REIMER, 44-3 County Judge. (COUNTY COURT SEAL) What’s New In Prices And Rationing OPA announced a number of items during the week that will please Nebraskans. For example, due to the unusual cold weather in February, fuel oil rations were increased. The validity date for Class One and Two Coupons for Period Five (good for 11 gallons each) has been moved up to March 8. Then, too, we were relieved to learn that it is extravagant, fool ish, unnecessary and dangerous to jump on the “apparel run” band wagon, because we are assured that there are enough raw mater ials and adequate manufacturing facilities to meet our normal clothing demands. It was good news to learn that the price of eggs came under ceil ing regulations. It was announced that prices will be based on four quality gradings: AA, A, B, and C. In each grading there will be five sizes: Jumbo, extra large, large, medium, and small. For ex ample, in Lincoln and Omaha, the retail price for large AA will be 50 cents per dozen; large A 48 cents per dozen: large B 46 cents per dozen; large C 42 cents. We learned also that even in the matter of shoe repairs our pocketbooks will be protected, because the cobblers cannot charge us today more than they charged in March, 1942. There seems to have been wide spread disregard of OPA regula tions in connection with slaugh tering of meats by country slaugh terers. As a result of this, twelve restraining orders were granted in Federal District Court against Nebraskans who had slaughtered in excess of their quota, who had disregarded price ceilings, and who had sold meat that had not been officially inspected, graded and stamped. We are urged not to lose pa tience with the gasoline station attendant who refuses to sell us gasoline unless: we have our mileage ration book, our correct sticker is properly displayed, the ■vehicle is the same as the one de scribed on the ration book cover, the ration book has not expired, there are enough coupons for the purchase, the coupons are prop erly endorsed on the back by the purchaser, and are not detached. Income Tax Deadline Now Close At Hand Losses of farmers: Losses in curred in the operation of farms as business enterprises are de ductible from gross income. If farm products are held for favor able markets, no deduction on ac count of shrinkage in weight or physical value, or by reason of deterioration in storage, is allow ed, except as such shrinkage may be reflected in an inventory if used in determining profits. The destruction by frost, storm, flood, or fire of a prospective crop is not a deductible loss in computing income since it repre sents the loss of anticipated prof its which have never been report ed as income. Likewise, a farmer engaged in raising and selling livestock, such as cattle, sheep, and hogs, is not entitled to claim as a loss the value of animals that perish from among those animals that were raised on the farm, ex cept as such loss is reflected in an inventory, if used. If livestock has been purchased for any pur pose, and afterward dies from dis ease, exposure, or injury, or is killed by order of the authorities of a State or the United States, the actual purchase price of such livestock, less any depreciation allowable as a deduction in re spect of such perished livestock, may be deducted as a loss if the loss is not compensated for by in surance or otherwise. The actual cost of other property iwith prop er adjustments for depreciation) which is destroyed by order of State or Federal authorities may likewise be claimed as a loss. If reimbursement is made by a State or the United States in whole or in part on account of stock killed or other property destroyed in re spect of which a loss was claimed in a prior year, the amount re ceived is required to be reported as income for the year in which reimbursement is made. The cost of any feed, pasture, or care which has been deducted as an expense of operation must not be included as part of the cost of the stock for the purpose of ascer taining the amount of a deduct ible loss. If gross income is ascertained by the use of inventories, no de duction can be taken separately for livestock or products lost dur ing the year, whether purchased for resale or produced on the farm, as such losses will be re flected in the inventory by reduc ing the amount of livestock or products on hand at the close of the year, which has the effect of reducing gross income from bus iness by the amount of the loss. If an individual owns and op erates a farm in addition to being engaged in another trade or bus iness or calling, and sustains a loss from the farming operations, such loss may be deducted from gross income received from all sources in determining the tax payers’ net income, provided such farm is not operated for recre ation or pleasure. If a farm is operated for recre ation or pleasure and not on a commercial basis, and if the ex penses incurred in connection therewith are in excess of the re ceipts therefrom, the entire re ceipts from the sale of products may be ignored in rendering a return of income, and the ex penses incurred, being regarded as personal expenses, will not constitute allowable deductions for Federal income tax purposes. Prices On Cattle Remain High At Local Sale On Monday’s market the cattle prices were steady to a little stronger with last week's average. There was a good run showed, up and also a lot of buyers were present. $16.00 to $17.70 per cwt. were paid for steer calves, while heifer calves brought from $13.50 to $15.50.
