
ton and help the organization to get
better prices for the livestock pro-
ducers.
A committee was appointed to au-
dit the books. Their report will be
published in a later issue of this pa
per.
The next shipping date is Saturday,
February 5th. Hogs and cattle
will be shipped. Call up and con-
sign your stock before you bring

There is a good demand for feed
er pigs. We can get good money
for load of pigs weighing from so
to 100 pounds any time. Come in
and talk the matter over with the
officials at the County Council Office
before you sell your pigs. This
might save you a dollar a hundred
or better on your bunch of pigs.
