INCOME TAX EXEMPTIONS

Single persons, though required to
file a return if their net income for
1920 was 81 900 or more, are, if they
are the heads of families, granted a
special exemption under the revenue
laws. Such Il person is defined by
treasury regulations as "a person who
actually supports and maintains IN
II household n or more individuals
who are closely connected with him by
blood relationship. relationship by
marriage or by adoption, and whose
right to exercise family control and
provide for these dependent indiVid-
uals is based upon some moral or legal
obligation" Such persons are allowed
the exemption of $4,000 granted a mar
ried person. In addition, they are al
lowed a credit of 5000 for each de-
pendent under Is years of age or in
capable of se%lf-support because men
tally or physically defective.
A married person living with hus-
band and wife cannot claim an add
tional 1000 exemption as the head Of
a family. His or her exemption is
based upon the martial status, ire
spective of the support OF others living
in the same household. The additional
5000 credit for dependents does not
apply to the husband or wife, of a tax
payer. For example, if a married man
supports a father who is incapable Of
%self-support, he is entitled to the 5000
credit for such person. If through
force Of circumstances he supports his
wife away from home he is entitled to
the $4,000 exemption allowed a mar
ried person, but not to a 5000 credit
for a dependent.
A son who has left home but who
sends his mother more than one-half
the sum required for her support is
entitled to the 5000 credit, provided
the mother can nOt support herself.
Otherwise, the amount must be CON
sidered as a gift, and, therefore, the
credit is not allowed. A son living at
home and supporting his father,
mother, or other relative may claim
the $4,000 exemption allowed the head
Of a family, but not the 5000 credit
unless such relative Is under Is years
of age or incapable of self-support.

Miss Sadie Anderson, county nurse,
visited the local school on Monday
and Tuesday and examined the chill
dren of the lower rooms. Miss Ander-
son states that she found a number
of cases of bad eyes and bad teeth
and advised that the parents OF these
children have these defects attended
to as oOn as possible as tie troubles
become more serious as the pupil
grows older. Miss Anderson is a grad
uate of the Fairyiew hospital at Min
neapolis and has done a vast amount
Of work since she became county
nurse of Brookings county. She prac-
tically completed visiting the rural
schools before the holidays and after
she completes the examination OF the
city and town schools she will have
a little more time at her disposal.
She is ready at all times, however, to
give advice and assistance to teachers
and parents and all can feel free to
call upon her relative to the vel
fare of the children in the public
schools. She is a mighty active young
lady, full of pep. and the Red Cross
organization was indeed fortunate in
securing her services. Before taking
up training she was a school teacher
and her experience in that line Of en-
deavor is very valuable to her at this
time. If the suggestions and advice
of Miss Anderson are followed the
pupils of the Brookings county schools
will be better equipped than ever to
carry on their school work.

OUTSTANDING PROBLEM

Anyone who has followed a bushel
The planting of the seed until it
reaches the hands of the ultimate con-
sumner, is impressed with the fact that
the one outstanding problem of agri-
culture is not increased production
but that of increased efficiency in
the marketing of things produced. We
are an exporting nation, and SO long
as we continue to be such the prob
lem Of production is not pressing.
Production will take care of itself if
a system of marketing is devised
which assures a reasonable profit upon
the investment to the farmer" Thus
spoke Congressman A. f. Lever of
South Carolina before the recent con
v~ention of the American Farm Bureau
federation.
He said further that 1.-The present
lack of a system of marketing, or
more accurately the lack of a system
for financing marketing, forces rs per
cent of agricultural productions upon
the market in four months, with the
resultant autumnal dip in farm prices.
An orderly system Of marketing would
carry the distribution period over II
months. This can not be accomplished
under the present credit machinery.
DO not forget that the federal reserve
act is essentially for commerce and
industry and must deal in quick ma
turing paper. What we want, and
must have, is a piece of credit ma
chinery peculiarly adapted to the
handling of paper with a maturity
which synchroniZes the period of
growth and distribution.
"Do not forget that rural condi-
tiOns must be made measurably as
pleasant as city conditions and that
the profits Of agriculture must be made
measurably Is large upon the invest
ment as on city investments IL we
are to build up that ideal country life,
happy and contented, conservative in
its thinking, always patriotic and the
ultimate and final bulwark OF republi-
can institutions in this country"

Every time you see an old maid you
turn green with envy, and you have
told me a million times that a woman
sacrifices her liberty and independ-
ence the minute she inveigles a man
to the altar, and ows to love, cherish
and protect him. You have said in my
presence that the spinster is the only
woman who is her own boss.
ut doesn't take the ingenuity Of a
Sherlock Holmes to deduce from your
remarks that you consider matrimOny
q total loss. Why, then, Mrs. James
worthy, are you forever trying to be-
guile your friends into hat condition

through your ring generalship, and
they found that each had drawn a gold
brick, they would hate you as long
as they lived, and would always speak
of you as an old busybody with a nose

they'd make faces at you whenever
you met them on the street.

sibility when you try to boom the or

occur to you, at such times, that you

snow, Just consider Sarah Jane Fa-
vorite and Charles Augustus Terwil-
altar If you have your way. l admit
that they make q handsome pair.
Sarah is a blonde with a pug nose,
and Charles Augustus Is a brunette
with a nose like a Roman senator.
They afford a pleasing contrast. But
appearances count for little, Mrs.
Jamesworthy, when the real business
of married life begins.
Sarah has basked in the lap Of lux
ury all her days, and she has the idea
that money grows on vines like Gu

CHANGE METHOD WITH PROFIT

There is no good reason why farm
ers should report their incomes for
taxation purposes on a basis different
than that used by most other bust
nesses. However, most farmers have
been reporting on the cash basis, while
most other business concerns report
on what is known as the inventory or
accrual basis, says M. r. Benedict,
farm management expert in the State
college extension division.
The cash report so common for
farms usually involves the payment
of a higher tax for a given period of
years than would be the case or the
accrual plan which reflects the actual
farm profits. For example, a farmer
may sell, early in the year, h last
years crop amounting to, say $500,
and, before the end Of the year, may
sell the current years crop amounting
to another $500. This shows an in
come of $1,000 in n year and a tax
amounting to $500 to 500, according
to the amount of exemption, while this
$1,000 really represents the income
of two years. Figuring on the accrual
basis which puts the income in the
actual year Of production, the total
tax for the two years would be 5000
to $500.
This doubling up of income of two
or more years into n is very com
mon in the cattle business where il
is customary to grow out a bunch Of
cattle for two to three years before
selling them. 1t is very evident, there
fore, both from a business standpoint
and from an income tax standpoint,
that it will be desirable for farmers
to get their records onto the accrual
basiA At the time this change is
made, the accumulation of livestock
and crops since 1915 must be included
as income for the year in which the
change is made. Therefore, it is not
desirable to make the change in a
year in which the net farm income is
O. -, 90 th'o NOuit DiiO up ph h'iuuAJ
large income for that year.
On the other hand, the change can
in most cases be made in a year like
the present, when most farms show
a loss, without paying any more tax
than would have been the case if the
farmer reported on the accrual bas.s
from the start. Farmers who have
not so far reported may, of cOursc,
start right off on the accrual basis,
and it will be TO their interest to do
so. Losses will not occur in such a
widespread way when this period o..
reimbursement is over; so this is an
especially favorable time to make The
change.
Very convenient farm record book
for recording the farm business may
be secured through the county agents
The county agents will also be glad
to furnish advice and suggestions a.
to how to keep good practical farm
records.
