FEEDING INSECTS
COSTS 3 BILLION
One Tenth of All Food Grown

BY the Associated Press.
One-tenth of all the food grown IN
the United States each year goes to
feed insects.
Government officials figure the
American public's total annual loss
froh worms, bugs and flies is IN ex-
cess Of $4,000, 100000.
The cost of the unending warfare
which farmers householders ana
Government units carry on against IN
sect pests is estimated at $200, 900, 600
a year.
The Federal Government this hscal
wear will spend nearly s6,ooo,ooo IN
the fight through the Agricultural
DEPARTMENTS Bureau OF Entomology.
State governments and individuals
will spend many more millions. An
especial outbreak in some section may
raise the Federal total. Last spring

The farmer is not the only sufferer.
Insect damage to shade trees, lawns
and shrubbery OF city dwellers runs
into millions annually. Damage 10
shade and forest trees is estimated by
the Agricultural Department at
$3.50, ,000,000 year.
Another foe of the city resident is
the termite, a boring insect which
devours the wood in houses. The
loss from this pest aggregates $40,-
100000 year.
Among the most helpful allies OF
man in the fight against insects are
insects themselves. Many insects
prey upon others. Thus wasps and
flies are one of the most effective
controls for the gypsy moth. An Agri-
culture Department expert found in
France types of these insects which
preyed upon the moth and a quantity
OF them were brought to America.

Taxpayers should note that un-
der the Revenue Act of 1896 the
credit for dependents as well as
the personal exemption is required
to be prorated where change of
status occurs during the taxable
year and that these credits are
allowable not only for the pur-
pose of computing the normal tax,
but also the surtax. A fractional
part of a month is to be disre-
garded unless it amounts to more
than half month, in which case
it IS considered a month.
For example, a single man and
a single woman who were married
on July 20, 1896, and were living
together on the last day OF the
taxable year, may file JOINT re-
turn. II they file their return or
returns on the basis OF the calen-
dar year. they would be entitled
to n personal exemption of 81
209.34, which is seven-twelfths Of
$1,000 for the husband while sin
gle, plus seven-twelfths OF $1,000
for the wife while single, plus five
twelfths of $500 for the period
during which they We're married.
II separate returns are filed, each
Is entitled to a personal exemp-
ton OF sl,l04.l7, which is seven-
twelfths OF $1,000, plus onehalf of
five-twelfths of $4,000. If during
the year 1886 the husband Or the
Imperial Valley press., 1937-02-03

wife had the status of the head
of family prior TO their marriage
he or she would be entitled to his
or her prorata share of the per-
sonal exemption of $500 allowed
the head of a family for the period
prior to their marriage instead
of merely that allowed a single
person. However, for the period
of their marriage any exemption
to which either might be entitled
as the head of a family would
be merged in the joint personal
exemption for that period. The
Joint personal exemption allow
able in the case of a couple who
were married and living together
during the entire year may not
exceed s2,5o0.
If a child under l8 years of age
and dependent on the parent for
support reaches the age of 10
years during the taxable year, the
credit of s400 for a dependent is
required to be prorated in the
same manner as the personal ex-
emption. For example, should the
childS eighteenth birthday fall on
June 80. the parent would be en-
titled to claim $500 credit for the
dependent ehild-that is, one-half
of S400 The same rule applies to
other dependents where a change
of status occurs during the tax
able year.

The year just passed was the

THE increased prosperity of the

an increasingly important factor in
future business improvement in the
