AIternatives In
Filing Farm Tax
Listed By Barnes

Only changes in farmers income
tax this year are the rates, accord
ing to L. I'll. Barnes, agricultural
extension service economist.
So if your gross income this year
amounts to $500 or more, if two
thirds of that income was from
farming and if your business year
starts Jan. /, Barnes said you have
two choices:
Either file your return and pay
the tax on or before Jan 81, 1851,
or file an estimate of your tax and
pay this amount by Jan. IS, 1851,
then file your return and pay any
balance due by March 15."
If the business year does not
start Jan. /, the return can be
filed and the tax paid on or before
the last day of the first month of
the following taxable year. An
other alternative for farmers
whose business year does not start
Jan. /, is to file an estimate with
in 15 days and a return within 2R
months after the end of the bus
mess year.
Barnes advised farmers to keep
a copy of all returns filed. That
means they will want two copies
of each of these forms: 1040 F;
Schedule D.; 1040 and the in
struction pamphlet that goes with
it; 1040 ES; 1899 and 1896. These
forms can be obtained from banks,
postoffices or the collector of in
ternal revenue.
Form 1040 F is to summarize in
come and expenses and to con-
pute profits. Schedule I'D" is to
show gains and losses from sales
of property used in the business.
Farm profit from 1040 F goes
on form 1040 along with other in
come items and personal deduc-
tions. Form 1040 is also used to
figure the tax due.
Barnes advised that the instruc-
ton pamphlet should be carefully
and read since it is not a duplica-
ton for any information farmers
obtain in the rest of their tax ma
terials but is an aid to under
standing.
Tax estimates are declared on
form 1040 Els and so it is not
needed if a farmer wishes to file
his return and pay his tax before
the last day of the first month of
the succeeding tax year. Wages
of more than $500 to individual la
borers are reported on forms 1899
and 1896.
The economist said all this in
formation and more is available
through county agricultural extern
sion agents.
Barnes said farmers would find
the Ohio Farm Record Book help
full in preparing tax returns. He
advised getting the record book
now to use next year. These books
are also available through county
agents.

at Wooster. Borst suggests con-
servation planning to make prof
liable use of winter days.
Row crops cause most erosion
on sloping land. AS these crops
move to new fields, size up the
land and plan to keep the soil
at home while growing the crop,
Borst advises.
An easy conservation practice
on gentle slopes is to run the rows
across or counter to the major
slope. Each row then offers re-
sistance to the down-slope sweep
of run-off rainfall. On wen drain
soils, make rows as nearly level
or contoured as possible, con-
tinues Borst. On soils with heavy
and tight subsoils, rows should
be given some slope or terraces
may be used.
On any long slope, it is wise
to break the length Of slope with
some intercepting shallow water
way put in across the slope with
just enough grade to carry water
off at a low velocity. Such a
waterway may be either a TRACE
or division, says Borst.
On medium and sleeper slopes,
it is wise to alternate cross-slope
trips of cultivated crops with
strips of grass or meadow crops.
Meadow strips lose no soil them
selves. Instead. they decrease run
off flowing down the slope into

"The Cancer Danger sianals'

