THE GROWER AND INCOME TAX
Hood River, (Ore.) News


Presuming that the income of the
fruit grower and farmer in this and
the coming few years is going to
incur the payment of income taxes,
it is going to be something more

position to determine net income
on a years operations. Production
Credit corporation officials are full

lied from the statement recently
made by c. r. Arnold, Production
Credit Commissioner:
"A farmer who sells his products
for, say, $4,000 gross certainly
should deduct his expected income
tax before he can figure his net
returns. He will do well to figure
probable income tax as part of his
anticipated cost of production, for
he is going to have to pay it just
as surely as he has to pay tax on
his land. and the chances are good

LONDON, March 19.-Japan and
Germany are going to try to ex-
change vital war supplies, Britains S
new minister of economic warfare
predicted today, strongly suggesting
that the Vichy-French island of
Madagascar might figure in these
Axis Vaccinations.
The Earl of Selborne, in his first

plies which would be dangerous to
the Allied cause will be allowed to
go to Madagascar, especially under
the present circumstances"
Britain and the United States
both are closely watching the situa-
ton regarding that big island of
Southeast Africa, he said.
Germany, he added, must be pre-
vented from exchanging machine
tools and technicians for Japanese
controlled tin, rubber and tungsten,
and the most important feature of
economic warfare at present will be
TO intercept ships attempting such
transfers.
Japan has at least IS ships cap
able of a nonstop voyage to Ger
many. and meetings at sea also may
be tried, he said.
He described the war as largely a
struggle for supplies, with both Brit
ain and Germany feeling the effects
of blockade, although he said Ger
many was suffering worse than
Britain.
Germany's oil situation "is a great
deal more stringent than 1t has ever
been" Lord Selborne commented
He said German military oil con-
sumption had not been curtailed, but
that without new supplies lit is my
opinion that they cannot continue
using oil at the present rate for
many months longer
