He is recently a graduate of Michigan State Agricultural college and son-in-law of R. H. Kem- Ridlin, U. of I. poultry specialist, again made an excellent presentation of the poultry management problem to our veterans' group. He told the boys exactly how to make more money in the poultry business. He said northern Illinois produces six times as many eggs in April and May as they do in the fell months. This is a terrific hurdle for the fellow who makes egg production his business. People eat eggs regularly and suppliers of eggs to the retail market are'looking for producers who not only can furnish good eggs, hat regularly, the year 'round, •gg producers in New England have warned that unless Illinois (Sits out the monkey business they trill take over our egg market because they can fnrntsh the good eggs and furnish them the year "round. The new pgr law now before the St^te legislature will help the situation by furnishing incentives tor good $ggs. Now -- 1. Illinois liens llay fewer eggs than the U.S. average; 2. Illinois farmers receive lower than ayerage U.S. prices for them; 3. Most eggs now produced are produced during the season of low prices. If Illinois eggs had sold ^at average U.S. prices, producers would have received Jlfo.OOO.OOO mire dollars for them or an averagevof $160 more per 200 b&a flock. Main features of the law are: 1. AlV eggs must be candled, farmers selling direct to customers are exempt; 2. Producers shall not be paid for Inedfble eggs;.3. AH eggs Sold at retail must be labled to show grade, quuality, and sire; 4. Standards will be established by the State Department of Agriculture; 6. Dealers will be licensed; 6. The state Department of Agriculture will do the licensing and enforce the law. ' It bolls down to welcoming the ogg in November--make it a good egg. We have a report of an experiment In Maryland done by the highway research board in behalf of the Connecticut, Deleware. Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland. Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio. Pennsylvania. Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia highway departments and the Bureau of Public Roads. The test was run an 1.1 mile of concrete road on U.S. SOI. They found" a 44,800 pound tandem axel load caused eleven times as much cracking as a 32,000 pound tandem axel load. The same relationship held true for a period of four months with from 20,000 to 92.000 truck passes. A 22,400 pound single axel load caused six times as much cracking as an 18,000 pound single axel load. This relationship held true for five months with from 35,000 to £38,000 truck passes. Other information just as amazing and enlightening Is reported in the test Nothing short of politics, pure.and simple, would allow such overloads to continue on our roads with this research information available. Matoy people are Interested in testing cows to detertnlne thejjr production. Hog raisers Should bfe just as interested In the production Of pigs by their sowfe. The real test Is the weight of the litter at fifty-si* flays of age--not only he nbmber of pigs, but how fast do they grow Is Important. The only way to do this means work but no work will probably ever pay more per hour. The pigs from each litter have to be marked at birth, probably eaateet by ear notch and then caught and weighed at eight weeks. In this way gilts can be saved from the heaviest litters and In this >*ay more pounds of pig per sow can be realized. This is the most important efficiency figure in the hog business. At Farm and Home Week 1 found out that about 30 gallons of mixed spray material is lost per nozzel per day on a crop sprayer with nozzles worn from 10 hours use.- How much is 30 gallons worth? How much is a new no$*le worth? John Memler, east of Hebron, has -one cow in his barn that is not the product of artificial breeding. Do you have an old picture that would be significant in portraying the progress in agriculture in the last fifty years? A picture showing how they used to do It? We are looking for them for the special v . -- ' mw*"'. - : Ihravellag Expenses \ , Sfccttoti 23(a) of the Ififferhal Revenue Code provides that traveling expenses must be incurred while In the pursuit of a trade, business or profession, and it also requires that it be ordinary and necessary in the conduct of duties which are not of a personal nature. A taxpayer must keep accurate and detailed records of the amounts of such expenses, the reason for which they were paid, and the person to whom paid. An Itemized list of the 'items and amounts claimed should be attachto the white form 1040 at the time of filing. * If he receives an amount to cover all or part Of his travel- expenses, it