Blue Trout Is as CoIorfuI as It IS Delicious

|triumphantly home to be prepared
in the traditional manner.
In this country, however, you
viii probably depend upon iced
trout from the fish market-or, If
you are. lucky, some shipped you
by a friend fishing mountain
stream. In any event, your trout
won't be alive, so if you want it au
blue you'll have to resort to these
tactics:
One hour before serving, clean
the trout well, and draw a string
through the mouth and tail SO
that the fish forms circle. Dip
each fish into rapidly boiling vine

Life in the Country
It's Resolution Time on the Farm,
But They May Be Skipped This Year

The New Year is about to catch
me without a single resolution.
To be perfectly honest. I just
haven't had time to think about
resolutions-and even If I did
make a few. something would
come along and make me break
them.
I find In the country that you
are at the mercy of circumstances
and the elements.
What could I do, for example,
with q resolution that I would
keep my stables nice and clean
throughout the year. It wouldn't
be two days before there would
come a freeze or, even worse,
pouring rain, and there I would
be, right back where I started.
Or suppose, in the chill Of jan
uary, ! should resolve to work the
garden regularly next summer
and keep all the weeds from get
ting their inevitable start.
Just as sure as shooting, in
June we would have one Of those
Northern Virginia heat waves, and
where would I be? I can tell you
if you won't tell my wife-I1l be
right down beside the branch
under the elm tree.
Then, let's say. I swear on New
Years Day that I will never raise
my voice to one Of the cows,
calves or horses. What do you
think will happen?
After about q week, just when
I am feeling that I am pretty
good, the calf will jump through
the fence. There Is nothing like
a chase after q calf to make you
forget that you should be better
than you are.
Well, so much for resolutions.
I think I'll just let them 60 by
the board this time and continue
IN my OLD comfortable way OF lie.
y n X u
The first Of each year Is an
uncomfortable time for me. Seed
ing time is getting near and I'm
constantly reminded Of the things
that haven't been done. And
what is worse, I have to look at
my front field every day.
Late last summer I was going
to disc it so 1t could be seeded
to grass. Then 1t turned dry and
the ground got too hard. Then,
when II finally rained. 1t rained

So. where am I? Right back

recommended q 1852 EarSen1ng
program along the same pattern
as in 1851. They did not see any
reason for q high pressure drive
to encourage people to garden on
an intensive wartime scale. They
recognized that many families
need q garden to supplement In
comes and suggested that help
be made available to them. Also.
the committee deemed normal
gardening activities desirable be-
cause Of the morale-building
value. In times of stress and
strain. working in q garden is
Of inestimable value In offsetting
nervous tension. Nearly 21a mil
lion more families gardened In
1851 than in 1850, but the num-
Der was 3l2 million below the
peak Of 201a million during
World War II.
The committee deemed the
present emergency situation jus
tif1es planning and setting up, on
paper at least, a wartime garden
ing program, that could be
thrown into high gear should
conditions warrant, and enable
the home gardener and the be-
ginner to get going with the mini
mum Of time lost. The current
program works through the Fed
eral. State and county extension
workers who are in q position to
give advice to all. But these
leaders will not hold meetings
and encourage gardening, unless
a group requests cooperation.
The all-out program. should 1t
become necessary, will work
through Federal. State, and
County War Mobilization Com
mittees which will enlist every
available source Of help to get
the job done, because in such a
situation labor and transporta-
ton become bottlenecks that
should be relieved whenever pos
sible.
Under the present program
there will be shortages and sur
pluses and the home gardener
might well plan to fill in by SELL
ing his surpluses. He might also
take advantage Of local surpluses
to fill his needs from home can
ming and freezing. An adequate
supply of food in family storage
is most comforting. Few city
gardeners have sufficient space to
produce all that they need in the
way Of fresh vegetables for i'm
mediate use and for preserving.
The home harvests might better
be used for immediate consump-
ton to supply the maximum
benefit Of vitamins and minerals
to the family diet. (Note: There
are many who will maintain that
such freshly harvested fruits and
vegetables are the only ones At
for freezing)
The third recommendation Of
the committee was for q continu-
ing program Of aid to the gar
dener so that he may obtain the
enjoyment from his
home grounds - lawns, trees
shrubs, flowers and vegetable gar
den. It was suggested that morel
gardening be taught In the publicI
schools, that more guidance bel
made available, and that research
be expanded to meet the needs |
of Americas gardeners.

Farmers May List
Sales of Livestock
As Capital Assets

'fThtS material tDGS prepared
by DR.. William p. Walker, pro-
lessor OF agricultural economics.
and Arthur B. Hamilton. erten-
sion tdrn management special
tst, University of MaryldndJ
The principal amendment to
the Federal Revenue Act in 1851
affecting farmers concerns the
treatment of the sale Of livestock
fthat is, draft, breeding and dairy
animals.
Farmers are allowed, under Ger
tain circumstances, to report the
sale Of livestock as the sale of
capital assets rather than sale of
farm products as ordinary income.
In order to be treated as sales
OF capital assets, the animals sold
must meet certain requirements.
First, they must have been owned
by the farmer for at least III
months. Second, the animals
must have been held for draft,
breeding or dairy purposes. Third,
the animals cannot be those
which are primarily for sale in the
ordinary course of the farm
business.
These new requirements apply
for the tax business years begin
ming in 1851. However, the new
method of reporting sales of such
animals as capital assets is retro
active for all returns for the busi-
ness years 1948, 1949 and 1850. Itl
Is also retroactive back to 1912
under certain circumstances, inI
which case the taxpayer should
consult a local revenue agent.
Where retroactive years are in
volved the animals in question
must have been owned for only
six months or longer, instead of
IL months or longer.
Farmers who reported, in pre-
viouS years. gains from the sale
OF livestock as ordinary income
might wish to amend their pre-
vtouS returns in order to get the
tax reduction benefit possible un-
der the 1851 act, which treats the
sale of certain livestock as capital
asset sales. They may file amend
ed returns or make claims for
refunds.
Whether or not farmer is JUS
titled in claiming refunds underil
the new provisions of the law de-
pends largely upon the amount
and type of livestock sold. In
claim for refunds, the in
dividual's accounts will be re-
opened and. consequently, subject
to inspection. This means that {
records must be available to sub i
stantiate such claims. i
The 1851 Federal act states spe-
ciflcally that. beginning in 1851,
sales of poultry cannot be consid-
cred as sales of capital assets.
Since the tax rate applied to-
income from sales of capital assets 8
Is approximately one-half the rate )
on ordinary income for most farm !
ers, 1t is important that farmers {
report such income. Sales :
OF livestock as capital asset sales
are reported on Schedule D. rather
than on the Farm Schedule 1040-F.
The social security tax paid by
farmers on wages of farm workers
is business expense and should
be included in farm expenses.
Therefore in reporting farm ex-
penses, the wages paid dncluding
the IL per cent withheld from
the Worker) should be itemized
from the 1la per cent
tax paid by the employer. The
/ u per cent tax paid by the farm {
er should be reported under farm
expenses as social security tax on t
farm wages. II
