There are attachments to handle any fertilizer, herbicide and insecticide program you choose, whether liquid or granular. And there are options that let you choose and change from conventional, wheel-track and No-Til planting programs Because we've designed planting systems instead of just planters, you can buy a system you won't outgrow.

And if we don’t buy their crude, they can’t buy our food.” The energy crisis isn’t all bad, Frazier commented, because it’s forcing us to do some of the things we should have been doing anyway. The country’s new awareness of fuel problems has forced a lot of people to think about long range plans for the conservation of energy. From from Senator Clarence F. Manbeck R-48th District The recently enacted tax cut for all Pennsylvanians, hammered out after an eight-month stalemate, has' raised the question of Constitutionality. The fact that the plan could be challenged in the courts has - caused some people to be concerned over the possibility of losing the tax break. They apparently believe that if the plan falls, the reduction in the Penn sylvania Income Tax is invalid. That’s not true. Built into the plan is what is called a severability clause, a clause which says simply that if any part of the tax relief plan is found invalid, the rest remains in effect.

The part in question has to do with defining who is eligible for a tax exemption under a special clause in the Constitution. Under Article VIII, Section 2 of the Pennsylvania Constitution, the Legislature is empowered to create special classes for taxation of the poor, the aged, the disabled and the infirm. Defining just who is in firm, however, seems to be the problem. Though the Constitution allows setting up the class, it does not provide any guidelines for defining the class. To date, the matter has been more academic than anything. There has been no indication that anyone is going to challenge the provision. And even if they do, it is quite possible the court would find in favor of the way the plan is drafted. The important thing, however, is that regardless of what happens, the long overdue tax cut is a reality Lancaster Farming, Saturday.

Starting January 1 of next year, the withholding rate will be $2.00 for each $lOO you earn. It is because of Republican insistence that the tax cut is permanent. From the outset, the Governor wanted a one shot cut in the form of a direct rebate. Republicans stood firm, arguing that both revenues and projected revenues clearly indicated a permanent cut was possible. That point - permanent or one-shot relief - was the chief cause for the eight month stalemate. Finally, a Republican plan was passed by the Senate and House, but vetoed by the Governor. This led to the talks that resulted in the compromise plan. Originally, the Republicans wanted a 12 percent credit for State income tax paid in 1973. It was part of the plan vetoed by the Governor. Finally, in place of the 12 percent credit, the Republicans settled for special consideration of the elderly, disabled and ser vicemen and a compromise was worked out. Try A Classified Ad If Pays! 9
