FARMERS RECEIVING
WHEAT CHECKS In KENT
[Continned from First Psge1

[Continaed from First Page1
Z. Wilson, who is also secretary of
the association.
Some delay I'm this wheat program
has been caused by the return of
several compliance forms for minor
corrections by the county allotment
committee which includes r: Harry
Wilson, c. Arthur Taylor and Rob
ert A. Carton, who have served on
this committee ever since this wheat
adjustment work started in the sum
mer of 1888.
Each benefit payment is being
made on the basis of 20.5 cents a
bushel ON the farm allotment in
bushels for the year 1886, and is be-
ing issued in one check which COM
pletes the 1886 wheat program. IN
the 1933-1935 wheat program each
contract signer who complied with
the terms of the contract received
two benefit checks for each crop of
wheat, but since this program has
been discontinued the Federal gov
ernment agreed to make only the
one payment in the completion of
this work for 1886.
In connection with the 1886 wheat
allotment program, 3S1 farmers in
Kent county and 1873 in Sussex coun-
ty signed applications for contracts,
a total of 5l4 for both coun-
ties. The 1936-1939 program was
based upon the wheat yields for the
period 1880 to 1885, inclusive. and
the six-year average wheat acreage
OH these 3S1 farms in Kent county
was AZ acres. or a total of 1908
acres representing 1873 per cent of
the entire wheat acreage in the
county. /
If this wheat adjustment program
could have been continued for an
other three years it would have been
to note its effect upon
the wheat acreage, in addition to
he adjustment of other crops in this
progra mof agricultural planning.

SUSSEX FARMERS URGED
TO TAKE INVENTORY
[Confinaed from First PsRel

tConfuHed from First Psge1
en- year apart will show whether
or not you are getting ahead finan-
cially and how much? AS a matter OF
fact, farm business that is not
checked up by some such method as
an inventory or credit statement is
like a farmer who tries to run his
car on muddy roads without chains
o. oil. Just as the chains give the
car a better grip on the road, the
inventory give you a better grip on
the facts of your farm business and
makes you more sure of where you
are going. AS the oil prevents your
car from overheating and stopping
and enables 1t to run more smoothly,
the credit statement makes 1t more
easy to secure credit and enables
your business to run more smooth
ly.
No one expects that his buildings
will burn or that there may be Oc-
casion to settle his estate, but both
the red and black riders strike with
out warning. Every farmer owes it
to himself and family to have on
hand a list of what he owes and
owns.
The best time to do this is right
now. 1t is no long nor hard job; in
fact you will have. it, done before
you lose your enthusiasm for doing
II, If you get at II at once.
In fixing values of the articles or
stock simply use your best judg-
ment in what an animal or article
would bring at a well attended farm
sale. Ask yourself the question.
What would l pay for the article
or animal at a sale? This should
give you a fair answer.
These records will be for your
own private information to be kept
at your home for your own use.
To make this job real easy the
Extension Department of the Uni
of Delaware has prepared
inventory blanks and credit state 4,
nent blanks for your use. All you
need is a pencil and the inclination.
You can get the blanks at any bank
in the county or from your County
Agricultural Agent C. II. Snyder. OF
II you can not go for I;
,ne, drop a card and you will re-
,eive the blanks in a few days. Why
lot make this one of your 1887 res
buttons?

YOUR INCOME TAX
Ferns For Making Returns

Forms for filing returns of income
| for 1896 have been sent to persons
who filed returns last year. Failure
/ to receive a form, however, does not
relieve a taxpayer of his obligation
to file his return and pay the tax on
time, ON or before March Is IL the
return is made on the calendar year
basis, as is the case with most indi-
viduals.
Forms may be obtained upon re-
quest, written or personal, from the
Offices of collectors of internal rev.
enue and deputy collectors. Persons
whose net income for 1886 was de-
rived chiefly from salary or wages
and was not in excess of $4,000
should make their returns on form
1O4OA. Persons whose net income
was in excess of $4,000, or. regard
less of amount, was derived from a
business. profession, rents or sale
of property, are required to use a
larger form, 1040. Failure to use the
proper form presents difficulties to
both the taxpayer and the Bureau of
Internal Revenue. Therefore. 1t Is
emphasized that taxpayer engaged
in a business or profession from
which he derived a net income of
less than $1,000 is required to use
the larger form.
The return must be filed with the
collector of internal revenue for the
district in which the taxpayer has
his legal residence or principal
place of business on or before mid
night of March Is. 1887. The tax may |
be paid in full at the time of filing
The return or in four equal INSTALL
nents, due on or before March Is.
