Making Living as An Object
for Farmers,

The farm may be at times the
means Of making of fortune and,
moro frequently, Of making a com
potency which renders old age in
dependent end gives the children a
start in life, but most frequently Of
al it is the means Of making a liv-
ing as he goes along for the farmer
ana MS family.
And if it IS looked at in this light
ut sometimes happens that the farm
er and his family get a better living
and enjoy the farm more than if it
IS treated as a business proposition
from start to finish.
If the farm is looked upon pri-
MARTY as a means Of making a living
rattle, than as one of making money
more attention is given to the pro-
duction of things to be consumed
on the farm and which make living
more worth while
The farmer with this ideal in view
does not neglect his garden or his
orchard. He keeps bees that he
may have honey, cures his own meat,
keeps a variety of poultry with more
thought for his own table than for
the market
When he thinks Of his farm as a
means Of making life comfortable
and pleasant for himself and his
family, he has regard for the corn
forts of his house and the beauty
Of its setting, gives due consideration
to shade trees and shrubs and is no;
too busy to have a lawn and 2
flower garden.
If the farmer and his family set
about seeing how comfortably and
happily they can live on the farm
they can achieve a great deal with
out handling any very large sums
in ready money. And, curiously
enough, it often turns out that the
man who makes comfortable living
on his farm the prime matter gets
along better financially in the enc
than the man who foregoes all of the
things which contribute merely tc
improving the scale of living of him.
self and family for the sake of those
which bring in cash returns.

Income Tax Facts.

Liability to file an income tax re-
turn fol the year 1922 is determined
by persons status on the last day
of the taxable year, December 81, if
the return is made on the calendar
year basis, as most are. If on that
date he was single he must file a
return if his net income for 1922 was
$1,000 or more, and he is allowed
only an exemption of $1,000. If he
was married on December 81 he is
granted the exemption allowed a
married person for the full year, 49,
500 if his net income was $4,000 or
less, and $4,000 if his net income ex-
ceedpd $4,000. The brides income,
however, must be considered with
that Of her husband, the larger ex-
emptions being allowed married
couples living together. A widower
whose spouse died before the end of
the year is classed as a single person.
Divorces and persons separated by
mutual consent also are classed as
single persons.
Similar conditions exist with re-
spect to the head of family. If,
during the year, his support of rela-
tives ceased he is entitled only to the
81 900 exemption. A man who has
a dependent child, not mentally or
physically defective, that attains the
age of Is years just before the close
Of the taxable year, cannot claim the
$500 credit for dependent.

STATE SEED COMMISSIONER
VISITS NOTHERN IDAHO

University of Idaho, Moscow, April,
&c. B. Allison, state seed commits
sioner and field agronomist of the
University Of Idaho extension division,
recently spent week in northern Ida
no inspecting seed. Analysis of sam
pies purchased by farmers and inter
views with growers indicated to Mr..
Allison that they are demanding pure
seed for planting. On the trip he Wis
tied the dealers establishments and
found the seed to be Of a high quail
ty. Only few samples were condem-
ned because of the presence Of nox-
ious weed seed.
The high cost of hay in nothern
Idaho due to the shortage of produc-
tion last year and high freight rates
has caused many farmers to plant
part OF their wheat land to hay, Mr..
Allison finds. There is a tremend-
GUS increase in the acreage Of legumes
especially alfalfa and sweet clover, in
north Idaho due partly to the desire to
grow more hay but as a recognition
OF the legumes as soil improvers.
The experiments conducted by the
University of Idaho experiment sta
tion on the various substation farms
show that the land seeded to legumes
makes ideal seed beds. Idaho county
was cited by Mr.. Allison as an exam
pie Of the basis upon which to estIm-
ate the increase in legumes. He says
that although an area Of 100 acres Of
alfalfa was being grown in that coun-
ty last year fully 5000 acres in addi-
tion will be seeded this year.
The thousands of samples received
this season at the main seed labra-
tory at Boise and the branch labra-
tory at Moscow indicate that the grow
ers realize the value of securing a
test before planting the seed Inoc-
ulation is also very general in north
Idaho this year and the expenditure
Of about 25 cents an acre for inocu-
ating bacteria is proving an excep-
.ional investment.
