Farming News
By J. T. McLAURIN

Three to one is the ratio E. c.
Francis, of the Helton community,
has found the yield to be on well
drained bottom land over hill
land. Due to the shortage Of labor
and a record breaking order for
food or freedom, this ratio can
be increased by heavy appllca-
ton of stable manure and a cover
crop of rye, Mr.. Francis points
out. He further points out that
the use of silage seed corn will
increase the yield by one third
on the same land.
Last year Mr.. Francis had 2
acres planted to silage corn. He
filled his SO ton silo and had an
estimated 20 ton Of silage corn
left over. The year before he had
3 acres planted to regular corn
and only got As tons Of silage.

District Milk SHORTAGE
Likely This Winter,
Farm Report Says
Maryland and Virginia
Farmers Foce Fumine
In Livestock Feed

A warning that an acute milk
shortage will be felt in Washington
in late winter unless the feed stu
alton is remedied was sounded to-
day in a report on representative
Maryland and Virginia farms by the
Agricultural News Agency.
According to the survey, farmers
supplying dairy, poultry and live
stock products to the Washington
Baltimore markets are so short Of
feed they are producing from 20 to
Is per cent less milk than their
dealer sales quotas permit. In addi-
ton. the feed shortages are sharply
curtailing poultry and egg produc-
ton and are causing farmers to sell
of dairy and beef cattle in an ef-
fort to adjust their operations tc
the vanishing feed supplies.
Drought Is Blamed.
The area in the two States ad.
joining Washington, the survey says
has been particularly hard hit be-
cause OF the summer drought which
burned pastures and cut the corr
crop to as low as rs per cent OF
normal.
Corn, normally the main feed
grain, Is virtually unobtainable
since the hog corn ratio makes 1t
more profitable for Midwest farmers
to feed their corn to hogs than to
sell the grain at present ceiling
prices. Protein feeds, necessary to
maintain milk production. are as
difficult to obtain as corn, the sur
vey said.
Among Virginia farmers, w. G.
Wood, Sperryville: R. c. Quaintance,
Woodville; Silas Miller, Sperryville
and James E. Arnold, Lucketts, re-
ported they are carrying less live
stock because OF the feed shortage.
Faces Liquidation.
In Maryland. William r. Powell,
manager of a 300-head dairy farm
near Ellicott City. said he would be
forced to liquidate If feed is not
made available.
Bruce B. Derrick. secretary
treasurer of the Maryland and Vir-
ginia Milk Producers Association.
reported that his members had a
visible feed supply" of about 20
days. Normal is supply Of 60 to 80
days, Mr.. Derrick said.
I'VE have had a lot of promises
that feed will move" Mr.. Derrick
said, but when you try to pin it
down nothing happens. Frankly, I
hate to see February and March
come, because if we are on hand
to-mouth basis today we will really
be in bad shape by then"

man, said he hoped that the inte-
grafton Of the whole system of

would result in more efflcient and
economical service for the county"
The meeting is an outgrowth Of
an open hearing held earlier this

Gent OF A. & r, and Joseph Arnold
OF Arnold Lines, agreed to the suR.
gestion OF Robert May, president
OF A., B. g. w., that the companies
reach an equitable agreement before
the sec hearing.
Such an agreement would necessi.
tate withdrawal Of present applica.
tions before the Corporation Com.
mission. 1t was pointed out, for any
route changes agreed upon would
nullify present requests.
Mr.. Lane reminded PUG onicials
OF recommendations made by that
body several years ago that areas
be determined upon and restricted
to services Of one company. Mr..
Magruder said yesterday that al.
though such an act granting terri.
torlal integrity could not be pre-
scr1bed by law, 1t was "a principle
which might be agreed upon at the
closed sessions" .:
A., B. w.. which operates south
out Of darlington, objected several

ton to service that area to the
north, later entering its own appli-
cation for a route into Clarendon
which would run over present A.

The Arnold Line has entered ap-
pllcation for route from Chain
Bridge to No. ! highway.
Bus Terminal Changed.
Meanwhile, Joseph Arnold, gen.
eral manager of the Arnold Line,
announced the company on Monday
will begi nto use the new terminal
at Fifteenth and K streets NV, in
compliance with an Once of De-
fense Transportation order that
one-third OF the Arnold buses en-
tering the District over Key Bridge
be turned around short of the
present terminalat Eleventh and E
streetz.
Mr.. Arnold said difficulties in
arranging new schedules would
make it impossible for the company
to begin using the new terminal
before the first of the week. While
the ODT order became effective
last, Monday, period of grace was
given until arrangements for the
terminal and new schedules could
be made.
Passengers going to downtown
Washington from Virginia, Mr..
Arnold said. can take a bus bound
for the Fifteenth and K street
terminal and can then transfer at
that point to another Arnold bis
going to the Eleventh and E street
terminal.
Passengers going to points in Vir-
elnla from the vicinity of K street
