As Maryland Crop
Py the Associated Press.


COLLEGE PARK, Md, April 90
Tomatoes were described as Mary
lands most important vegetable crop
in bulletin published by the Uni
versity Of Maryland experiment
station.
The authors were DR.. c. H. Ma
honey, head of the department of
horticulture, and Herman A. Hun
ter, canning crops specialist
They said that in 1941 the tomato
acreage in Maryland was $4,000
acres of which $500 acres were
grown for market. The 1941 pro-
duction was 6,067 ,888 cases. Income
to growers was $5,593 900 from the
canning acreage and s762 900 from

the increased demand for tomatoes
and a serious labor shortage this
year it was important that growers
use more efficient production meth
DDS to insure maximum yields with
labor costs.
