Farmers May
In Preparing
Short Course To Be Held
Nov. 30-Dec 1 In
Asheville
By HARRY G. SILVER
County Extension Chairman
One problem of farmers through
out iMadison County annually is
that of being able to get assistance
in filling out their income tax
forms. Three complications make
the average farmer's income tax
form difficult. (1) The lack of
adequate records; (2) special
provisions in the income tax laws
which change almost annualy and
(3) the complicated nature of
agriculture enterprise as a busi
ness. Each year arrangements are
made for regional income tax
shortcourses to be held in North
Carolina. This year a shorteourso
on income tax "will be held at the
George Vanderbilt Hotel on Nov
ember 30 and December 1. There
are a number of people in Madison
County who have been assisting
their neighbors and others in
filling out their income tax forms.
This shortcourse would be of trem
endous aid to people working with
income tax forms for farmers and
smal busineses.
The instructors in the short
course are employees of the In
teral Revenue Service and N. C.
Department of Revenue.
Things of special interest to
those who may be interested in tak
ing a course this year will be the
Revenue Act of 1964 which con
tains many provisions that will
be of particular interest to farm
ers. The investment credit pro

and deposit it in a box which will
be in a convenient place in all
stores which are participating.
That's all there is to it. No tick
ets to save for the drawings. Al
tickets will be poured into a huge
container and when a ticket is
drawn the name of the person on
the ticket will be announced. If
that persons is present, he or she
wins one of the many prizes to
be offered. If the person is not
present, then another ticket will
be drawn until a winner is found.
Each firm will have the name of
the firm rubber stamped on one
side of the ticket. Blank tickets
found, if any, will not be honored
for prizes, Ralph McCormick, pres
ident of the Merchants Associa
tion, announced .
The first drawing will be held
