known. It's another reason why
the Eisenhower administration
needs a BRASS BAND and a
BUGLE CARPS to tell the public
what is going on.
Mr.. Summerfield happens to be
one of those businessmen whom
the New Deal-Fair Deal column
lists and commentators hold up to
ridicule but he has a rever-
ence for the taxpayers dollar. This
is something that Summerfield
learned to respect a dollar by
working his way up as a real
estate salesman, and oil distributor
and as owner of one of the largest
automobile sales companies in the
nation.
When he took over his present
job he found that the Post Office
Department had drowSed on for
20 years in its own Sleepy Hollow
sort Of like modern Rip Van
Wrinkle while the world had
raced on. He could hardly believe
when he looked at the books Of
his department that the postal de-
ficit since 1885 amounted to more
than all the money that Henry
Wallace and his successors as Sec
rotary of Agriculture had spent
for the farm price support pro-
gram.
Another thing which startled
Mr.. Summerfield was. to use his
own words, I'VE found no certified
public accountant in this vast
money handling organization"
That is astounding when one con-
siders that the post office estab-
llshmeent is the largest federal
commercial-type enterprise with
expenses of over So billion per
year employing more than
100000 people and involving
business transaction from post
age sales, money orders. postal
savings and the like OF more than
$40 billion annually.
Well, how did Mr.. Summerfield
save 81 million day? He did two
things: First, he raised postal
rates on all classes of mail that he
could increase without obtaining
Congressional action. On rates that
require Congressional action. he

Your Maryland Tex
By the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS. Md, April o.
What's the problem most Mary
1anderS encounter in making out
State income tax returns?
Failure to read the instruc-
tions, says Benjamin F. Marsh,
chief of the Income Tax Divi-
sion.
He put his finger on the two
problems his Office most often
encounters in double-checking
the returns.
Many persons using the short
(optionaD form take off per-
Sonal exemptions, even though
the instructions clearly point out
that the tax tables used in this
computation make allowance for
personal credits.
In filling out the long (regu-
lar) form, many persons sub
tract the $500 on Line Is, Page
3, even though they have no
investment income. The deduc-
ton is allowed only so persons
having investment income can
have the first $500 computed at
2 per cent rather than the 5 per
cent charged over that amount.
On the long form, standard
deductions on Line 9, Page 3.
also cause some confusion with
persons filing joint returns. The
standard deduction of 10 per
cent, with a limit of $500, Marsh
says, should be figured on each
individual income.
Another problem encountered
each year is the failure of per-
sons to list properly on Line A
of the first page the County and
municipality in which they re-
side.
The reason this is so impor-
tant is that part of the money
collected reverts back to local
governments in proportion to the
amount paid by the County tax
payer. thus helping to keep down
local taxes. The reversion should
total about $40 million this year.
For example, some persons in
Baltimore County get their mail

through the Baltimore City post
Office, but they are still residents
Of the County. Others who live

mail through the Westminster

County.
Get your return off, with the
tax you owe, by April Is. Mail
it to the Controller of the
Treasury. Income Tax Division,
State Office Building. Annapolis.
The CONTROLLER says don't send
cash by mail. Checks and money
orders should be made payable
to the Controller of the Treas
ury.
You can use the quarterly pay
ment system, with the INSTALL
ments due the 18th of April,

The State would rather have
the payment in full, since only
the first installment can be
used as revenue for the current

SpeI+ Finds Place On
Great Many Farms

Some northern Ohio farmers
seed spelt in the Fall where they
have trouble getting oats seeded
early in the Spring, according to
Earl Jones. The Ohio State Uni
versity extension agronomist says
Ira Lee, Huron County dairy
farmer, has grown spelt for 10
years and is well pleased with his
results.
In a 6-year Michigan test, oats
yielded 1016 pounds of grain,
while spelt yielded 1892 pounds.
Wheat yielded 1142 pounds in the
same test. Spelt is about equal to
a t s in feeding value and as a
meadow companion crop. It's bet
ter h a wheat as a companion
crop.
Spelt should be seeded the same
time and the same ways as wheat,
the specialist says. Use 6 to 8
pecks of e d and 400 to 600
pounds of fertilizer per acre. 1t is
attacked by Hessian Fly, just as
wheat is, so Jones urges farmers
to observe fly-safe dates if they
SEED s1elt.
Spelt seed often contains a large
amount of cheat. Seed cleaning
will remove cheat. Jones said Ira
Lee got good seed to start and
now grows his own.
