First Feeder Piq
Sale March . Al
ChiIIicothe

Nearly 1000 feeder pigs are
expected to sell at Ohio's first
feeder pig auction of 1860, sche-
duled March 9 in Chillicothe.
Sale time is 2:30 p. M, says c.
c. Bowen, Ohio State University
extension marketing specialist,
and the place is the producers
livestock market.
The sale will offer farmers an
opportunity to bid on uniform
lots of graded feeder pigs, locally
produced, which weigh from 80
to l20 pounds. The pigs will be
sorted according to size, breed
characteristics, and quality. They
also will be vaccinated for cho-
lera and inspected by a veterin-
arian on arrival at the sale yard
docks.
Other feeder pig sales are
scheduled for Chillicothe April
q, June 8, July 20, August 81,
October II and November 16.
Bowen reports similar sales
will be held in Hillsboro in May,
July, October, and December,
but the dates still are to be
selected. Feeder pig producers in
Guernsey, Noble and Coshocton
counties plan sale in that area
the latter part of June.
In five auctions last year at
Chillicothe and Hillsboro, more
than 5000 feeder pigs were sold.

hiked the franchise tax from one
to three mills last year, many of
the returns from smaller corpora
tions were not audited as thor
oughly as they might have been
because of the heavy burden on
the Columbus office.
"Now," Bowers said, 'the
same attention will be given to
both the large and the small
corporation returns"
The franchise tax returns will
be sent back to the six district
offices, which have been built up
in the past two years, and
examiners will audit them along
with the corporations personal
property taxes.
This" Bowers said, ''will sub
ject all corporations to a thor
ough audit of their franchise tax
returns as well as personal prop
erty returns.
Bowers said returns on both
taxes are being filed now by
about $4,000 corporations in Ohio.
The increased franchise tax,
Bowers estimated, will produce
about $48 million a year. The
personal property taxes, which
go to local governments, will
aggregate about $3.50 million a
year.
Bowers also announced that
farmers and others who buy
gasoline for non-highway uses
are receiving their tax refund
checks within a week or 10 days
instead of waiting as much as a
month for them.
This is due to the adoption of
tabulating machine cards for
making claims for gas tax re-
funds, which amount to almost
So million a year.
Adoption of the card system
also has released about 20 en-
ployes in the Tax Department
for more productive work, y
Bowers said. They formerly
made out the refund checks man
ually.

Exemptions For
Dependents Are
Explained For Tax

Taxpayers are entitled to only
one $500 exemption for each de-
pendent on their federal income
tax return for 1859, P. L. Charles,
director of Internal Revenue for
the Cincinnati District, explained
today.
Mr.. Charles said taxpayers may
claim an exemption for each
child, step-child, or legally adopt
ed child who is under 19 years
of age, or, if over 19, is full
time student. Taxpayers who
furnished more than half of such
child's support are entitled to the
exemption regardless of the
amount of the child's income.
If the child is 19 or over and
is not a full-time student, and
if he had an income of his own
of $500 or more, the taxpayer
loses the exemption, he said.
He also outlined other depend
ency factors:
For dependents other than chill
dren Gncluding an adopted child
and a step-child) five require
ments must be met to claim an
exemption. The dependent must
Cd have received less than 5000
gross income; (2) have received
more than half of his support
from the taxpayer; CD not have
filed joint return with his wife
or her husband; (4) be citizen
of the United States or a resident
of Canada, Mexico, the Republic
of Panama or the Canal Zone;
and (5) must either have been a
member of the taxpayers house
hold for the entire taxable year,
or must be related to the tax
payer Cor to the taxpayers wife
or husband if a joint return is
filed).
If several persons together
contributed more than half of
the support for an individual
during the year, but no one con-
tributed more than half alone,
the group may designate one
who contributed more than 10
percent of the support to claim
the dependency exemption.
If dependent was born or
died during the year, the tax
payer can claim a full $500 eX-
emption if the dependent met
the requirement during the part
of the year he was alive.
Special rules apply in cases
involving adopted children who
are not U. S. citizens and children
of taxpayers who are not U. S
| citizens.
Taxpayers who have any ques-
tions on this subject may get
