MD. FARM LEADERS ASK U. S.
AID ON LABOR

Declaring that the farm-labor
shortage in Maryland is likely to be
more critical next year than this year
or last the Farm Labor Committee
meeting in Baltimore, at the Lord
Baltimore Hotel asked that German
prisoners of war be retained "as
long as possible"
The committee also asked that
provisions be made "for the full mo-
bilization of all local labor resources
including Southern migrants" and
that provisions "be made for as many
imported workers as may be neces-
sary as a supplement to domestic sea-
sonal workers.
1t recommended that emergency
farm-labor program successfully op-
Grated in Maryland during 1914 and
1945 be continued in 1916, through
an adequate federal appropriation
under the leadership of TIE Exten-
sion Service"
The eommittee-which represents
the organized farmers of Maryland,
including the Maryland State Farm
Bureau Federation and the Maryland
State Grange-forwarded a copy of
its resolution to the secretary of ag-
riculture, the Federal Extension Ser
vice, the Office of Labor and to each

FARMERS WARNED AGAINST
FEEDING IMMATURE CORN

Farmers were warned last week to
be careful about feeding soft, imma-
ture or moldy corn to hogs this fall,
in a special report issued by the
American Foundation for Animal
Health.
Hogs receiving new corn should
be started on it lightly" the report
suggests. animals should be watch
ed closely for signs of digestive dis
turbances. Such disturbances often
allow infections to get start in the
inflamed digestive tract, and these
infections can easily develop into en-
teritis, or turn into blood poisoning.
eff hogs have not been immuniz-
ed against cholera. feeding soft corn
increases the CHOLERA disease hazard
Hogs do not actually contract cholera
from soft corn, as many farmers be-
lieve, but feeding such corn may low
er the resistance of the drive so that
cholera is able to make inroads in
the herd more easily. Veterinarians
also report that farmers frequently
mistake soft-corn digestive distur-
Dances for cholera, and vice-versa.
Because of this, immunization OF
swine against cholera is probably
more important this fall than in any
autumn in recent years.
Proper nutritional balance in feed
ing new corn, and careful checking
of the herd for signs of sickness were
emphasized as paramount precau-
tions for all swine fraisers.

TRAINED DAIRY HERD TESTERS
NEEDED

Maryland dairy men may lose
money and lower the efficiency oi
tEeir herds through lack of trained
dairy herd improvement testers
George Hyatt, Jr., extension dairy
specialist of the University of Mary
land, said in calling for recruits fol
training in this essential job.
The regular monthly testing oi
milk and butterfat production of in
dividual animals in the herds enables
The farmer to weed out poor cows
and maintain efficiency of milk pro
duction, said Mr.. Hyatt. Many farm
ers are unable to get this job done
today
According to 1943-44 herd i'm
Drovement records on $50 farms il
cost some farmers as much as 76
cents in feed for every pound of but
teifat produced by the poorer cows
in their herds This is far above the
retail price of pound of butter. The
same records showed feed cost OF
only 40 cents a pound of butterfat
among cows that were better milk
producers with butterfat record OF
450 pounds year.
Rates of pay for the dairy testing
work have increased, Mr.. Hyatt
pointed out, and the University OF
Maryland offers a low-cost but inten-
sive tWo-week training course for
prospective workers. Both men and
women who have had dairy farm ex
perience and some high school educa-
ton may qualify for the training.
Maryland now has one woman DHIA
tester, Miss Hedwig Heineman in
Anne Arundel County.
