INCOME TAX FACTS

The new requirement OF the in
come tax law that returns shall be
made of gross income of $1,000 or
more regardless OF the amount of
net income upon which the tax is
assessed, necessitates careful COM
putation on the part of the taxpayer.
Gross income" includes practically
every dollar received by the taxpayer
during the year 1921 in salaries,
wages, commissions, rents, royalties,
interest on bank deposits, cash div!
dends on stock, cor income from
any source whatsoever" met in
come" is gross income less certain
deductions provided for by the act,
including all business expenses in
ucrred in the conduct of business,
trade, profession, or vocation.
Certain expenditures, however,
are not deductible as a business ex-
pense when made for the purchase
of articles more or less permanent
In character, or for permanent i'm
provement of property. For exam
pie. a merchant would not be allow
ed to deduct the amount expended
in the erection of a new store, or a
farmer the cost of a new tractor or
thrashing machine, since such in
vestments are held to be capital in
vestments. The law expressly prohi-
bits the deduction of family or liv-
ing expenses, such as rent for a
dwelling, repairs to'a dwelling, cost
of food and clothing for the family,
education of children, servants
wages, and similar items. Amounts
spent during the year 1921 for any
of these items are not deductible.
Farmers, rangers, dairymen, truck
gardeners, vineyard and orchard
owners, and other food producers
must compute their net and gross
incomes for 1921 and ascertain
whether an income tax return, or a
tax, or both are due. All gains.
profits. and income derived from the
sale or exchange of farm products,
whether produced on the farm or
purchased and resold, must be in
cluded in gross income. When a
farmer exchanges his products for
groceries. clothing, or other mer-
chandise. the fair market value of
such goods must be included. Profit
received from the sale of farm land.
or rent received for the use thereof,
must be included.
In determining income, upon
which the tax is assessed. the farm
er may deduct from gross income all
necessary expenses incurred in the
operation of his farm during the
year 1921. These include cost OF
cultivation, harvesting. and market
ing of his crops, cost of feed and
fertilizer used. amount spent in re-
pairs to farm buildings (other than
the dwelling) ana to fences and ma
chinery. Wages paid to farm hands
are deductible. but not wages PAID
to domestic servant, which is a
personal expense.
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 which must be attached to
the individual return of income and
expenses.
An unmarried or widowed farmer
or one living apart from his wife
must file an individual return fol

Doubled Soy Acreage Is Probable As
Bean Popularity Increase

Bean Popularity Increase
Indications are that Kentucky
will grow about twice as many soy
beans in 1922 as were grown in
1921, according to soils and crops
specialists at the College of Agricul-
ture. The increased popularity of
and feed for livestock together with
a so per cent reduction in the price
of seed are held responsible for the
probable increase in acreage. Last
year, with seed as high as from four
to six dollars bushel, there was an
increase of 100 per cent over the
1920 acreage in the main producing
sections of the State, according to
the specialists.
Planting the beans in the same
row and at the same time with corn
has proved to be the most popular
method of growing them in Ken
lucky" Ralph Kenney, one of the
specialists said. I'm 1920, Hender-
son County farmers planted 1000
acres of beans i'm their corn while in
1921, they grew 5000 acres. Full
ton county had 5000 acres in 1920
which was increased to 10000 acres
in 1921. Ballard, McCracken and
Graves counties also had large ac-
reages.
Farmers in the mountain coun-
ties also have found that growing
the beans in corn is a profitable
practice whether the mixture is
hogged off. the corn picked and the
stalk fields grazed or the beans al
lowed to rot down for soil improve;
ment.
"Since only six pounds of seed
are required for an acre the cost
ranges from rs to 30 cents for an
acre. II this amount of seed is IN
d oculated. the average growth OF the
beans In the corn will take from
five to ten dollars worth OF nitrogen
from the air and add it to the soil
II the crop remains on the ground.
AT the present rate, farmers in
one-half the counties OF the State
soon will be planting three-fourths
OF their corn crop with the corn
and soybean mixture. as was the
case in Fulton county in 1921.
"The Mammoth Yellow variety
gives the greatest hay yield in Ken
lucky while the Haberlandt and
Lexington are at present most large
ly used for planting in corn. The
supply of seed in the State is large
enough to supply all Kentucky
growers this year"

The most useful garden is the
one that has a succession of crops
throughout the season. This plan
will necessitate several paintings of
early vegetables such as radishes,
onions and peas.
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1922-03-01

Save time and labor and keep
down the weeds easier this year by
planting the garden seeds in long
rows. This allows the use of a
wheel cultivator or even a horse
cultivator in some cases. Beds Of
lettuce. onions and radishes are out
of date.

: In making the contracts. the

Those who have not made out
their orders for garden seeds al

Enough seeds should be ordered
from some reliable seed house to

best seeds are cheapest in the end.

kill William Desmond Taylor in Holly

Sheriff Irving ]. Coffin late tonight
by Harry NJ. Fields, who declares he

The latest statement of Fields, who is

has been transmitted to Los Angeles
authorities and upon their success in
locating the weapon rests the decision
of local officers as to the veracity of
the prisoners assertions.
Fields also told the Sheriff tonight
that the man who paid him $500 for driv-
ing the automobile had changed a 81, ,O0C
bill at a Los Angeles bank on February
l, the day Taylor was killed. and an
effort will be made to verify this state
ment The money was received from
one of two men driven to Taylor
home, Fields said adding that they were
accompanied by woman.

There have been found instances, 1t is
understood. where the brokers did about
everything imaginable except buy or sell
stocks. Check books and account books
show payments for salaries Of clerks,
for the drawing accounts Of the part
ners for cigars to be handed to pros
pective customers. for rent for ticker
service and so on, bat not for the pur-
chase of securities. In some of the COM
plants the fact appears that a customer
gave a certain order. but there is moth
ing whatever on the record to show that
anything happened thereafter in con-
nection with that transaction.
Six persons have been taken into GUS
tody so far as a result of the bucket
shop complaints. Only one is out on bail.
This is the salesman for Franklin, Tay-
lor & Co., who was released on $500

two of them, it is believed. will be tried

Roundup Believed Near.

The trend of events in the Criminal
Courts Building indicates that sooner or
later there will be a roundup Of consid-
erable proportions. 1t has been folnd
that some of the cases are interviewer,
so that it Is unwise to apprehend an in
dicted man until the investigation into
what originally appeared to be an inde-
pendent complaint has been completed.
In some instances it appears the bucket
shops always do not act Independently.
but. as in the case of wash sales. two or
more act in concert.
Another feature which the examina-
ton of complaints has shown is that the
firm name means absolutely nothing at
all. One firm under investigation had
a title that sounded well but did not
have in it even one of the men suNr osed
to be interested. These men, said TO be
two brothers, are believed to have been
connected with other companies doing
much the same sort of business but with
q different clientele.
The office OF Jerome Simmons, As
sistant District Attorney. is literally
filled with account books and records
seized from the offices of firms that
have failed and are under Investigation.
The thorough examination of the books
is necessary in every case, especially il
bucketing is TO be proved. as it is neces-
sary TO show by the books that n GUS
toner's order WAS not carried out. 1t
Is the palnstaking examination of these
books which is delaying the presentation
Of some OF the cases to the Grand Jury.
