WHALEN CORNERS
Answer: A Farmers’ Guide
and Account Book was issued
for the fir^t time in 1948. Over
700,0'00 copies were distributed
to the farmers all across -Canada.
11 was found that very few
farmers attempted to keep their
records in the Account , Book,
preferring to use their own ac
count methods. As a result the
account books will not be Re
issued. As there was very little
to add to the income tax in
formation. published last year it
was decided to wait Until the
new Income Tax Act which ap
plies to the 1949 returns to be
filed On or before April 30, 1950
before issuing a new Income yax
Guide. In its place a pamphlet
has been prepared that attempts
to aid the farmer in filling out
his 1948 return, which must be
filed by April 30, 1949, These
pamphlets will be available at
District Tax Offices on or before
April 15,
Question: We would like to
know what amount the govern
ment .paid out in office rent and
supplies and salaries to collect
income tax. What percent of the
tax collected was tile cost.
Answer: -Mr, D. J. Agnew,
Director of Public Information
Branch refers to Question No. 1
tor the answer to this, which is
1.49% of the total tax collected.
Questlbn: ,We have heard that
government employees pay no
income tax on their salaries.

Farm Notes
From Abroad
British Food Subsidies
Budget estimates submitted to
Parliament by the British Minis
try of Food .show that altogether
$6,129 million will be spent on
foodstuffs., during the 1949 fiscal
year, and this will be resold for
$L56'4 million, The losses are
taken to keep -down the cost of
living and are covered by food
subsidies,
U, S. Jlog Support
To meet the requirements of
the Agricultural Act of 194.8 the
United States Department of
Agriculture has announced the
schedule , of hog support prices
for the April-september period
of 1949. During the period hog
prices will be supported at 90
per cent of the March 15 parity
price of $17.90 per 1'00 pounds.
Prices currently received by
farmers are above parity and on
March 15 averaged $20 for 100
pounds.
Butter Production
World butter production dur
ing the fourth quarter of ,1948 is
estimated at 742,2 million
pounds,, which represents at 9
per cent increase over the cor
responding period of the previous
year. Of . the chief producing
countries only Australia’s pro
duction declined, and only by
two per cent.
Formula Figures
Key To Contents
Were you ever puzzled by the
formula figures—such as 4-8-10
printed o-n a bag of commercial
mixed fertilizer? They are .there
for your protection, fertilizer of
ficials of the Dominion Depart
ment of Agriculture point out, •
The formula .figures printed
on the bag simply indicate the
proportionate quantities of the
main plant foods contained in
the fertilizer.
But these plant foods—nitro
gen, phosphoric acid and potash
—must be incorporated in the
fertilizer so that they can be
applied to the soil evenly over
large areas. This ’could
spread around. How
done?
Well, in a 100-pound
4-8-10 mixed fertilizer
stance, there are usually twenty
pounds of nitrogen chemicals,
such as sulphate of ammonia, to
supply the four per c ent of
nitrogen. Then there are forty
pounds Of superphosphate to
supply the eight percent of phos
phoric acid, 'and 18 pounds of
muriate of potash. This adds up
to 78 pounds. The remaining 22
pounds is generally dolmite
limestone, which contains some
calcium and. magnesium—both
good for the soil.
So, although the actual meth
ods of getting these essential
plant foods into the fertilizer
bag may vary with different
formulas, the final result is .al
ways the same. The plant foods
will alwaysi be there in the pro
portionate quantities .stated in
the formula figures on the bag.
The first of the formula fig
ures always stands for nitrogen,
the second always for phosphoric
acid, and the last always for
potash. That is the thing fo re
member, for the figures are the
..................................................................................^..i
key to the contents of the bag. .
Different crops and soils re
quire different formulas , the
officials say. Your district agri
cultural representative or near
est soil specialist can help you
tq select the right one for your
particular crop or soil.

1948 Poultry Export
The year 1948 was a record
one for .the export of poultry.
Over 44 million pounds of live
and dressed birds were shipped
out of Canada. The principal
market was the United , States,
and during the year 29.6 million
pounds of live poultry and 13.1
million pounds of dressed birds
moved across the border. The
British West Indies took over
half a million pounds of dressed
poultry, and the new province
of Newfoundland, just under
half a million. Belgium and
Switzerland were the heaviest
buyers. • Altogether, the trade
was worth $20 million.

Canadian Tobacco
Canadian 'farmers .grow one
crop that always goes up in
smoke — tobacco. Tobacco has
been grown in Canada for over
410 0 years, but it was only in
1720 that production totals were
first recorded, In that year the
yield was just over 4 8,'000
pounds. In 1948 it was about
1211 million pounds.
Ninety per cent of the 1948
tobacco crop was grown in. Ont
ario Which .Specializes In flue-
cured, hurley and. dark tobacco
types, Quebec provihee makes a
speciality of tobacco for pipes
and cigars, and in 1948 grew all
of the Canadian crop of pipe to
bacco, 88 per cent of the cigar
tobacco and only 5 per cent of
the cigarette type.
Bell Expanding,
Improving Service
Somewhere in Ontario and
Quebec, within the last few days,
the 1,500,000th Bell telephone
was added to the growing system
within the two provinces.
Reviewing the growth of the
Bell facilities in the post-war
period, half a million telephones
have gone into service since the
beginning of 1945 which is equal
to the increase for the 21-year
period from 1923 to 1944. The
million and a quarter mark was
reached In August, 1947, and
installation has proceeded at a
record pace ever .since, Each
month 12,iOOO neW telephones
are being installed to meet the
continuing high demand. In the
first three months of .this year
the system has added 37,000
telephones.
The backlog of applications
for service remains .high with
82,800 waiting in Ontario and
Quebec. Here in Exeter there are
still Orders to be filled, Mr.
Symonds, Decal Manager, said,
Meantime, the company’s vast
construction program continues
apace to further expand and Ini-
prove the service.
