PSU Says Spray Alfalfa
Stubble Weevil damage in
southeastern Pennsylvania has
been extreme on -this year’s
first cutting alfalfa,' according
to the Penn State University
Extension Service. Manage
ment now should be directed
toward improving vigor and vi
tality of existing stands before
second cutting.
Spraying the stubble at this
time hits adult and larval
forms of the weevils, and pro
vides an opportunity for re
ducing the population so that
an extended damaging period
does not persist throughout
the summer. Many heavily-in
fested alfalfa fields will not
make a sectfnd growth until
stubble spray is applied, PSU
said.

Use Proposed The Pennsyl

drafted proposal to put taxa

Secretaries of Agriculture and
Forests and Waters, Bull and
Goddard, met with State At
torney General Walter E.
Alessandrohi, PFA reported.
The influx of people into
what had been farming areas,
and the resulting inflated de
mand for land, has become a
cause of concern to farmers,
regional planning officials, and
assessors, PFA stated.
The tax proposal has been
introduced into the Pennsyl
vania General Assembly as
House Bill 237. It provides for
an amendment to the Constitu
tion of the Commonwealth to
permit farm land to be taxed
at a lower rate, with the pro
