business Income tax situation
By N. C ANDEBSON
The following Item la taken
from the December 14, 1964,
Uaue of the L'SDA Farm rape
Letter.
"An Increase In the percentage
ted In wheat grades No. 1, No.
2 and No. 3, has been proposed
by the U. S. Department of Agrt
culture. The revised standards
were requested by wheat grow
ers, gram elevator operators.
and exporters In the Pacific
Northwest who stated that the
rather tight limits of contrast
Ing classes were causing ec
onomic hardship to them.
A survey shows that the limits
en contrasting classes could be
liberalized without adversely af
footing the quality of products
made from wheat The changes
would Increase the percentage
of contrasting claws allowed as
follows: tirade Xto. 1, from
to It; Grade No. 2, from 1 to
lit, and Grade No. 3, from 2 to
3. The proposed revision will
be published In the December
15 Federal Registrar."
Evidentally the protest made
by various farm groups and in
dividuals Including Al Lamb,
manager. Morrow County Grain
Growers along with the meet
in held in Pendleton last Sep
tember with the Federal Grain
Division authorities, has brought
about some favorable reaction.
This Is only an example of what
can be done In the country If
people will make themselves
heard.
Diep Seen In Import
Of U. S. Wheat to Japan
A 74 Increase In Japan's 1$CA
wheat crop after last year's crop
failure Is expected to mean
substantial drop In the imports
of U. S. soft wheat which Is sim
ilar to Japan's domestic output
A smaller decrease In Imports of
U. S hard winter also Is fore
cast At the same time. Imports
of Canadian and Australian
wheat may show a slight rise.
Japanese purchases of U. &
Western White wheat are ex
pected to decline to around GCM.-
OHO tons from the 832.700 tons of
1963 64.
Selenium Seen Effective
la Lamb, Calf Losses
White muscle disease con
tinues to take a heavy toll of
Iambs and calves In Oregon.
While this disease has not been
as common In Morrow county as
in some parts of the state, there
have been serious losses In some
herds here.
It can be prevented by Injec
ting the mother or the offspring
with selenium. Cost Is extremely
low when related to prevention
of lamb or calf losses. The ma
terial is available locally and
Thotte on the cash system have
several opportunities to shift In

WXKlo Salad Bowls
Some of vou homemakera may

among your holiJay gifts. Here
arc some Una tr Its care.
Fine-grained hardwoods make
good salad bowls, according to
the U. S. IVpt of Agricultures
roiest Service. Look bowls
made of walnut, beech, gum,
birch, myrtle, cherry or maple.
Bowls may be either finished
or unfinished. If you finish your
own bowl, be sure to use a
water-proof varnish.
Many people, however, prefer
to leave the Inside of their salad
bowls unfinished so they take
on the seasonings of salads the
garlic, salts and (tils. Or. they
season the bowl flrM with min
eral oil or some other sweet
oil.
Avoid letting arid dressing
or any liquid stand long In a
wooden salad bowl.
To clean, use warm or cool
mild suds, whisking the bowls
quickly through the water, or
simply wipe them out. rinse and
dry thoroughly. Do not stack
bowls nor store them until they
are completely dry Inside and
out Keep your wooden salad
bowls In a dry place away from

grazing period during the studv
was oo aays. steers on both sets
of pastures gained a little over
2 pounds per head per day dur
ing me siuay penod.
Results of the studv showed
mat tne crested wheatgrass
alfalfa pasture produced about
Z7e more forage than crested
wheatgrass alone. This increase
In forage production resulted In
an approximate 33 er eater
carrying capacity for the crested
wheatgrass-alfalfa pasture. In
addition to producing more for
age, the crested wheatgrass-
alfalfa grass pasture was util
ized approximately 27 more
than the crested wheatgrass
alone.
Over the 7-year period, beef
gains per acre averaeed 117 2
pounds on the crested-alfalfa
pasture and only 88.4 pounds per
acre on the straight crested
wheatgrass. Researchers con-
eluded that this approximate
33 greater gain per acre on
me cresiea-aiiaiia pasture was
primarily attributed to the great
er forage production, but may
aiso oe reiatea somewnat to for
age quality of the crested
alfalfa pasture.
They found, however, that
pasture stands did not deter
lorate significantly during the
7-year grazing trial except for
the large loss in the alfalfa from
the crested wheatgrass-alfalfa
pastures. In their experience,
there was no bloat of steers
grazing either the crested wheat-
grass or crested-alfalfa.
Extension To Be Active
In Economic Opportunity Act
Week before last while at
tending annual extension con
ference, discussion was held
summarizing the Economic Op
portunity Act or isjm. The exten-
Ion service will be Involved In
this program In working with
low income families, as we have
sine, we came into existancc in
the early 19UOs
I' was interesting to have ex
plained the many ramifications
oi tne program and how it will
worK. The office of Economic Op
portunity will have separate
staffs that will operate a job
corps, a program for Volunteers
In Service To America (VISTA),
a community - action program
and special programs for mig
rant workers.
The facilities of existing agen
cies will operate a variety of
programs authorized under the
bill Including work-training pro
grams through the Labor Dept.
work study programs and adult
basic education through the
Dept. of Health, Education and
Welfare: special loan programs
to combat farm poverty through
the Department of Agriculture:
small business loans through
the Small Business Administra
tion; community work and train
ing projects for welfare-reciu
lent"? through the Dept. of
Health, Education and Welfare.
A total of $9475 million
authorized by the act. ,
Governor Hatfield has made
the necessary moves to partici
pate in mis program in Oregon.
iwany agencies are already in
volved and activities are well
unt'erway. Several job corps
camps nave been designated
and are in the process of being
reaaiea to receive the young
men and women participants by

The program Is aimed at al
levlating an annual expenditure
of 5100 billion a year (equal to
