Newly Weds Mast File Joint Tax Blank; Incomes

of Both are Coanted

The Farm and The Farmer BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN

With the view of ascertaining wheth- j 1. Just at the moment we know of no er the recent insistent demand for new deals for farm or city realty

While It is generally understood

that a married person 13 granted a

$2,000 exemption in regard to income tax, numerous inquiries are made by nprfinns married during the year 1919

as to tax liability and what income shmild he reported.

The main question i3 whether they are entitled to claim the full $2,000 ex

emption if married only part of the year. As the status of a taxpawer is determined on Dec. 31 for the entire year, a person married at any time during the year would be entitled to the full exemption.

Another puzzling point Is whether

in the case of a newly married couple the bride's income should be shown

in the bridegroom's return. Accord ine to the bureau of internal revenue,

a brie of 1919 is in duty bound to fig-

a bride of 1919 is in duty bound to ng-

husband's 1919 earnings to determine

whether an income tax return is re

ciuired. All the earnings and other in

come of both the bride and groom for the year 1919 must be considered, even if it was all spent on trousseau, diamonds, wedding trips and bonbons. If the total income equaled or exceeded $2,000, a return must be made in which case both bride and groom must file a joint return, or may file separate returns.

farm lands is being still maintained

at Ann prices; whether country town real estate is moving and as to the extent of building operations planned for the coming spring and summer in towns in Wayne and adjoining counties, the following brief interviews with country bankers were obtained. Incidentally, the question of a possible reduction of farm crop acreage, be

cause of lack of labor, or for any other reason, was also touched upon. The consensus of opinion so far obtained favors the planting of the usual acreage and in the usual rotation, with

the exception of that of tobacco. Some holders of Ohio tobacco, men having the bulk of the last two crops on hand, are inclined to Cut the tobacco acreage, and in some instances will drop tobacco entirely, substituting some crop promising a greater certainty of profit at less labor cost and risk of crop failure. Labor in the tobacco fields comes high, must be capable and is very scarce, as was the condition in

1919. In addition to this is the fact that tobacco is a soil-exhausting crop

and needs a lot of expensive fertilizer,

at best.

Views of Camden Banker. J. E. RANDELL, Cashier of the First

National at Camden, Ohio. So far as we are advised no farms are changing hands in" this vicinity at present. While there seems to be no reductions

made in the price of farm lands of late, the demand seems to have halted recently, possibly because so many transfers will be completed on March

1, and because all new leases made

will be effective on that date. So far as we know, our farmers are planning

to farm as usual to the limit of their ability to handle crops, except that the tobacco acreage will be cut in borne instances.

Some poor 1919 tobacco crops in the

Camden district have been cleaned out

at as low a figure as 8 cents per pound, this for inferior grades in poor condition. The comparatively small amount of tobacco grown near Camden has been nearly all disposed of. Retail

business is" good and deposits show

that the farmers are prosperous.

Mr. Musselman, of Eaton.

J. H. MUSSELMAN. vice president

of the Eaton National Not many farms are changing hands in this vicinity just now. although there is

always something doing in that line.

We know of no recent transfers of

farm lands, although there have been, numerous sales within the past year and a number of transfers will be finally recorded on March .

As to proposed reduction of farm

crop acreage we think it a little early

for farmers to decide on that and we have heard no talk along that line, so

far. City real estate is very quiet just now, nor do we know of any new

buildings being planned for at this

time. Business is good and our merchants all seem to be prospering.

Report From New Madison. PAUL C. KING Cashier of the Farmers State Bank, of New Madison, Ohio Farm property continues to move in this section; in fact we have had two or three transfers of farms recently at good prices. The tendency seems to be to keep acreage prices tip, and quite a number of deals will be completed and of record on March

being arranged

i As to tobacco, some of the old 1918 crop seems to be moving at from 20 to 22 cents per pound for the finest. The tendency seems to promise a reduced tobacco acreage below that of 1919, which showed a cut from- the previous year. Scarcity of labor and high cjrfst of material are affecting the outlook for new buildings here this season. Mr. Pence of New Paris.

M. H. PENCE, cashier of the First National, at New Paris Farms are still being sold in this vicinity. F. H.

Goble sold his large farm recently,

and the Robert Roller farm, which was

sold last fall, was sold again not long

since, and we believe at an advanced price. So far as our bank is informed there is no talk pf reducing acreage.

except as lack of labor may make that

necessary in special cases

The Farmers Equity Exchange folk3

are going ahead with the remodeling of the old Barnett warehouse and will add fireproof sectional round elevators

as fast as labor and material can be obtained, when the building season

opens. Retailers are not complaining and our line of deposits speaks for the prosperity of our depositors, both In town and country. JOHN NOAKES, manager of the Farmers' Equity Exchange, at New Paris, endorsed the statements made by Mr. Pence with reference to their plans. The exchange is incorporated for $50,000.
