MARYLAND ORCHARDISTS
URGED TO CUT PAINTINGS

In view of the fact that two-thirds of
the trees in the barreled-apple States
are less than 19 years of age, and nearly
one-third are under 8 years of age, it
would seem inadviSable for Maryland
orchardistS to contemplate additional
commercial paintings unless conditions
are favorable for the economical pro-
duction of good-quality fruit it is stated
in the annual State Agricultural Out
look, recently released by the extension
service of the University of Maryland
If, however, the individual grower
feels justified in increasing his acreage,
he should pay special attention to the
location and choice of varieties. particu-
larly with reference to market prefer
ence and adaptability of the variety to
the region. Production of good quality
fruit in Maryland, it is emphasized, is of
first Importance, while reduced produc-
ton cost should be second.
: According to the Outlook a somewhat
different situation confrontS the Mary
land peach grower, for light paintings
in the South In recent years would seem
to indicate decrease in production of
this crop. This condition seems to exist
in most of the other peach-growing
sections with the exception of the Cum
berland-S area, where pres
ent bearing acreages will be maintained
However, as with the apple grower, the
Outlook advises the peach grower to
work toward better production and
quality of fruit on trees now planted
rather than any extensive increase in
planting.
The lowest commercial acreage of
strawberries in the United States since
1926. poor condition of plants and indi-
cations of low production would seem
to justify State growers in making a
moderate increase in their strawberry
paintings. it is pointed out in the Mary
land Outlook Also, with this reduced
acreage In the early-producing States
and stabilized production in the late
States, Maryland, as an intermediate
State, should have a fair market in
1881.

BY the Associated Press.
Reduced prices in the world market,
coupled with competitions from other
countries, and the effects Of revolution
at home brought about heavy decline
in Brazils exports Of manganese dur
ing 1880.
Reports to the Commerce Department
indicate foreign shipments amounted to
1872, 1872 metric tons, valued at 81 1854, $40,
as compared with 293,318 metric tons
valued at $3,370,971 In 1929.

TARIFF BOOST ASKED ON EGGS
 BY WEST COAST

San Francisco. (UP)-President Hoover and the Federal Tariff Com mission have been asked by John E. Pickett. agricultural economist, to increase the duty on eggs imported from China to prevent another $2o0, 100000 loss to the American egg industry.
 This sum represented the loss in income to American poultry men last year due to a 27 per cent slump in prices. Pickett, who is editor of the Pacific Rural Press, told the commission.
 "At a time when the egg price cycle should have tilted upward and agricultural economists were pre- dieting that 1t would, flood of cheap, processed Chinese eggs came into the country" Pickett said in an open letter. These Chinese eggs were just about equivalent to the entire surplus of storage eggs in the country. and exerted a powerful price depressing ifluec.
