THE DALLAS POST, DALLAS, PA, FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1937 PAGE NINE Farming Is Still Leader In State Half Of Pennsylvania’s Land Is Still Devoted To Agriculture BY F. A. PITKIN, DIRECTOR, STATE PLANNING BOARD. (Special To The Post) | Agriculture continues to be one of the | most important classes ot industry in Pennsylvania. Over halt of her land, in- | cluding that in private wood lots, 1s still in, farms. This despite the tact. that only one-twelfth of her people live on tarms. Once Pennsylvania was a State of farmers. In 1900 there remained 224,248 farms. By 1930 the number had dwind- led to 171,419. Liowever, in 1935 the total had risen to 191,284 indicating that unemployment elsewhere had caused many persons to return to farming. In the State’s early days her tarmers were nearly self-sutficing. As the cities and factories grew, farmers began to raise more crops to sell to town dwellers who could not raise their own. In doing this they tended to produce a smaller variety of things for their own use, until today they are in many ways as dependent on purchased goods as are city people. This means that they need more money in- come than their ancestors did. Most modern farmers specialize in one or two products, and if these fail, or if the market for them is poor, their grow- ers are in a much worse plight than are those who produce a greater diversity. Fortunately our farmers have maintained a wider variety of activities than farmers in most other sections of the country. For this reason agriculture here has suffered less during the depression years than it has in many other states. Dairy products are the most valuable division of Pennsylvania's farm yield, bringing in nearly half of all the cash in come received. Farm crops, which in clude potatoes, grain of all kinds and to- bacco, come next. Third in income value are chickens and eggs, followed by vege- tabls, fruits, nursery and greenhouse prod- ucts, swine, and cattle. i Very nearly half of the farm land is used not for crops, but for pastures and wood lots. Of the land that is in crops nearly four-fifths is devoted to raising corn, wheat, oats, and hay. { ea —— Township Juniors In Play April 14 The Junior Class of Dallas Township High School will present ‘‘Small Town Romeo,” a mystery comedy, April 14, in the high school.
