The Farmers Income Tax.

Thousands of farmers whose net
income for 1920 equaled or exceeded
the exemptions of $1,000 for single
persons and $4,000 for married per-
sons will be required to file on or be-
for March Is, 1921, income tax re-
turns for the year 1920.
AS an aid to farmers the Bureau
of Internal Revenue has prepared a
special form, 1040F, for recording
sales of live stock, produce. and a
summary of income and expenses.
This form should be attached to the
taxpayers individual return on Form
1910 or 1O4OA. Full instructions
for making out the forms are con-
tanned in each.
Under gross income 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 exchang-
es his produce for grocery, clothing
or other merchandise he must IN
clude in his income the value OF the
articles received and exchanged.
Profit received from the sale of farm
land or rent received for The use
thereof must also be included
In determining his net income,
upon which the tax is assessed, the
farmer may deduct all necessary ex-
penses incurred in the operation OF
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
other than the dwelling and to feLc-
es and machinery. The cost OF farm
tools used up in the course CT the
year, wages paid to employees other
than domestic servants, aud rent
Maid for farm land and buildings
(other than dwelling) are deductible
items.
Farmers who keep no records or
only records of cash receipts ana
disbursements should make their re-
turns on the basis of actual receipts,
but farmers who keep complete &C
counts and who take inventories at
the beginning and end of the year
to determine their profits should re-
port on the accrual basis. Both
methods are fully explained on Form
1O4OF, copies of which pay be OBJ
tanned from the offices of collectors
of internal revenue.

Tax-Dodging Millionaires.

The year 1918 was the banner
year in the United States for the
production of millionaires. That
was the year of big war contracts,
of the Hog Island deal, of the sale
and lease of camp sites, of tine crea-
ton of new towns through war III
dustries, and of similar transactions.
Yet, in spite of this fact, income
tax returns for 1918 show that there
were SPAS fewer persons paying on
millionaire's income than in the
previous year. How did this
happen? 1ne New York Times ok
plains as follows in its issue OF
November 81:
Millionaires know how to pay their
taxes in strict accordance to the law,
and in such manner that they do not
pay too much in punishment for
their wealth according to lawful
standards. BY putting their money
in exempt securities provided for the
purpose they keep their income in
tact, but also divert their wealth
from more remunerative invest
ments.
In other words, the income tax
law bears lightly on millionaire, al
though supposed to bear heavily
upon them. There is nothing sur
prising about this. All efforts to levy
taxes according to ability to pay
must turn out that way. One would
think that for that reason alone
legislators and people should long
ago have decided to follow some
other rule. More millionaires would
be reached by abandoning the in
come tax and similar taxes and levy
ing all taxation on land values
That would reach the unearned in
come at it's source. The millionaire
might invest in stocks, bonds OF
other securities, but these have no
value except what is given them by
the property which they represent
In most cases this property is land
and by taxing the value of this land
the securities based upon it will be
taxed. Such a tax cannot be evaded
or shifted. That this is known to
millionaire taxdodgers is clear
enough from the opposition of the
papers they control to single tax
measures whenever proposed. When
it comes to choice between the in
come tax and a land value tax the
recipient of unearned incomes who
wants his privilege to continue is
sure to prefer the former. He

Soil Testing.

Impressed with the large number Of
farmers who pro6ted by last years soil
te sting campaign the Soil Department Of
the University of Maryland Exp ,riment
Station is planning for another campaign
to be launched within the next few months
probably Turing the spring blowing sea
son when soil sample will be easy to
secure. Since February 2. 1920. when
the soil testing camgaign was inaugural
ed. more than 500 farmers have sent sam
pies of soil from approximately I.6eo
fields which have been tested for lime re-
quirements 10 the Experiment Station
laboratory. In addition to this. many
5 ills have been tested by County Agents
who are equipped with testing apparatus.
| Owing to the fact that there is a great
variation in the amount of lime needed on
diff .rent farms in different sections of the
State. it is estimated that farmers last
year were saved thousands Of dollars and
benefited greatly through improved soil
conditions as a result of the soil tests.
1t is only through the test that the exact
mum Der of pounds or bushels of lime per
acre can be determined.
The soil testing work at the Experiment
Station is in charge of DR.. A G. Mccall
and Professor I'M. Smith DR.. Mccall
believer that lime is the way to soil i'm
provement and fu ther that the soil is the
foundation of all farming. its fertility pre-
serving and coatro ling he prosp r'ty of
the farm. 1.-The soil Department and the
Extension Service. through the County
Agents. are willing at any time to test
samples OF soil. "said DIR. Mccall" from
auy farm in the State snd the amount of
lime needed to correct the acidity or sour
ness of his soil should be ma tier OF vital
interest to every 'a'mer."
