Mrs. Lottie Foss of Boise, Ida., is visiting her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Steve Holmes and children; her sister, Wheat Is a good poultry feed- but combining It with corn makes It even better. Results of wheat feeding trials at Oregon State University show that complete replacement of corn with wheat In present day poultry rations will result in some decrease In overall per formance. The research is re ported in the fall Issue of Ore gon's Agricultural Progress, pub lished by the OSU Agricultural Experiment Station. According to George Arscott, OSU poultry scientist, some corn should be fed with the wheat to improve growth of broilers. This can be done by feeding equal parts of wheat and corn through the feeding period, or by using a corn finishing ration for the last few weeks. Either of these two methods Increases carcass pigmentation, which Is also a problem with wheat-fed broilers. The broiler study showed a significant decrease in bodyi weight, poorer feed conversion and less thank pigmentation in broilers fed wheat compared to those fed corn. However, the personal property lax a a major deterrent to economic growth and Job creation In the state. New business locating In Ore gon, they contend, is faced with paying one of the nation s high est i-ronaI property taxes even before the firm begins to make a profit. To alleviate these Inequities, the Interim Committee on tax atlon will submit a bill to the legislature which would reduce the tax on Inventories and other Personal properties by one-third. The revenue loss to local govern ments by this reduction would then be replaced by a 1 per cent net Income tax on all business. The apparent effect of the bill would partially shift the burden from an "additional tax" on In ventory and other personal prop erty to a tax measured more on a firm's ability to pay, thus broadening the tax base and In effect requiring all business to more fairly shoulder the total personal properly tax. Otpostlon to the bill has gen erally come from firms nrit re quiring inventory who would be subject to the additional 1 per cent net income tax on business. The bill received House ap proval during the 163 session, but the legislature adjourned be fore the Senate had an oppor tunity to vote on the proposal IRRIGON NEWS The Irrigon Assembly of Cod church sponsored a drive for used toys and clothing to be sent to the Valdez Children home at Alaska.
