The Extension specialist
says your chances of being
sudited are greater if your
deductions stand out as Klgh

earn a similar income, But you

A TCMP audit means the
Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) has chosen your return
to help them determine to
what extent taxpayers cheat
on their returns,”” Shumard
says. “The IRS has no indica
tion of error or fraud on a
return. 1'&01 just choose
about 50, returns each
year to audit this way."
The Extension specialist
says these audits are exten
sive and will ask for documen
tation of every single item on
the return,
“The IRS conducts three
types of more or less routine
audits,” Shumard says. "A
corresondence audit means
the IRS needs more informa

could have been an old Indian

But most likely it was an old

One final point to

No doubt, it did its job and
prevented a lot of erosion.
When a pair of mules were
hitched to the plow, the old
terrace had to be made
broader so each mule would
have room to walk. But, they
could still follow the
bends and turn around easi
in working the short point
rows between terraces.
Then the old Farmall and
other early tractors came on
the scene. The new cqm?vunt
caused another n ter
races. They had to : wider,
the broad-base terrace
g:ldunlly became the stan
rd. For many years, trac
tors were slow and small, so
they could follow the tortuous
curves and even work the
point rows of the old terrace
systems.
Hydraulics, diesel power,
herbicides and ol::er technical
improvements to a pro
frenion of bigger machines:
rom two rows to four, ei%:
12 and now even 16 rows.
newer models moved a lot
faster too. They had trouble
with the sharp curves and the
point rows of the old systems,
which often looked like snakes
ulitherinfie across the land
scape when viewed from the
air.
Again, terrace systems
had to change. Terraces were
now spaced to fit the equip
ment and arranged parailel to
one another where possible, in
order to eliminate point rows.
Developing * natural
drainageways as grassed
waterways provided outlets
and eliminated the sharpest
curves. Field roads were made
part of the layout and grassed
strips were used to protect
slopes too steep to terrace.

The most recent innova
tion is the use of underground
outlets. buried along the
natural m’uuom replace
E‘lfld waterways with a sur

Rows need not be so crooked.
:n fact, the terraces in nx
ields are nnnfi' t. Again,
terrace system has changed to
accommodate the equipment.
There is no way multirow
machinery could use some of
the old mule tzsurm. So now
you may stumble over them in
the woods.
