Pennsylvania is where all
the Shorthorn beef cattle
are, if a perusal of the Farm
Show exhibitors list is any
indication of the breed’s
distribution. Specifically,
only Greene, Beaver, and
Lawrence counties were
represented at the Farm
Show’s Shorthorn contests.
Breaking it down even
further, seven families
competed for the ribbons.

Tax cut likely this year
SAN FRANCISCO, Cahf. -
Speaking to members of the
National Council of Farmer
Cooperatives meeting here
last week, Congressman Joe
D. Waggonner (D-La),
member of the House Ways
and Means Committee, said
that Congress will likely
pass a tax reduction bill this
year. He noted that a large
tax cut is needed to offset the
sizable tax increases in the
social security and energy
bills.
The Louisianan added that
the bulk of the tax cut should
go to middle-income people
who bear the brunt of the tax
burden. “Also”, he declared,
“Olers Model King” owned
by Mapleview Ranch.
Mapleview Ranch showed
the reserve junior champion,
“Mapleview Silver Apache”
and reserve senior cham
pion, “Mapleview Penn
sylvania.”
Beverly Short, of New
Brighton, exhibited the
reserve junior champion,
“Waterbatems Lil Sid,”
“it is essential that the tax
cut contain sizable in
centives for business in
vestment.”
Waggonner discussed
farmers’ concern with the
1976 tax provision requiring
a carryover of basis on
inherited property. This
provision requires an heir to
calculate his capital gam
using the original cost of the
property to the decedent.
“This carryover of basis
provision is proving to be
very complex,” he said,
“and several of us are
working to postpone its ef
fective date.” Waggonner
said he hoped Congress
could pass some much
needed changes to make the
provision more workable.
One of the changes now
supported by the Treasury,
he noted, would exempt the
first $175,000 of property
from the carryover
provision.
Waggonner brought a
rousing response from the
cooperative leaders with his
closing statement that
Congress will not adopt any
changes which will ad
versely affect the tax
treatment of farmer
cooperatives.
