Your Income Tax
No. 47-Losses of Farmers

Losses incurred in the operation
of farms as business enterprises are
deductible from gross income. If
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 prospective crop is
not a deductible loss in computing
income since it represents the loss
of anticipated profits which have
never been reported as income. Like
wise, farmer engaged in raising
and selling livestock, such as cat
tie. sheep and hogs, is not entitled
to claim as loss the value of ami
mails that perish from among those
animals that were raised on the
farm, except as such loss is re-
flected in an inventory, If used. II
livestock has been purchased for
any purpose, and afterWard dies
from disease, exposure or injury, or
is killed by order of the authorities
of a State or the United States, the
actual purchase price of such live
stock, less any depreciation allow
able as deduction in respect of
such perished livestock, may be de-
Quoted as a loss if 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 authori-
ties may likewise be claimed as a
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

Despite Slight Drop
From Previous Week
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Feb. 19-The general
country wide buying rush tapered

retailers reported sales reaching high
fall levels, Dun & BradStreet, Inc,
reported today.
Although February normally is one
Of the dullest months. sales for the
whole Nation were estimated at 20
to IS per cent higher than m 1912.
Buyers this week tended to use
more care and selectivity in pur-
chasing in contrast to frantic grab
bing noted last week.
Ready to-wear lines were selling
hrlskly while outstanding sales were
IN shoes. Suits and coats frequently
doubled last years volume. Fur sales
continued while mems furnishings
went at fast rate. Coat and suit
volume bettered last years high
totals.
Despite promotions glassware and
lamp sales were below expectations
put floor coverings still surpassed
last years volume. Grocery sales
were 10 to Is per cent larger than
in 1912
Subzero temperatures in the East
ern and New England sections stimu-
lated sales of winter coats and other
warm apparel
The Southwest and Pacific Coast
continued to lead all sections of the
country in sales with gains of 35 to AZ
and % to 36 per cent, respectively.
Other regional percentage increases
were: New England, 13 to Is; East,

in respect of which a loss was
claimed in prior year, the amount
received is required to be reported as
income for the year in which reim-
bursement is made. The cost of any
feed, pasture or care which has
been deducted as an expense of op-
Grafton 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,
whether purchased for resale or pro-
duced on the farm, as such losses
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 busi-
ness by the amount of the loss.
If an individual owns and operates
farm in addition to being engaged
in another trade OF business or call
ing, and sustalns loss from the
farming operations, such loss may
be deducted from gross income re-
ceived from all sources in determin-
ing the taxpayers net income, pro-
vided such farm is not operated for
recreation or pleasure.
If farm is operated for recrea-
ton or pleasure and not on a COM
mercial basis, and if the expenses
incurred in connection Herewith
are in excess of the receipts there
from, the entire receipts from the
sale of products may be ignored in
rendering a return of income, and
the expenses incurred. being re-
garded as personal expenses, will not
constitute allowable deductions for
Federal income tax purposes.
