THURSDAY, NOV. 25, 1943 THE NEWS - JOURNAL, RAEFORD, N. C. PAGE SEVEN Farmers To File Tax Returns By December 15th Others Also FUn Returns Or Amend ments On This Date. Greensboro, Nov. 24 Commisfion er of Internal Revenue Robert E. Hannegan tod.iy urged all taxpayers to determine if they are required to file either orirj'tinl or amended "Declarations of Estimated Income and Victory Tax" on or before Dec. 15. Explaining that only a limited per centage cf taxpayers need make any filing at this time, Mr. Hannegan suggested that everyone ascertain for himself whether he is affected. By far the largest percentage of taxpay ers have no further filings to make until the annual Income and Victory tax return is due NOT LATER than March 15, 1944. However, some tax payers who filed "declarations" in September have an installment to pay Dec. 15 for which they will be sent bills by their local Collector, of In ternal Revenue.. In general, the filing cf a declara tion on or before Dec. 15 will be re quired of the following: 1. Farmers who have sufficient income to require filing and have postponed filing under the special provisions of lav.' which permit farm ers to wait as late as Dec. 15. 2. Fersons wh; did file in Sept. but underestimated their tax by more than 20 percent and who should, therefore, file "amended declara tions" to avoid penalties. 3. Persons wha, did not file in Sept. because their estimated income at that time was insufficient to re quire filing, but now coxe within any one of the f. llowing classes: a. Anyone who expects to have during the calendar year 1943 more than $100 gross income from a source outside of wages which are subject to withholding and who also expects sufficient gross income to require fil ing an income tax return ($09 for a single person, $1,200 for a married couple, or $624 for an individual married person). b. Any single person expecting wages of more than $2,700 during the year. c. Any married person or any married coupie expecting individu ally or together ni-re than $3,500 from wages during the year. d. Any person who was required to file an income tax return for 1942 and who expects his wages in 1943 to be less than in 1942. There may be so.re taxpayers who filed declarations in Sept. and paid DEE WE IN AMERICA have a lot to be thankful for this year. This is the one great nation that has not been laid waste by war. Our boys are fighting in the jungles of the South Seas and in the villages of Italy that our own Main Streets may not become battle fields. By their sacrifices they have held the warfront thousands of miles beyond our shoreline. They deserve our deepest gratitude a gratitude wc should express in work rather than in wordt. Let's back up these fighting men in a very practical way. Today there is a great shortage of pulpwood. Pulp wood has a thousand-and-onc war uses from explosives to shipping containers. And since this is a pulpwood-cutting community, we have been asked to cut an extra cord of pulpwood in honor of every local boy in service. This is a small thing to ask of us small in comparison with what our boys are doing. One extra cord for every boy who went to war from the pulp wood areas will be enough to meet the present shortage. So let's resolve to meet our quota and make sure that no boy dies bo ause we failed. NEWSPAPER PULPWOOD CO&UIITTSI one-half of the remaining tax estim ated to be due, but who now believe that the amount for which the Col lector will bill them in Dec. is more than they should pay. These tax payers may also file amended de clarations correcting their previous estimates and recompute the amount of their installments to be P"id in Dec. In such cases the a r.enr'er; de claration should be nccompantei by the bill received from the Collector, together with the remittance f'r any revised amount due on Dec. 15th. "The December 15 filing," Mr. Hannegan said, ' is in reality a follow up to the Sept. 15 filing. Both filingi were steps in the transition to the pay-as-you-go system of tax collect ion, in accordance with the Current Tax Payment Act of 1913. "For these reasons, Congress en acted provisions by which taxpay ers who are not kept paid up to date by the withholding system would be brought closer to the ideal of "pay as-you-go." In September, all taxpay ers in this class, except farmers, were required to estimate their tax for the year and, after taking credit for taxes already paid, withheld and to be with held, to pay at least one-hill of the balance. Those who must fi'p m Dec ember will make their estimates on the same basis and pay the entire balance. The filing will be new to farmers who waited until now to file and alto to those taxpaye s who fail ed to file in Sept. because their ex-, pect income was below the filing of declarations. "I want to say a special word," Mr. Hannegan emphasised, "'o those who filed in Sept. Any l.Tvpayo who filed in Sept. and who belkvcs that his estimated tax is not substantially underestimated need not file any new or amende ! declaration tills year. The correct tax will cf, ro'.ir:, be dt terminrd on the nrnul 'ax return hich will be filed, as i:su.il. ;n cr be fore March 15, 1944. "However, I would like to empha size to the persons who filed dec'aia tions in Sept., that they should clear ly