must be included as income. Hut of course, he gets the benefit of actual expenses. Many employees receive a flat weekly or monthly allowance for expenses. In some instances the allowance exceds the actual expenses, so the excess is considered to be income. In all cases, the employee must be able to substaitlate his claim. Using a personal automobile is a convenient way of getting to edition of the Sentinel depicting worjCi jjUt the expense of such !es. fWie same words qiAllfy renses for travel by train, bus plane. There are twO groups of traveling expenses; One, those which ire incurred while away from home; and second, those for business or profession in the home City and suburbs or communities nearby. The first group covering away from home" expenses Includes railroad, airplane, bus or steamship fares, meals and lodgings and incidental travel expenses like tips, hauUng of trunks, excess baggage charges and taxi fares from depots to hotels. No amounts for entertainment, or other business or professional expenses may be Included in this group. This first group may be deducted on page 1 from the gross income received from the employer for whose work he Incurred the exense. In this way he receives the enefit of the "away from home" expense, whether he makes use of the tax table on the white form or the long computation claiming either itemized or standard deductions. Only those items which are incurred for travel, meals and lodging "away from home", as explained above, may be claimed against income on page 1 of the white form only. The traveling expenses which are Incurred while in pursuit of business or profession within a taxpayer's resident city or its vicinity, when he is not required to remain away from home over i for his employer; and J if he can fifty years gress. of agricultural pro- " PARKING RULES The Chicago Motor club lists a few of the more important state regulations governing parking. It is Illegal to park a.vehicle: On a crosswalk, within fifty feet of a railroad crossing, within fifteen feet of a flre*bydrant, in front of a driveway (public or private), within an intersection, within twenty feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, within thirty feet upon the approach of any traffic sign or signal located at the side of a roadway. transportation Is strictly personal; and no one who uses an auto, train, street car or other vehicle in getting to and from his place of employment is entitled to deduct cost of the upkeep against Income. As stated previously, such expenses to be deductible must be ordinary and necessary in tlie pursuit of a trade or business. When he 1b going to and froip work the employee is not on the job, and is using his automobile because it is more convenient than a public vehicle. However, if he uses his car both for business and pleasure, he may deduct only that prorata portion used in ordinary and necessary tinUber and Asphalt Authorised • Kentfle Drahr lesoi aoaoi HOOK TU WULTLE Plastic Wall THa In 27 Beatitiful Colon v Riverside T11& & Cement Co. 126 RhmaM* Drive ttl-J-1 or 196-K oooi McBtary.

In such cases the reimbursement or allowance must be Included as income, and the amount of actual allowable cell&oeous deductions \0n page they are ordinary and necessary In the conduct of the taxpayer's duties. Traveling expenses include •such items as taxi, bus and street car fares as well as the prorated cost, of maintenance of a personal car for the time used for business purposes. Car expense includes gasoline, oil, grease, washing insurance, garage expense, minor repairs and depreciation. depreciation is based on the average life of the car, prorated each year according to'the cost of the car; and prorated according to the amount of time actually used for business purposes (faring the tax year. If a taxpayer trades his automobile each year he changes his basis of depreciation, since no gain or IOBS Is recognized on exchange of an auto used for business purposes for another automobile used for the same purpose. In conclusion, you are reminded that if a taxpayer returns to his home each night that, in general, the travel expense does not qualify as "away from home" expense; and is not deductible on page 1. It may he deducted as miscellaneous expense, if it is ordinary and necessary In carrying on the duties TOUClfe tlHTtt The 1960-S1 Winter will in the books as the touf yet encountered by the mi|ii expense may be claimed as mis- »°ce men of the state I*vtsion\ of cellaneous deductions page 3, if Midways, big snowstorms hit I^li nois around Thanksgiving Di and since that time the 2,700 m*n In the snow and ice removal ere' have been working forty to eight hours a week to keep the roado •pen, Prank N.
