Gus. No one should follow this
procedure without a full under
standing of what these limitations
are, and we shall now proceed to a
rather full discussion of ~.
The Optional, or Short, Form of
Return
Under prior law. we had : two
separate forms of return - No.
1040, used when the taxpayer
took his actual deductions, and
No. 1040A, used when he COM
puted his tax according to the
table. This year, the one form,
1O4O, provides for both. one sheet
being torn off II the table is used
The table of last year was based
on the gross income, less an allow
ance of about 6% for non-business
deductions: its use was not permit
ted for income from business, and
1t could not be used for income in
excess of $4,000, or by taxpayers
reporting on other than a cash
basis. The new law permits, but
does not require, use of the short
form for gross incomes of less than
$4,000, from any source, and does
not restrict It to those on a cash
basis. If they wish, those whose
income is less than $4,000 may take
their actual deductions by using
the longer form, the same as those
with larger incomes, and | shall
try to show that many, if not most,
taxpayers should do so. The choice
of form, once made, is irrevocabIe.
The new law changes the previous
allowance for deductions from So
of the gross income to 1919 of the
adjusted gross" income. This
phase of the table requires explain
alton, for it is apt to mislead the
taxpayer, to his cost.
Let's assume that he is married,
with no dependents, and therefore
has two surtax exemptions. His
adjusted gross income is $4,000;
his wife has none; his non-business
deductions total 1899; his wife has
none. The tax table says that for
incomes of from $4,000 to less
than $4,000" the tax for a person
with two exemptions is $631. Now
the danger is that he will choose
the short form of return, because
he understands that the table al
lows for deductions of 1919 of the
income, and his actual deductions
are only 1899. But this is a mistake
are only 1899. But this is mis-
take. He will save himself exactly
$5.75 by choosing the long form.

Another new feature of the law
provides that a wage Garner, If he
chooses, and if he meets certain
conditions, may file the withholding
receipt received from his employer,
in lieu of tax return. His total
income must be less than $4,000
and consist almost entirely Of
wages subject to Withholding. 1t
may. however. include interest and
dividends and wages not subject to
Withholding. provided the amount
received from these sources does
not exceed 800. In such cases
the Collectors office will figure
the tax, and send the taxpayer a
bill, or later on, a refund, as the
case may require.
Now, this sounds simple enough,
but since the Collector will figure
the tax according to the optional
table, it may be costly luxury.
Instances could be cited where the
tax would be 500 more. All the
limitations of the optional table
apply. and they are many and seri-

The fact is that the table does
not allow for deductions of 1919
for all incomes within a given
bracket, but computes the tax at
the mid-point of income in each
bracket, allowing deductions of
about 1Oqo thereof. For the brack-
ct in our illustration. the mid
point income is $4,025, and the
contemplated deductions $4O1. But
that is on an income of $4,025. For
this persons income of $4,000, the
table allows deductions of only
1915. He saves by using the long
form because his tax is then fig
ured as follows:

DOT, that new insecticide that
there's been 80 much talk about
lately, Is good, as q means Of con-
trolling lice on dairy cattle. Da-
vid Brannon, extension entomolo-
gist at the State College Of Wash
ington, tells us that the best time
to apply it is in the fall. before
the cattle are badly infested ond
before the weather gets too cold
for effective treatments.
Here is what Brannon says:
1.-THE louise which is most widely
distributed and which affects cat
tie more than any other is the
short-nosed cattle louise. IT you
take steps to control this particular
species, you will find that the
same measures will also control
other species"
Brannon points out that cattle
should be treated. Otherwise, the
lice cause them to become weak
ened and unthrifty and therefore
they can't Withstand disease 50
well; their vitality is lowered; and
they don't make the proper gains
in weight. It may even get to the
point where their milk production
is affected adversely.
Another bad thing about lice
infestation is that the animals
are so irritated by the itching that
they bite themselves and scratch
and rub their skins against any
handy object. This removes large
patches Of hair and skin, and
large, scabby, bleeding patches
may form.
TO treat cattle with DOT, Bran
non recommends this technique:
In the case of only q few cattle.
hand treatment with a small hand
buster is good. In this, use 5 per
cent solution of DOT dust. For
large herds, 9. sprayer is most eff
fective equipment. Use a power
sprayer, and make the solution
this way: Mix four pounds Of SO
per cent wettable DOT in 100
gallons of water. If Is per cent
DOT is used, eight pounds in the
100 gallons of water is necessary.
To mix DOT with the water, first
make paste with a small guam
tity Of water, and then add the rest
of the water to the paste. You'll
need a half-gallon Of the spray for
each animal. IF you're busting
then, use about one ounce Of
DOT dust for each.
Brannon concludes with this
"The use Of DOT oil
sprays on cattle is not recommend
ed"

PRICE CONTROL

Arthur ]. eagle, extension econ
omist at the State College Of
Washington, points out that the
farmers have a "real financial
interest" in the date that will be
formally set as the end of the war,
and he gives us the reasons why.
Since for two calendar years
after the formal declaration Of the
end Of the war, the government
will support prices at definite
levels, the amount farmers get for
many commodities will be affect
ed. The government is committed
to support the prices Of basic
commodities at 80 per cent Of par
ity or comparable price. Basic
commodities include wheat, and
some Of the Steagall commodities
are hogs, chickens weighing over
three and one-half pounds, eggs,
turkeys, milk, butterfat, dry peas,
and bean, flaxseed, and potatoes.
"If the end Of the war e pro.
claimed any time yet this year, the
governments price commitment
for the commodities listed viii sim
extend through 1916 and 1917"
