COLLEGE STATION - Four late
June developments, announced by
the U. S Department of Agricul-

Three of the developments have
to do with research aimed at find
ing new uses for cotton and eval- j
uating an already announced pro
cess for making all-cotton stretch
yarns.
The fourth development was the

Investment credit is a feature of
the new and far reaching tax pro-
visions enacted by Congress last
October Investment credit is simp-
ly a reduction of tax liability by
7 per cent of the amount of a tax-
payer's investment which quad
firs. Regulations which qualify pr-
operty is mentioned here insolar as
these tentative regulations apply
to assets often used by farm and
ranch operators:
a. Fences qualify for credit sin
ce the**- are specified in the law
11 is believed that Ibis includes cor-
rals and livestock handling facilit-
ies.
b Grain storage bins and silos
qualify for credit, the regulations
stating that these are not consider-
ed as buildings.
c. Buildings and "structural co-
mponents thereof" do not qualify
for the' investment credit However,
the regulations do not yet clarify
the situation on every type of as
set that might be attached or set
into buildings, to be eligible for
credll.
Livestock do not otiarlify for
credit since they were eliminated
by specific reference in the law
It is not clear whether equip-
ment such as a grain drier or air
circulating system would he eligi
bie for

used as u part of a building (barn
or qunnset type) that might have vestment for qualified business
multiple uses In th«- very eurly ’ property acquired In 1962 or sub-
interpretations it was Indicated that
central heating or air-conditioning
systems do not qualify for credit,
these- heing considered "Campon
ents of th. building ” The function
of (he drying equipment Is more
directly related to production which
is a factor in qualifying property

A few examples of other assets
that are usually considered qua!
Hied investments are

tory that the taxpayers claim the
