Tax Foundation calculations show similar tax rates in 1952 and 1959 but inflation erodes purchasing power.

Both bachelors and married men must earn more just to stay in place.

Virginia apple production unlikely to match markets
Virginia horticulturists at Virginia Tech predict apple production will rise over the next 15 years but likely will not keep pace with expanding markets. By 1975 they foresee 60 to 60 percent more apples, with pre tree yields up 20 to 30 percent and continued shifts in varietal mix toward Delicious and Golden Delicious. Integration with processing is expected but full integration by 1975 is unlikely. Peach output should remain stable with regional shifts and diversification of varieties.
