The delegation of Morrow
county wheat farmers to the an
nual meeting of the Oregon
Wheat Growers League and the
National Association of wheat
growers held earlier this month
indicated that our wheat farm
ers are much interested In at
tempting to solve the problems
facing them at this time. Much
time was spent at both the state
and national meetings In at
tempting to draft a wheat pro
gram which might be considered
by congress and at the same
time provide an income to the
wheat farmer under which they
might exist. Written Into the pro
gram was means to eliminate the
surplus which Is now facing us.

It appears that 1959 will be
a busy year for this hard work
ing group.
With 1959 only a few days
away it won't be long until we
will be right In the midst of our
centennial year. Groups in many
of our counties are active in pre
paring their little part to con
tribute to a big year in observing
this Centennial. Only recently
this office received a list of films
on Oregon available from the de
partment of visual instruction at
Oregon State College which are
aprpopriate for use by various
groups who might be planning
some type of a program to better
acquaint our people about the
history of our state. Further In
formation can be secured by con
tacting this office.

It Is timely, therefore, to
mind these operators, some
re-
of
whom have not had any exper
lence in hog production in the
past that many hogs are lost
every year from pneumonia
which is often caused by Inade
quate housing. The weather
which we have had over thp
last couple of weeks is quite
inducive to these kinds of loss
es. Adequate housing may be
provided by an open shed closed
on three sides. It Is necessary to
have proper drainage so water
will not run back Into the build
ing. Pay particular attention to
prevent cross drafts. In some in
stances housing is too tight for
hoes. This results in overheating
which attributes to the suseptl-
billty ol pneumonia, btraw, low
quality hay, or shavings make
excellent bedding. Do not get it
too deep as hogs will tend to
crawl into the bedding and the
smaller ones may get mashed.

Phosporus promotes rapid

especially in the early stages.
It also promotes blossoming and

George Bergen, Washington vice
president of the Federation ap
peared before many Congress
ional Committees to explain the
vital need for this revision.
Tax savings up to 25 will re
sult for many enterprises.
The background is briefly this.
Many small lirms arc incorporat
ed largely to take advantage of
the limited liability of such an
operation of the principals.
But under the law, as it exist
ed, such a small corporation had
to pay 527 of any profit over
$25,000, plus a heavy tax on the
first $25,1100. This has taken away
from these small enterprises
capital needed to expand, or
compete.
Under the revision of the law
passed by Congress, these cor
porations can now elect to be
taxed as partnerships. In many
cases, the tax rate on the indi
viduals Is far less.

Tha internal Revenue Service
has set up for the present the
following regulations. Any dom
estic corporation, not a member
of an affiliated group of corpor
ations, with not more than 10
shareholders, with only one kind
of stock, and whose sharehold
ers, with the exception of es
tates, are individuals, can elect
to be taxed as a partnership.
For the tax year of 1958, such
small corporations that qualify
who elect to take advantage of
this benefit, such election must
be made not later than Decem
ber 1 of this year.
Naturally, whether or not a
qualified corporation elects this
method is a highly technical
matter which undoubtedly will
be preceeded by conferences
with the accountants.
But it is interesting to note
that for the first time in income
Jax law history, a definite, specif
ic provision is being made to am
the small business operation, and
to put the taxes on small busi
ness at least on some semblance
of a basis of equity.
This provision is just one of
the several passed in the last
Congress to protect the welfare
of independent enterprise. And
while this provision, and the oth
ers, do not do the entire job,
needed, it is significant that a
start has been made.
Equally as significant Is this
fact. Many times In the past,
huge corporations, employing ex
pensive batteries of legal talent
in Washington, have serured re
visions of the tax laws for their
beneft. But this Is the first in
stance where a grass roots
movement has resulted In a tax
reform not to benefit one or two
Coliaths, but one that can help
a widespread number of small
business enterprises.