understand the law impo:s a pen alty against any taxpayer whose es timated tax is below the allowable 20 percent margin of error, ftiless an a mended declaration is tiled on or be fore Dec. 15, which brings the est mate within the permissibl? margin ;f error. In other words, if a taxpay er has reason to believe that he un derestimated his tax pvirents in Sept. by a wide enough ir.artjin to cause a penalty he rr-uld fi an a mened teclaration wich v. ill be a more accurate estimate so that he will n be liable for a realty.. "Amened declarations," Mr. Hann egan explained, "are made on the sane type of form as the orininal de clarations, and are distinguished only by writing the word' amend' at the t;p of the frpnt page. Say it with i ...not words State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. Why is there sometimes a dif ference in grade between cotton sam ples from the samo bale, when both samples are classed by the same clas sers? A. Dan F. Fowler, cotton market ing specialist says that no two cotton samples are ever just the same, even though the cotton is grown from "breeder" seed in the same field, and is picked, ginned and handled just alike. There is still a great variation within the bale. Recent observations within fields of first-year-breeder seed have shown that there is as much as five-thirty-seconds of an inch difference in the staple between different areas in the same field. There is also a difference in the amount of trash and color in the same field. It is also possible to gin one port'on of a bale normally and rough another portion, according to Holler. Q. How can I reduce my losses from the pullorum disease in young chickens? A. "Buy your chicks from hatch cries which furnish pullorum-free chicks, says Prof. Roy S. Dearstyne. He points to a report from County Agent Powell of Currituck county, who says: "Poultry growers here, who were not careful to buy their chicks from hatcheries which were guarding against the pullorum disease, have lost from 50 to 75 per cent of their chicks within the first three weeks. All growers have been ad vised to buy their chicks from pullO' r"m-free hatcheries and place their order now for chicks wanted next spring, because this type of hatchery has more demands for chicks than can be filled." Q. Why is milk rated so high in our war-time diet? A. Besides the food -which milk supplies, there is calcium, which Is needed by both adults and children, says Mary E. Thomas, Extension nu tritionist. It is calcium which gives Persons having forms left over from Sept. may use the forms they already have. Persons needing new copies will be supplied promply upon application to any Collector of In ternal Revenue. The declaration form itself, numbered 1040ES, is the only form actually to be filed with the Col lector. With respect to this matter, ad dress all communications to Collector of "Internal Revenue, Greensboro, N. C. Cut-a-Cordl Rust Preventatives On The Market New rust preventative compounds or greases to stp the rusting of farm machinery when it is left in the open or stored under a shed is now avail able, according to J. D. Blickle, engi neer at State College. "Every user of farm machinery or other equipment owes it to himself, particularly under present machinery shortages, to protect his equipment against the damages caused by rust," Blickle snvs. He points out that the liquid rust preventives can be sprayed or brushed on metal parts and will prevent rust ing for four to six months on machin ery standing out-of-doors, and for a year or more on machinery stored un der cover. The soft grease type of rust preven tive, when brushed on metal surfaces, will prevent their rusting for a year or more on marhinery stored outside and for an Indefinite period when stored under cover. Blickle suggests that the rust pre ventive he applied to mold-boards, coleters, discs, grain drill furrow and metal lijpr.e -:, holts and nuts where adjustments nre made, and sheet me tal parts o' elevators on combines, cfrn picke-s and other machines. Rusting is prevented by the new compounds l'e. ause they adhere firm ly to the metal surfaces and form an elastic non-porous film through which moisture and air cannot penetrate, the agricultural engineer says. O Food The War Fod Administration has estimated that if only a third of our national fond waste in homes could be prevented it would add 6 to 8 per cent to our total food supply. O Potatoes Food specialists advocate preparing potatoes many ways for variety, but to get the most vitamin C and thiamine from a white potato, boil it in its own, well-scrubbed jacket. O Containers WPB has postponed until Jaunary 1, 1944, the prohibition against pack ing of fresh vegetables in new wooden shipping containers. O Lesprdeu A recent report from the BAE says that the production of lespedeza seed is expected tc re about 3 per cent smaller than the 1942 crop, but 74 per cent larger than the 10-year average. O Gardens For 1944, the victory garden speci alists of the U. S. Department of Ag riculture suggests gardens at least thirty by fifty fee. shape and firmness to bones and teeth. It helps muscles to contact and relax properly. It keeps the heart beat normal and helpes blood to co agulate. It acts as a body regulator. O Women of Hoke County.
