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

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,
