State College Agricultural Fxten-
sion Report.

Brookings, S D.: Most South Da-
kota farms are showing losses this
year, and there is not much concern
about income taxes However, one
point is generally overlooked, sug.
gests M. R. Benedict, farm manage.
ment expert in the State college ex-
tension division That is that this
is very favorable time for farmers
to change to the inventory plan of
reporting.
Most farmers, have been reporting
their incomes on the cash basic, q
plsp which is used by very few other
businesses. The cash basis does not
show the true farm profit, and usual.
ly farmer will pay more income
tax over period of years than he
will on the inventory plan. For ex-
ample, rancher may buy bunch
ST steers, feed them for two years,
and then sell at $4,000 increase
ever the cost price. Under the cash
plan, this will all be reported as
profit for the year of sale, and he
will have tax of $3.50. Under the
inventory plan. this will be divided
and figured as an income Ct around
Sc. 600 for each of two years. which
will result in total tax for the two
years Of $3.50, or $270 less than if
figured on the cash basis. Both
methods of reporting are legally cor.
rect.
When change from the cash ba-
ais to the inventory basis is made,
the livestock and crops accumulated
since 1915 must be reported as in
come in the year of change. There.
fore. it is best to make this change
in year when the farm is taking a
loss rather than in year Of large
profits. This is not tax lodging. It
is simply putting farming onto the
same basis that other business con.
! Germs use.
T1is whole matter has been great
ly eimplified by the new farm bureau
; account book which is being gut out
5y State college. This buck may D..
used in making report either on ,he
cash basis or on the inventory basis,
an1 provides blank which NAV ne
used in place of Form 1O4O F of the
income tax return. These books may

Menno Herald: Christian Aisenbrey
received y letter Monday from cou.
Gin in Stuttgart, Germany, which stat
ed that the crop in that country was
good and the farmers wele making
money. With good crop and high
prices. the farmers had frat paid all
their debts and then began TO pile ne
money. The people in the cities and
towns wers tina ones who must suffer
from the high prices of all farm pro-
ducts which thsy must buy, in order
to live. Wine and such drinks are
very high, but the orchards produced
we'll and many people are shrinking
cider. Because trade is not properly
opened up between Germany and other
countries, not enough supplies 60 into
that country, so the people in the big
cities are the greatest sufferers. This
naturally makes what farmers produce
in Germany very high and that class
is doing the best. .

Organization along thes 9 lines has

at Watertown last June. attended by

This organization is called ''The

From present indications the legis-
lators this year will have to sharpen
up their pairing knives. It is said
that the state institutions alone will
ask for ten million dollars, almost
double the total amount ordinarily
raised by state taxes, and this il
only one of the many demands that
will be made. Just how much of the
amounts requested will get past the
budget committee is not yet known.
The pushers for the hydro-electric
power plant sre insisting that they
are not asking for cent of appropri-
alton. They only ask the state to
give credit for the bonds, and claim
that the revenues from the plan. will
pay the running expenses and event.
ually redeem the bonds This is good
promotion argument, but it isn't
borne out by experience. 1t would
tahe two or three years to get the
plant running. and in the mean time

pay. The initial expense, as esti-
mated by the engineers, would be
from sixteen to twenty million dol
lars, and the most optomistic predic-.
tions of the engineers are that it,
would take ten years, with an annual
increase in consumption of current of
ten per cent. based upon the total.
amount of current now used in the
state, to make the plant self sustain
ing. Conceding that this increase
could be secured, which would be
phencminal in purely farming state,
this would leave deficiency for the
state to pay for at EAST ten years.
No individual would make such an in.
vestment without first getting guar.
antics for the sale of a reasonable
amount Of current in advance, but
enterprises engineered by politics are
seldom run on business principles
