(Signal Star Photo) Income Tax Problems Subject of Course Under Way At Kemptville College The dreaded income tax form lurks menacingly around the corner. For many people, filling out the forms and under- standing thein is harder than parting with the money. Stud- ents at the Kemptville College of Agricultural Technology, however, should have no prob- lems filing present or future returns. Because the College believes that good farm management is the key to a viable operation, a course on income tax, given by M.G. Pickard, a lecturer at the College, has been includ- ed in the general teaching pro- gram. Personal income tax, small business taxes, and taxes concerning farm operations are three main areas covered. Mr. Pickard noted that while lack of time prohibited total coverage, it was found that as the course progresses, more and more aspects of taxation be- came evident. Primarily, how- ever, he said that assignments given the students enabled them to complete and under- stand the T 1 forms, the T Gen- eral forms, and other tax return sheets applying to investment income, estate, trust, or agency taxation, and corporation income tax returns. The course also attempts to show students the benefits to be gained from farm incorpor- ation, careful bookkeeping, money management, and an awareness of changes in the In- come Tax laws as printed in Huron County4-H Club ORGANIZATION MEETINGS Brucefield Centennial School MARCH 30 - 2:00 p.m. - Exeter 4-H Calf Club - Zurich 4-H Calf Club - Exeter 4-H Sweet Corn Club - South Huron 4-H Multi -Crop Club - Bayfield 4-H Dairy Calf Club - Seaforth 4-H Calf Club - Tuckersmith 4-H Corn Club N.B. — Huron County Hog Producers 4-H Swine Clubs will organize on April 16th at 8:00 p.m. in Clinton Agricultural Board Rooms.

Mr. Pickard said the Bourse stressed the importance of a good business sense, even if this had to override emotional or aesthetic values at times. "Many people stress the aesth- etic value of farming, " he said, "but if you forget the bus- iness side of things, you're not on the farni very long." No farmer can afford to carrya non- profit sector on his frm forurely emotional reasons, said Mr. Pickard.
