Say Tax Men WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 IPi The U. S. Ux court held today that the definition of "fnrm" wont stretch to cover a 500-acrc country estate maintained primarily ns a "comfort able living place" with a swimming pool, tennis court, Japanese tea gar den and boathouse. Accordingly the court approved a $33,624 tax assessment by the in ternal revenue bureau against the estate of Mortimer B. Fuller of Lackawanna county, Pa., who -loft $1,235,922 when he died In 1931. The case hinged mainly on j whether the estate could deduct $40,660 from 1942 and 1943 income as a loss on operation of a herd of ! dairy cows and other farming acuvi-; ties. The court held: "A taxpayer who operates a farm primarily for his own recreation or pleasure rather than on a commer cial basis tor the purpose of making a profit is not entitled to deduct annual farm losses ks an ordinary and necessary expenses of a business or as losses Incurred in a business," The estate, "Overlook," was left to Fuller's widow, Kathryn, for her ; lifetime and she and the families' of her three sons each hnd a house on the property, the court said. !
