The basic purpose of the observance is to underscore and pay tribute to this paitner ship. Supporting the theory that rural-urban ties are strong, Dep pen points out that “behind every two faim people, there is one city person pioviding >ho niiilonals to keep larms func tioning The citv icsidenl is Hist us dependent upon the f.np.ei*. lie c\pc<ls ,uul ■ cl . .in c\li< mi* 1\ wide v.mcty of uu.ililv folds •ind fiber, packaged .illi.icl” "ly, in.iikclcd efficiency, and pi c sciitcd convciiicnll' at itvson* able puces Despite a slight ineioase in food puces, an honest anahsis will show that food is the na tion’s biggest bargain today. Food expenditures are cuucntly taking about 17 peicent of iho avcidge family income In 1950, food took nearly 25 percent As i ecently as 1960, the figure was 2 U pei cent. “As the country’s population continues to grow, the Ameucin farmer is expected to keep pace with increased food supplies,” the Penn State official said. “Each additional million people require another 172,000 beef cat tle; 25,4001 dairy cattle, 433 000 hogs, and 1,300,000 chickens.” The path between farm and city is a highly traveled two-way street. Continued prosperity de pends to a large degree on how well the two segments of our society woik together to solve common pioblems,” Deppcn emphasized. Potato and tobacco produc tion inci eased this year in Penn sylvania, according to the State Crop Repoitmg Service. The 7,810,000 hundredweight potato crop is 3 peicent larger than last yeai’s The yield acre is 220 cwt. compared to 205 last year. The 38 million pound tobac co crop is one percent higher than last year’s. The yield per 1,900 pounds per acre is 100 pounds heavier than last year. Quality and color is good.
