Red Cross Aids
Thirty Million
qcti of War
In the four years since the start
of the war in Europe, 35 million
war victims in thirty nations have
benefited by aid extended by and
through the American Red Cross.
Details of this program are con-
mined in a recent statement issued
by Red Cross national headquarters
in Washington, and provided a
comprehensive view of the or-
ganization's widespread wartime re-
lief activities.
Of the $80,000,00 thus furnished
since the war began, about half

SOMEWHERE IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC,--Working with assembly-'
line precision, ground men load bombs into a TBF at a secret coral
island air field---one of the jumping off places for the current South
Pacific Allied offensive. Fourteen days before this bomber field
(shown in photo above) was completed there was nothing on this spot
but cocoanut palms and jungle. Cord-wood fashion, bundles of steel
landing mat are unloaded from ship to beach to air field and many
sections have planes rolling on them by nightfall of the same day.
This sudden transition is made possible by the use of steel mats,
many of which are made by United States Gypsum company, which
has converted for the duration from the production of metal lath for
gypsum plaster walls and ceilings of buildings to landing mat, ex-
panded metal and steel gratings used widely in ships, airplanes and
other vital war equipment. .....

form of government-provided sup-
plies channelled through theFarmers M File I
American Red Cross. From the ust

Red Cross' own treasury, funds
totalling more than $18,000,000, and
articles of wearing apparel, con-
venience and comfort (produced in
the 3,756 Red Cross chapters
throughout the United States) val-
ued at nearly $20,000,000, went for
the same purpose. 'And this, des-
pi~e difficulties in transportation
and in procuring the necessary
supplies, the changing situation due
to our entry into the war and
numerous other obstacles which
had to be overcome.
"The steady flow of relief sup-
plies to war victims in the United
Nations continues," said chairman
Norman H. Davis of the American
Red Cross. "We were ably assisted
by three million volunteer work-
ers in those nations in carrying out
this program."

Tax Returns by March 15
Even though they flied declara-
tions of estimated tax in Septem-
ber or December, the following
,ersons in general must file in-
:ome tax returns on or before
March 15:
1. Every single person whose
gross income in 1943 was $500 or
more.
2. Every individual married per-
son whose gross income was more
than $624.
3. Every married couple whose
combined gross income was $1200
or more.
4. Every person who paid or owed
a tax on 1942 income.
Excepted from filing on March
15 are servicemen and others out-
~side the country, and wives of ser-
vicemen outside the country if the
wife's own income is less than
$1,200.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue
advises all persons to file their re-
turns early to determine how they
stand• Many people will be about
even with the government, a num-
ber of people will find they have
a sizeable payment to make, and
still others will find that the gov-
ernment owes them money.
Income tax returns of farmers as
well as of most other persons will
be due on or before March 15, and
livestock raisers, fruit and truck
growers, poultry raisers, and opera-
tors of plantations and ranches are
considered farmers by the Bureau
of Internal Revenue.
Farmers may keep their records
and file their returns of income
either on the basis of cash received
and paid out during the taxable
year or on an accrual basis--mean-
ing on a basis of income earned
and obligations incurred during the
taxable year whether or not cash
changed hands• If a farmer uses
the cash basis, he retest fill in and
file Form 1040F, "Schedule of Farm
Income and Expenses," along with
Form 1040. If he uses the accrual
basis, use of Form 1040F is op-
tional. Regardless of which basis
he uses, he may report on the
calendar year or he may report on
his own fiscal year.
Using the Cash Basis
Let's suppose that the farmer
decides to use the cash basis. In
that case he does not use inven-
tories to determine his profit. He
must include in his gross income:
(I) the amount of cash or the
value of merchandise or other pro-
perty he received during the tax-
able year from the sale of livestock
or produce he raised, regurdless of
when he raised it; (2) his profits
from the sale of any livestock or
other items; and (3) his gross in-
come from all other sources.
Using the Accrual Basis
If the farmer decides to use the
accrual basis, he uses inventories
to determine gross profits. First,
he adds to the inventory value of
livestock and produce on hand at
the end of the year, the amount
he received from the sale of live-
stock and produce and miscellan-
eous income he received during the

