Farm Income
Tax Booklet
Now Available
As 1953 slips silently into the
past many North Carolina farmers
begin thinking about that old ne
mesis filing the 1953 federal in
come tax return.
i The latest publication of the
State College Extension Service,
?Farmers 1953 Income Tax," Ex
tension Circular No. 366 (Revised),
is designed to make the task both
profitable and easy. Free copies
are now available through local
county farm agents, or by writing
to Department of Agricultural In
formation, N. C. State College,
Raleigh.
The 32 page, illustrated booklet,
prepared by a sub-committee of the
Southern States Farm Management
Committee, comprised by J. M.
Love. Virginia. W L. Turner, North
Carolina. Eugene liambill, Ten
nessee. and E. 1\ Callahan of the
federal extension service, will be
an invaluable aid in preparing the
] farm income tax return next year.
I The Imoklet will make filing the
! tax profitable for many farmers
: because of the large amount of
| tax information it contains. It is
designed to supplement the official
government instruction pamphlet
and not to duplicate it. Therefore,
the 32 pages arc devoted entirely
to farm tax problems.
In general the farmer may de
duct from his gross income all ex
penditures directly connected with
the farm business ? except those
which represent capital invest
ments. The latter generally may
Ik* recovered through depreciation.
Also, if an expenditure is only part
ly business, the farmer may deduct
that part which has to do with the
farm business.
A few of the deductible items
include hired labor, feed, seed and
plants bought, machine work hired,
supplies bought, tying material
such as wire, rope, twine, rubber
' bands, container^ insect and dis
ease control materials, machinery
repairs, farm building repairs, live
stock fees, fertilizers, veterinary
services and materials, fuels, cer
tain taxes, insurance premiums,
interests paid, rent, trucking hired.

Down Our Way
By JAMES C. WHITEHI RST
The last sixteen hours our plant
was open last week we received
more Inquiries and requests tor job
estimates than we have ever re
ceived during a similar period
this despite the fact that wc are
on ? ten-party telephone Uno
(more about this later).
We left our piant late Thursday
morning and drove to Greenaboro
On Friday we attended Open
House at the Olen Raven Mills and
hsd a very enjoyable and educa
tional all-day trip through their
three mills at Glen Raven. About
seventy-five canvas goods manufac
turers attended the Open House
The Gantt family have operated
Glen Raven Mills for more than a
hundred years.
It is very unusual for a large
manufacturing plant to have an
Open House. Donald A. Campbell,
of Minneapolis, Minn.. National
Secretary of The National Canvas
Goods Manufacturers Asso., Inc.,
said that in the many years ho has
been actively engaged in Associa
tion work this was his first oppor
tunity to go through a canvas man
ufacturing mill and see the various
manufacturing processes, from the
lint to the finished product. We
heard several of the suppliers' rep
resentatives say virtually the same
thing.
The members of the Gantt fam
ily went to quite a lot of trouble
and expense to make the day very
successful and enjoyable. Each
one attending was given a badge at
the gate with his name and address
on it. When members of the Gantt
family saw from our badge that we
were from "down home" (they
have a summer home at Atlantic
Beach) they came over and ex
tended a personal welcome to us.
Saturday we attended the meet
ing of the Canvas Goods Manufac
turers Association of Virginia and
the Carolinas in the King Cotton
Hotel. That afternoon Larry H.
Vaughan, regional factory repre
sentative for Clearview Louver
Window Corp., came down to ihe
hotel to see us about some Clear
view installations we are making.
We learned quite a lot in those
three days that will be very bene
ficial to our business . . . and judg
ing by the calls that came in while
we were away, the business pros
pered by our absence . . . !
Many people who buy canvas
awnings from us do not understand
that we do the actual manufactur
ing or fabricating here in our own
plant. We were answering a call
last week relative to a canvas awn
ing Job, and the lady said: "The
last time we bought awnings we
got them from another dealer and
he said that they were in Hocky
Mount. Where are your awnings
made . . . ?" When we assured
her that we had all the necessary
equipment and know-how, it .seem
ed difficult for her to understand.
Finally she said: "Well I always
thought canvas awnings had to be
made in a large plant away from
here." We have a double-seam ma
chine for joining the top widths
together, a single-needle walking
presserfoot machine for assembling
the top and end curtains, and a
braiding machine for sewing the
braid on the scallops at the bot
tom. What else is needed . . . ?
We sold a large job of Clearview
Fiber Glass Awnings last week to
Mrs. Lucille Burns, of Durham, for
her summer home at Harkers
Island. We have been selling Mrs.
Burns for years ? she is a valued
customer. ?
We can finance any sizeable job
for you through A.B.C. ? No down
payment and up to thirty-six
months to pay.
John R. Valentine, the architect,
is moving to offices in a residence
building across from the bus sta
tion, but he has not given up the
idea of building a special archi
tectural office on the highway in
the vicinity of our plant. Now you
real estate folks can get to
work . . . !
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Sam
Holloway is getting new Red Wood
ZEPHYR awnings for the West and
South windows. These will match
the porch awning we installed last
season..
We have been bothered a lot,
and we know our customers have
too, because we have a ten-party
telephone, and a* a result someone
is using the 'phone moat of the
time. Mr. L. A. Daniels has In
formed us that the telephone com
pany is running a new cable out
thia way "sometime this year "
Then we will be able to get a pri
vate line. Until then, please be
patient when you call us and get a
busy signal. We will be glad, our
customers will be glad, and the
other nine on this ten-party line
will be glad when this cable ia run.
Only five more weeks for our
WIN CASH WITH WH1TEHURST