"The Cancer Danger Signals"
Cancer is the second greatest
cause of death in this country.
And while the scientists are busy
looking for ways to stop this kill
er, there IS something we, the or
binary people can do to save cur
selves. Discovered early enough,
and given chance to treat it be-
fore it spreads, doctors can cure
many cases.
Everyone should learn the can
Ger danger signals and go to a
doctor as soon as any of them
appears. Better yet, why wait for
one of them to appear? REG
ULAR medical examinations will
give doctor, who knows more
about these signs, a chance to see
for himself that something is
wrong.
Here are the danger signals
Remember, they do not neceSsar-
lily mean cancer. They mean that
something is wrong and needs fur
ther investigation. But just IN case
they turn out to be cancer, it
means that treatment can be start
ed at once and another life saved.
I. Any sore that does not heal
particularly about the tongue,
mouth or lips. Do not pass it off
as nothing at all" Go TO the
doctor.
2. A painless lump or thickening
especially in the breast, lip or
tongue. DO not wait to "see what
happens. Go to the doctor.
3. Irregular bleeding or dis
charge from any natural body
opening. Do not wait for pain.
Go to the doctor.
a. Progressive change in the col
or or size of a wart, mole or birth
mark. Do not try salves or oint-
ments. Go to the doctor.
S. Persistent indigestion. Do not
wait for loss of weight. Don't re-
ly on bicarbonate of soda. Go to
the doctor.
6. Any change in the normal
bowel habits. Do not attempt to
diagnose yourself. Go to the doc
tor.
z. Persistent hoarseness, unex-
planned cough, or difficulty in
swallowing. Do not assume that
it is due to smoking or some
other form of irritation which will
clear up. Go to the doctor.
Remember, cancer rarely de-
velops without giving some kind
of warning. Know your own body
and try to recognize when some
thing is wrongs
Remember, pain is usually a
late symptom, so don't wait un-
til something begins to hurt be-
fore doing something about it,
Remember, where cancer is
concerned, delay is always dan
gerous.

World Food Gains Small
In lq50-5I, RAO Reports

WASHINGTON Although
world food production has in
creased during the last year, the
total food supply for 1950-51 is
likely to be only slightly better
quantity and nutritive value than
in the preceding year. This in
formation was released here by
the Food and Agriculture Organ
ization of the United Nations
(FAO) in report entitled
World Outlook and State of Food
and Agriculture-1950
The increase in crop produc-
ton will barely keep pace with
population growth. Increases in
the output of meat and livestock
products may be somewhat great
er than for crops. Fish produc-
ton may be curtailed.
All in all, world food supplies
will be somewhat larger but there
may be no gain of consequence in
some of the regions where inn
provements is needed most.
Levels of economic activity i'm
most countries will be higher in
1950-51 than in 194o-50, the re-
port says. With expanding en-
ployment, income and purchasing
power, the demand for farm, for
estry and fisheries products will
continue generally high and ris-
ing, except possibly in the Near
East and the far East. With very
limited increases in production,
the demand for food and agricul-
ture products will tend to run
ahead of supply in most areas.
Viewing the supply and demand
situations together, it is clear that
prices will continue to rise, and
problems of diStribution naay re-
appear, and the report warns that
Governments may have to take
steps to prevent the Withholding
of products from regular channels
and to assure the equitable dis
tribution of foodstuffs to consum-
ers at reasonable prices.
In Canada and the United States
prospects are for about the same
size of wheat crop as last year
Maize production is expected to be
slightly smaller than last years
bumper crop, while a substantial
reduction in cotton production il
! anticipated.
Combined food supplies for con.
sumption per person will be some
what larger than last year. With
increased industrial activity, de.
mand for agricultural products
both domestically produced anc
imported, will continue to increase
supported by expanding defense
expenditures, and will be signifi.
cantly higher in 1949-51 and 1851
So than in 1880, FAC reports
In Western Europe, conditions
are generally favorable for gooc
grain and sugar crops this year
and for higher production of meat
and livestock products, through
meat output viii still fall befine
prewar levels. Demand for farm
products and farmers income viii
probably continue to rise, witt

