UNCLE SAM WILL CHECK IN
COME TAX RETURNS FOR 1922

Denver.-Uncle Sam will commence
on Oct. l to check up on his citizens in
Colorado who made income tax returns
for 1922, and on some who did not
according to an announcement by F.
w. Howbert, collector Of internal rev.
enue.
On that date, a large force of field
deputies will commence investigation
of the returns made by all citizens
who earned less than $1,000 for 1922.
Their probe will be based on the in
formation furnished the internal reve-
nue. service by employers and others in
explaining moneys paid our.
Howbert's office force has been
working night and day for the past
several weeks in an endeavor to have
this information consolidated and in
shape for the field examiners by the
beginning of October. Over 100000
information slips were turned into the
income tax department for 1922, he
said, and the fact that in many cases
several slips were returned on the
same persons has made harder the
work of getting the information into
shape.
Basing his estimate on the results
obtained in previous years, Howbert
forecast that at least 10 per cent of
the G0,OO0 returns filed for 1922 would
be found incorrect, being either delin-
quent, where effort has been made to
evade payment of tax, or negligent,
the latter calling for the filing Of an
amended return.
Severe penalties may be imposed on
citizens who have deliberately lied
about their income or who have failed
to make returns when earning the
amount of money calling for one.

Condition of Hen House
Factor in Productivity

The condition of their winter quar-
ters is potent factor in the pro-
ductivity of poultry focks. Only
In paying numbers. While on range
most hens both lay and pay. because
conditions are such that they are per-
fectly healthy. Sanitation then takes
care of itself and constant exercise,
coupled with natural selection of food
having widely differing properties,
gives ideal conditions for high pro-
duction. Because conditions differ
widely in these particulars during the
seasons when fowls are confined, re-
suits are not as satisfactory.
ITO counteract unsatisfactory re-
SUITS" says A. c. Smith. poultry hus-
bandry leader at University Farm,
proper sanitary measures must be
practiced. Begin by putting the young
flock in clean house this fall. Clean
and disinfect the house thoroughly.
Remove and burn all floor and nest
litters. Remove all fittings, such as
nest, roOst, roosting platforms, and
water stands; clean and paint with a
good liquid disinfectant Kerosene to
which has been added little strong,
crude carbolic acid serves the purpose,
as do several commercial disin-
fectants.
Brush down the walls and ceiling,
remove as much of the old earth as
seems necessary, paint the walls with
the same dlslnfectant as the fittings
and put in fine or sandy loan to the
depth of four to six inches. Replace
the fittings, and let the house air well
for week or more before putting In
the young stock"
