Uncle Sam's income tax laws will
hit many farmers for the first time
this year.
To aid growers in fil'ng a return
on their 1942 farm income, the Ex
tension Service of N. C. State College,
has just issued War Series Extension
Bulletin No. 16. "The Farmer's In
come Ta." Copies may be obtained
without charge upon application to
the Agr'cultural Editor, State Col
lege, Raleigh, or from the county
agent's office.
The 16-page publication was pre
pared by R. E. L. Greene, associate
agricultural economist of the Exper
iment Station, and H. B. James,
farm management specialist of the
Extension Service.
The information in the bullet n,
presented in question - and - answer
style, deals with the usual situation
that will be found in making an in
come tax return.
Designed to clear up questions in
the farmer's mind as to who must
i f'le a return, when the return must
I be filed, deductions, exemptions, and
I others, the publication clears up
many of the doubts which have arisen
, concerning the tax on the 1942 in

While most of the bulletin deals
i with filing a Federal return, a por
i tion is also allotted to information on
the State income tax return.
program for 1943 designed to earn
maximum production practice credits
for carrying out .those practices
most needed on his farm. This sign
up should not be confused with the
signing of 1943 Farm Plan Work
Sheets for Maximum War Production
in which the farmer's war crop goals
are set out."
Farmers taking part in the AAA
program are allowed to obtain con
servation materials, such as legume
and cover crop seed, lime, and phos
phate, for use on their land in lieu
of farm payments.
In an effort to conserve transpor
tation facilities, he said, most of the
1943 sign-up work is being carried
on when farmers are at meetings or
are in the county AAA offices for
other reasons.
Fertilizer To Be Sold

It has been indicated that the pur

Farmers of North Carolina will
have until December 81, 1943, to com-'
plete practices under the 1943 AAA,
program due to a change in the clos-,
ing date of the program year, it was
announced today by H. A. Patten,
Acting State AAA Executive As
sistant. The closing date for the 1942 pro
gram was November 1, he said.
However, this was extended until
November 15 last year for the pur
pose of seeding winter legume crops
and spreading soil-building mater
ials, provided the seed or materials
were in the county by November 1.
The extension of t.me was granted
because of unusually heavy rainfall
at the time when these practices nor
mally would have been carried out.
Change in the closing date of the
program year was announced at
Washington and is effective in North
Carolina and other states of the
AAA's East Central Division, Patten
declared.

We are not inclined to pose as ex

us that some of the increased burden
should be placed upon those whose
incomes have increased appreciably
between 1939 and 1942. While the

are other citizens who have had no

But what was the alternative?
The bombers could be used in

not be used there in conjunction with

United Nations
Must Stay United
There is a lot of nonsense in the
air about the terms of peace when !
the war is over but it is encouraging 1
that people are beginning to think:
about the problem of the post-war i
world. '
There looms one inescapable fact in !
any consideration of Europe, which j
it will do well to keep constantly in
mind. That is the undoubted fact
that, when Germany is whipped, the
Russian army will be the greatest
force on the continent.
Such being the case, and there is
no way to dispute it, peace plans
that do not sit well in Moscow may
have little or no importance when the
time comes to settle the war. The
Soviet will have its own ideas, per
haps, about a "defense line" and the
Red army will probably be on it when
the armistice comes.
The leaders of the four largest
United Nations are agreed upon the
necessity of preventing another war.
This means security against German
attack. It is possible that Russia,
having experienced the invading
Nazis, will have a different idea of
"security" than the Americans and
the British, who are a bit further re
moved from the German menace. I
