WILL YOU SPRAY THIS YEAR,

Now is the time to make arrange
ments if you are figuring on spray
ing this year. In 10 orchards where
demonstrations were conducted last
year, the sprayed trees averaged $40
bushels fruit, practically all first
class, while the unsprayed trees were
only 81 and small precent sound.
The spraying can be easily solved
by the organization Of spray rings.
Where there are several orchards to-
gether small hand outfit will do
the work. If for not over 20 trees an
outfit of this kind would cost about
$50. When there are over 200 trees
in the ring a power outfit should be
used which will handle up to 1900
trees, costing from 1920 to $500. Lime
sulphur and arsenic of lead are the
most common sprays used, which will
get all the biting and sucking insects
as we'll as oyster scale, San Jose and
scurf. You need, for trees from Is
to rs years old, half as many gallons
or pounds of arsenic of lead as there
are trees in the orchard. We can help
you out in organizing spraying ring
and applying material and will give
pruning demonstrations at any time.

SHAVE LUMBER PRIZES REACHED
THE BOTTOM!" DO vol THINK
NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO BUY
LUMBER!-

These and similar questions are
asked us daily and our answe" is
YES
In spite of the urgent need through
out the entire country Of new homes,
school houses and buildings of every
character, the general decline during
the past five months has carried lum-
Der prices to such low level that s
per cent. of the lumber mills have
been compelled to shut down. They
simply cannot manufacture lumber
and deliver the material into this sec
ton of the country at the prices now
prevailing.
Remember that a large portion of
the cost Of lumber is represented by
freight charges; all will concede that
we cannot expect any decline in
freight rates. Even a decided low
ering Of manufacturing costs will
not make it possible for the mills to
supply lumber at today's market. Pro-

GET AN INVENTORY BASIS THIS
YEAR.

Recent income tax rulings enables
farmers to change to inventory basis.
Among many things done by the Farm
Bureau was their part in helping the
American Farm Bureau Federation in
bringing about system of uniform ac-
counting to be used by the farmers
in making out their income tax re-
ports. This committee took the matter
up with the treasury department and
pointed out that cash basis OF re-
porting incomes was unjust in many
cases, as follows: When the farmer
marketed several crops in the same
year on a cash basis he would only
be allowed to deduct the cost OF rails

ing one crop and may be compelled
to pay surtax because of this. al
though in the succeeding year he did
not make enough to get advantage of
his personal exemption. Where the
farmer buys stock in small punches,
feeds them various lengths of time
and sells them in CARROTS. 1t is diff
cult, If not impossible, to find the
unit cost Of any car load sold, or to
figure up the years business on the
cash basis because the transactions
cover several years and several trans
actions are mixed up with each other.
Where crop and animals on hand rep
resent an accumulation and an in
crease for a number of years of a
farmer whose annual taxable income
is less than hi sexemption. Should this
farmer hold public sale, he will be
compelled to pay tax although all of
his stock was raised at time when
his income was less than his per-
sonal exemption.
This committee asked the Treasury
Department to allow a farmer to
change from cash to an inventory
basis provided he make out an adj
Justment sheet for 1917 and each
succeeding year based on the farm
price inventory method and paving
tax on such adjustment at the rate
for the respective years.
Authority-On December 27. 1920
the Bureau of Internal Revenue ruled
as follows Article 1885 A Inventor
les OF live stock raisers and other
farmers): Farmers may change their
basis of their returns from that Of
receipts and disbursements to that of
an inventory basis, which necessi-
tates the use Of opening and closing
inventories for the year in which the
change Is made. 1t is impossible for
farmers to report on an inventory
basis by submitting an adjustment
sheet which permits estimates uf
definite figures are not available) by
going back to the beginning of 1917
and reporting from that date in place
OF 1913. The 1920 report can be made
without the thirty day notice to the
department of desired change If an
adjustment sheet is used. The inven-
tory method is the cheapest in the
long run. BY using the Farm Record
Book" and properly transferring the
totals to a summary sheet which is
provided in this book, the farmer has
a report on his farm business ready
to present to the deputy collector.
Advantage-The farmer whose in
come Is high some years and low
others, should change to the inven-
tory method at once. Here is an actual
case OF farmers income figured for
1917, IS, 10, first on cash and second
on an inventory basis:
