YOUR
INCOME
TAX
BY FRANCIS J. KELLY
AP NeWsfeatures Writer

WASHINGTON-It may pay you
to itemize your non-business de-
ductions on your federal income
tax return, instead of taking the
standard 10 per cent allowance
based on your income.
A comparison of the tax COM
puted under each system certain
ly is in order if you paid out a lot
of interest on a home mortgage.
or incurred heavy medical or
hospital bills.
The government neither wants
nor expects you to pay more than
the minimum tax due, honestly
figured.
You can itemizc deductions
only if you use long-form 104O.
Otherwise you are automatically
given a credit of about 10 per
cent of your income.
The principal allowable deduc-
tions are state and local taxes;
interest paid; contributions to
religious, charitable and educa-
tional organization property loss
es by fire, storm or theft; and
- under strict limitations - some
medical, dental, hospital and
nursing expenses.
Limits on Contributions
Contributions to religious, char
liable and educational organiza-
tions are deductible only up to
20 per cent of your income. You
don't get anything off your tax
bill for gifts to needy individuals,
or to political organizations, or
labor unions, or chamber of COM
merce.
You can deduct for real estate
and personal property taxes, state

Seed termination
Range Emphasized
For Planting

Unusual spreads between high
and low termination of hybrid
seed corn this year make good
corn practices absolutely neces-
sary' according to the assistant
secretary of the Ohio Seed I'm
provement Association.
Clark Eberle says, Some corn
is falling below the standard of
80 percent termination. Many
grades, however, are terminating
well above 80 percent. This is the
first time there has been such a
spread in this state for many
years."
The situation is so unusual, the
association plans to use a special
tag for seed corn that is below
standard termination. The regu-
lar certification tag will identify
seed of standard termination.
The special tag simply will give
farmers more information about
seed they buy" Eberle points out.
Farmers should use all the infor-
nation they can obtain because of
the unusual situation"
Practices that will pay are plant
ing in well-prepared seed bed
when soil temperature and mois-
ture conditions are right; planting
at the rate your land will support
use of fertilizer and weed-control.
Eberle says farmers who plant
that has less than 80 percent ger
mination will find these practices
especially helpful.
From Is to 25 percent of the
seed tested to date is below 80 per-
cent termination. Eberle blames
the early freeze in October and
the dry growing season last year
for the spread between germina-
ton percentages.
TT could be benefit in dis
guise," he adds. Farmers who
pay strict attention to their prac-
ices could get top yields next fall.
For example, it's a good idea
to plant seed that is below stand
ard termination a little thicker.
Many farmers don't plant thick
enough now"

cost of travel suggested by a
doctor for rest or change; or fun
eral expenses, or life insurance
premiums.
IF you itemize your deductions
on long-form 1040, you can take
off your income any property loss
es by fire, storm, flood, etc. Loss
sustained in a car accident caused
by faulty driving is deductible,
but drunken driving is considered
willful negligence, and no deduc-
ton is allowed.
Insurance Modifies Loss
No deduction may be claimed if
the loss is compensated for by in
surance. If partially covered by
insurance, the amount of the de-
duction is reduced accordingly.
The law requires you to report
as income any winnings you may
have on the races, poker and
other forms of gambling. But
gambling losses may not be de-
Quoted in excess of gambling
winnings.
Alimony or separate mainte-
nance payments made under a
court decree may be deducted. So
may union dues, (as distinguished
from gifts to unions) and amounts
spent entertaining customers. De-
spite protests of many working
mothers, the wages paid nurse
maid are not deductible, even
though her presence in the home
enables the parent to work.
If you keep securities in a safe
deposit box, you can deduct the
rental cost. You can't, however,
if it is used only for jewelry, in
surance policies and mementoes.
