Commercial SALEM, OREGON Farmers who built grain storage bins or who terrased land during 1953 • inay find they can benefit from in come tax changes, according to Manning Becker, agricultural econo mist at Oregon State college. He said that the law now provides that the cost of building corn cribs or grain bins can now be written off more quickly—over 60 months. The last congress put this incentive in the law to encourage farmers to build more storage bins and cribs. Becker said the costs may be spread over a longer period. But anyone who decides to deduct in 60 months must indicate his decision within a year after thenew storage structure is built. The new policy on terracing costs is the result of a recent court decis- The economist said a court sion.' has ruled that terracing costs are deductable as operating expenses in the year terraces were finished.

Until this year, they could be deducted only when the farm was sold. Except for those two changes, the federal farm income tax law is the same as last year’s, Becker said. Two filing choices are open to per sons who get two-thirds of their total income from farming. They may file and pay their taxes on or before Jan uary 31, or they may file and pay an estimate by January 15. Those who choose the estimate method then have until March 15 to file their return and pay the balance. against whom the FTC opened a case in 1943 which is still pend ing.

Becker noted the importance of keeping accurate records for farm business expenditures and receipts, farm record books are available from county extension agents. Big Bottle Deposit For Soda Drinkers Asked By Motorists A sizeable deposit on all beverage containers taken off the seller’s prem ises is proposed as one way to rid the highway of beverage cans and bottles, according to a survey recently made by the American Automobile As- sociation. A member of the Oregon State Mo- tor Association and AAA made the the observation that litter bugs not only spoil the appearance of our high ways, but contribute a serious danger to safe driving by tossing bottles and cans used for beverages out of their cars, capable of cutting or puncturing “ I work at highway construction all over the state,” the Oregon mem ber said, “and find the practice of throwing bottle; from cars much I worse in logging communities than in any other part of the state. “You cannot prevent the practice by passing laws against it. You mus’ make the container valuable enough that it will hurt the pocketbook to throw it away,” the motorist urged, suggesting a minimum 25-cent de posit on beverage containers.
