PASTURE LANDS
IMPROVE WITH
FERTILIZERS

It pays to improve pastures by use
of commercial fertilizer and lime on
farms where there is need for addi-
tional pasture heritage, particularly
for heritage of high quality. That
conclusion is indicated by results to
date of a study of 20 pastures in
Maryland made by the agronomy de-
partment of the University Of Mary
land.
A comparison of pastures treated
according to approved recommends
tions by farmers in Central and West
ern Maryland with untreated pastures
managed in the usual way indicated
that for 1910 and 1941 the treated
pastures yielded 1-2 times as much
as the untreated. Average yields per
acre annually, expressed in pounds of
an equivalent amount of hay, were
1,768 and 4,657 pounds respectively.
For animals, such as dairy cows,
which consume forage equivalent to
about % pounds of hay daily, when
hay is the only roughage fed, each
acre of untreated pasture furnished
hcrbage enough for II days, and of
treated pasture for 1856 days.
The quality and palatability of the
treated pastures were far superior
Desirable grasses and legumes occu-
pied 82.4 percent of the land in treat

EXCHANGES
CRISFIELD SHUCKERS
RETURNED TO WORK

Crisfield's striking oyster shuckers
and packing house employees went
back to work Wednesday, under an
agreement reached between represen-
tatives of the oyster packers, repre-
sentatives of local No. 10000 of the
United Oystermen's Union, and Fed
eral Conciliator Rye of the National
Labor Relations Board.
The strikers went back to work I'M
der the same arrangements they had
before the strike; .35 cents per gallon
for shocking and nine pint cup for
measuring oysters.
The agreement Tuesday night calls
for what might be termed cooling
off" period of thirty days, during
which time the packers and shuckers
shall endeavor to negotiate their diff
ferences to the end that a contract
may be entered into between them at
the end of thirty days, or sooner if
erms can be arranged
The shuckers went out on strike
about a month ago, and have conse-
quently been idle during the best per-
iod of the oyster season, the Thanks
giving and the Christmas holidays.
During the period of the strike
probably two hundred shuckers have
left the community to find work on
the upper part of the Eastern Shore,
in New Jersey, and elsewhere.
For several weeks the union has
been supplying the strikers with food
and it is reported they have been pay
ing their insurance premiums and
rent.
The strike has been hard blow to
local business. and it is generally a
greed that between fifty and seven
ty-five thousand dollars in pay rolls
and for other purposes has been lost
by the strikers. Also, they have been
hurt as regards unemployment COM
pensation and old age insurance, as
their earnings during the strike per-
iod would have been unusually high.
Wednesday morning about two hum
dred shuckers returned to their for
mer places of employment, and it is
expected that by Monday of next
week all of them who were out on
strike will be back on their jobs.

MARYLAND AUTOS TO

cording to preliminary results of this
study, it is pointed out by those in
charge. The untreated and treated
pastures produced 1878 percent and
69.7 percent respectively of the total
growth by July 18, or nearly three
fourths of the heritage in the first
half of the growing season.
The average cost of fertilizer and
lime for the treated pastures was
$2.4O per acre. For this expenditure,
the heritage was increased 1888

The cost for fertilizer and lime was
$1.64 for each ton of heritage result
