Weed Control in Pastures
There has been $ lot of in-
terest this spring in chemical
weed control in pastures. This
practice is good, if carried out
early, before weeds get large
and tough. It is too late now to
get control with chemicals.
Federal Gasoline Tax Refund
R. L. Phinney, District Direc-
tor, Internal Revenue service,
has announced that farmers
may obtain a refund of the Fed-
eral Excise tax on gasoline
which is used for farming pur-
poses during* the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1957, by filing
a claim at any time after June
30 and before October 1, 1957.
Claims for the present Feder-
al tax rate of 3 cents a gallon
are to be made on form 2240,
which may be obtained together
with instructions from the coun-
ty agent’s office. Also avail-
able at this location is a book-
let, Publication No. 308, Farm-
er’s Gasoline Tax Refund Guide,
which explains the farmer’s gas
tax refund program.
Mr. Phinney cautions, " farm-
ers expecting to file claims
should keep ample records to
enable Internal Revenue to ver-
ify acccuracy of the amount
claimed.’’

Accurate Weighing
1. Who tests the scales at a
market?
Any competent scale agency
so long as it tests according to
instructions from the minimum
load to the maximum load
weighed. A P&S representative
will witness most tests.
2. How are the scales tested?
By using metal test weights
that have been calibrated at a
certain weight. They are usual-
ly 50 lb. weights or 1,000 lb.
weights. They are placed on the
scale platform starting at 50
lbs. and building up to the max-
imum load usually weighed on
the scale. The scale is checked
for accuracy each time a weight
is given.

6. What shouuld a person do
if he is not satisfied with the
weight of his livestock? —-
Request immediately that the
livestock be reweighed. If that
is not possible, report the inci-
dent immediately to the P&S
district supervisor. Although
the animals may be gone by
that time and cannot be re-
weighed,- the scales can be
checked.

A truck with built-in stamina —
that’s Chevy. Whether highballing
down highways or roughing it
across rugged terrain, or doing de-
livery duty in town, dependable
“can-take-it” Chevrolets are cutting
downtime to the barest minimum.
A truck with a choice of ready-
to-go power—that’s Chevy. From an
advanced lineup of eight engines—
140 to 210 hp—you can save by
choosing the power precisely
matched to your job. Thanks to
compact weight-saving design,
Chevrolet’s V8’s deliver high power
per pound of engine weight—power
that works harder for you. Chevy
truck 6’s are famous for their stay-
ing power. Whichever engine you
choose, you know it’s got the power
to back up every inch of brawn in
every Chevrolet Task-Force truck.
A truck for your job—that’s
Chevrolet, too. From pickups to
middleweights to high-tonnage tan-
dems, there’s one just right for your
job. See yoqr Chevrolet dealer.
