Of December, although there Is a linn
tied demand all the year.
Goose raising is not so extensively
engaged in as duck raising, the con-
dItions under which they can be sue
cessfully raised being almost entirely
different from those necessary for sue
eessful duck raising. The duck, be-
ing smaller, can be raised In a more
limited space than can the goose, the
latter needing free range and water.
while the former has been proved to
do well without water.
While the goose cannot probably
be raised In as large numbers as the
duck, still 1t cannot justly be termed
improbable. There are many places
on a farm that are worthless for cul-
tivation that could be utilized with ex-
eellent results for goose raising.
Fields that have streams, branches, or
unused springs on them could be
turned to good advantage by making
them into goose pastures. A goose on

Income Tax DISCREPANCIES.
The report estimates that the nums
Der OF persons In 1918 having incomes
over $1,000, was 100000, aud that
their total income was over % billion
dollars. Income tax returns, however,
showed only 2,90S.O00 persons having
over $1,000, and their total reported
Income was less than Ia billion dol
lars. This discrepancy is due In part
to technical evasions and straight iIle-
gal withholding, but also In part to
the existence of tax-exempt income.
What this means In terms of the i'm
come tax Is that the government re-
ceived IN 1913 about hair a billion dol
lars less than 1t would have. IL all
persons receiving $1,000 had paid their

New York, Oct. 2T.-The total ma
tional income of the United States In
1918 was 81 billion dollars, as com
pared with 34.4 billions In 1913; but
this increase In dollars did not repre-
sent q like inereasein production. Most
of IL was due to the rise In prices, for
the dollar OF 1918 and 1919 was much
less efficient dollar than that OF 1913.
The actual total Of commodities pro-
duced increased very little, IL at ali,
and large part Of those which were
produced were war materials, not of
a kind really benetiting consumers.
Consequently, individual incomes,
estimated on per capita basis, rising
from $340 In 10fO and 1854 In 1913,
20 1886 In 1918, represent more dollars
but little or no real increase, because
