Jan. l5Deadline
For Income Tax
Declaration

Thomas M. Robinson, Collector
of Internal Revenue for the Mon
tana District reminded federal
income taxpayers this week that
January Is is the deadling for
filing, amending and paying 1947
declarations of estimated tax.
In issuing this reminder COL
lector Robinson cautioned tax
payers not to confuse the January
Is tax date with the usual March
Is deadline for filing final 1947
income tax returns. However, he
pointed out tn a if a taxpayer
files and pays his final 1947 tax
return ION Form 1040) by Janu-
airy Is, it will serve both as his
return and as any declaration or
amended declaration which would
otherwise be due from him on
that date.
This date concerns farmers in
particular. Farmers were excused
by law from estimating their 1947
income tax early in the year and
therefore must file their delara-
tons or final returns and pay the
tax now.
Most business and professional
men were supposed to have filed
declarations on their 1947 tax last
March Is and generally will have
only to pay the final installment
on such declarations. However,
those who failed to file should do
so now and those who wish to
change their estimates to avoid
the penalty for Understanding
by more than 20 per cent have
until January Is to file.
Collector Robinson stated that
due to the large volume of work
and the limited number of ex-
perienced employees, it will be
impossible this year to visit the
smaller towns before January Is,
1913. However, D equity COL
lectors will be stationed at the
Helena office and Zone offices
throughout the State for the pur-
pose of assisting Taxpayers from
January 2 through January Is
with the exception of Saturdays.
January 3 and 10. Taxpayers de-
string assistance should arrange
to call at the Internal Revenue
office at Cut Bank.

Indians Topic
Waller, Conrad
(By Jack Billedcaux)

The Browning Indians in two
pre-Christmas games had their
stock boosted in two consecutive
basketball victories to offset loss
in two previous games.
First victory was over the
Conrad Cowboys 1926. After
trailing 1917 at half-time the In
dians, led by Kramer who put in
six buckets in the third quarter,
took a 1928 lead.
The Cowboys couldn't get back
in the game after the third quar-
ter and the Indians maintained
an eight point margin through
out the fourth quarter.
Kramer put on a second half
exhibition to notch 10 points and
take individual scoring honors.
Kiel and Floerchinger each had
seven for the losers while Billie
deaux dropped in eight for the
winners.
In the preliminary the Conrad
"B" defeated the Browning "B"
PAIL
OVERWHELMS WALLER
Beginning with terrific drive
and not letting up until the
fourth quarter, the Indians made
a clean sweep of the weekend
games by overwhelming an out
classed Waller team at Waller
Saturday 55-2S.
Waller made the first basket,
but that was their only claim to
glory as the Indians quick Y
piled up 81 margin at the end
of the first quarter. At the end
of the half the Indians, led by
Billedeax, Kramer and Kipp ran
to a 1912 count.
Early in the third quarter Kra-
mer went out on personals after
hitting the hoop for IL points.
The Indians were ahead 1920
at the end of the third quarter
and though the game slowed up
Waller could not close the gap.
Billedeaux led all scores with
% points. while Kramer had 10
and kipp nine for Browning.
Tidyman made seven for VAL
Ter.
In the preliminary the Brown
ing Jr. high defeated Waller Jr.

| you can teach dog, young or old,
many tricks.
Many dogs hate to be given a
bath. One reason is that they do
not like the sudden immersion in a
tub of water. BY first placing the
animal in the tub and then allow
ing the water to run in slowly, a
dog who generally objects to his
bath will probably learn to enjoy
the experience.
II your dog leaves solid food un-
eaten, paws at his foreface, or bangs
his head and whimpers and has a
generally gloomy disposition, then
the chances are he needs to visit a
canine dentist.
l am a firm believer In having a
dog checked over thoroughly at least
once a year by a veterinarian even
if the animal seems in the best of
health. During these periodic
checkups, I make sure that the
dogs teeth are looked at.

it used in any dog medicines?-B. H.
Answer: Santonin is a drug de-

make good barriers is worth looking
into.
We are now transplanting small
cedars that must be cleared out
from one of our fields to make a
hedge around our back yard. We
are planting them close together
and will keep the tops trimmed back
so as to promote a bushy growth at
the bottom.
A neighbor has given us seeds
and plants OF another hedging plant
that we hope to get started around
our front fields. The name we don't
know, but it is beautiful in the win
ter when the falling leaves bear a
thick mat of soft green thorns. And
when properly planted, even a rab-
bit would have trouble getting
through.
And we are not forgetting the pos
sibilities of multihora roses to divide
some OF our fields. Our filly makes
wire impractical and so we are going
in heavily for hedges.

