Some Timely Hints
For Dairy Farmers
Tax Relief Can Be Obtained In
Some Instances

Last week Extension Dairyman
Delmar j. Young of the University
of Delaware suggested emergency
measures which dairy farmers
might adopt to carry on operations
during present drought conditions.
Today the Wilmington District
of the Internal Revenue Service
called attention to a provision of
the Internal Revenue Code which
grants tax relief in the event dairy
men and others are compelled to
dispose of all or part Of their live
stock.
Under Section 1893 (f) of the
Code. added in 1856, the forced sale
of livestock used for draft, breed
ing, or dairy purposes because of
drought is an involuntary conver-
sion on which no gain is recog-

Most critical problem right now
is roughage, Young emphasized.
There is no permanent pasture and
very little supplementary pasture
available. Here are the main alter
natives the dairy specialist recon-
mends for roughage supply:
l. Feed whole or chopped green
corn stover or fodder from the
field, supplementing it with to
10 pounds of hay per COW to keep
up the butterfat test.
2. Feed silage-last years, this
springs, or new silage made from
drought-damage corn. Supplement
