Clover seed in Same Class With Gold and Eggs; Now Is Worth $35 A Bushel Cloverseed is a precious and much sought after commodity this fall, and farmers fortunate enough to havo a small supply on hand 6hov no inclination to sell. Good clover seed is now bringing $35 a bushel. Unusually poor crops of cloverseed have rewarded Wayne county farmers for the last two seasons. Grasshoppers, a chief enemy of clover, practically ruined last year's crop. A larger acreage was sown this spring but the long dry spell during the summer, coupled with the renewed ravages of the grasshoppers, accounted for this year's shortage. This season's crop is the shortest tor 6 years. An average yield of cloverseed In this vicinity is about of a bushel per acre, although the yield has been as high as 3 bushels to the acre. One bushel of red cloverseed will sow between 6 and 8 acres, while one bushel of alsike will be sufficient for sowing 10 to 15 acres. Extreme precautions are being taken by farmers to prevent the loss of cloverseed. They keep it immune from rats and mice, and secure from thieves.

Schedules of farm Incomes and expenses will be given to every Wayne county farmer, sometime within the near future. Albeit N. Logan, deputy collector of the United States treasury department, who has established an office in Richmond, has announced. The farmer will be expected to return the schedules to the collector on or before March 15, 1920. This work sheet, as it 13 commonly known, is primarily used to help determine the net Income of the farmeres who work their own farms or rent out on Bhares, or by tenants. It Is desirable, according to notices by the treasury department, for a farmer having 2 or more farms to fill out a separate sheet for each farm. Logan is intending to devote his time at present to farm Incomes exclusively, he announced. Facts concerning the Income tax law follow: All the farm Income from whatever source must be reported in thi3 schedule. Only income actually received need be included, but this does not I mean that the taxpayer must receive cash. Anything of value received instead of cash must be considered income to the extent of its cash value. Thus, the value of groceries, merchandise, etc., received in exchange for eggs, butter, or other produce must be reported as income. The value of farm produce which is consumed by the farmer and his family need not be reported as income; but expenses incurred in raising pro duce thus consumed must not be claimed as deductions. 1 If timber sold in 1918 was grown In part before March 1, 1913, the income to be reported Is the difference between the fair market value of such timber on March 1, 1913, and the price received, less any expenses of growing the timber that have not heretofore been claimed as deductions. Report such income in the same manner as income from sale of land, in Schedule D of Form 1040A or Form 1040. Expenses and Other Deductions. Report as farm expenses only amounts actually paid out in carrying on the farm business. Labor Only that part of the board of the hired labor which is purchased should be included as a deduction.

Rations purchased and furnished to laborers or share-croppers are deductible as a part of the labor expense. Do not deduct the value of your own labor or that of your wife or dependent minor children. Do not deduct amounts paid to persons engaged in household work except to the extent that the services of such employes are used in boarding and otherwise caring for farm laborers. Services of employees engaged in caring for the farmer's own housejhold are not a deductible expense.

Story of Sacking U. S. Embassy is Published (By Associated Press) LONDON, Oct. 16. A detailed account of the sacking of the American embassy in Petrograd last July la published here for the first time, the Information having come from what is said to be an authoritative source. The Bolshevik commissary, Karolov, took possession of the embassy In the morning of July 10. Every cupboard and press was searched, doors being

burst open if the keys could not be , found at once. The commissary stated that they were searching for con cealed provisions, valuables . .or fire arms. Their search was fruitless. In a second search a week later Red soldiers stripped the place of virtually everything. When the soldiers had finished the crowd burst in and looked what had been left. Members of the Red army then took up their quarters in the embassy which they have virtually turned into an Inn. D'ANNUNZIO NOW ASKS FIUME AS FREE PORT (By Associated Press) PARIS, Oct. 16.
