CttITZ DR. TARSISH COMING HERE JANUARY Tax On Hogs Is Explained Certain, misunderstandings that have grown up in rural communities regarding the processing tax on hogs are explained in information released by T. J. Conner, collector o f internal revenue fo r the First District o f Ohio, Springfield. “ A producer o f hogs,” Mr, Conner states, “ that is, a breeder o f hogs, may slaughter for consumption by himself and members o f his family without being classed as processor, since a processor of hogs is defined as a- person who slaughters hogs for market, that is, for sale. However, if a producer sells all or any portion o f his slaughtered hogs, he becomes a processor subject to the filing o f monthly returns as in the case of abattoirs and packing Rouses,” The processing tax rate on hogs fo r January will remain at $1 per hundred weight instead o f the ori­ ginally prescribed rate o f $L60 fo r January, according to information re­ ceived by Mr, Conner from Washing­ ton, D.
