whacked off S60,642 in income tax,
leaving them S40,35S to share be-
tween them
Actually here is how it worked
for each of them:
First. they split S1o5,OOO so each

Second. when they said hello to

Third. after Ringen added his
other income for the first five
months of this year, his personal in
come tax totaled S31, l52 and he
came out with only S21 ,348.
Fourth. Miss Harding's income
tax was S2g, 400, and she came out
with S23,0l0
To top it all off, Ringen discov-
cred that the income tax law virtu-
ally forbids him from working the
remainder of 1945
He gets S12.36 daily as a labOrer.
From this, a tax of 1926 day would
be taken leaving him a net of only
S264

want to provide Ashe county
with the best possible soil con-
servation district program.
About 400 to 500 pounds of
phosphate per acre on pasture
land is about a minimum appli-
cation to develop good grass, &C.
cording to J. c. Little. This much
phosphate has worked we'll on
my pasture and hay land, he said.
Wade Eller commented at the
last supervisors meeting on the
growth of soil conservation prac-
tees in Ashe county. It is graft
flying to us on the board of super
visors to see the interest in soil
conservation work that is being
shown by our farmers.
Lloyd Richardson says that a
deed is not sufficient to hold land.
He says that a deed is essential to
hold as legal title to the farm,
but good soil conservation prac-
tees will do a better job of hold
ing the farm. He says no one
will steal deed. but soil erosion
will steal the soil.
