1 THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1961 THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA Your Federal Income Tax Q. I earned $1,000 during the summer of 1960. During the other parts of the year I was attending college. Am I entit led to an extra exemption by reason of my being a student? A. No. You may deduct only one exemption for yourself on your income tax return. The “extra” exemption to which you refer would be allowed to your parents provided they furnished more than half of your total support during the year. Q. I filed my 1960 income tax return on January 23, 1961. Why haven’t I received my re fund? A. In South Carolina over 370,- 000 refund returns will be filed between January 1st and April 15th. Normally, refunds are sent out within eight weeks from fil ing. A small percentage of re funds may be. delayed for differ ent reasons. As examples, some refund returns may be examined prior to paying the refund, or the tax I'eturn may be returned to the taxpayer or he is contacted to complete or correct the return. In these cases though the tax payer is notified < f delays for these reasons. To avoid delays for corrections, a taxpayer should carefully and legibly fill out all parts of a return, be sure the re turn is signed—by both spouses if a joint return—and use the pre punched Form 1040A return sent to you if that is the proper re turn on which to file. Also, in handling such a large volume of returns, mistakes occur that de lay a few cases. Q. In 1960 I was transferred from Charlotte to Cv, 'mbia at the request of my t ploye^ The company gave me $*00 t pay for the expense of moving i myself and my family. Should I include this amount in my income tax return? A. Yes. However, you may de-| FASHION YOUR OWN EASTER OUTFIT with our new Spring Fabrics.

Any moving ex pense in excess of the reimburse ment is not deductible. Show' in formation about this move and the deduction on page 1, item 5 of Form 1040, or item 1 of Form ; io4ow. Q. I sold my residence for $10,000 in 1960 and immediately thereafter purchased another residence for $13,000. Since the profit on the old residence is not taxed in 1960, may I omit the details when preparing my 1960 income tax return? A. No. Gain on the sale of your old residence is not taxed at the time of the sale since the cost of the new r residence exceeds the sales price of the old residence. How-ever, you must report the de tail of the sale in a separate Schedule D, Form 1040. Enter "none” in column (h) (headed "Gain or Loss”) of this form. You may use Form 2119, "Statement Concerning Sale or Exchange of Personal Residence’ ’to show the details of the sale of your old residence and the purchase of the new one.

FARM | NOTESluBtS’ "Xlllllllllllllll’lll By COUNTY AGENTS Soybean Meeting All farmers interested in grow ing Soybeans are urged to attend the Soybean Production Meeting to be held next Monday night at Silverstreet School. The meeting will begin at 8 o’clock. Our Agronomy Specialist from Clemson College will be present to present the latest information on Soybean Production. Main topics to be discussed will be va rieties, fertilization, weed con trol and marketing of soybeans. There are several reasons why we think more farmers in New berry County should grow soy beans. First it looks like the mar ket for soybeans will continue strong through this year. Also we now have a local market for our soybeans. Another point in favor of soy beans is that it is a crop that can be handled completely by mach inery. Therefore the labor require ments are not as great as with many other crops. Finally, there are no allotments on soybeans. You can plant as many acres as you wish. With these advantages, we hope many more farmers will consider planting soybeans this year. To be sure you do the job right, plan to attend this important meeting at Silverstreet Monday night. 4-H Safety Seventy-five 4-H boys have completed their Safety project re ports to date. As little as we may realize, these boys have done a service to their families, friends, and Newberry County. They found accident hazards and removed these hazards so everyone concern ed would be safer. These boys found and removed six hundred and seventy eight ac cident hazards. We congratulate them for this fine job. All of the boys carrying out the Safety Project have not turned in their records. Many of them are still finding and removing the hazards. The New r beiry Civitan Club is going to present awards for the two best jobs completed. These will be announced later. Why don’t you join our 4-H Club boys and you, yourself, carry out your own hazard hunt? You‘11 find it will pay off in fewer acci dents. Fertilize Pastures If you haven’t already fertilized your pasture, don’t put it off any longer. As soon as the fields per mit, apply fertilizer. Annual maintenance needs are from 80 Oto 1200 pounds of a com plete fertilizer, such as 4-12-12. Half should be applied now and half in August for permanent pastures. Nitrogen topdressing should be applied as needed to keep it grow ing. Coastal Bermuda Prepare your land. Be ready to sprig Coastal Bermuda on your farm this month. It is hard to beat for hay production. If you wish to have yours sprigged mechanically, cal’ the County Agents Office for infor mation as to how to get this job done. A commercial outfit will be in the county this month. A number of farmers have al ready put their name on tne list to sprig Coastal right away. Lawns Are you pleased with your lawn ? If you are you won* need this in formation. But those of you not satisfied should get a copy of Cir cular 308, "Lawns for South Carolina.” Care and maintenance of your lawn is fully covered, even to in clude control methods of insects and diseases. The circular is free. We have been receiving a num ber of calls about, "How can I get rid of onions and weeds in my lawn ?” Be careful around shrubbery, but you can get rid of these un desirable- Use 2 ounces of 2,4-D Amine per 1 gallon of water. Add a little liquid soap as a sticker solution. Some use canned milk as a sticker. Four tablespoonfuls equal two ounces. Spray this on the lawn; it will not hurt the grass, but if you Wi*. get it on the shrubbery, it will damage it. Some prefer to use a sprayer attached to the garden hose. A pressure sprayer is another meth od as well as a sprinkling can. Caution! Don’t use any of the sprayers or sprinkling cans for any other use other than as a weed killer container. You can not get it clean enough to spray in the garden or shrubs for insect control. Use a different sprayer for these . j©6s. ,r*n Garden Fever?

A highly agitated patient walk ed into a psychiatrist’s office. "Doctor,” said the patient, "I’m having a terrible time; as soon as I say something I completely for get what I have just said.” "Now settle down, young man,” said the doctor, "How long have you been having this trouble?’ "What trouble?” replied the pa tient. PAGE THREE FUR-FLAVORED Two youngsters separated from their mother were joy-riding up and down the department store elevator. The little girl’s ice cream cone was dripping when a lady in a mink coat backed into it. "For goodness sakes,” whisper ed the little boy to his sister, "Be careful, can’t you see you’re get ting fur all over your ice cream.” They say the best things in life are free, but you need imagination and strong legs to find them. • m* m. 7 ThFkNE£s' □□□□□ THE KNEES A VAST, LEVEL _ TREELESS PLAIN | /NS/5EE/A A PUBUC WAY FOR VEHICLES □□□□ □□□ □□□□□□□ RH in fh« word tquoru.
