closed in part for renovation, but

After a good breakfast the next

Keystone State Maintains Lead
In Christmas Tree
Pennsylvania’s national leader
ship in the production of planta-
pnces considerably, they said
The spring pig crop is now ex
pected to be seven per cent great
er than last year which will set
up nearly the same conditions
that caused the big pork price
slump in 1955.
A voluntary pig crop reduction
by producers could avert part of
the price drop, but this is not ex
pected to happen.
For the beef producer, the pic
ture is somewhat brighter. Al
though there are now some 96
million head of cattle in the na
tion, many of these animals will
be held as Western ranchers re
build their depleted herds. Heavy
feed supplies will also tend to
keep many of these animals on
the farm longer than normal.
Johnson, Birth and Kelley also
brought out the agricultural para
dox of today—farmers must in
tensify their operation in order to
keep their net income the same
while all the government control
programs are aimed in reducing
pioduction
As a matter of fact, increasing
production from each animal and
land unit is the only suggestion
offered for the farmer who wishes
to increase his income next year

tion-gro wn Christmas trees should
pay off for tree buyers this seas
on, according to the State Depart
ment of Agriculture.
More than 60 million trees of
all sizes and species presently
arc growing on over 2,000 Christ
mas tree plantations in the Key
stone State, the Department esti
mated Monday.
Approximately three million
trees have been harvested from
the groves for sale during the
current Christmas season. They
differ from wild or naturally seed
ed forest trees in that they are
planted and grown in open fields
with sufficient space between
trees to provide for an even
growth and well-rounded shape,
nurserymen and experienced
Christmas tree growers say.
The successful growing of
Christmas trees requires skill,
training and patience, plus con
siderable work m planting, care,
and annual tummmg, according
to the Pennsylvania Christmas
Tree Growers Assn.

duced Christmas trees this year

aiailable to consumers at favor
able prices, the Department said.
Both the D-17 and D-14 offer—
• Power Director to quick-shift
go to high or low range while PTO
and hydraulic pump operate contin
uously.
• Easy-ride seat that smooths out the
bumps . . . reduces fatigue.
• Roll-Shift front axle and Power-Shift
rear wheels for easy and safe wheel
spacing.
• Snap-Coupler hitch to change jobs
