before that date.
Non-cooperators may plant all
the corn or grain sorghum acre-

placed under loan.
Growers w ho do comply must
divert at least 20 percent of their
feed grain base into conservation

they will be eligible for price sup-
ports on the normal production
from reduced acreage.
Producers who need assistance

Must File Return For
Income Tax Refund
Special message to students and
part-time workers from the In-
ternal Reve nue Service.
Refund paynu nts of federal in-
come taxes withheld from wages
are paid only upon the filing of
a proper federal income tax re-
turn.
“While everyone whose income
was $600 or more during 1961
must file a return ($1200 for those
65 and over)," the IRS represen-
tative stressed, “we find fre-
quent cases of people apparently
believing that because their tax
withheld was greater than their
tax owed, they will automatically
get a proper refund.
“Somewhat the same belief is
held by students or other young
people who worked during a por-
tion of the year and whose taxes
were withheld from their salaries
or wages. TO get a refund, they,
too. must file a return, even if
such income was under $600.”
“For all filers,” the IRS repre-
sentative said, “the filing dead-
line this year is Monday, April
! 16, because April IS falls on a
Sunday; but those taxpayers en
titled to a refund would do well
as seta as possible.”
