          Respondent allowed expenses to the extent of petitioner's                   
          reported Schedule F income for each year in issue.  Respondent              
          disallowed the remaining deductions claimed on the ground that              
          petitioner failed to establish that the expenses were ordinary              
          and necessary within the meaning of section 162 and for lack of             
          substantiation.                                                             
               Respondent's determinations, having been made in a notice of           
          deficiency, are presumed correct, and petitioner bears the burden           
          of proving such determinations to be erroneous.  Rule 142(a);
