New Ruling For
Firms Who Sell
By Mail c. 0. D.

An important decision regarding
income returns of California mail
order houses and merchants who
sell goods G. O. ID. by mail, was re-
ccived from Washington yesterday
by Collector Rex Goodcell.
The ruling holds that under. the

from sales for any taxable year,
should be included in the closing
inventory. The postage on ship
ments included in the closing inven-
tory is deductible only in the year
it is paid.
Another ruling which was asked
for by California amusement mama
gers who rent ponies to children,
was also received from Washington
by Collector Goodcell.
The decsiion holds that a fenced
in area where charge is made for
the use of ponies for amusement
purposes, but where no instruction
in horsemanship is given, is not Il

BRING BIG REVENUE TO VALLEY

,condition. 1t is estimated in the
neighborhood of 100000 bales will
be ginned from the combined acre
age on both sides of the line.
Commissioner Harrigan also told
something. of the splendid work be-
ing done at the quarantine station
at Fort Yuma, where three men are
stationed to give "a hour inspec-
tion service. As is generally known,
it is the freedom of this district
from such pests as the cotton boil
weevil and the pink boil worm,
which makes it such splendid cot
ton growing territory.
This enviable condition can only
be maintained by practicing the
utmost vigilance in excluding from
this section. any carriers of the
pests. The quarantine station has
seized many pillows and homemade
mattresses which were made of raw
cotton containing the seeds, and
thereby eliminated one phase of
the menace, which has proved SO
financially disastrous in many
southern states. One of the inspect
ors at this station is paid by the
Colorado River Land Company
whose large holdings in Baja Cal
iformia made them feel justified in
using every safeguard. The other
two are government employees.

i. S. Cotton Crop
Report Surprise,
3rd Short Year

The report of the government
issued on August 81 stating the
condition Of the cotton crop to be
SAL was a surprise, as a higher av-
erage condition was expected. The
indications now are for only a
10,7sS,000 bale crop, or 100000 less
bales than a month ago.
The present condition is o. be
low the ten-year average. This is
the third successive year for a short
crop. Last year it was 9,76l, 90
bales, and the preceding year
7,953,000 bales. The. Dry Goods
Economist reports that the takings
of spinners are below last year.
Speculative buying of finished
cotton goods is looked for, since
goods are under-priced. For exam
pie, the price of percales recently
was reduced three cents a yard.
1t is estimated that over a mil
lion pieces of cotton goods changed
hands on the afternoon following
the crop report. In New Bedford,
the price of staple cotton advanced
one cent a pound.
The National City Bank of New
York has granted credit of $6,00O,-

Growers Cooperative Association,
