Pa. Soil Drying Out
A lack of topsoil moisture has
suddenly become the number one
concern of Pennsylvania far
mers. The Pennsylvania Crop
Reporting Service said this week
that over two-thirds of the state,
particularly the central and
southern sectors, are drying out.
Through the July 4th holiday
this situation for 1972 seemed
impossible. Despite this negative
report, all but two of the service’s
19 reporting stations still show an
above normal accumulation of
rainfall since April 1.
Hardest hit are pastures and
the maturation of corn. The
drying breezes are blowing
someone good, however. The
combining of oats and the second
cutting of alfalfa are moving
along rapidly to the 70 per cent
complete mark to make up some
earlier losses.
Fall plowing and seeding of
winter wheat and barley
varieties has started in the
central and southern tiers. Apple
harvesting is also picking up
momentum with the apple size
from fair to good.
This week’s weather extremes
were 92 degrees at Philadelphia
and 38 degrees at Renovo, Clinton
County; 1.91 inches of rain at
Dunlo, Cambria County and no
measureable amounts at
Philadelphia and Allentown.
Milk Output Declines
The summer doldrums caught
the dairy industry in its grip
during July. The Pennsylvania
Crop Reporting Service says that
milk production slipped to
582,000,000 pounds, a drop of five
percent from the preceding
month and four percent off July,
1971, totals.
The decline is blamed on the
inefficiency of the cows in mid
summer. With no decrease in the
size of the herds, per cow
production dropped to 840
pounds, a loss of five percent
from June records.
Per cow production was off
only three percent from a year

Actually, according to Mel
vin C Holm, chairman of
NAM's Taxation Committee,
Treasury Department figures
prove that over the last four
years corporate tax burdens
have been increased while in
come taxes for individuals
have been significantly re
duced, particularly for lower
income groups.
“The country has been
bombarded with demands for
massive tax changes with
scant, if any, attention to the
actual tax policy record to
date,” Mr. Holm said “The
best answers will not be found
in the heat of a presidential
campaign but through pains
taking analysis.”
Mr. Holm said the aim of
tax reform should be to pro
vide a better climate for pro
ductive enterprise of all in
come groups. “We believe
that both tax equity and eco
nomic progress can best be
served when tax rates are
earlier but at that time there
were 8,000 more cows being
milked.
Dairy farmers across the
country experienced a greater
drop in individual production
totals but an expanding national
herd managed to show a two
percent increase over the same
period in 1971 with 10.5 billion
pounds.
