"Most of the objection to our income taxes," Magnuson said, "is that by the time an individual has finished his computation he is worn out and in a dreadful humor. There is no reason why our income taxes can't be based upon what he needs for revenue and be made so simple it will be no task to figure them. That is what my legislation will seek to bring about."

(A") Oregon's vegetable production has more than doubled during the war years, the U. S. Department of Agriculture reports. The 1946 vegetable crop. In cluding that, produced for the fresh market and for processing, totaled 3id,100 tons, a gain of 14 per cent over 1945, and more than double the 1939 harvest The 1946 production was gathered from 98,800 acres, compared with 37,000 acres in 1939.' Of the vegetables crown for 1 processing, the tonnage of tpeas and sweet corn was up consider ably from 1945. The snap bean crop was about the same, and t beet tonnage was down. Cantaloupe, lettuce and onion I crops showed the largest in- 1 creases over 1945. ! The value of the 1946 -truck , crop was $17,194,000, ' or three per cent less than in 1345. Lower prices caused the drop. I Price Drops Offset Prices received by farmers on November 15 stood at 254 per cent of the 1935-39 average, a drop of one point from the pre ceding month, but 30 per cent higher than in November 1945. Declines in the prices of apples, chickens and turkeys were offset by increases in wheat, oats, barley and hay. Prices paid by ' farmers on November 15 were 66 per cent above the 1935-39 average. : The federal crop reporting service says the value of Oregon's principal crops in 1946 was $237, 500,000, a gain of 19 per cent over 1945. and about 31 times the . value of ihe 1939 crop. 1 Since the federal government predicted the 1947 wheat crop will be the largest in history, growers are advised to start looking now lor storage facilities, and to make other plans for handling their crop. Pig Crop Declines Oregon's fall Die ctod is down. During the six months ended De cember 1, 105,000 pigs were saved. 24 per cent less than were saved a year earlier. The spring and fall ctods com. bined totaled 279,000 head, or 6 per cent less than in 1945. Badly-needed boxcars to move Oregon wheat to terminal mar kets are on the way.
