will be reflected IN the inventory
by reducing the amount Of livestock
or products on hand at the close
of the year, which has the effect Of
reducing gross income from business
by the amount Of the loss.
If an individual owns and op-
crates a farm in addition to being
engaged in another trade or business
or calling, and sustains q loss from
the farming operations, such loss
may be deducted from gross income
received from all sources in de-
termining the taxpayers net income,
provided such farm is not operated
for recreation or pleasure.
If q farm is operated for recrea-
ton or pleasure and not on COM
mercial basis, and II the expenses
incurred in connection Herewith are
in excess of the receipts therefrom,
the entire receipts from the sale Of
products may be ignored in render
ing a return of income, and the
expenses incurred, being regarded as
personal expenses. will not consti-
tute allowable deductions for Fed

Physical Examinations
For Drivers Opposed

The Keystone Automobile Club
today advised the District Com
missioners 1t was opposed to the
proposed compulsory physical ex-
animation Of all applicants for
driving permits here.
George E. Keneipp, club manager,
informed the city heads his organi-
zation opposed the plan because
physical examination Of citizens
should not become the function of
any governmental agencies" and
added that the director Of trafi1c
and vehicles already has sufncient
authority to deny a permit Of any
one believed physically unqualified.
He also claimed that a minute
percentage Of traff1c accidents" are
caused by physically incompetent
drivers, and therefore "the vast ma
jority Of motorists should not be
subjected to the Inconvenience and
expense OF such examinations"

Your Income Tax
No. 33-Losses of Farmers

Losses incurred in the operation
OF farms as business enterprises are
deductible from gross income. II
farm products are held for favorable
markets no deduction on account
of shrinkage in weight or physical
value, or by reason Of deterioration
in storage, is allowed, except as such
shrinkage may be reflected in an
inventory if used in determining
profits.
The destruction by frost, storm,
flood or fire Of a prospective crop
Is not q deductible loss in comput-
ing income since 1t represents the
loss OF anticipated profits which
have never been reported as income.
Likewise, q farmer engaged in rails
ing and selling livestock, such as
cattle, sheep and hogs, Is not en-
titled to claim as a loss the value
of animals that perish from among
the farm, except as such loss is re-
flected in an inventory, If used. If
livestock has been purchased for
any purpose, and afterward dies
from disease, exposure or injury. or
is killed by order Of the authorities
of q State or the United States, the
actual purchase price Of such live
stock, less any depreciation allow
able as a deduction in respect Of
such persisted livestock, may be de-
Quoted as q loss II the loss Is not
compensated for by insurance or
otherwise. The actual cost Of other
property with proper adjustments
for depreciation) which is destroyed
by order of State or Federal au-
thorities may likewise be claimed
as loss. If reimbursement is made
by a State or the United States in
whole or in part on account of stock
killed or other property destroyed
in respect of which a loss was
claimed in a prior year, the amount
received is required to be reported
as income for the year in which
reimbursement is made. The cost
of any feed, pasture, or care which
has been deducted as an expense Of
operation must not be included as
part Of the cost of the stock for
the purpose of ascertaining the
amount of a deductible loss.
If gross income Is ascertained by
the use of inventories no deduction
can be taken separately for livestock
or products lost during the year.
