Dividends Received
Subject To Tax
Saving Rule

Dividends received by tax
payers during 1860 may be sub
ject to special tax saving rules
when they file Federal income
tax, returns, j. L. Enochs, Di-
rector of Internal Revenue for
he Jackson District, said today.
He explained:
eff you received dividends,
there are two provisions of the
law which serve to reduce the
income tax you must pay.
Zone is the exclusion from in
come of up to $50 of dividends
received. The other is a credit,
Or reduction, of the tax on the
dividends in excess of $50 which
are included in income.
"In order to qualify for the
$50 exclusion and credit, the
dividends must have been re-
ceived from a fully taxable do
nestle (U. 81 Corporation.
"So-called dividends, such as
dividends of savings and loan
associations, building and loan
associations and credit unions, are
not true dividends for the pur-
pose of the dividend exclusion
Or credit but are interest and
should be reported as interest
income.
when filing a separate re-
turn the first $50 of dividends
received from a qualifying do
nestle corporation may be ex-
cluded from income. If husband
md wife file a joint return, and
both have dividend income, each
may exclude up to $50 of divi-
dends received, but one may not
use any portion of the $50 ex-
clusion not used by the other.
For example if the husband re-
ceived 500 in dividends, and the
wife $25, only $75 may be ex-
cluded On a joint return.
Where dividends are con-
'idered community property in
come under state law, the dvi-
dends r considered to have
been received one-half by each.
"The credit for dividends re-
ceived is four per cent of the
qualifying dividends which are
included in income after ex-
Guiding the first $50. However.
1T may not exceed the lessor of
"a four per cent of your tax
able income OF (2) your total in
come tax, reduced bv the foreign
tax credit. The credit is deducted
directly from your tax and NAV
only be claimed if you file a re-

Comments On Cotton
Price Support Plan

Announcement of the 1861 cot
ton price support level at 81 per
cent of parity has been made
here by Secretary of Agriculture
OrviHe Freeman.
Reaction to the new cotton
price program has varied among
Southern Senators in Washing
ton, but generally we believe it
can safely be described as an
economically significant step to-
ward improving the income of
farmers.
We are cautious in u opti-
mism. but after studying the
latest price support matter it
appears that the situation looks
good for the cotton farmer in
1861.
Our optimism is based on two
specific actions. First, the cotton
acreage allotment was increased
to give Mississippi cotton farm
ers about 240, 900 more available
acres this year than they had
last year. And second, the in
crease in the price support level
will assure a minimum price of
1904 cents a pound, or at least
1910 more per bale than last
year.
The difficulty of comparing
this years price support level
with that used last year stems
from the fact hat a new formula
was used this year. The method
of computing parity has changed.
In other words, the old 1860
rate Of rs per cent of parity was
based on middling rs inch cot
ton, but the 81 per cent of
parity for 1861 is based on mid
ding one-inch.
These stopgap measures -
appear to Ease the plight of the
farmer temporarily and set aside
a need Tor any new farm leglS-
lation in this field during the
1861 Session of Congress. These
measures do not, however, solve
the long-range problems of the
farmer. We still need a general
farm bill. sound and workable,
that will bring stability and in
creased income to the farm fami-
lies of America.
The new Freeman proposal for
1861 is, in reality, a two-piece
system.
Not only does the Freeman
program set the cotton price
level for 1861 at 81 per cent
of parity for domestic prodtc-
ton, but it raises the export SUBJ
sidy from the 1860 rate of six
cents a pound to a new 1861
rate of 8.5 cents a pound.
The two-price system appears
necessary to keep American cot

CORN
Experiments over a number of
years at State College indicate
that early planting of corn, say
in late March and earlv April
has produced higher yields Of
corn than May paintings of corn.
This is due mainly to available
moisture in early part of the
year.

markets, where about As per cent
of the American crop is sold.
Although not apparent but
nevertheless present, are certain
dangers involved in raising cot
ton price support level to SO
per cent of parity. 1t could mean
more production of cotton by
foreign nations to compete with
American grown cotton, or it
could mean that manufacturers
would turn to synthetics in
stead of raw natural cotton.
In conclusion, however, |
would say as to the level of cot
ton price support, l will favor,
support and work for a price
support on cotton as high as it
is possible to have, and still keep
our cotton moving into the mar
kets and enable it to compete
with synthetic and foreign cot
ton.
The problems facing our Mis-
sissippi cotton farmers are MANY
and complex. They are the re-
suits OF many years of controls,
subsidies, and the complicated
markets and changes in the cot

Feed Grain Survey
10 Get Underway

A survey of all farms in Hol-
mes County which produce feed
grains is nov underway accord
ing to Lynn Jordan, chairman of
the Holmes Agricultural Stabi-
lization and Conservation Coun-
ty Committee.
The survey is being conducted
throughout the major feed grain
producing area" as an advance
step in connection with proposed
feed grain programs now under
discussion. The proposals would
include adjusting the 1861 acre
ages Of corn and other feed
grains.
To put such a program into
operation for 1861 crops in a
manner which would be fair 70

Mr.. Jordon explained that it
is the intention, as far as posi-
BILE, for the county office to in

owner in Holmes County whose
farm has produced feed grains
either in 1859 or 1860.

