Ohio's Farms
Within the past several weeks,
| was furnished a study of Agri-
culture IN Ohio which presents
some glimpse of the nature of
farm life today. Like farmers in
other states, Ohio's average rural
family lags behind their city,
dwelling brothers. However, the
d e p a TN nj of Agriculture's
study shows $50 of the States
l23,527 commercial farms had
automobiles, 97.4% are equipped
with electricity, 1867 with
piped running water, 777T with
tractors, 65.1% with television
sets and 44I9% with home freez-
erS.
Three thousand of the States
farms had sales of their products
over $4,000 while 1882 report
ed sales of between $4,000 and
$4,000. About half of the States
commercial farms sold products
for 1854, the latest year for
which figures are available, valu-
ed at less than $4,000.
Although these and other pub
lished figures show a great in
crease in the cash receipts per
farm in the past 20 years, they
also demonstrate the gap in liv-
ing standards that exist today.
There are many bills now pend
ing in Congress intended to i'm
prove the condition of the small
farm family. Whether this can
be done through legislation is
the big question which remains
unanswered.

more, you avoid paying capital
gains tax on the profit.
If you must dismiss the idea
of giving away a piece of real
estate or a block of stock within
the next few years, don't over
look the opportunity of building
up your charitable deduction by
donating such property" as
used furniture, clothing, books
and toys to a worth charity. The
value of these items is deduc-
tible, too.
Prepaying State Taxes
The state and local taxes
which you pay are also deduc-
tible items that often can be
pyramided to give a tax advan-
tage. Some taxes that fall due
early in 1858 can be prepaid to
give you an additional deduc-
ton on this years federal tax
return. On the other hand, it
may be to your advantage tc
delay payments until 1858. Be
careful when you do this, how
ever. You may incur a late pay
ment penalty.
Farmer Tax Tactics
While businessmen and farm
ers can do everything that
salaried worker can do to cut
their tax bills, they also have
special opportunities to time
year-end deductions.
A farmer, for example, who
reports for tax purposes on
cash basis, can deduct his ex-
penditures in the year paid. BY
purchasing his 1858 grain re-
quirements in December, he can
increase deductions on his 1857
return. If he borrows money to
make this purchase, the inter
est paid on the loan during the
year is also deductible.
A businessman, whose year
end tax plan calls for punching
deductions on this years return
can time the sale of used equip
ment to establish loss deductions
For example, by selling a truck
that has a deprecated value OF
$500 and a real market value
of $500, businessman may claim
tax credit for his $500 Gloss.
If he sells the truck before Dec
81, he can take this deduction
on his 1857 return.
Taxes are only one factor to
consider when you are investing
- or divesting - but if you had
bad luck this year in the stock
market, remember that careful
planning of your yeaF-eno
security transactions can turn
errors of investment judgment
into ollar-and-cents tax saw
ings. A word of warning, how
ever: the capital gains and loss
law is not as simple as some
people believe it to be. You
would be wise to consult your
tax advisor before you begin
shuffling your stock holdings tc
establish losses and gains on your
tax return.

