But farmers should not be panicked into taking actions between now and the end ol '.he year that may prove detrimental later, says Gene Nelson. Oregon State Univer sity Extension farm man agement specialist. Oregon farmers need to carefully consider the pro visions of the new law cover ing estate and gift taxes, he urges. Tax rate schedules for both estate and gift taxes will be combined under the new law. A single tax rate structure at the current estate rate will apply to both taxable estates and gifts. This means that taxable gifts will no longer be taxed at a lower rate than estates. In addition, the $o.ooo personal exemption for estate taxes and the tw.ooo lifetime exemption for gift taxes will he scrapped. They w ill be re placed by a tax credit lo be subtracted from Ihe calcu lated combined lax. The $3,000 lax fn-e gift per donee per year will be retained People of moderate means w ill not Ih- af lected by the new gilt tax changes, but people who will leave enough of an estate lo U- subject to estate taxes and those in a position lo make gdts to spouses, family and Inends may want to lake advantage of the present law la-lore il expires, he suggests 4-H clubs Well as regulai oewslellei mailing lo leaders and mem bers involved in the county program.

But a third period rally boosted the Cards to within a field goal when they outscored the visiting Mt. Vernon five, 16-8. With Kevin McCabe leading the way with 16 points, lone hit 22 of 66 field goals for 33 per cent, their best shooting night of the season. Mt. Vernon, paced by the Askew brothers, girls Heppner outshot Dayville from the field. 15-8. Dayville picked up points at the free throw line, hitting 13 of 33 tries to six of 12 tries for the Fillies. Cindy Kerr paced the win ners with 14, followed by Julie Grieb with nine, Laurie Har rison with five, Geri Grieb with three, Jana Steagall and Mary Daly with two each and Lynne Gochnauer with one point. Peggy Moore and Dixie McDaniel had 10 each for Dayville. One question farmers must ask is whether or not to take advantage of the $30,000 gift tax exemption before it phases out. Any gift larger than $3,000 is a potential target of the new law. "There is no easy answer," says Nelson. "A transitional feature of the new law takes away any automatic benefif of using the lifetime gift exemp tion before it disappears." If the $30,000 lifetime gift exemption is used after Sept. 8. 1976. but before Jan. 1. 1977. the new unified credit against estate tax is reduced by 20 per cent of the amount of the gift. in other words, if you use the full $30,000 exemption now, your unified credit under the new law will be reduced by $6,000 Gifts made before Sept. 9 are not subject to this rule," Nelson explains. Whether to use the lifetime gift exemption before it phas es out of existence depends on several considerations, in cluding the size of the estate, the number of years until death i which, of course, is difficult lo predict) and whether or not Ihe marital deduction can be taken. I'nder Ihe old law in effect until the end of Ihe year, gifts are subject to tax at a lower rale than estates passed at death Farmers with large slates may elect no! to use the $to.issi exemption and consider taking advantage of the lower gift tax rate schedule of the old law by making large lax Rifts before the end of Ihis year Nelson strongly advises farmers lo see a tax lawyer or CPA lo hrlp in evaluating these consrqurnces. A problem arises in what to give Some of tlw changes in the Tax Reform Act of t97 have complicated the decision of what to give prior to death as opposed to which assets to allow to pass through the estate One such change Is in the rule for calculating the basis value of the property for Income lax purposes. Another ronidcralio Is the new method for valuing farms who combined for 27 points, hit 26 of 58 tries from the court for 45 per cent. Both teams hit half their free throw attempts, but Mt. Vernon had one more point on the board from the charity stripe. Mt. Vernon outrebounded lone, 38-30. Kevin McCabe had six caroms. Following Kevin with 16 points, Danny McElligott had 11 and Ashley McCabe added ten. Riverside, a school up a league, bounced lone in a runaway contest last Tuesday that saw lone hit just eight per cent of their field goal tries. lone canned only five of 61 Mustangs (Continued from Page 9) of their 28 fielders from inside the key and 13 of those were right under the bucket Much of the Mustang prob lem was caused by 6-3 Rick Emerick and 62 Robert PahL Pahl had 20 points.

Emerick. who scored 20 Friday at Helix, had 11 Tuesday and jerked down 17 rebounds. Wayne Seiti led Heppner with eight points, all four of his shots coming from the pivot man spot under the rim. Keven Haguewood and Den nis Peck each added seven points. Jerry Cutsforth grabbed eight rebounds to lead the Mustangs with Haguewood grabbing seven and Seitx four.

' Heppner stayed with Helix in the first half Friday, trailing by four at intermis sion. But a strong Grizzly second half, including a 24 point third period, did the Mustangs in.
