Buy foods in quality, if possible. For ex ample, when buying apples for baking, plan to use them in other meals in different forms, like apple salads, fried apple rings, and apple betty. Buy government inspected meat with a purple Inspection stamp. This stamp is required on all meat shipped across state lines. Meat grades Include Prime, Choice, Good, Commer cial, and Utility. In general, the less expensive cuts and lower grades will be the best buy If properly cooked ? but choose carefully. Cheaper cuts may prove more costly In the long run if they contain too much fat ar bone. When buying un graded beef, check to see that the lean meat is light red, vel vety-appearing and liberally veined with fat. Buy breads, flour and cereals only If "enriched" or "restor ed" or "whole grain" is printed on the labels. They cost no more and add extra B vitamins and minerals to the diet. Buy "cash-and-carry" to save the extra cost of credit or de livery charges.

WHtN MTTM AUTOMOSIUS AM SUUT 1 MIICK WIU. SUM) THIM Phone 233 MACON MOTOR COMPANY Palmer Street, West FRANKLIN, N. C. ? Slate College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. How can I keep my In come taxes lower? A. There are many ways, but you must be alert at all times. First, sales of breeding, draft, and dairy animals can be treat ed as sales of capital assets (land). Such sales should be re ported on Schedule D. Only half of the gains (income) need be reported as income. The re quirements are that the animals must have been owned for ons year and the animal must havs been sold for draft, breeding or dairy purposes and not prim arily for sale in the ordinary course of the farm business. Secondly, when the sale of the farm includes the sale of th? farmer's residence and he buys property within one year after (or before) the sale, which hs uses as his new residence, the gain from the sale of the old residence may be excluded from the gross income provided th? cost of the new residence equals or exceeds the sale price of ths old one. Also, the elderly farm er who wants to retire oftem parts with a large share of his life's savings in income taxes by outright sale of his farm. Th? installment sales method (simi lar to buying a car on timet i reduces taxes and maintains his investment in a safe place. The downpaynient cannot b? more than 30 per cent of the selling price. The seller there ; after reports total yearly pay ments during the year received and is taxed on only half of this amount. Q. Can I carry back and car i ry fcr'vard net operating losses on my farm? ^ A. With lower farm prices and i two dry yearn, irnahy farmers j have come up with a net | ating loss at the end of the year. If you show a net loss on your return for the current year because of unprofitable farm I operations, you can use thU business loss to offset income in other years provided you do not have additional income dur ing the year from other sources offsetting your farm loss.
