September 15 Set For Filing Final Tax Returns More than 600,000 residents of the ten southern counties of California will be required to file income tax returns by September 15 to report their estimated 1943 income taxes, according to figures released today by Harry C. Westover, collector of internal revenue. “Nearly 1,800,000 Southern Californianis filed 1942 tax returns last March,” Westover said, “and we expect at least one-third of them to file the new estimate as required under “pay-as-you-go.” “We are still awaiting our supply of forms and instruction sheets from Washington. The moment we receive them we will start mailing copies to every person who filed last March. We hope to have forms in the mail within the next ten days. The new tax return will be known as form 104OES. “The current income tax payroll deduction of 20 per cent will take care of the tax of approximately two-thirds of the people in this district,” Westover added, “and the balance will have some additional tax to pay. “Single persons whose paychecks are being subjected to the 20 per cent deduction will file if they will earn more than $2700 this year, or if they actually earned more than that amount last year. Married persons under the same conditions will file if either this year's or last year's earnings exceed $3500.

Married persons under the same conditions will file if either this year's or last year's earnings exceed $3500. In addition, every person who had outside income, such as dividends or interest or rents in excess of $100 in either year will file a return regardless of the amount of his salary or wages. "There is a large class of people professional men, and domestics, who have no income tax deductions from their paychecks or profits. These people," Westover stated, "will be required to file estimated tax returns by September 15th in order to make themselves current along with the rest. Single persons in this class will file if their income this year will exceed $500 or actually did exceed that figure last year. A married person will have to file whose income this year will be $624 or more, even though married couples will be allowed a $1200 exemption.

Spadra, Fullerton That Shortage Is Due Lack of Plants Answering inquiries about noticeable lack of sugar beet plants in Orange county this year. C. J. Marks, executive secretary of the Orange County Farm Bureau, stated that the condition is statewide and not confined to this county alone. Whereas there were actually 172,000 acres of sugar beets harvested in California last year, it is expected that total for 1943 will be less than 75,000. According to Gordonons, executive manager for Sugar Beet Growers' association of California, "90% of the reduction is that the government failed by five months over to announce any plan for growers." Sugar has been subject to government production programs for several years due to domestic competition with imports from territories enjoying protection from the United States government. The product has been used as a tool of diplomacy with Haiti, Cuba, Hawaii and the Philippines for some years, according to Marks, and domestic products has not received much encouragement. There has been a price increase on sugar for several years despite the efforts of growers get the ceiling raised from level maintained before Pearl Harbor, there has been no increased price. Growers and processors in California and the United States attempt to secure enough courage through adept prices for production to maintain the sugar beet industry during Bonnie Cleaners 242 E.

The immediate necessity, stated Gordon Lyons in consulting with the directors of the California Farm Bureau Federation, is to get the officials in Washington to state definitely what their program is to be for 1944 and to do so by October 1, 1943.

BUY DEFENSE STAMPS AND WAR BONDS Home Victory Gardeners profiting by their summers experience, may now include celery in their planting plans with every promise of success, according to the Agricultural Extension service. Celery is a cool season crop and must mature during cool weather, the service points out. From 110 to 125 days are required for celery to reach the harvest stage from summer plantings, and a much longer time is required if the crop is planted in the fall. Celery planted during the fall or winter is likely to go to seed in the spring except in a few of southern California's warmer areas. The best time for setting out plants in the Southland are through the months of July to September, so the planting season is just at its height at present. Additional information given by the Extension service include the fact that golden celery should be blanched by wrapping paper around each plant a month before harvest. The paper should cover the stalks but not the leaves. After fall rains begin, plants should be sprayed with Bordeaux mixture every 10 to 14 days to protect them from ecelery blight.
