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,
