GRAIN SHORTAGE
FEARED BY TRADE
Crop News Stresses Reports
High Winds Kick Up
Dust in Wheat Belt.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 27.-Dust
storms in the wheat country have in
spired fresh fears among grain trad
ers that drought again may threaten
farm crops in 1887.
Crop news stresses reports that high
winds have been kicking up dust in
the broad domestic wheat belt. To
grain men dust storms mean that the
soil is dry, probably too dry to nourish
the roots.
Mere thought of another serious dry
spell, analysts said, was cause for
alarm, with grain supplies already
depleted as result of successive years
of drought eliminating in 1896.
Fears "Dust Bowl"
H. c. Donovan, Chicago crop ex-
pert, said he feared the dust bowl
in the Southwest would be in evidence
again next Spring, although some
what diminished on the eastern ex-
tremity.
"Overbalancing this decrease" he
said, ARE the threatening Subsoil
moisture shortage troubles of West
ern Nebraska and the similar situa-
tion all through Spring wheat Sec
tions Of both the United States North
west and Western Canada.
Moisture deficiency in these areas
Is said to be the worst in 80 years,
making the whole situation more
alarming than did the bad condition
that existed year ago at this time u
Donovan drew an outline of the dry
areas of the Winter wheat belt, where
grain now is growing. On the map
it was a rough rectangle, touching
Eastern sections of Texas and Okla.
homa Panhandles, Eastern Kansas
Southeastern Nebraska, Western Colo
RADIO and Northwestern New Mexico.
Prospects Poor in Kansas.
The Cargill Grain g. Elevator Co.
reported that in the dry area of West.
ern Kansas and surrounding territory
crop prospects were poor. Many fields
that terminated did not have suffi-
cient moisture to carry plants through
the first trying period, and fields were
spotted, it said. The Northern Plains
States have practically no subsoi
moisture, and dry weather since last
August has caused apprehension.
Grain speculators' interpretations
Of such reports were believed by many
traders to have been reflected to some
extent in the price for wheat deliver
able on Board of Trade contracts next
July. This delivery, the only one
quoted representing wheat now in
growth, sold yesterday at a peak of
s105% a bushel, highest since June,
1884, and only three-fourths from the
top established then.

FARMERS CORNER

Exec. Sec'y, Agricultural Council of Calf.

What constitutes net income" to

due and payable on or before April
18th.
The problem of separating met"
from gross" is admittedly more
difficult for the farmer than for
the professional man, or business
man.
But this fact has been taken into
consideration by Charles j. Nc
Colgan, state franchise tax COM
missioner and income tax collector
with the result that income tax
blanks for farmers include a spe-
cial Schedule of Farm Income and
Expenses, designed to simplify the
farmers return.
And in addition, Mr.. Mcclellan
gives the further assurance that
farmers will not be forced to set
up an elaborate bookkeeping sys-
tenn to satisfy the state govern
ment-providing they play fair
with the government and report
their earnings as honestly and in
telligently as possible.

turn blank, at first glance, may
have the appearance Of a warrant
of arrest, or a court summons, it
isn't actually half so bad, according
to Tax Commissioner McColgan,
and it is important that the prob
lem be approached in the right
state of mind. He reminds, in this
regard, that the state income tax
was enacted to balance Unequal
tiles in the sales tax, that it was
supported by virtually all of the
state farm organizations, and that
it will bear much more heavily on
the wealthy than on farmers and
others of moderate income.
But to proceed to business-fill-
ing out the returnl
AT the outset, all unmarried per-
sons with net incomes of more than
$1,000 per year, or married couples
with net incomes of $2500 or more,
must file income tax reports-eVen
if they don't have to pay the tax.
The tax is l per cent on the first
$4,000 of net income; 2 per cent
from $4,000 to $4,000; per cent
from $4,000 to $4,000, graduating
up to a maximum of Is per cent
for net income of $250,000 or more
The higher brackets, however, will
probably not trouble the ordinary
farmer!
To arrive at a basis for deter
mining met income, it is first
necessary to total gross income"
