_ THE POST, FRIDAY,
Value of Farm
THESE WOMEN!
By d’Alessio
Land Declines
Farm land values have started
down in Pennsylvania.
Between March 1 and July 1
the first decline in 16 years was
recorded in Federal-State surveys,
according to Miles Horst, State
Secretary of Agriculture.
The March-July 1949 decline of
four per cent is highly significant,
the Secretary declared, because it
reflects the downward trend in
farm income that has been re-
ported in Pennsylvania so far this
year, compared with past. :
Based on 1912-14 Pennsylvania
farm values equaling 100, the July
1949 index was 159 or six points
under the peak of 165 reached last
March. It was one point under
last November levels, but two
points higher than July 1948. The
percentage change in dollar value
of farms in Pennsylvania was up
one per cent between July 1948
and July 1949.
Pennsylvania farm values this
July were 83 per cent higher than
the 1935-'39 pre-war levels, Secre-
tary Horst pointed out.
During the first seven months

Sooth, abundant power! That's what the new
Oliver "77" delivers!
Thorough soil pulverization! That’s the result when you
use the Oliver Plow Master and its exclusive Raydex bottoms
with shares so low in cost you can throw them away when
they get dull.
“The new farm features of the Oliver “77” make this
famous tractor more versatile and economical than ever to
own. Its steady 6-cylinder engine and 6-forward-speed trans-
mission give you nearly any ground travel and drawbar pull
combination you need.
You have a choice of three engines: one for gasoline, one
for tractor fuel—and a diesel, a specially designed, farm-
engineered engine that will be available later. Also, you
have a choice of interchangeable cast iron or stamped steel
wheels for Row Crop Models to suit your traction conditions.
What's more, every mounted tool is basically interchangeable
with every other new Row Crop tractor. When you add the
direct drive power take-off of the “77”, metered oil system,
battery ignition and the several ‘other new improvements,
you'll realize why the “77” is truly a farmer’s tractor.
