The Way of Wisdom, Proverbs 8:
Is; 4:l0-l5, Is, 10. Golden text,
Trust in the Lord with all thine
heart; and lean not unto thine
own understanding; In all thy ways
acknowledge Him and He shall
direct thy path. The golden text
of this lesson is an admonition
and a promise applied to the Lords
people in all ages and will apply
until and even through the ages
to come - the millennium. There
is no other way or course for any
servant of God than to trust in
the Lord with all thine heart"

Conservation Districts
Hold State Convention

In the resolutions drawn up at the
convention it was urged that 100000 in
additional funds be made available for
research projects for soil and water
conservation being conducted by the
Agricultural Research Service and land
grant colleges.
The delegates asked that the Water
sheds Protection and Flood Prevention
Act be amended ''to permit both federal
financial and technical assistance in
making beneficial uses of flood water
prior to giving consideration to struc-
lures for flood prevention" The reso-
luton acknowledged the fact that struc-
lures are needed to control flood water
in excess of irrigation requirements,
but pointed out that in the semi-arid
West, where water is in short supply,
irrigation needs should be given pri-
mary consideration.
1t was requested that the state legis-
lature appropriate funds for the hiring
of full time secretary for the State
Soil Conservation committee, which
''haS been given additional responsible
ity, especially in connection with the
Watershed Protection Program"
Opposition was voiced to the recon-
mendation that the programs of the
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-12-15

Federal Soil Conservation Service be
transferred to the various states on a
grant-in-aid basis. The resolution stated
that many states, including Montana,
are already unable to meet other grants,
maid obligations, sucn as highway con-
struction, and that national administra-
ton was necessary to realize high
standard of achievement in all 48 states.
Other resolutions called for closer
cooperation by the state in a program

ADDITIONAL FUNDS for research,
amendment of the Watersheds Protec-
ton and Flood Prevention Act and
state funds for teaching the conserva-
ton of natural resources were among
the resolutions adopted by more than
200 delegates of the Montana Associa-
ton of Soil Conservation Districts,
meeting in their annual convention in
Butte Nov. %, 80 and Dec. 1.
Ted Pettyjohn, Sand Coulee. was
elected president of the group. He has
previously served two terms as vice
president. Other officers for the coming
year are Ray Kimball, Hysham, vice
president; Rex Campbell, Bozeman,
Montana State College extension conser-
vationist, secretary, R. c. Setterstrom,
Butte, treasurer; and Earl Dubois,
Stanford, executive committeeman.
Pettyjohn, Kimball and Dubois will
also serve on the board of directors.

income for the year. If costs exceed IS
per cent, the remainder can be carried
into the next years income. Deductions
may be made of costs Of building dams,
leveling, grading, building bitches, re-
moving brush, planting windbreaks, etc.
Returns from involuntary sale or dis
pOsal of livestock because of disease
are taxable only to the extent that they
exceed the cost of purchasing replace
ments. That is if gain from compensa-
ton or sale of an animal is $10O and
cost of replacement. is $1OO there would
be no tax, but if cost of replacement
was only SIS, the difference would be
taxable.
Dependent earning over $500 can still
be claimed as dependent and $500 eX-
emption taken if the child is under 10
or if he is any age and is attending
school or college full time at least S
months of the calendar year and the
parent is contributing more than so per
cent of the child's support. Thus son
might earn 5000, for example, during
the summer. He could still be claimed
as an exemption if the parent contrib
uted more than 5000 to his support.
The son would, of course, have to pay
income tax on his earnings.
Deductions for medical expenses may
now be made on all amounts over 8
per cent of adjusted gross income
formerly per cent?. Costs of drugs
and medicine must be kept separately,
as these can be included in medical
expenses only to the extent that they
exceed per cent of the adjusted gross
income.
There is no limit on medical expense
deductions for husband and wife if
either is over IS.
Limit on charitable contributions is
still 20 per cent of adjusted gross In
come. But an additional 10 per cent car
be given to schools, churches and hos
pitfalls. Thus total overall deduction
could be 80 per cent.
Consider giving property instead o.
cash. For instance if a radio that cos
$50 but is worth $3.50 is given to church
to sell, a $150 deduction may be takel
and no $1OO gain considered.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-12-15
Keep in Mind These e.
Income Tax Changes

HERE IS A brief review of some of
the major changes in the income tax
law which affect the farm and ranch
operator in making out his tax report
for 1854.
New deadIine on filing-Deadline for
filing final return has been extended
to April Is, 1855. However, farmers and
ranchers must still file their estimates
by. Jan. Is, 1855, or, if they do not
usually file estimates, they may file
a final return by Feb Is, 1855.
Faster depreciation - Farmers and
ranchers now have their choice of sew
eral methods of taking depreciation on
new machinery purchased since Dec.
81, 1858, or facilities and buildings con-
structed since that date.
1. Straight-line depreciation method
same as in the past.
2. Observation-Disclosures method.
Determine straight-line rate and double
this for the first years depreciation.
Example: If the original cost of an
item is $1,000 and the useful life is 10
years, the annual depreciation is $500
or 10 per cent. The double-declining- bal
ance rate would be 20 per cent. Thus
the first year depreciation would be
$500. The second year it would be 20
per cent of $500 or $3.50. The third year
it would be 20 per cent of $640 and so
on. Since this can go and on to ever
smaller amounts, you are permitted
to change to the straight-line method to
recover the total cost.
8. Sum of the years digits meth
cd. Again if the original cost of an item
is $1,000 and the useful life 10 years,
the sum of the years digits q+2+3+4+5
+6+7+8+9+10) equals SIS. The deprecia-
ton the first year would be 1885 Of
$1,000 or $182 The next year it would
be 9/55 of $1,000 or $164, and so on.
4. Any other consistent method may
be used as long as it doesn't result in {
faster rate of depreciation for the frs
ss of life expectancy than would be pro
vided by the Observation-Disclosures
method.

now be made the same as for seed O.
