MORE FOREST FUNDS

USDA's Forest Service this year
has 500, OOO-0r $500, 900 more than
Iast-fOr cooperative range inn
prOvement ON government land.
That amount is 21z times more than
the $3.50, 1000 department had asked
for the work.
Congress refused to go along with the
USDA argument that the fund should
be sharply cut because estate and local
agencies and individuals should assume
q greater share of the financial re-
sponsibility."
The money will be spent on construc-
ton and maintenance of fences. water
developments, stock trails and roads,
for eradication of poisonous plants, etc.
ALLEGATIONS, as directed in the Granger
Thye Act, are to be made on the basis
of animal numbers that ranged on ma
tionaI forest lands last year.
In testifyirg before Congress recently,
Edward P. Cliff, Assistant Chief of the
Forest Service. put it this way:
"a little over year ago" he said,
eve revised our policy on handling
range-improvement work on the ma
tionaI forests, and we have written
into our policy greater assurance that
the people who spend their private
funds improving national forest ranges
will receive any benefit of increased
grazing capacity that accrues from
those improvements. That is now a
firm policy end we are getting con-
siderable amount of cooperation from
the users. We are not getting it every
place we need it. A lot of the people
who would like to cooperate are finan-
cia1Iy unable to do so, the small permit
tees, in particular. !"

81 MINIMUM WAGE

A new minimum wage of 81
looked like sure thing as this issue
went to press. Although farm ena-
pIOyers are not required to pay the
minimum wage, the 25 cent-per-
hour increase for industrial workers
will make farm hands harder 20
come by, say farm leaders here.
Both Senate and House have now APP
proved the ST. minimum, refusing to go
along with the Administration request
for more modest boost from rs cents
to go cents Fer hour. Only difference
between the two houses was when the
higher wage should take effect. House
set the date at next March 1; Senate,
next Jan. 1.
A new dollar minimum would mean
wage increases for some million work
ers. Most of the "a million covered by
the law already earn more than the
floor wage, but many of these viii be
raised above present earnings to main
tain salary differentials.
Most farm groups have opposed any
increase in the minimum A dollar wage
floor, said spokesman for the National
Council of Farmer Co-operatives,
Eventually could raise farm produc-
ton costs by close to $21k billion" with
about $3.50 million of that amount find
ing its way back to the farm due to
added food consumption.

There is already another quiet
build up in Washington looking
toward trade with Russia and other
countries behind the iron curtain.
Some officials hitherto skepticaI
about doing business with Russia
are changing their minds. The big
reasons are these:
ID The prospects for an all-time rec
ord U.S. farm output this year when
warehouses already are bullying with
surpIuses-and the trouble this could
mean to the COP in the campaign next
year. Sales of us. SURPRISES TO Russia
might make a considerable dent n
government holdings.
(2) Secondly, there are the recent
negotiations of the great powers 10

uaI war between the, us. and Russia.
Trade talks can be expected to follow
the recent political negotiations. Among
other signs indicating that international
relations may improve was the recent
exchange between this country and
Russia OF farm delegations.

Many taxpayers cheat them
selves on their personal exemp-
tions. OF course, there are others
who get into trouble by claiming
too many exemptions like the
cowboy who claimed an exemp-
ton for his horse because he low
ed him like a brother.
The rules for taxpayers own
exemptions are the same this year
as last year, but the new tax law
has made it easier to get exemp-
tions for dependents.
Your own Exemptions
Here's how to count your ex-
emptions leach one takes 5000 off
your taxable income):
One exemption for yourself, two
if you are 65 or over, two if you
are blind, three if you are both
65 and blind. The same applies to
your husband or wife.
If your husband or wife died
during 1854 you can file a joint
return claiming the exemptions in
cluding those for age or blindness,
to which the deceased would have
been entitled at the time of death.
Exemptions for Dependents
One exemption of $500 can be
taken for each person who fits
the definition of a dependent. This
$500 is not doubled for age or
blindness, as in the case of your
personal exemption.
To count for an exemption, the
dependent must:
l. Have less than $500 gross in
come for 1854 Except that under
the new law this does not apply
to your child if he is under 19 or
is a full-time student).
2. Have received more than half
his support from you. (New Law:
Do not include scholarships in fig
uring total cost of support. The
dependent may also qualify even
though no one person furnished
more than half of his support. If
a group of persons who would
otherwise be able to claim the de-
pendent contributed more than
half, any member of the group
who contributed at least 1870 may
claim the dependent if all others
who contributed 1919 or more
have signed a declaration that
they will not claim the deduction.)
3. Not file a joint return with
her husband (or his wife).
