EACH YEAR a few farmers receive notices that they owe a
penalty for underpayment of estimated taxes, even though
they have filed farm returns on time
Here's where the Internal Revenue Service's definition of a
farmer comes in Since a lot of folks live on farms but make
more money off the farm, it was necessary for the IRS to
define a farmer for tax purposes.
For tax purposes, a farmer is a taxpayer who receives at
least two-thirds of his gross income from farming
(ienerally, farm income is income reported on Schedule F,
the farm return. However, the gain from the sale of draft,
breeding, dairy or sporting livestock, reported on Schedule
D. also is included as farm income
Farm income does not include gains from the sale of farm
land and depreciable farm equipment which are reported on
Schedule D. For example, if farm land is condemned by the
government to build a lake, the gain from selling the land
may be sufficiently large to disqualify the taxpayer as a
farmer for tax purposes.
Therefore, the taxpayer would be subject to filing an
estimate and paying the tax
Farm landlords use Form 4835 to report their share of farm
rental income based on crops or livestock produced by
tenants. By using this form, landlords get credit for farm
income and at the same time the income is not subject to
Social Security tax
The Farmers Tax Guide has full information about who is
required to file tax estimates. Copies are available at the
Jackson County OSU Extension Center
NEMATODES, SO TINY they are invisible without strong
manification, can take the toll of home gardens, often without
the gardener knowing what the problem is.
Some types of the worm-like soil borne organisms can
cause swellings on the roots and stems of many vegetables-
tomatoes are a classic example-but the real damage they do
is decreasing productivity of garden plots.
One reason they are so serious in gardens is that most
gardens are not rotated from place to place and most
vegetables are highly susceptible to nematodes.
Removal and burning of all roots after harvest in the late
summer will destroy nematodes and eggs present in the plant
materials. Flowing at this time and allowing the top layer of
soil to dry will kill many nematodes.
While fall is considered the best time to chemically treat
soils for nematodes, treatments can be made in the spring
when the soils warm. This may delay spring plantings as
soils to a depth of 6-inches must be at 50-degrees or higher for
the chemicals to spread.
The most widely used nematicide for home gardens is
DBCP, sold under the names of Fumazone, BBC-12, or
Nemagon,
With the exceptions of onions, Irish potatoes, sweet
potatoes, beets and garlic, these chemicals can be applied at
planting time, following manufacturers’ directions.
They are sold in both granular and liquid forms, but the
liquids have shown to be most effective. Other chemicals are
effective, but most require a 2-week waiting period before
gardens are planted.

FRANKFURT, West Germa-
ny (UPI) — Police today
lowered $389,000 in a briefcase
to a terrorist who stormed a
courtroom here, barricaded
himself with Iwo hostages in a
back room and threatened to
shoot them if his demands were
not met for nearly $3 million
ransom and a plane to Cuba
Police lowered the cash 1
million marks in a black
briefcase from a third floor
window to the room below
occupied by the raider and his
two captives.
The sum, however, fell far
short of the ransom demands of
the terrorist who had asked for
a total of almost $3 million in
French and Swiss francs, U.S
dollars and German marks. He
also demanded a Boeing
jetliner to fly him to Cuba
A police spokesman said
earlier the state government
had granted the terrorist’s
demands and had prepared the
sum in dollars, marks, and
French and Swiss francs, as
demanded by the gunman. He
also said a Boeing 707 was
readied for takeoff at Frankfurt
airport.
The terrorist, a ski mask
pulled low over his face,
warned police that failure to
follow his orders and assure
him safe conduct to the airport
could be a fatal mistake.'
The raider, brandishing two
pistols, stormed the Frankfurt
State Cour tTuesday demanding
the release of Gerhard Linden,
27, an alleged bank robber on
trial at the time for stealing
$778,000 with an accomplice
three years ago.
“This is a raid, the gunman
shouted. Everyone stand still.
Unden out,"
in the confusion, a court
attendant pushed Linden into a
back room.
Police said the terrorist later
(topped his original demand
for the release of Unden, who
is being held by police.
The gunman took two men
hostage - Dieter Hoss, a 32-
year-old legal adviser, and
Gottfried Schaffrath, a 59-year-
old salesman — and barricaded
himself in a room on the second
floor
Police said the gangster had
agreed to free one hostage on
his way to the airport and the
other at the airport
But police said Schaffrath,
suffering from a kidney com-
plaint, refused to be ransomed.
A police psychologist who
spoke with the terrorist on the
telephone said there was a
feeling of solidarity between the
armed man and his hostages.