controls or government SUBSIDIES.
Regarding Eastern Europe and
the Soviet Union, the report points
out that in spite of the severe
drought damage to the 1850 maize
crop in the Danbue basin, agricul-
tural production as a whole is
likely to show an increase over
last year. With the exception of
Hungary, Runania and Yugo-
slavia, farmers real income seems
likely to increase in 1950-51.
In Latin America, expanding
agricultural production should
keep pace with the rapid growth
of population, but consumption
levels per person will probably
show little increase in 1950-51.
The report indicates that the
expansion of domestic markets
may absorb the increasing farm
outputs in most Latin American
countries, with a good income for
farmers and possibly rising prices
for Consumers. Countries largely
dependent on exports to dollar
areas will benefit from the rising
import demands of North America
and continued demands for non
dollar foodstuffs and raw mate
riaIs may encourage an expansion
of production for export from
Argentina and other South Ameri-
can countries.
Prospects for food production
are better in African areas which
were affected by drought last
year. Generally throughout the
region, production of food crops
for domestic markets expands
slowly, largely because of con-
tsRued sgaphasaG on production OF
cash crops for exports.
In the Near East, agricultural
supplies in 1950-51 are likely to
be larger, with an improved har-
vest of most crops particularly
cereals. Farm prospects for pro-
duction and income are brighter
in Turkey and Israel, according
to the FAC report.
Barring further unfavorable
weather, crop production in the
Far East may increase slightly
but any anticipated increase
would leave per capita food sup.
plies below the prewar level Re-
ported midsummer floods in China
however, indicated that improve
ment, if any, in wheat, rice ano
secondary crops, win be less thar
expected. The probable loss of {
substantial part of the Korean
rice crop will create a serious
shortage in that country beside:
wiping out any possible export
able surplus such as Korea ilat
last year. Better prospects may bt
expected, however, for industria
and agricultural activity and in
come in the Indian subcontinent
Indonesia and Japan.
Finally, the FAC reports says
that in Oceania agricultural pro
duction is likely to continue high

10 days with four row cultivator.
An overhead sprinkling system is
used about every 10 days, the water
being pumped from the Flathead
river. The expense for this irriga-
ton comes to about $117 year.
Endives make a full, leafy growth
from 11s to feet high. Some of the
finest of the plants are kept for seed,
which was formerly imported from
Belgium.
Growth Forced in Cellars
In September the endives are
plowed up and the leafy tops cut off
about an inch from the stock. The
leaves are plowed under for fertilizer
and the roots are taken to cellars or
forcing houses where they are
planted close together in beds, and
covered to depth of about inches
with fine, black soil.
Only part of the roots are planted
at this time, the rest being placed
in crates made of stats and kept in
the cellars to be planted later when
requirements are necessary in the
beds. The temperature is kept at so
to SIS degrees.
In four or five weeks the endives
are ready to be cut from the roots
and prepared for shipment. The
roots, which are very bitter, are fed
to livestock. The endives are cleaned
and packed in 5-pound boxes and re-
frigerated before shipment.

What Caused This Hole?
Crater or Cavern?
By JESSE GREEN

The draft from a cavern will be
either in or out, depending upon the
difference in atmospheric pressure
in the cavern and on the outside.
Test Would Be Easy
If there were enough incentive the
cavern could easily be located by
drilling at little slope in the outer
edge at the bottom of the meteor
hole, that is, by giving the drill
enough slope to miss the pile of
rocks below "B" in the cavern. The
depth to be drilled Is not evident,
and may be a considerable distance.
1t may be expected, however, that
the height of the room in the cavern
is somewhat less than the depth of
the meteor hole "a" AS the material
in the hole fell into the room it
spread out as in the column ''B,"
which would not have total height
equal to the depth of the hole.

The Van Akens feel they cannot
compete with the eastern markets as
they are supplied directly from Bel
gium with expressage of only cent

per pound from Montana to New
York Also, they have markets for
all they can raise.
Average As Cents
Most of the product is sold through
jobbers, but many private orders are
received, especially for Christmas
gifts. The Great Northern Railway
Co. has a standing order for endive
for their dining cars. The price aver

The marketing time for French en-
dive is from November and Decen-
Der to about the first of June. En-
dives when ready for market are
about inches long and about 115
inches at the base, cone shaped, and
creamy white with closely folded
leaves.
Connoisseurs who have eaten the
imported endives and the Montana
grown have a decided preference for
the Montana product.
It is said there are only five or
six places in the United States where
French endive is grown, and White
