DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 1922.

HOW TO FIGURE YOUR INCOME TAX FOR 1922 The following Hfiiloment Ih Issnoti by M. Hi*rt ThiirniHn, collector of Internal revenue, tlintrlet of Indiana: The revenue ai t of 1921 contains lwo now and Important provisions, whi' h are the i.ubject of frequent inquiry. The first relates to the personal exempt Ilona allowed married persons, and tin' second provision requiring that a return be made of gross income of $5,090 or more. Tlie act provides that a married person, living with husband or wife, whose net income for 1921 was $5,000 or less shall bo allowed a personal exemption of $2,500, If tlie net inonto of Bitch person was over $5,000 tlie exemption Is $2,000. Under the revenue act of 1918 the personal exemption allowed a married person was $2,000, regardlegs of the amount of net income. Tin l normal tax rate remains unchanged, 4 per cent on the lirst $4,000 of net income above the exemptions and 8 per cent on the remaining net income. Li order that an income slightly in ext ess of $5,000 shall not be subjected to an inordinately disproportion ate tax because of the reduction of tlie exemption to $2,000 thereon, the law provides that such reduction shall not operate to increase the tax, which

would be payable if tho exemption were $2,500, by more than the amount of the net income in exeeas of $5,000. I’or example, on a net. income of $5,010 the tax, without this saving clause would be $120.40, which is 4‘ per cent on $3,010, the amount of net income less tin exemption of $2,000. Tlie actual tax is $110.40, computed 1 as follows: from the net income of $5,010 is tit ducted $2,500, leaving $2,510, the 4 per cent tax on which amounts to $100.40. To this is added $lO, "the amount of net Incline in excess of $5,000. The personal exemptions allowed married persons, apply also to tho head of a family, a person who supports in one household one or more relatives by blood, marriage or adop-> tion. Heretofore, a person whose net income was less than his exemption (SI,OOO if single, or $2,000 if married) was not required to file a return. Under tho revenue act of 1921, if tlie gross income of an individual equalled or exceeded $5,000, or if the combined gross income of a married couple and that of dependent minor children equalled or exceeded $5,000, a return must be filed, regarless of tlie amount of net income. “Net income” is gross income, less certain fleductions. Tlie fact tliat allowable deductions from gross in-

T ~ I come, for biisineHH expenseH, losses, bad debts, etc., may reduce the net 1 income to an amount below’ the personal exemption of SI,OOO or $2,000. does not alter the requirements to | file a return of gross income, if »uch gross income equalled or exceeded I $5,000. - t y FOR THE FARMERS Items of Interest to the Farmers of Adams County. Lafayette, Ind., Jan. 11. —Indiana farmers attending the short course at Purdue University, met today to outline some plan of action for farmer relief which they will offer through Governor McCray anti Prof. G. I. Christie of Purdue, delegates to the agricultural conference called in Washington for January 23. The plan will lie worked out at the annual meeting of the Indiana Corn Growers’ As- ■ sociation in session today and will be . prepared finally before adjournment tonight. Livestock men, corn growers, vegetable men, horticulturists t anti all interests represented at the short course are engaged in formula!--1 ing the plan.

Tho corn growers opened their program this morning with a short address of welcome by Vice President Henry W. Marshall. He was followed by Charles E. Gunnels, assistant secretary of tho American Farm Bureau, who discussed the economic situation I of the farmer and the aid being given In meeting the problems by the American Farm Bureau. Prof. A. T. Wiancko, of Purdue, was the principal speaker this afternoon, discussing the results of soil fertility experiments, “The average yield of corn on land both tiled anti properly limed anti fertilized was 55.2 bushels per acre against 18.5 bushels on the untreated land,” said Prof. Wiancko, “these results indicate that the entire cost of tile drainage and other treatments soon will be paid for by the crop increased produced, anil it is probable that the effects of tiling will become more and more pronounced for several years to come.” The tile where the 55 bushel average yield was obtained were laid three rods apart. Where they were laid four rods apart, the yield was 48 bushels of corn and five rods apart it was 43 bushels. Land tiled one to two rods apart averaged 64. G bushels of corn per acre as against 40. G bushels on the untiled land. The speaker presented considerable

data to show the value of using limestone and manure and the use of acid phosphate, especially In the southern half of Indiana. Crop yields frequently hatl been increased as much as 100 percent, where proper treatment bail been followed. M. H. Overton of the farm management department presented data to show that farmers must readjust their business anti produce things for which there is a demand, as he had gotten away from the old system of producing everything he needed ami now produced a few important crops and purchased other things he needed. "When farmer produces economically, he is using his labor and capital at maximum efficiency to produce those products for which there is a market demand and to which his farm is adapted because of soil type, climate, transportation facilities and markets,” he said. He suggested plans for reorganization of farming businesses for more efficient use of labor anil capital. e WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s PIANO TUNNING.
