CROP PROGRESS IN ARIZONA

Farming operations have been somewhat delayed by recent rains, but on the whole benefit has accrued to crops, particularly to late planted let tuce which has made considerable progress. Very little cotton has been brought in during the last few days owing to bad roads and muddy fields but with return of good weather cot ton picking for the season will soon be completed as there remains only about 2 per cent unpicked in the Salt River valley. With dry weather olive picking will be resumed. Alfalfa is growing nicely in the Yuma section where the ground is still too wet to work.

FILE INCOME TAX EARLY AND NOTE IMPORTANT CHANGES

File your income tax returns early! This is the arvice of the inter revenue bureau at Washington, in announcing that returns may be submitted be- tween January l and March 15, 1922.
 A new and important provision of the revenue act of 1921 is that every person whose gross income for 1921 was $5,000 or more shall file a re- turn, regardless of the amunt of net income upon which the tax is assessed.
 Returns are required from each sim gle person whose net in come was $1,- 900 or more, and every married per- son living with husband or wife whose net income was $2,0OO or more. Wid- ows and widowers and persons sep arated or divorced from husband or wife or regarded as single persons.
 Net income is defined by the revenue department as gross income, less cer- tain deductions for business expenses, losses and taxes. Gross income in cludes practically all income received by the taxpayer during the year. In the case of the wage-earner, this means salaries, wages, bonuses and commissions; in the case of profess sional men, all amounts received for professional services; in the case of farmers, all receipts from the sale of farm products, and rental or sale of land.
 F. w. Howbert, collector of cus- toms for the Colorado district, gives the following list of questions for each taxpayer to answer to determine the facts to be included in the income tax return:
 What were your profits from youl business, trade, profession or voca- tion?s
 Did you receive any interest on bank deposits?
 Have you any property from which you received rent? Did you receive any income in the form of dividend or interest iron stocks or bonds? Did you receive any bonuses dur. ing the year?
 Did you make any profit on the sale of stocks, bonds, or other property real or personal? Did you act as a broker in any transaction from which you received commissions
 Are you interested in any partner. ship or other firm from which you received any income?
 Have you any income from royal ties or patents?
 Have you any minor children whc are working?
 Do you appropriate or have tn, right to appropriate, the earnings o1 such children? If so, the amount must be included in the return of in. come.
 Has your wife any income from any source whatsoever? If so, it must bt included in your return or reported 1T a separate return of income. Did you receive any directors fee: or trustees fees in the course of tht year?
 | Do you hold any office in benefit society from which you receive in come?
 Answers to all these questions are necessary to determine whether per. son has an income sufficiently large to require that a return be filed, and may be the means of avoiding the heavy penalties imposed for failure to do so within the time prescribed.

In order to prevent as far as pos
sible the occurrence of forest and /
grass fires and eliminate the damage
they might cause during the autumn
season, the Pennsylvania System has
ployes a list of standing rules with
just called to the attention of all en-
which they are supposed to be famil-
lar. Owing to the presence of dry
leaves on the ground fires are more
likely to occur at this season of the
year than in summer, when the foliage
is green and damp, or in the winter
when snow covers the ground. The
stringent measures adopted by ne
Pennsylvania System is to restrict
losses from this cause along it's H.
600 miles of line include the follow
ing: Supervisors shall have all vege-
tative debris on the right of way re-
moved each autumn as soon as the
material is dry enough and weather
conditions are favorable. Wherever
desirable, and the consent of the ad-
jacent property can be obtained, the
removal Of hazardous vegetation
should be extend far enough to ell
inmate all risk of fire. Supervisors
shall notify the nearest state forest
fire warden when large fires occur on
land not owned by the railroad. Track
men shall burn old ties and other de-
bris at such times and in such places
as will not result in any uncontrolled
spread of the fire. They shall also
promptly extinguish all fires which
start on or near the right of way and
render all possible assistance in fight
ing fires whether on or off railroad
property. Enginemen and firemer
shall use every precaution to prevent
burning waste, hot cinders, or an!
other infamable material being thrown
or dropped from locomotives or trains
Operators shall transmit withou
charge, as railroad business over rail
road lines, all messages relating t,
forest fires which are on or near o
likely to affect railroad property.