titled Public Accountants.
Ii you are one of those in
dlvldual taxpayers who is con-
ftantly being collared and dol
Jared for charitable contribu-
tlons, you may save money by
paying particular attention to
the timing and planning of your
year-end donations.
Before paying off on any more
1857 pledges you might have
made, remember that you will
not receive a tax credit for your
charitable contributions unless
you itemize deductions on your
return. You can't take the
standard 10-per cent deduction
and a special deduction for
donations to charity. You may
take only one or the other; so
plan your year-end pledge pay
Inents accordingly.
Planning Charitable Gifts
If you will be forced to take
the standard 10-per cent deduc-
ton this year, your best tax
move would be to defer pay
ment on your outstanding
pledges until after January L,
pyramiding them into 1858 when
you may be able to itemize
deductions. However, if you
have had better-than-aver
income year and are trying to
bunch itemized deductions on
this years return, you should
pay not only the pledges you
have made but possibly the
pledges you would ordinarily
make in early 1858.
Here is an important point to
keep in mind as you plan your
year-end pledge payments: a
charitable contribution will be
considered paid--and therefore
deductible--in the year when
the check is delivered to the
charity and not when it is
actually cashed.
Property Donations
A gift does not have to be in
cash to entitle you to charitable
deduction. 1t can be in property,
and since you can claim deduc-
ton for the full market value of
a property gift, it may actually
pay you to give away items that
are now worth more than they
cost.
For example, suppose that you
own a few shares of stock that
cost you 500 a few years ago.
Today the stock is worth $3.50,
and apparently full priced. If
you know you are going to be
approached by a church, charity,
college or the like for sizeable
donation within the next few
months, you might consider con-
tributing these securities before
the end of the year.
By giving this property away,
the organization you care to
favor will benefit by receiving
property which they may hold
or sell, and you will establish
a $3.50 charitable deduction for
your 1857 tax return. Further

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Do You worry about the way
you pronounce certain words? Do
you wonder whether you should
say Adult or uh-DULT, since
you hear well-spoken people
using both recommendations?
Have you made a studied effort
to rid yourself Of a pronuucia-
ton learned in childhood. which
you have come to believe is in
correct?
Mrs. Warren O'Connor, Of MIL
waukee, sums up some Of the
more common perplexities about
pronunciation when she asks:
What about the recommendations
Of roof. root. creek and been?
Is the vowel sound of roof the
same as in crew or in cook?
Is creek pronounced the way
it's spelled or is 1t erik? And as
for BEEN I've been wondering
about that ever since I heard a
fellow midwesterner say bean
when I'd say bin"
Taking these in order. both
recommendations Of roof" are
completely acceptable. with the
short U" or cook" pronouncia-
ton less heard in the South.
The pronunciation KREEK
for creek" is somewhat more
common than KIRK but the lat
ter is very common in Northern
and Eastern United States. In
deed. it seems to have been the
original pronunciation Of the
Middle English word "crike."
Over the centuries the pronun-
citation changed to KREEK and
the spelling followed suit-be-
coming creek"
In other words. though KIRK
is. generally speaking. the rural
and relatively untutored pro-
nunciation, it's actually closer
to the original English pronun-
citation than the more sophisti-
Gated KREEK. They're both en-
tirely acceptable.
But that midwesterner who
says bean" for been" must
have been exposing himself over
long to the vocal Establishments
OF Rex Harrison and Noel
Coward. This pronunciation can
not be anything but an affecta-
ton Of a native-born midwest
erner. 1t is a criticism. pure and
simple very definitely to be
avoided by all Americans.

Mrs. Keen would have to have
led from the king. Assuming
she had that card. what were
Mr.. Abel's spades? II he had
started with A-J-6 or A-l0-6,
surely he would have won the
first trick with the, jack or the
10.
But he hadn't. So apparently
he did not have either of those
cards. Could he have had
Ats? No, because then Mrs.
Keen would have held K-J-10-4.
and from that holding she would
have led the jack instead Of the
four.
On this reasoning Mr.. Dale
placed the king Of spades in the
closed hand and forgot about
the spade suit.
At trick two Mr.. Abel finessed
the queen Of diamonds. Mr.
Dale won with the king and led
the trey Of hearts. Mrs. Keen
put UP the queen and Mr.. Abel
let it hold. The six of hearts
was returned and this time Mr..
Dale ducked. letting dummy's
jack win.
The club finesse was now the
only play Mr.. Abel had for nine
tricks and when that lost an
other heart lead enabled Mr.. Dale
to cash two tricks in that suit
to beat the hand.
Note that a spade return by
Mr.. Dale at trick three would
have given Mr.. Abel time to set
up both his diamonds and clubs
and rack up an easy game.
