3. Cost of LP gas heat is 3 times cheaper than electric heaters or
electric drying bulbs.
4. At any time more heat can be applied by the turn of a valve to
remove excessive moisture which is giving a problem.

grain.

State
adopts
& Green regs
HARRISBURG - New
regulations governing the Penn
sylvania Farmland and Forest
Land Assessment act, known as
the Clean St Green Act, have been
adopted by the State Department
of Agriculture.
Agriculture Secretary Penrose
Hallowell said the Clean & Green
Act, adopted in 1974, sets forth
guidelines that allow a farm to be
assessed for tax purposes at its
agricultural use value rather than
current market value.
“The purpose of the new
regulations, which were published
last month in the Pennsylvania
Bulletin and take effect im
mediately, is to assure the uniform
and efficient implementation of act
319,” HaUoweU said.
He added, “The regulations were
written in a question and answer
format to make them more un
derstandable, thus helping to
clarify any questions that may
have arisen since Act 319 was
adopted. Governor Dick Thorn
burgh has directed state agencies
to make new regulations more
readable.”
The secretary noted the
Plan now to cover crop
LEESPORT “Seeding a cover
crop to protect the soil from
erosion during winter months is
critical," says Duane Pysher,
district conservationist of the Soil
Conservation Service.
Bare, unprotected soil is
vulnerable to erosion, but' by
planting a cover crop, such as
annual ryegrass or winter grains,
the ground will be protected from
erosion, he stresses. The soil also
will be improved by adding
organic matter, helping to

new Clean
regulations were first published in
the Pennsylvania Bulletin last
November. The newly adopted
regulations include minor changes
suggested by an advistory com
mittee which reviewed testimony
from a public hearing and written
comments received since then.
The advisory committee, ap
pointed by Hallowell, included
Leonard Crooke of the Penn
sylvania Farmers Association,
Robert La bar of the Pennsylvania
Forestry Association, and Mary
Howe of the Bucks County
Assessment Office.
According to Hallowell, the
regulations were also changed to
take into account amendments
made to Act 319 last year which
allow an easier transfer of land
ownership, as long as the land
remains in agricultural use, when
a farmer dies or retires.
A new provision has also been
included requiring County
Assessors, who are responsible for
implementing the law, to report
each year to the State Department
of Agriculture on the number of
farmers within their county
participating in the program.
maintain good soil structure,
aeration, and water holding
ability. A cover crop can supply
supplemental fall and early spring
pasture, too.
“Plan now for planting your fall
cover crops,” he recommends.
“Select the type of cover crop you
are going to seed so you can be
sure of havmg the supply you
need.”

servation service office in your
