Unfortunately, in agriculture, the inefficient

not the corn-borer the boil weevil or the wheat

meet with a similar Canadian high
way which extends from Regina and

would connect the Saskatchewan
cities with two main highways of the

FILE INCOME TAX
RETURNS EARLY

c. A. Rasmussen, Collector of In
formal Revenue, Helena, Montana,
Calls attention to the fact that the
Iast day for filing income tax re-
turns is on Tuesday, March 10; and
urres all taxpayers to file early.
There are no changes in the law,
regulations, rates, or exemptions,
rom last year: the Act of 1926 gov
eyning the filing of this years re-
turns. Those who must file are
single persons (widows and widOwers
ncIuded) who had net income OF
$500 or more, or gross income OF
$4,000 or more: and married couples
who had net income of $500 or more
or gross income Of $4,000 or more.
The personal exemptions are $500
for each single individual, and $500
for each married person, with an adj
diJional exemption of S4OO for each
child under Is. In addition, the tax
PAYER gets credit for rs per cent of
the earned income on the amount of
his tax, based on net income.
In making out his income tax for
the year 1926, the business man,
professional man, and farmer, is re-
ouired to use Form 1910: regardless
OF whether his net income was or
was not in excess of $4,000. The
smaller Form 1040 A is used for re-
porting incomes of $4,000 or less, de-
rived chiefly from salaries or wages.
Attention is called to the fact that
in previous years, in number OF ag-
ricultu al districts in this state, far
mers have failed to file returns, who
mad gross incomes Of $4,000 or more,
even though such returns would
have proved non taxable. In order to
avoid penalties by reason of investi-
cations in the future, such persons as
are engaged in farming occupation
and who come under the limitations
and provisions of this Act-that is to
say, who have gross incomes of over
S5,000-shOuld tile returns accOmpa-
MED by the Farm Schedule known as
1910 L.
The Collector also calls attention
to the fact that disclosures must be
made by depositOrs Of closed banks
who have received dividends from
tie receivers of such banks in eXces.

in the year in which such bank clos