may be fined, jailed and the
registration Of the vehicle may
be suspended.
The Council President said
the law was designed for one
purpose of reducing the number
of traffic accidents and fatalities
on the street and highways of
Mississippi.
He pointed out that 1860 was
the worse traffic accident year
n the history of the state with
$40 people being killed in 49,
901 traffic accidents.
'The Inspection Law will
bring all motor vehicles to a
minimum safety Standard
Smith said, "and when this is
lone there will be a sharp re-
duction in traffic accidents"
The Safety Council believes
approximately 20 per cent of the
traffic accidents occurring during
1860 can be traceable to a me-
chanical defect.
"This means that 1874 of our
Mississippi people would be alive
today if all vehicles could have
met the minimum safety require
ments now contained in our
motor vehicle inspection law"
Smith said.
The actual inspection will be
made at privately owned garages
approved by the Motor Vehicle
Inspection Bureau in the De-
partment of Public Safety.
The Safety Official stated that
if a defect is found in an auto
mobile, the owner may have it
repaired or adjusted in any
garage of his choice or he may
do it himself. but the vehicle
must be reinspected by the same
inspection station within five
days from the date of the first
Inspection.
However" Smith said, "the
owner of the vehicle will be
charged for only one inspection"
The inspection fee is SIPS.

zens group designed to prevent
accidents in all fields Of activity.

State Motor Vehicle
inspection Law
10 Be Acfivafed

The states Moor Vehicle In
spetion law, 500 to be activated,
can sharply reduce the number
of traffic deaths and accidents,
according to Ohio r. Smith,
president of the Mississippi Safe
ty Council.
Smith stated that the Missis-
sippi Safety Council sponsored
the Inspection law enacted by
the last session of the Legisla-
ture as a first step toward the
eventual modernization of til c
states existing traffic code.
The Council President said the
studies Of that organization show
the Traffic Code of Mississippi
tc be completely antiquated and
safety experts throughout the
nation recommend a motor We
hicle inspection law as the most
important and most needed new
law whenever a traffic safety
program is initiated.
According to Smith there are
now II states, including Missis-
sippi, having such a law and
wherever the law has been in
effect and properly enforced for
several years, the accident and
death rate is far below those
states not requiring motor vehi-
.le inspection.
"The neighboring State of
Texas has had motor vehicle in
spection in effect for about six
years." Smith said, land already
their accident and death rate has
dropped more than 20 per cent.
Mississippi can experience the
same reduction, provided the
people cooperate with the en-
forcing agency"
The experience of the states
having a similar law leads the
Safety Council officials to be-
lieve that approximately IS per
cent of the motor vehicles now
operating in the state will be
rejected at the first inspection.
"This does not mean there will
be major repairs to be made"
Smith said, "but it shows some
thing to be mechanically imper-
feet in a vehicle which makes it
a hazard on our streets and high
ways"
The enforcement of the inspec-
ton law is under the jurisdic-
ton of the Mississippi Highway
Patrol and after the ninety-day
inspection period, April 1st

ends up will tay in good condi-

TIME TO START NJ

~ SA<1@tl AktxN1xN1
If you have not made your
plans for farming this year time
is getting late. There are a num-
Der of questions you should ask
yourself.
Il Is my equipment in good
shape?
2. Do | have enough labor?
3. Am / planting the recon-
mended corn and cotton
varieties?
4. Should | go all out for
chemical weed control?
5. Should | Craze my oats or
remove the cattle and save
the grain or should l cut
them for hay?
There are lots of other cues
tons that you need to ask your
self at this time to determine
which route you are going to
take.
The first thing 1 would like to
mention is cotton varieties. There
are a number of good cotton va
rieties that can be produced in
u area. However,, I would just
like to mention four or five of
the leading varieties over the
past few years. All of these va
rieties have done well throughout
the state: Stoneville 7. DPL
Smoothleaf, Stoneville 1902 and
Fox 4. On land that has a ten
dency to blight Auburn Sc has
done best as it seems to be our
best wilt resistant cotton. How
ever, on land where wilt or
blight does not occur the other
varieties mentioned above would
probably be better to plant.
l would like to urge every
farmer to seriously consider pre-
emerging their cotton at plant
ing time with karmex. Pre-emer-
ging is good insurance in a wet
year. If you do not have avail
able labor for chopping it is alb
Solutely necessary to reduce cost
of production that you pre-
emerge your cotton. You elimi-
nate at least one chopping.
By hill dropping your cotton
you will save at least $3.50 worth
CT seed which will pay most of
the cost of your pre-emerge and
will eliminate thinning your cot
ton at a later date.
If you have not ever pre-
emerged cotton before and would
like some help on setting up
your spray rig and celebrating
your machine please call my of
flee for help if you think you
need it.
OATS
If you are planning on saving
your oats for seed, COWS should
not Craze the oats after the first
week in March, if you expect
to get a normal yield per acre.
After removing the livestock top
dress with 1880 units of nitro
gen which is the equivalent of
$50 pounds of ammonia nitrate
or 10000 pounds of nitrate of
soda.
PINE SEEDLINGS
Landowners may purchase
pine seedlings for $1.0O per
thousand at this time. The
Forestry Commission has mil
lions of pine seedlings that you
may purchase for $1.00 if in
terested in doing so. Normally
these trees would cost you $4.35
per thousand. If you have al
ready bought trees this year the
forestry commission will give
you free of charge an additional
number of seedlings totaling the
number of trees you have al
ready purchased. It is still not
too late to set pine seedlings.
