ed in most counties will “in
vaiiablv lead to a bettei unde i
standing and fnendly exchange
of viewpoints between people
from the faim and city.”
The social, educational, and
economic problems are now in
tertwined and even the geo
graphic separation of farm and
city seems to be disappearing,
the Farm-City Week chairman
added. 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

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.
