Fanner's Income Tax Aid Gixen There's no way to make paying your income tax enjoyable, but the State College Extension Ser vice has prepared a publication tha-t may make the job easier. "Farmer's 19!>2 Income Tax", Extension Circular No. 366, is a va liable free of charge at your county agent's office. Members of the extension farm management and marketing staff at" State College point out that the circular is not the complete answer to preparing tax returns, it merely supplements the Instruc tion sheets that accompany tax forms. It was designed to assist farmers in both income tax and farm accounting. The circular points out the two methods that farmers may use in repuftlng income and gives ex amples of both methods. Farmers' should be particularly interested in the procedure lor handling the purchase and sale of livestock and machinery and fig uring depreciation. One section deals with important recent changes In income tax reporting, such as handling capital gains and losses. Another section answers such questions as: "Are livestock death losses deductible?" ? COMPLETELY NEW DUAL-STREAK STYLING * NEW LONGER Vt llEELIKASE ? LONGER. LOYELIEH. ROOMIER HOMES ? ? ?' ?
