SOVIET FAR AHEAD i.
| |NHANT|NG WHEAT
Russia Seeks to Become
Once Again a Major Ex-
porting Nation.
BY the Associated Press.

6y Lne ASSOCldteO FreSS.
Far ahead in its wheat-planting pro-
gram, Russia is moving steadily nearer
its goal Of becoming once again a major
wheat-exporting nation.
Its progress this year comes at a
time when the four major wheat
exporting nations-Canada, Argentina,
Australia and the United States
through representatives at Geneva are
seeking a preliminary agreement on
plans to control their output. stabilize
international wheat trade and bring
better prices to growers long depressed
Planted 46,1sS,ooo Acres.
The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics reported yesterday that on April
25, the last date for which unofficial
Russian planting statistics are available,
Russians had planted 46, 10000 acres
OF Spring wheat. This is far ahead OF
the progress made last year, when
"a ,695, 900 acres had been sown on the
same date, and 1881, when only 16, ,793,-
600 acres had been planted.
On collective farms, which last year
accounted for 70 per cent Of RuSSias
wheat output, the assembling Of seeds
an important part of the operations
was 3 per cent in advance of plans on
April 20. These plans were laid to cover
the entire planting movement and were
stepped up from the program Of other
years.
On the same date, however, seed as
sembling on peasant farms was behind
schedule, particularly in the upper Cau-
casus and Ukraine regions.
Before the World War Russia was
regularly potential billion -bushel
producer. 1t turned out wheat in ex-
cess OF that amount on several occa-
sions and was major factor in deter
mining world price and supply.
Seeks to Recapture Place.
During the World War it lost that
place. and has never regained it. but
has increasingly centered its agricul-
tural ambition on recapture of that
position. Its production fell sharply
during the war. dropped further
during the revolution and remained at
about 200 900 900 bushels or less a year
until 1928.
Its production since that time has
increased from year to year with only
a few lapses. barely falling short Of a
billion bushels in 1930-31, which repre-
sented about 20 per cent Of the estd-
mated world production for that year.
Its crops the last two years have failed
to pass that point. partly because Of
delay found necessary for adoption and
development of the collectivized system
of farming.

CONTINUANCE URGED
Mount Pleasant Citizens Favor Ap-
preparation of $4,000 for
Activities.

Stressing the value of the service
rendered, the Mount Pleasant Citizens
Association last night urged the con-
tinuance of the full activities of the
Com mmunity. Center Department
throughout the coming year.
To this end, a resolution favoring the
appropriation of $4,000 by Congress
for Community Center work was adopted.
A letter from Newbold Noyes stated
that the Community Chest had failed
to receive an the funds it needed. The
association did not take any action on
the letter because, since it was written,
the Wagner relief bill has been passed.
It was pointed out this bill would help
in the relief work in washington.
The organization elected Frederick
J. Hunt as its president for the coming
wear. Other officers, elected were Ray
mond j. Bowen, vice president; Daniel
Foley, treasurer; John Da La Mater
secretary, and DR.. Arthur A. Chenay
and Mai A. M. Holcombe as delegates
to the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations.
The next meeting of the Mount

tives of these Burmese people to this
country for circus performances were
defeated by the timidity Of the Karen
women. the circus agents report. The
trick was turned. however. it is said,
by gifts of salt, regarded as q rare
delicacy in the remote sections OF
Upper Burma, and ornate buttons,
buffalo nickels and other whatnots.
Four or five brass bands are placed
about the necks of Burmese baby
girls, each ring being about the size
of a persons little finger. Each year
an additional ring is added until as
many as 25 are worn, this serving to
elongate the necks.
In addition to the neck bands these
Burmese women. who are of the Pa
daung tribe, wear many pounds OF
brass rings about their arms and legs.

TAX MUST BE met
DESPITE HOLIDAYS
Income Returns to Be Required by
March Is Even if Banks
Are Closed.

Bank holidays such as in Maryland
may not be used by Federal income
taxpayers to escape filing a Federal
income tax return, it has been an
nounced officially by the Treasury Ce-
partment, but it is likely that the Gov
ernment may allow actual payment OF
the tax to be postponed on that account.
Penalties Of IS per cent OF the tax
will attach to those persons VINO 1ali
to file returns on or before Marcn 10,
It was explained.
The official statement said:
"The Bureau of Internal Revenue
announced today that no extension OF
time for filing income tax returns would
be granted merely on the ground that
a holiday had been declared for banks
in the taxpayers community. 1t Is i'm
portant from the bureaus standpoint
that returns be filed on or before March
IS; first, to enable the bureau to pro-
ceed with its work of auditing returns,
and secondly it must be determined as
early as possible the amount of revenue
the Government eventually Will receive
under the income tax provisions OF the
new revenue act.
"At the same time, it was pointed out
by the bureau that if the taxpayer files
an income-tax return on or before
March Is, 1888, he is thereby relieved
of the penalty imposed by section 291
of the revenue act of 1882 which pro-
vides that 25 per cent Of the tax shall
be added to the tax in case Of any
failure to make and file return with
in the time prescribed by law"
A taxpayer by presenting a good ex-
cuse can get a delay of six months in
payments due on his tax, and while no
oficial would be quoted, the opinion
was expressed that bank holiday might
be accepted as a reason for granting
such an extension.
