5.52% LOANS JJttl OfcOjSa The Law Serves You Give To Your Political Party And Get Income Tax Deduction If you make a donation to the political party of your choice during this year's presidential election race, you can expect to win a deduction or credit on your federal income tax return whether or not your candidate wins election. A new tax law, namely Tax Code Sec. 41, gives individual income taxpayers the right to a limited tax deduction or credit for cash contributions made to local, state or national political campaigns out of money earned after 1971. According to the Illinois Stpte Bar association, it is the first time any politically-based tax deduction or credit has been allowed since the federal in­ come tax became law in 1913. The code allows the in­ dividual taxpayer to itemize deductions of up to $50 for his contributions to: (1) individual candidates for national, state or local elective offices) (2) committees or associations organized and operated ex­ clusively for influencing the nomination or election of one or more candidates for national, state or local elective office, or (3) national, state, and local committees of national political parties (a national party is defined as one whose can­ didates for President and Vice President, or their electors, appear on the ballots of ten or more states). If the taxpayer doesn't itemize his deductions, he can subtract his political con­ tributions - up to $12.50 - directly from his tax liability. In other words, after making the necessary computations to determine his tax, he then may deduct $12.50 - or the actual amount of his donation if less than that -- from his tax bill. In the case of joint returns, the limits are double - that is, the maximum for itemized political contributions is $100 and the maximum tax credit -when deductions are not itemized is $25. Again, if actual donations by the taxpayers amounted to less than the maximum, then only that lesser amount can be entered as a deduction or credit. To qualify for the deduction or credit, certain requirements must be met. If the contributions are made in the name of a candidate for elective office, or in the name of a committee, association or other group organized ex­ clusively for the support of a candidate, that candidate must have announced for office prior to the end of 1972. The con­ tribution, however,'may pre­ date that announcement. Also, the taxpayer should have a receipt to show for his contribution. A cancelled check may serve the same purpose but the taxpayer could be asked to further establish the eligibility of his contribution. Sec. 276 of the Tax code disallows deductions for ad­ vertising in convention programs of political parties (other than Presidential nominating conventions), for admission charges to political dinners and programs and for the price of admission to inaugural events. However, in the case of a political dinner, any contribution over and above the actual cost of the dinner may be counted in the tax deduction or credit.

From The Farm Crickets ordinarily find their food supply in pastures, fen- cerows and other grassy areas. But ffften when these areas begin to dry up in late August and early September, crickets begin to migrate. And they may end up in your home. It's too early to tell whether crickets will migrate this year. But a chlordane spray around the foundation, can help to reduce the number of crickets that get into your home. The average house requires about 3 gallons of finished spray. Use Vz pint of 45-percent or 10 tablespoons of 72-percent chlordane concentrate in 3 gallons of water.

Statistics show that the farm accident rate jumps sharply at harvest time. Make sure all your equipment is in good shape and that all shields and guards are properly in place. If you're using a new piece of equipment for the first time this fall, be sure you know how to adjust and operate it properly. Help keep the farm ident rate down this fall. their money's worth, they must treat concrete properly during the first week of its life. A chemical reaction between cement and water starts as soon as the two are mixed. And the reaction continues or months. The first week is critical. It's important to keep the water in the concrete mixture from soaking into the ground or evaporating before most of the chemical reaction is complete. Wet the, ground before placing concrete on hot sum­ mer days. Then, when you have the desired finish and the concrete has set, cover it with plastic film or spray it with a curing compound so the water won't evaporate rapidly. Weight the plastic to keep the wind from blowing it away. Leave the plastic down for at least three days - for a week if possible. . is related to both the' proportion of the various ingredients and to the curing. But the curing is what is most often neglected. Don't start a concrete job without having an un­ derstanding with your con­ tractor about covering the new concrete as soon as it sets. A good mix placed in t|?e morning on a hot day could result in poor concrete if exposed to the sun all afternoon. The water will evaporate quickly from the surface leaving uncured cement on the surface that wUl~w--» dust or flake away. ITEM: Our nation's litter bill is more than one billion dollars a year.

WEED CONTROL Don't just curse the weeds you find in your crop fields as you begin to harvest this fall. Take a few minutes to note what problems are most serious. And then use that in­ formation when you make plans to control weeds next year. By harvest time, weeds have already competed with your crop and taken their toll. Plan to get the weeds early next year. CARE OF CONCRETE Most livestock producers and homeowners invest a lot of money in concrete.
