Dockey Auctioneer-Estate Liquidator-Appraiser Box 164 Pillow, PA 17080 Phone: 717-758-6004 House overwhelmingly passes two farm bills BY DICK WANNER HARRISBURG - The Pennsylvania House con sidered two farm bills this week passing both by nearly unanimous votes. House Bill 1778, a measure which restricts ahen owner ship of Pennsylvania farmland to less than 100 acres, was passed by the House m December, passed without a single dissenting vote last week in the Senate, and returned to the House with minor changes. The bill’s prune sponsor, Lancaster’s Rep. June Honaman, asked the House to concur with the Senate changes, they did so on Tues day and sent the measure on to the desk of Governor Thornburgh where, ac cording to Honaman, it should have very little trou ble being signed into law. HB 1608, sponsored by Noah Wenger, also a Lan caster Countian, was ap proved by nearly the entire membership on Tuesday. The bill would amend the Pennsylvania tax code to ex empt family farm corpora tions from the annual one percent levey exacted from the owners of all stocks and bonds. When he introduced the bill, Wenger said the tax bore down unfairly on m- corporated farmers because the value of their properties was rising faster than their abihty to generate income from the land. The capital stock tax is imposed on the theoretical sale value rather than the actual income generated from the land. Wenger said he also believes the stock tax hinders the formation of family farm corporations, even in cases where that MILFORD, Del. Ice storms can do considerable ,tree damage. Should one hit this winter, knowing what to do and how to do it could mean the difference between savmg your favorite tree or chopping it up for firewood. According to James McKeehen, agricultural agent, the greatest storm injury is likely to odcur on the faster growmg trees. These include poplars, maples, willows, black locust, and Chinese and Siberian elms. Stronger species are oak, sycamore, and honeylocust. If you’re faced with the job of straightening a toppled tree or mending the wounds of broken or spht branches, the following first-aid treatment is suggested. Remove all broken branches, and do all cutting with sharp tools. You may need saws, knives, and wood chisels. Make cuts either at a good side branch or nearly flush with ' the mother branch. This avoids leavmg dead-end stubs. Make smooth, fast draining wounds surfaces. Remove splintered, rough, PUBLIC SALE SATURDAY, APRIL 5 Farm machinery of M.
