Cullen, director of Internal Revenue for San Francisco district, explained this week. He said farmers. who file an estimated return by January 15 and pay the tax due have until April 15 to file a final income tax return and pay any balance of tax due. Otherwise, the law requires they file their final income tax return and pay the full amount of: their tax by Feb-. ruary 15. Mr. Cullen said this option is available to farmers only. The tax law defines a farmer as one who derives two-thirds or more of his gross income from farming. He advised farmers that if they filed federal income tax returns last year, the necessary forms for 1959. will be mailed to them. For those who did not file, or who, for some other reason, do not receive forms in the mail, blank forms -may be’ obtained from the neares€ Internal Revenue office or from local post offices or banks.

Surely, Mr. Brown must be aware of this. If he is not aware that these bonds are available, he is a poor administrator.
