oil reserves will be found to depths

give their nitrogen back to the soil and to the crop, but this
may take several months, especially if the weather is dry.
Therefore, nitrogen starvation may be avoided by allowing
enough time for the original tissue to be broken down before
planting. It can also be avoided by applying additional nitro
gen when turning under the material or when planting the
crop. The amount Of nitrogen to apply depends largely on
the amount Of organic matter, and how far rotting has gone
lat the time.
For the small acreage vegetable grower and the home
gardener, the compost pile may be used to provide well-rotted
organic matter. This may be freely applied to the soil with
out any danger Of causing nitrogen starvation. The mainte-
nance of soil organic matter along with the wise use Of che
mical fertilizers and enough moisture can insure excellent
yields from soils Of average fertility.

ORGANIC MATTER AND SOIL FERTILITY

Other things being equal, the fertility Of a soil depends
to alarge extent on the quantity of animaland vegetable mat
ter it contains. This organic matter may be said to have tour
general effects on the soil: % It increases the capacity Of
the soil Il. take in and hold water and plant foods. Well del
composed organic matter will hold seven Or eight times as
much water as an equal weight of sand, and four times as
much as an ordinary clay. Chemical fertilizers applied to-
land Well-supplied with organic matter last longer, because
very little is washed out by water seeping through the soil
~ Organic matter improves the physical condition Of the
soil. Al sandy soil is made more compact and a sticky clay

terra change minerals that plants can't use into forms that
they can. az It IS a direct source of plant foods. Much Of the
soil PHOSPHORUS is in organic form. Organic plant nutrients
are made slowly but steadily available to the growing plants
The organic matter Of the soil may be divided into three
general froms: I'D Fresh plant matter, ~ Partially decom-
posed material. and 90 Hunlus, or decomposed matter. The
fresh remains Of plants an daninals that inhabit the soil a-
cumulate under natural conditions. 1t is worked over by mi
croscopic plants and animal within the soil, becoming, in
turn, partially decomposed material, and then humus. When
you cultivate land, the organic matter of the soil is used up
faster and when you harvest a crop, you are removing a lot
of organic matter from the field. To keep the soil productive,
the amount Of organic matter must be kept high. This is the
ganic matter is destroyed or removed, it must be replaced.
The farmer can maintain the organic matter content of
his soil by heavy applications Of pen manures, by growing

Your Maryland Tax
Your Maryland Tax
Exemptions Very Importont
And Many Situations Apply
Lost Of d Series.

~ me ASsoeidted Press
ANNAPOLIS. April 10.-n you
think you've already paid enough
income taxes this year-too bad.
The Maryland deadline is April
is.
Many Of the 100000 expected
to file haven't been heard from
yet.
Even If you moved into the
State on the last day of 1853,
you're subject to the levy. The
Court Of Appeals has upheld this
requirement. You may. however.
deduct income taxes due another
State.
The system is similar to that
OF the Federal Government.
The gross income you report
is the same for both.
The Matter Of Exemptions.
Personal exemptions for State
purposes are $1,000 for you and
your wife or husband. If you use
the short Optional method on
form 500, the allowance is
worked out in the tax tables on
page 2.
Each dependent gives you a
$500 credit, which mounts to a
$12 savings. These must. be
itemized in either the short or
long (regular) return.
Other differences in exemp-
tons and dependent credits are:
On the short form. Maryland
doesn't consider you married UNI
less the ceremony was performed
by July l. With the long form,
you may claim an exemption for
your wife or husband in proper
ton to the number of months
you were married.
Dependents are defined In the
instructions. When prorating
dependents and personal exemp-
tons. the system Is on a monthly
basis, with more than Is days
constituting a month.
If you had a dependent for six
months. for example, 1t would
mean a credit Of $3OO-$5O a
month. Dependents must be
close relatives. Anyone who
earned more than $500 during
the year or received less than
half his support from you does
not qualify.
Each personal exemption dou.
bles to $4,000 for persons at
least IS years old and those who
are blind or near blind. Depen-
dency credits also double to
81 200 for persons IS or older.
The head of a family" also
may claim one dependent as a
personal exemption and take off
the full $4,000. That dependent
must then be excluded from the
$500 deductions. A widower rear
ing children is a typical head
of the family"
Annuity Income Taxable.
Annuity income also is tax
able. but only 3 per cent Of the
cost for a number of years. For
example. if you bought an an
nuity for $4,000 at the age Of
so, you may receive something
like $500 a year. Only $500 g
per cent of 100000 is taxable.
You would be charged on only
$500 each year until the accum-
ulated balances of the annuity

Gin this case $500 total the cost
Of the $4,000 investment.
Then you would have to pay
on all $500.
Money you receive on a pen
sion escapes any tax until after
the benefits match the sum you
contributed. Then it's taxed at
2 per cent.
Benefits from q life insurance

Man With q Plan

Every one, these days, is concerned
with taxes and tax reform. The PreSi-
dent and his Secretary of the Treasury
often speak in terms of each individ-
ual's fair share of the cost of Govern
ment. May I offer few ideas along
these lines that many people, believe,
would indorse?
To begin with, we should be taxed
only on the money we earn, either
through our labor or our investments.
To be taxed on what we do with our
income is wrong. 1t is an intrusion On
our freedom-our freedom to spend
what we earn the way we please with
out being penalized.
Why is the illogical tax structure,
created ages ago. allowed to continue?
Why don't our Federal and local legis-
latures revise the tax laws so that we
are freed of the taxes that are really
unfair? I don't say eliminate taxes
taxes are necessary for all our good.
But the way taxes ARE levied results
often in so many paying more than
their fair share of the burden.
Some might argue that taxes on in
come only would make the rates so
high that they would scare you out of
your wits. say, that's more reason
for such taxation. We would know ex-
actly how much we pay in taxes. The
more we made the more we would pay
Would this not be just? Many people.
like the widow. would be more fairly
taxed. We would with one fell blow,
make it possible to spend our money
