Lambing time is the best time to mark ewes for culling next summer, such as poor milkers, ones that disown lamhs, fall to lamb, etc. Ear notches, ear tags or hog rings in the ears are good for this purpose. 7.

ANSWER: The plants are stunt ed and spindly with pale green col or In early stages. Then bottom leaves begin to turn yellow at tips. Yellowing proceeds down (the cen ter or midrib of the leaf, leaving outside portion green. QUESTION: When should you lopdreas pastures? ANSWER: Topdress pastures with fertilizer while the grasses and legumes are dormant, immedi ately after rutting for hay or ailage. or after they have been grazed. This prevents burning or exces sive damage to the vegetative por tions of the plant. Topdressing in fall, winter, or before growth be gins in the spring keeps injury to pasture plants to a minimum. QUESTION: When should you market hogs? ANSWER: Farmers should "top out" their market hogs by each week, gelling the hogs that have reached 200 pounds of weight. This will help avoid heavy, market breaking runs, and will reduce the extra lard problem that comes with the heavyweight market hog. Of Algeria's 21 ports, eight have an annual traffic of more than 200,000 tons. | .

(International Soundphoto) ALERT FOR FLOOD AT YUBA CITY Many Income Tax Laws Apply Only To Farmers i Farmers, like other taxpayers, need to know the filing require ments, forms to use in filing taxes and information necessary to com pute the correct tax as required by law. Since farmers do not have taxes withheld from their income like moat wage-earners, and do not know what the exact profit from their farm business will be until the end of the year, they have a few problems other taxpayers don't liave. There are parts of the Fet eral income tax which apply spe cifically to farmers. Because of the extension of So cial Security to farmers in 1955 many farm people will also be fil ing returns to determine their fu iuic icvcis ui tuvci age uuucr oo dial Security. The accounting sys tem and records serving as the basis of the Federal income tax re turn must also be used to compute self-employment tax for Social Se curity purposes. No one type of record book is prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service. The books used, however, should systematically reflect the Income, deductions, credits, and other matters required to be shown on the returns. Good records can mean dollars in income tax savingst social security benefits, and man agement of the farm business. Any citizen or resident of the United States, regardless of age, having a gross income of $600 or more during the taxable year is re quired to Ale a Federal income tax return, even though no tax is due. The only exception: persons 65 years of age and over, who are not required to file unless their gross income is $1,200 or more. Farmers (persons securing at least two-thirds of their gross in come from farming) may (1) file their returns and pay any tax due on or before Febaruary 15 or (2) Ale an estiidate of their tax and pay this amount by January 15: then Ale their return and pay any balance due by Aplril 15. Farmers in North Carolina mail their returns to the "District Di rector of Internal Revenue." Greensboro, North Carolina. Several publications containing detailed provisions of the income tax law and the Social Security program are available at local of fices of the Internal Revenue Serv time rolls around you will be well repaid for this trouble. We should always try to sell 100 pounds of lamb for every ewe we have. This means that every ewe must do her part ? the suggestions below may help you when shifting lambs to another ewe. It can be done If you have enough patience. (a) Feed ewes well?a ewe will accept a lamb easier, if she has plenty of milk for him. (b) Place ewe and lamb in a lambing pen and hold the ewe for the lamb to nurse several times a day. (c) A dog tied in the next pen will help the ewe make up her mind sooner. (d) Ewes recognise lambs by smell, so smearing some of the ewes' milk on the nose and rump of the lamb mey work. <e> A variation of the above method is to smear diluted sheep dip or kerosene on the ewes' nose as well as on the lamb. <f) Many people skin the dead lamb and tie the pelt over the lamb they want the mother to take tg> If none of the above work, move the ewe and lamb to a differ ent part of the farm where no oth ter job with our own sheep and at the same time interest others in keeping .cheap There Is strength and profit in number*.

This involved construction of buildings and equipment amounting to over 17 million dollars. In all, we have spent over 148 million to expand and improve service in the State since 1945. In step xyith North Carolina's progress, we plan to spend more than 21 million more in 1956 on construction to provide North Carolinians with the kind of service they want and need. This large expansion program makes telephone service more useful and valu able for everyone. And f*te millions of dollars for construction, plus more mil lions we pay in wages and taxes, contrib ute vitally to the State's economy. Where will construction money to ex pand and improve telephone service come tram? Not fiom the customers' payments for service. But from thousands of people who put their savings into telephone stocks and bonds. To attract this money, telephone rates must be adequate to pa'y them a fair return on their investment. C. L. Lott.