Pasture grass, a self-harvestine
crop and, therefore, one OF the dairy
mans cheapest feed sources. often
is the crop most neglected, accord
ing to agronomists in Virginia and
Maryland.
An idea of the Importance OF good
pastures may be had from q few
figures compiled by Virginia agrono-
mistS.
A pasture system, for example
that will provide at least 240 days
of continuous grazing will cut milk
production costs from 20 to Is per
cent
Such a pasture system is worth go
to Is cents per day per COW. based
on the cost Of dairy feed at $75 per
ton.
DR.. A. o. Kuhn, head Of the Uni
versity Of Maryland agrononly de-
partment, goes along, for the most
part, with the Virginia figures. DR.
Kuhn believes, however. that In
Maryland it is not possible to Craze
quite as early in the spring or as late
in the fall as the Virginia grazing
period would suggest.
Grasses, he says, must be given
a chance to recover in the fall and
to make a good growth in the spring
II they are to give maximum results
Nitrogen Acts as Booster.
Spring applications Of nitrogen
will often provide earlier spring
grazing, he says, while the use OF
such legumes as Ladino clover may
provide longer grazing periods. Sup
Elementary pastures. such as small
grains and rye grass also will give
extra fall and spring grazing.
Many pastures in this area are
not properly managed, agronomists
believe. There is still an inclina-
ton on the part Of many dairymen
to treat pastures, or grass. like the
air or q forest.
The attitude that grass is some
thing that just grows anyway is
still prevalent in many sections
Too few farmers, agronomists agree,

Pastures should be clipped to con-
troll weeds, just as a corn crop is
cultivated. Pastures should be lined
and fertiliZed In order to promote
the best possible growth Of the most
desirable grasses.
In this area, two farmers, both in
Fairfax County, Va, stand out as
good pasture managers. Both are
small-scale farmers and both have
their land geared for the maximum
per-acre production.

clover to this section some II years
ago, follows an all-grass program on

may be cut back to the desired
height.
The pruning Of deciduous trees
and shrubs may be done at any time
now, although most gardeners prefer
to let the pruning of the early spring
Towering shrubs wait until after
the Towering season. To prune now
is to remove a portion Of next
springs flowers. However If they
have not been pruned for two or
three years it is better to start .
rejuvenation pruning now. Remove
the oldest canes at the ground line.
Avoid pruning the shiny-leaved
hydrangea until next spring at
which time the dead canes, the small
weak ones, and those injured BY
winter freezes are removed. II too
many canes are left they may bs
thinned but do not shorten them.

until December, although Septem-
ber and october are the preferred
months.
Sow the seed in fiat or pan filled
with a good rich mixture Of leaf
mold and sandy garden loam. Cover
the seed with q thin layer OF sifted
soil and cover with glass to hold
the moisture. Water from below
and keep the seedlings in . well
lighted situation but not in direct
sunlight. During this stage tenn
perature of 60 to 65 degrees Is de-
sirable. When the seedlings have q
we'll developed leaf the plants should
be shifted to another fiat where
they will have room to develop.
When the plants have three leaves
they should be moved again. The
next shift is to a pot. AS the plants
roots begin to crowd, 1t Is shifted to
the next larger SHED pot and this
continues until they are in 5-inch
pots. In the first two stages the
soil contains a high proportion Of
sand and leafmold, in the pot
stages the proportion of clay In the
mixture is increased by reducing the
amount of sand added. Replace
some of the leafmold with well rot
ted stable manure.
Half In, Half Out Of Soil.
One point to keep in mind, as the
CORN develops it Is raised higher
and higher with each transplanting
until in the end it Is half out OF
the soil, lie. the top of the CORN
Is level with the edge Of the pot.
In a shady garden it is easier to
keep the growing cyclamens out OF
doors during the summer, bringing
them indoors before there is danger
of frost. Indoors the temperature
is kept low-50 to IS degrees.
While budding and blooming a
gentle spraying with water is bene-
fetal, but it should be done in the
morning.
AS mentioned above some garden
ers discard the corms when the sea-
son of Towering is over. Others
keep the plants growing for a while

ed by his 35-cow herd Of Guernseys
and many years is able to sell his ex-
cess hay.
Follows Rotating System.
Mr.. Rice follows a rotating graz
ing system. His land is cut into
small pastures and the herd is
shifted from one field to another
during the grazing season. Thus his
pastures are able to make quick
comeback after they have been
grazed. Some fields are so small
that they provide only halliday
grazing for the herd.
The other Fairfax County farmer
Mason Smith, jr., grazes % cows on
so acres. At this season his herd
still is on pasture and he is shipping
more than 100 gallons of milk daily
His fields of Ladino clover, alfalfa
and grasses are as green this fall as
they were in early May.
These farmers are among the
many who now are making greater
utilization of the possibilities OF
grass. They are following pro-
gram which agronomists agree is q

Piles of golden corn are increas-
ing in our back field. Corn husk-
ing, for us, is a leisurely process
not the hurried task it appears to
be on farms around us.
After all, we have the whole win
ter before US, and If we work too
fast, there is the storage problem.
On our small place harvest creates
an emergency, for we must stretch
our meager facilities to take care Of
each new crop.
Already a new COW has pushed
our work room out in the open, and
am afraid the new corn crop will
force our feed and tack from the
barn into the house. I suppose we
could always stretch our mattresses
over a few sacks, if necessary.
Corn husking can be a contem-
plative job, and the seasons have
conspired to make of it one of the
most pleasant tasks on our farm

Many of our Federal prisons have
trained German shepherds or blood
hounds as regular members Of their
stats. These dogs are used In
guarding the prisoners who work
outside the prison walls and in
tracking down those who attempt tc
escape. During the past few years
the number of these dogs has been
increased because of their proven
ability to help run well-regulated

Actually the dog doesn't under

must continue to bark until another
