Tax Blanks Now
Ready For Public
Public Should Be Careful
in Executive Withholding
Certificate
Federal income tax blanks are
now ready for distribution according
to information released by
Raymond D. Christman, chief
zone deputy of the Wilmington
Major Zone, whose headquarters
are located in Wilmington. Mr.
Christman states that there will
be ample forms if people will J
take care of their blanks and1
use them carefully.
Within a short time there will
be an itinerary published in this|
paper showing the dates and j
placed where field deputies will j
be located for the benefit and j
convenience of taxpayers who
desire the services of depucies in
preparing their returns.
Mr. Christman points out that
his invstigation has developed
many cases where employees
have misled their employers with
respects to their withholding
status, fhat is. thy have claimed i
more dependents than they act- j
ually have under the taw. Such
violations come witivu the text
of the law which follows:
"Any person required to supply
information to his employer under
secticn 1(122 (h), who willfully
fails to supply information thereunder
which would require an increase
in tax to be withheld under
secticn 1622. shall, in lieu of
any penalty otherwise provided,
upon conviction thereof, be fined
Certified seed potatoes from *the
three leading producing areas, taken
from regular carlot shipments, were
tested for yield at the Eastern Shore
Experiment Station. Onley, Va.. in
1913. Of the 10 highest yields of
prime potatoes, 7 were from North
Dakota seed, including the L' highest.
Similar results were obtained in
1911 and 191-. Can you afford not to

It would therefore be advantage- J
ous," said Mr. Christman, "to each
taxpayer before executing his
withholding certificate to his em-j
ployer to acquair t himself with
the law and to make sure of his
claims as to such dependents and
to see to it that the law is not;
violated, ohterwis* such taxpayer
may find himself in an embarrass- i

The deputy said that sucn cases
would be turned over to Special

purpose of preparing cases against j

Town Creek Men
Fixing Pasture
3. J. Ramsauer and his son-in-'
law, Gilbert Reid, both of Townl
Creek township, nave ordered a |
great deal of limestone and are'
preparing to distribute it over
100 acres of pasture irr.d that is
to be planted in lespedeza and
carpet grass this spring. Last fall j
they bought twr car loads of;
Hereford heifers and added theni
to the herds which they already
owned. Many of the heifers will I
drop their calves this spring. It j
is planned to butcher the males
when they attain suitable
weights, the heife calves will be
added to the great number of
breeders they already have. This
winter they are grazing the cows
on small grain and also feeding
some hay.
Liquid water droplets float in

This involves a distance of four i

distance there is a fall of a little J
over seventeen feet, from the
river to the creek. The canal,
once open, will have a swift flow
that will deepen and keep it

Orton Plantation is this week
planting around twenty-five acres
in spring oats in which lespedeza 1
will be sown later in the spring. I.
As a rule, spring oats do not us-1
usually do so well in this coastal!
area. They are, however, said to ,
furnish a good foundation for the
planting of lespedeza, a crop that!
is rapidly becoming known asl
one of the best hay and soil itnprovement
crops that can be:
grown in the southland. Lesped-1
eza was practically unknown in
this state until a dozen or so
years ago when Tom Broom, veteran
Union County Farm Agent,
saw its possibilities. Union County
now produces a large part of
the lespedeza seed that is used in
the United States and there is j
probably not a county agent in
North Carolina who dees not advocate
its planting, both for the
hay crop and as a legume. County
Agent J. E. Dodson is among
the warm advocates of lespedcza
planting in Brunswick.

MUCHINFLUENZA
IN A MiLD FORM
(Continued From Page One) ,
The past few weeks in Bruns-j
wick have been marked by the j
absence of deaths from any
I causes. This gratifying condition i
| is all the more pronounced in
view or rne rarge number of j
cases of flu that have been prevailing.
The absence of serious
conseuences from such illnesses
appears to be due largely to the
care that people take of thernj
selves when flu strikes. As a gen-1
jeral thing, the sick have been goling
.to bed and staying there at!
the first indication of. the disease.
Health authorities say that this
is the best possible thing they can
do.
WICKARD URGES
FARMERS TO CUT
MORE PULPWOOD
forestry practices. Also, the Forest
Service is including increased
j production of pulpwood as a majj
or objective of its program, in|
itiated at the request of the War
I Production Board, to stimulate
the output of forest products
needed for the war."
War Food Administrator Jones
said, "Fanners constitute one of
j the biggest groups of farm products
users." Because of the critii
cal shortage of both pulpwood
and lumber, he urged farmers to:
Increase production from farm
woodlands during the winter and
provide labor for forest industries
during the slack winter season
on farms. He called attention to
the Selective Service regulations
which permit farmers and farm
laborers to do such seasonal work
without losing their deferred
classification in agriculture.
Increased production from farm
J woodlands is needed for the
| manufacture of containers, which
are highly essential to food production,
War Food Administration
officials stated. Many veneer
I mills, basket and crate factories,
and pulp and paper mills depend
j to a large extent on supplies of
| logs and bolts produced by farmers.
Current shortages in supply!
have been attributed in part to1
j a slackening in production from i
farm woodlands. Increased production
of these forest products
by farmers themselves will aid in
assuring a supply of containers
sufficient for the marketing of
11944 crops.
To market the fruit and vegetable
crop in 1944 some 150 million
new baskets and hampers,!
