QUESTION: What kind of fe
males should I get to start a beef
herd?
. ANSWER: The difference in
' quality of the various breeds is
so little that the choice should be
that of the individual. However,
the foundation females should be
of high-quality grades of pure
breds. In general, the inexperi
enced farmer should start with
good quality grade females as
they involve a smaller invest
ment than purebreds. Further
more, the breeding and raising
of registered caittle is a specializ
ed business and requires more
know-how and experience for
successful operation.

QUESTION: Can I expect an
increase in rate-of-gain in my
pigs as a result of cross-breed
ing?
ANSWER: Yes. Experiments
have shown that an increase in
rate-of-gain can be expected. A
purebred boar of one breed is
crossed on a purebred, or a good
grade sr>w of another breed. Many
commercial hog breeders use a
system called criss-crossing,
where three breeds are used in
stead of two.

Tax Benefits Given
For Grain Storages
Special income tax deductions
have been provided by Congress
for grain producers and ware
housemen who complete or ac
quire additional grain storage*
facilities between January 1. 1953,
and December 31, 1956, county
agent Howard Clapp reminds far
mers of Cleveland County.
Public Law 287. recently signed
by President Eisenhower, pro
vides, in place of the ordinary
depreciation allowances, for in
come tax deductions, based on
amortization over a 5-year period
of the cost of building new grain
storage facilities or of converting
or enlarging existing space for
grain storage The deductions ap
ply to corncrkbs, grain bins, grain
t>!c valors, or any similar, struc
ture suitable primarily for graitj
storage and intended for that
use.
To take advantage ot the bene
fits provided under Public Law
287, Mr. Clapp says that a grain
producer who qualifies under the
act for such 'deductions needs
only to state his intention jn his
income tax return fof- the year
in which the facility was acquir
ed or completed. Permission be.
fore adding the facility .is not
needed to obtain the tax deduc
tion.
The law states that deductions
should be computed on a month
ly basis, dividing the adjusted
cost of the improvement by the
number of months left in the 60
month amortization period to ob
tain the deduction allowable for
one month. No regulations or in
structions on the grain storage
provision are available at this
time.
