more desirable problem of a sizeable
increase in your 1858 income. re-
verse this procedure - delay ex-
penses and speed-up income if you
can
Timing income and deductions to
gain a tax advantage is not too
difficult for the millions of tax
payers who file ieturns on the basis
Of cash receipts and cash disburse-
ments. Cash basis" business and
professional men can shift income
by simply delaying or speedingLp
the collection of accounts receivable
near the end of the year Statesmen
and contractors can do the same
thing by extending or closing deals
that may be pending in November
or December
Farmers who operate on a cash
basis can accelerate or postpone in
come by proper timing of the sales
OF their crops or livestock. While
their income will be taxable in the
year cash is received. the full costs
of raising crops or cattle are de-
ductible for the year in which the
costs were paid.
Special Income Situations
There are special situations in
which ii can be advantageous to
bunch income in a single tax year.
For example. a husband and wife
can file a joint return to gain the
benefits of income-splitting Should
one of them die. the survivor may
file a joint return for the year in
which the spouse died and also for
two succeeding years under certain
conditions Thus. widow or
widower may profit by throwing
more income into this year and less
into next if his or her spouse died
in 1855. since the privilege of filing
a joint return will be lost in all
cases in 1858.
If you are planning to be married
in 1858. remember that the income
splitting privileges you gain will
act like a rate cut for you. AT
$1,000 of income. your taxes will be
$240 less than if you were single.
assuming that you take the stand
ard deduction and claim only ex-
emptions for you and your wife.
For this reason. young couples plan
ming marriage might consider post
poning income from 1857 to 1858.
while accelerating deductions from
1858 to 1857.

careless punching of income in

bite of today's progressive tax rates

tential in later life. A community
never rises above the level of the
quality of schools it provides fol-
its youth.
American Education Week came
into being as a yearly reminder to
all citizens of the need for more
and better education for more and
more American youth.
Unfortunately we cannot oper-
ate a successful educational pro
gram without money. Prudent men
in education know that they must
invest money in education if they
are to expect adequate returns in
terms of we'll trained future citi-
zens. Like any other business the
cost of education has been affected
by initiation, competition Tor per-
sonal services and program OF
betterment. Initiation hits the
schools like it hits everything else
Most everything we buy this year
will cost us more than it did a year
ago. This applies to textbooks,
utilities, insurance, repairs, paper,
materials of instruction, transporta-
ton. etc. Thus, if for these things
we have only the same number of
dollars we must lose ground, just
as you find that the dollar buys
less for you in your business needs.

lieve any county in the state has

This brings me to my third and
last point in the discussion of
school costs and that is the pro-
gram of Betterment. Schools
should set the pace for community
betterment. There were perhaps
more fine new homes built in Gar
rett county this past year than at
any other similar period. People
want new and better homes, cars,
furniture, clothing, etc. And so it
is with schools. People are not con-
tent, nor should they be, with
school facilities obsolete and out

Certainly this was true in Garrett
county. How much erosion in the
potential of child development has
taken place over the years in
buildings such as the old Annex
would be hard to measure, but GER
tainly a red letter day is soon to
arrive when these children so in
adequately housed can be moved
to a new, modern school plant. So
in spite of efforts made, program
of Betterment for facilities through
out the elementary schools of the
county was long overdue. This pro-
gram of Betterment is nearing a
phase of completion and improve
ments in educational returns are
beginning to emerge. Teacher and
pupil morale has been raised-re-
sulting in greater degree of
pride in work to be done.
what finer investment can you
make toward total community Bet
terment than the investment you
make in your schools. You are en-

it's in a teachers salary, a new
school building, or in the purchase
of insurance. This we try to give

Voorhees, Job
With Refugees
Nearing End

Tracy S. Voorhees, is winding
up his work this week as Pres
ident Eisenhower's special repre-
sentative for co-ordinating Hun

In a letter to the President
made public at the White House
late yesterday, Mr.. VOORHEES,
said the emergency phase Of
the refugee program has now
been met"
He reported that 27,373 refu-
gees have entered this country

set up to grant asylum to Hun
garians fleeing from Communist
terror in their homeland. All
but 1884 of these already have

The White House said the flow
of Hungarian refugees was re-
duced to less than 1000 during
February and no more than
1000 are expected in March.
Mr. voorhees,. in private life
q New York lawyer. said he
would continue for a time as
chairman OF the Presidents
Committee for Hungarian Re-
fugee Relief which was set up
several weeks ago to provide ma
chinery for coordination Of the
work of voluntary agencies and

The coordination work now
has become routine" Mr.. Voor-
hees wrote the President. He
added that he believes I'VE are
now adequately organized to
move to the United States, to re-
ceive and to resettle on routine
basis any presently forseeable

who may be permitted to come.
Mr.. Eisenhower wrote Mr.

gratified by the accomplish

Rain Does Not Slow
Down Soil Service

Wet weather has hampered Allen
county farmers considerably this
month but it hasn't slackened the
work load for the Soil Conservation
Service staff in Allen county, accord
ing to tri-county agent Lee Borton.
Many farmers are concentrating on
drainage and other conservation prob
lens since they cannot get into their
fields to cultivate corn or weed their
beans. Very little is being combined
because of the high moisture content.
Borton, county agent Calvin Leim-
bach and Sam Bone, extension soil
scientist from Ohio State university,
visited the Monroe township farm of
William Cupp to take several soil
samples for research purposes.
With drainage occupying their
minds very heavily farmers are seek
ing information on tile drainage, pond
survey and ACP tile installation.
Borton and his group have also made
typographical surveys of several
farms and are considering a land
leveling problem with at least one
farmer.

one morning when he had finished
his piece of pie, 'Son, better pick
potato bugs today"
1t wasn't a bad job at all, much
better than cleaning out calf pens or
hoeing corn. With can in hand, one
walked up and down the rows picking
the handsomely-colored, black and
yellow striped beetles from the green
leaves. One would not necessarily
call it an exciting task, but if the
potato patch were located some
distance from the house, and away
from the sharp observation of sisters
who felt a moral obligation to check
brothers industry, there were
valuable side issues involved.
There were woodchuck holes to
explore with Shep; there were big,
cone-shaped, hornets nests in the
gray birches by the pasture wall.
Sometimes a big black snake would
be summing itself on a flat boulder at
fields edge. Song sparrows tossed
carols from the barway posts and
the bobwhites called from the mea-
dow. Picking potato bugs was neces-
sary routine work, but as with many
farm tasks, it had points in its favor
for a twelve year older.

Last Milk From Cow
Found To Be Richest

Dairymen who do a poor job of
stripping their cows are losing that
part of their milk supply which con-
tains the highest percentage of but
terfat.
Frank Koval, Ohio State University
extension specialist in dairy techno-
logy, says the first streams of milk
drawn from the udder contain the
lowest percentage of butterfat, the
last streams the highest percentage.
He cites data collected from a test
on cows showing that the first
quart of milk drawn contained Ia
percent butterfat, the second quart,
2 percent butterfat; the fourth quart
percent and the strippings 7.6
percent.
Other factors also influence the
percentage of butterfat in milk, the
dairy technologist points out Gener-
ally, he says, as the lactation period
progresses, the butterfat test of the
milk increases, although there gen.
orally is drop in the test from the
first to the second, and the second to
the third month. After that there
is a gradual climb in butterfat
content.
