Farmers Entitled
To Gas Refund
Ignoring a sure way of getting
more money Is something farmers
are seldom accused of, but that's
the case in Madison County, ac
cording to Coy Morgan, county
Farm Bureau president.
'.Thousands of dollars to which
farmers in the county are entitled
are left in the federal treasury
each year because many farmers
fail to apply for a tax refund on
gas used for non-highway (purpos
es, according to the Farm Bureau
president.
Federal laws, which were pass
ed with tha, support of the Amer
ican Farm Bureau Federation, al
low a three-cent refund on each
gallon of gas used in tractors,
combines, boats, and other en
gines which are operated off the
roads and highways of the county-
"The time to apply for this
three-cent refund is now," ex
plained Mr. Morgan. He points
out that the deadline for apply
ing for a refund for the past 12
months' gas is September 30.
It's a simple matter to apply
for the refund usinfr ISR Form
2240. Cfese forms are available
at counry Farm Bureau offices,
county agents offices, and from
representatives of the Internal
Revenue Service.
The federal refund of three
cents, added to the state refund
of six cents can amount to size
able sums for farmers Who oper
ate a tractor or other gasoline
consuming machines, according ot
Mr. Morgan.
Major Cases Aro fentiriued To
September term By ourt Here
MORE POUNDS OF
BEEF PER STEER
According to Harry G. Silver,
farm agent, rapid changes in ag
riculture know-how are resulting
in a smaller number of farmers
being able to feed an increased
population better than ever be
fore in the history of our coun
ty. Our population is often re
ferred to as the best fed, best
dressed and heaviest smokers in
the "world. Agricultural know
how has enabled most of this to
be true.
Tho recent upward trend in
beef cattle prices is encouraging
farmers to keep more cattle and
try to do a better job with their
cattle in order that they may re
ceive a greater profit. Farmers of
Madison County are continuously
accepting practices which will
lead to greater profits in their
cattle operations. They are pro
ducing more feed per acre. More
beef cattle farmers are castrat
ing, dehorning and vaccinating
their cattle for blackleg, malig-
6
nant edema, and shipping fever.
Several beef cattle farmers are1
now spraying for fly control dur
ing the summer months in the
pasture. The most recent change
to take place among beef cattle
farmers of the county is the ap
plication of the harmone stilbe
strol to their teteers for faster
growth and greater return of
gain on pastures. The following
farmers in Madison County treat
ed steers In the" spring of 1958
with this harmone: Billy -Woody

with their results to date and oth

to look at the. farmers' steers who
