Maryland Soil
Conservation
Raises Yield
Improved Lands
Show Increase of
Is to 100 Per Cent

Maryland farmers. in cooperation
with soil conservation technicians,
have developed 1886 conservation
farm plans for IA per cent Of the
States agricultural acreage, with
the result that yields on improved
lands have increased from IS to 100
per cent, it was revealed last week
by University of Maryland Extension
officials.
Despite this record, achieved since
the first soil conservation district
was organized in the State in 1888
officials said a tremendous job still
awaits conservationsists If all Mary
lands farm land is to be brought
to maximum production.
For example, it was said, there
are 743,428 acres still to be strip
cropped, 466, POI acres to be drained
647 900 acres of pastures to be
treated, 109,077 acres to be refor-
ested, 1856 acres Of woodlands to
be improved, 10000 acres to be ter
raced, 1873 acres to be cleared for
drainage, and 1888 farm ponds to
be constructed.
Conservationists estimate that only
5 per cent of the land on Mary
land farms is suitable for cultiva-
ton without soil conservation prac-
tices, while up to Sc per cent can be
cultivated profitably if protected by
erosion control practices, moisture
measures or drainage methods.
Despite wartime shortages Of man.
power and equipment, farmers and
technicians in Maryland's % soil
conservation districts repeatedly
have strip cropped 58,210 acres;
treated 76,061 acres of pasture
drained 75,545 acres Of farm lands
and reforested $3.50 acres.
This work, it was said, has resulted
In a rs per cent per acre increase ir
corn yields; II per cent increase fol
tomatoes; 18 per cent for wheat; Il
per cent for clover and timothy hay
80 per cent for alfalfa; 100 per cent
in the animal carrying capacity Of
pastures. and 23 per cent in milk
production.

Reporting Service, should amount to
Is, $780, 900, an increase of 2,l89 900
bushels over the 10-year average,
and more than three times last
years crop of $500, 900 bushels. This
years Virginia crop, however, falls
900 900 bushels short of the l4,580,-
900 bushels harvested in 1914.
Maryland producers this year ex-
pect to harvest a 1.76S, ,000- -bushel
crop, compared to $4,000 bushels
last year. The Maryland crop is
10000 bushels short of the 10-year
average, and $4,000 bushels below
the 1865, 900 mark of 1914
Maryland crop reporting officials
said a reduction in trees in Western
Maryland orchards and damage to
fruit on the Eastern Shore by early
frosts were partly responsible for
the below average crop. The crop
last year in both States was dam
aged extensively by early freezes.

Apple Growers Gathering
.15-MilliOn-BuShel Crop

Maryland and Virginia CONNER
cial apple producers last week were
deep in the harvest of the 1916 crop,
estimated at more than $1,000 900
bushels in the two States.
Reports from Western Maryland
and the Virginia Valley section, the
two chief apple producing areas,
were that labor conditions are much
improved over last year and that
little or no fruit is expected to be
lost because of a lack of pickers.
Agronomists at the University of
Maryland said dry weather has had
no effect on the crop so far, but pre-
dicted a heavy drop of fruit If
windy weather or heavy rains set in.
In the Berryville (Va) area, pro-
ducers report the use of a drop
preventing spray with good results.

Food Wasfage
Can Be Reduced by
Serving Carefully
By Margaret MePheeters


With the world food supply still
scarce, Americans might well take
steps to rid themselves OF the doubt
full title of producers of the worlds
richest garbage. The garbage can
in this country Is still the catch-all
for about 100 pounds Of food wasted
each year by every member Of every
American family.
BY cutting down on garbage we
in America could, at the same time,
lower our food costs and probably
eat better balanced meals in the
bargain.
In many homes much food is
wasted simply because too much is
put on the plates. Rolls, butter,
bread and parts Of cooked foods are
left on the plate to be thrown away.
In the home, portions Of food can be
made the right size for each person,
so that none is left. 1t is far from
fashionable today to leave part of
each dish of food on the plate.
Many families also waste food
through careless handling of left
overs. Many cooked foods can be
saved by prompt cooling and chilli
ing. Then they can be used in
stews, casserole dishes and soup, as
well as in such standard mixture
as hash. Fats from foods can be
carefully saved and used in gravy
or sauce. Fats that are no longer
edible should be salvaged and turned
in to the butcher, to assure in return
supply OF soap.
Careful buying Of foods to suit the
family needs is another means of
preventing waste. The larger the
family refrigerator, the larger the
quantities Of food that can be pur-
chased without danger Of sponage
A system Of canning part OF the
wholesale purchases Of fresh foods
has proved practical, in the season
when the foods are most plentiful
and low in cost
Try to prevent waste in prepara-
ton Of food. Thin peelings, use o.
fresh vegetables with the skins on
simpler dishes that require less
cooking, and use OF many raw foods
save losses.

Garden Tips
For This Week

The more weeds that can be pre-.
vented from going to seed this fal
will mean that many less to content
with next spring. ae-s1F e.
+ 1t is time to thin turnips, kale arlo
other fall crops so that they Will
continue to make vigorous growth
Crowded plants, especially the root
crops, cannot develop properly unless
given room.
Glad corms should be dug and
dried of as soon as the foliage
shows signs Of maturity. If the
corms are left in the ground after
active growth has stopped there is
danger of rotting. Dig. remove the
tops and cure them as soon as
possible.
Hardy asters are a dependable
fall flower, but they have one bad
habit. The seeds spread widely if
left to mature on the plants. BY
cutting the flower heads as soon as
they have faded this can be pre-
vented. The same applies to aspara-
gus plants.
Because of the dryness of the soil,
newly planted evergreens should be
kept watered. In many places the
soil Is dry to a depth of 2 feet.
Young plants, or those recently dis
turbed need additional moisture.

Oberati0naI Notes
at Nearby Farms

Despite the fact that Maryland
farmers have storage hay stocks
from 10 to 20 per cent above normal,
there is not enough high quality
hay and silage on hand for most
efficient production, according to
John w. Magruder, Maryland ex-
tension agromomist.
Mr.. Magruder said Maryland
farmers now have on hand about
IN tons Of hay, ton Of silage
and half 4 ton of corn stover for
each mature dairy and beef COW
The hay this year, however, he said
contains more weeds than norma
and more grasses instead of legumes
For. milk production, he continued
the amount Of roughage now or
hand would be adequate only fol-
. COW to produce 5000 pounds OF
milk and 200 pounds OF butterfat
in a test year. To produce 7,50C
pounds of milk and 300 pounds OF
butterfat it would require 2la to ;
tons of high quality hay for winter
feeding, or 2 tons of hay with :
tons of silage.
Mr.. Magruder urged farmers to
check on the amount OF roughage
on hand before winter. II the
stock is too low, he said, roughage
may be purchased, or some of the
stock sold.
Suffers grass, a tall meadow fescue
is being tested for adaptability to
Prince William County farms. A
small quantity of the seed now is
available, and additional seed from
a five-acre test plot will be avail
able later If the grass proves de-
sirable.
Virginia livestock producers will
attend a field day Friday at the
Virginia Agricultural Experimental
Station at Blacksburg. Various
phases of livestock production and
the care and improvement Of pas
lures will be discussed.