More Grasshoppers Studies Show
GRASSHOPPER INFESTATION £XPE, GTED IN NORTH DAKOTA IN 1944
DRAWN FROIII EIlli DURVEY OATA ORTAINF.I) 118 F&LLt|~M~
That North Dakota in 1944 may
be confronted with a definitely
more serious grasshopper situation
than that which prevailed in 1943
is indic~ted by surveys completed
late last summer and fall by the
NDAC Extension se_.r~cS and en-
tomologists of the u. . Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
A state ma~ indicating where the
infestation is expected to appear
has just been prepared bY the
Extension service.
Most of the trouble probably will
come in the southern and western
counties, with the northern end of
the state fairly well out of the
threatening area.
Heaviest danger centers take in
arts of most of the southern and
P .... --~th that whom
western cotm~m~, w,
section showing an infestation. In
the west the infestation runs as far
north as Williams county, reaching
almost to the Divide county line.
In the east, Cass and a small part
of southern Traill, where the infes-
tation is considered "threatening"
represent about the northern fringe
of infestation. An isolated are~
of infestation appears where the
Wells, Pierce and Benson county
lines join.
The Extension service and federal
entomologists are keeping a close
check on the situation, and in some
of the heaviest-infested counties
steps may be taken later this
spring to organize control set-ups
for action in case an emergency
develops and crops are threatened.
The main loss in yield and qual-
ity of oats the past three years in
eastern North Dakota has been
from stem and leaf rust. These
losses can he avoided through the
use of the recently developed more
disease resistant varieties Vicland,
Tama or Boone, according to W. J.
Leafy, NDAC Extension service
agronomist.
These yellow oats originate from
a cross between Victoria, an Aus-
tralian variety and Richland (Iowa
105)• They are similar in time of
maturity, length and strength of
straw and rust and smut resis-
tance. In comparison with Gopher
they are slightly earlier and shorter
in straw.
Marion, a white oat, is another
new variety which is also gaining
l in favor. This variety is not as
leaf rust resistant as the above
group but has longer straw and
grows taller than Gopher and is as
early. This variety will likely be
more popular on the lighter soils
and in those areas where farmers
have found the Gopher to be a
little too short.
Tests at the Fargo and Edegley
experiment stations have shown in-
creased yields from 13 to 40 bushels
for these varieties during the past
three years when rust losses were
severe. Such yield advantages
should not be expected when rust
is not severe. At the Dickinson
and Wtlliston stations rust has not
been so troublesome and these oats
have not shown yield advantage
over Gopher.
Supplies of these varieties are
fairly ample due to amounts that
were increased by North Dakota
growers in eastern counties in 1943.
About 20 farmers started in 1942
and last year there were 500 grow-
ers of these new more rust-resis-
tant varieties. Seed dealers in a
number of the co~U~ are
carrying supplies of these varieties.
County agents can be of assistance
in suggesting local sources of seed.

Experts Explain
Causes of Laying
Hens MoNting
"W~at causes my laying hens to
go into a moult at this time of
year?" is a common question be-
ing received these days by the
NDAC poultry department, accord-
ing to J. Earl Cook, Extension ser-
vice poultryman.
Experienced poultry men have
found that there are several things
tt~tt might cause hens to quit lay-
ing and go into a moult, but the
most common one is that the birds
are not getting enough feed to
maintain their body weight.
Them is a direct relationship be-
tween the body weight of the hens
and whether they will continue
high winter production uninter-
rupted. If the birds lose weight
there is danger that they wlU
slump in production and begin to
moult.
Poultry producers should examine
their birds occasionally. If they
have lost weight or appear thin,
increase feed consumption by giv-
ing more grain, particularly corn or
millet. A moist mash could be
fed at noon. Use their regular lay-
Lug mash moistened with milk if
available. At this noon feeding,
give what they will clean up in 20
minutes to half an hour.
In order to keep an accurate
[check on whether the birds are
gaining or losing weight, band
[about 5 percent of the hens, or
at least 19 in the flock, with color-
} ed bands, So there is no mistaking
them, and weigh these birds about
once a month as a check on the
condition of the flock.
