"The committee urges all residents - to attend the testimonial for the young athletes. eTAFP Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary Jim McHale has urged the state’s sportsmen to get behind a constitutional amendment that would permit farmland to be taxed according to use rather than inflationary market value. Addressing the spring con- vention of the Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs, Secretary McHale said farmers currently are being driven off the land by soaring property taxes. ‘‘Good produc- tive land is being paved under by developments,’ he asserted. The secretary said the con- stitutional amendment, to be included in a referendum in the May primaries, is an essential first step toward preserving Little Leaguers Must Register Potential Little Leaguers, who would like to play for the Shavertown majors or minors, must register April 1.

STULL { { agricultural in Pennsylvania. He told the gathering, “As sportsmen, you are lovers of the great outdoors. Well, I have been a farmer and the land and our natural resources mean a great deal tome. I think we both want to see Pennsylvania kept green -- for our sports and recreation and for the very food and fiber we need.” Secretary McHale noted the decline of farms in Pennsyl- vania in recent years. “In 1960 we had 106,000 farms. By 1971, that number had dwindled to 71,000.” » He said farm attrition was related to increased property taxes. “In 1945, farm property taxes were five percent of farm operators’ net income. In 1970, they were 17.5 percent of net income.” greenbelts Eventually, Secretary McHale said, a new land policy will have to be established in Pennsylvania, in fact the nation. “There is just so much land to go around,” he said. “We must learn to plan our growth and development so that our best agricultural and recreation lands are not paved under.” The secretary noted that “to accomplish such a giant task may seem overwhelming. But we can take a first small step by passing that constitutional amendment.” The amendment, if passed, will permit nonuniform - land assessment. Legislation would then have to be passed spelling out how agricultural lands can qualify for tax assessment based on use rather than market value.
