The Maryland State Board of Agrlcul
ture has issued the following regulation
covering the feeding of garbage to hogs
Garbage, table refuse or other products
which might contain pieces or scraps Of
pork Of any description, other than that
made on the premises where fed. which
has not been previously sterilized, shall
not be fed to swine on any premises in the
State of Maryland without first having
been heated sufficiently to destroy the hog
cholera virus. Sterilizing apparatus used
for this purpose shall be subject to the in
spection and approval of the Live Stock
Sanitary Section of the Maryland State
Board of Agriculture" The necessity for
such regulation arises from the fact that
40 per cent. of the losses from cholera in
1918 was caused by feeding unsterlized
garbage.
The Farm Demonstration Office will have
few packages of wilt-resistant tomato
seed for distribution. This seed should 90
to those who have had trouble with the
wilt disease. These resistant strains of
several different varieties have been de-
veloped at the Experiment Station and 90
a long way toward insuring crop where
the disease is prevalent. This disease can
not be controlled by spraying. Anyone
wishing one of these packages of seed
should communicate with County Agent
Van Hoesen.
Some interesting figures were obtained
from the records kept by the threshermen
of the county on the acreage and yield of
wheat in 1918. The total acreage reported
on 1000 farms was 33,779 acres, OF an
average of approximately 81 acres per
farm. These acres threshed out 518,036
bushels, or an average of 1873 bushels per
acre. Of course last years wheat crop
was below the average yield because of
the severe winter, but these figures are
suggestive in connection with the figures
secured last spring in the survey of the
cost Of growing an acre of wheat. That
survey showed our wheat was costing
$3.50 per bushel on the basis of 20 bushels
to the acre yield. The actual yield was
but IL bushels to the acre. This means
that it cost the farmers approximately SO
per bushel on the average to grow it. And
yet the consumer insists that the farmer
is getting rich on $220 wheat. Some
body is dreaming.
The above figures also suggest that the
wheat crop receives more attention from
the man who grows it. A better yielding
variety, better quality seed, proper top
dressing at the proper time, treating seed
for smut. may boost the yield so as to max e
the difference between profit and loss on
the crop. II it cannot be grown at profit.
then a substitute for the wheat crop should
be sought. To grow crop from habit rather
than for profit can no longer be justified.
The individual grower must beat the aver
age or be beaten. If the margin of profit
per bushel is small. there must be enough
bushels to insure reasonable profit per
acre.
