first and second class cities to designate certain areas as “urban development areas.” And residential, as well as commercial property owners, would be allowed tax deductions up to 100 per cent on the increased assessment of rehabilitated or new properties. Taxpayers in designated areas applying for the deductions may qualify for a 100 per cent deduction the first year, 95 per cent the second year, 80 per cent the third year, 65 per cent the fourth year, and 50 per cent the fifth year. An existing rehabilitation law applies only ,to properties 10 years old or older, and the deduction is only 50 per cent per year for five years, with a maximum of 15,000 per year for single family homes and $25,000 per year for all other types of properties. In urban development areas, no distinctions are made between residential and commercial deductions, and no limits are imposed. Any property owner within the city limits could take advantage of the new law to rehabilitate an

old structure or build a new one, rather than move to a new area, where there would be a hill tax assessment, without the benefit of any deductions. While it would deny local government some tax revenue for a time, it could preserve the tax base in the long nm by preventing or reversing blight and neglect.

Poinsettia now long lasting plant

As the year-end holiday season rolls around again, many homemakers will turn to decorating the house for the festive period. Greens, the Christmas tree, holly and mistletoe will also have their place. But perhaps the most popular plant purchased for decoration or given as a gift during the season is the poinsettia. It is estimated that 25 million of these plants were used by Americans in 1975 to provide a touch of beauty, color and meaning in their daily lives. As the Christmas flower, the poinsettia has been popular for generations. Once it was considered a short-lived plant and purchased only a week or so before the holidays. "Today, however, many new poinsettia cultivars have made the plant one of the most enduring,” says John A. Wott, Purdue University extension home environment horticulturist. “With proper care, poinsettias acquired during the Christmas holidays now often last until Easter and beyond,” he adds. Mini-types have also become popular in recent years. These are used as small decorative centerpieces. Others are used in hanging baskets. Regardless of which type of poinsettia you purchase or receive, always remember to place the plant in as much light as possible, says Wott. Avoid

'Farming Together' is program theme

“Farming Together” will be the theme of the agricultural economics program during annual Farm Science Days, January 9-14, at Purdue University. The agricultural economics program will be conducted in the south ballroom of Purdue Memorial Union on Monday, Jan. 9. beginning at 9:30 a.m. The program is designed to provide information useful to young persons with ambition who hope to team up with older persons with capital and experience for the benefit of both, according to Paul R. Robbins, Purdue extension agricultural economist who is program chairman. "Farming together involves the whole family,” Robbins said, “so wives and mothers are also urged to attend the program.” Topics to be covered Monday morning include getting along together, generating enough income, and dividing income and expenses. Monday afternoon, the program will continue with consideration of growing into the business, the structure of the business — partnership or corporation — and other considerations in farming together. Following a panel discussion, the speakers will be available for informal discussions and to answer questions. On Monday evening, an update of the 1978 farm economic outlook will be presented beginning at 7

placing it in drafts or where it will have excessive beat from appliances, radiators or ventilating ducts. The idea temperature for the plant should never exceed 72 degrees F. in the day or 60 degrees F. at night, to prolong the bright color of the bracts. Put the plant up and out of traffic and away from unmonitored children and animals. Place the plant in a water-proof container to protect furnishings, then water the plant thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Always discard the excess water. The poinsettia was once featured as a poisonous plant, but recent research has done much to dispel this belief, says Wott. In fact, one state consumer products safety commission denied a petitioner’s demand that the plants be sold with caution labds. The Society of American Florists has distributed a pamphlet promoting the plant’s dean bill of health. But to protect the public from even a remote possibility of danger from the poinsettia and other floral products, the SAF stresses that children should be warned to put nothing in their mouths except food products. With proper care and surroundings, your poinsettia can provide you ... or the receiver . . . with months of pleasure.
