Part-Time Farmers Prominent
In Soil Bank, PSU Survey Shows
The greatest appeal of the Soil
Bank in Pennsylvania has been
among part-time farmers, accord
ir,g to a study made by the Agri
cultural Experiment Station at
the Pennsylvania State Univer
sity.
Fifty per cent of a sample of
161 Soil Bank participants receiv
ed half or more of their income
from non-farm sources, report G.
E. Brandow and J. P. Houck,
economists in the College of Agri
culture at Penn State. Shortage
of labor and poor health were
other factors causing farmers to
enter the program. The survey

acre were not high enough in 1957
to mak\ it attractive to many
farmers of southeastern Pennsyl

the Soil Bank would concentrate
on putting whole farms in a
broadened conservation reserve.
About half of the Soil Bank par

to consider a broadened conserva

Farmers’ estimates of required
payments were highly variable
and uncertain.

Now! You can rake cleaner and faster,
have higher quality hay than ever before
~ .with Ford’s new Mounted Side Delivery
Rake. Here’s why: First, Ford’s new rake
is mounted on the Ford Tractor’s 3-pomt
hitch for instant hydraulic control, greater
maneuverability. Then ,'there’s the new reel that moves hay from swath
to windrow in a true sideward motion, means less shattering of
nutritious leaves. The exclusive rotary stripper and PTO drive with speed
change provision mean outstanding raking performance. Sec it now}
