Farmeis Have To Dec. 15 

 To File '44 Tax Retains 



Although many farmers have re- 

 ceived declaration forms for income 

 and victory tax for 1944, they are not 

 required to file their declarations until 

 Dec. 15, unless more than 20 per cent 

 of their gross income is from sources 

 other than farming, reports J. B. Cun- 

 ningham, associate professor of farm 



management, U. of I. College of Agri-

 the farmer subject to penalty unless he 

 underestimates his tax by more than 

 33-1/3 per cent and unless this re- 

 mains uncorrected as of Dec. 15.
