Jackson County Farm Notes
Compiled by County Office O.S.C. Extension Service
- Income Tax Report
Due December it .
Farmers who didn't file a dec
laration of income - and - victory
tax on September 15 have until
December' IS to turn one In.
Most farm folks decided to wait
until the middle of December,
because farm income is far eas
ier to estimate correctly In De
cember when all the crops are
in, than In the middle of harvest.
Moving the date of filing ol
this declaratiop up to December.
Instead of leaving it till next
March, Is part of the plan to
bring everyone onto a pay-ar
you-go basis. In other words,
you pay this year on this year's
income. However, as things
stand now, the December declar
ation isn't supposed to be final,
down to the last penny. Lots of
things can - happen in the last
two weeks of the year to change
the picture, and that's why
you'll see the word "estimate"
appearing in large letters on the
form you will fill out.
For most folks, though, the
estimate will be a pretty close
ne. It has to be, because tho
declaration you file between
' now and December IS Is accom
panied by cash on the line.
Then, after the first of the year,
and before March IS, you do the
final figuring and wind up tha
whole Income tax business by
March, as usual,.
The internal revenue depart
ment points out that it is not the
intention of the new scheme to
hive farmers do all tha final and
complicated figuring twice
once now and once in 1944. The
present declaration Is expected
to be made on the basis of a rea
sonable estimate,- and farmers
are allowed margin of error
of 13 13 without any penalty
- Your nearest office of Internal
Revenue has tha necessary
forms. If you don't have them
cd hand already, and deputy col
lectors will be on tour between
. now and tha deadline to help
with filling them out. Their
services are free, so don't hesi

Support Given
In Hog Prices
The marketing of hogs holds
the spotlight on the farm scene
and here's a special round-up ot
the latest information. As you
know, the hog population of this
United States is at an all-time
high, and this Is the season when
pigs go to market. When they
all go at once you get a non
jam, and something very like
that has developed at the ter
minals several times. The usual
effect of a glutted market is
a nose-diving price. But this,
time, every power of the govern
ment is being used to hold up
the promised support price
$13.73, Chicago basis.
. Here's what's being done.
First, any farmer may kill, and
sell or give away, without any
license or permit, as many hogs
as be wants to, up until Febru
ary 17th. The restrictions on
slaughter are off, for farmers.
That doesn't mean the farmer
can sell .without collecting the
proper number of points, or that
he can sell over the legal ceiling
price. Reason what is killed
and sold off the farm doesn't
crowd tha market
Second, going back to points,
OPA has cut points on pork to
bring up consumption thus clear
ing the market faster. Third,
federal purchase of Inspected
pork are continued In full force
to support the price. Fourth, tha
out-of-Chlcago support prices
have been put on a dollaurs-and-cents
basis, beginning Novem
ber 28. Thus, no one needs to
guess at tha price be Is en
titled to receive $14.15 at
Medford on top grade hogs.
-.' Tho War Food Administration
emphasizes this point there Is
no reason for any farmer to ac
cept less than the support price.

the two things to watch. Check
your market and make sure of
proper price and transportation
before shipping hogs to market.
