Hybrid Corn Grows
Widely in MARYLAND

About three-quarters of Mary
lands corn acreage is being planted
to hybrid varieties, says Russell G
Rothgeb, agronomist at the Univer-
sity of Maryland. He predicts that
by 1949 these varieties will have re-
placed almost all open-pollinated
types in the State.
His report accompanied sum-
mary of nine tests last year by the
agronomy department in co-opera-
ton with farmers and county
agents. Tests were located in all
of the States major corn growing
area: The coastal plain region, CEN
trail or Piedmont region and the
Limestone Valley region of Western
Maryland.
Tests included As open pedigree
hybrids developed by college ex-
pertinent stations, At hybrids from
commercial companies, and two
en-pollinated, Or non-hybrid, va
rieties. Other varieties were planted
for observation at intermediate and
high attitudes in Allegany and Gar
rett Counties. ..,r,, .-...
DR.. Rothgeb warns that one years
tests are insufficient to judge corn
variety and states that three years
of testing is minimum basis for
making recommendations.

The Long-Range Garden Plan
Advisory Commission Idea Goes Beyond
Immediate Small Crop Production
BY w. H. Younemon

Gardeners usually make good citi-
zens.
Some will point out among les
ons learned from World War II,
that the destruction and loss OF
life in congested areas from bomb
ing was appalling. 1t is hoped that
safety will not be factor in plan
ming in the future.
Role Commission Can Assume.
Certainly there are reasons enough
for the creation Of commission
such as that recommended by the
conference. Such an advisory COM
mission would take the lead in .fos-
tering better planning for urban
suburban and rural areas, including
recreational grounds as well as i'm
provement of homes and public
grounds.
A commission, however, could not
be expected to achieve this goal
overnight, for while it would have
an excellent pattern of successful,
we'll planned, prewar suburban and
rural residential development, there
will be some who will wish to ex-
plot the public and Will resist any
curbs which may be proposed.
Those who are obliyious to the
desire of many for the advantage
of the country-a healthier, happier
community in which to live-should
be made to realize that they are
working against their own best in
terests. Congested communities,
wherever located, are apt to be
problem areas whose costs must be
borne by ALL Putting it in another
way, we might say the erection OF
congested communities in the SUB
urbs or rural areas simply COM
bines the disadvantages of both city
and country, hence does not make
for a better way Of living.
Costs Are Not Prohibitive.
There is the problem Of provid-
ing sewage disposal, water supplies
and roads without making the cost
of the homes prohibitive to the great
majority of families. This, however,
should not be too difficult to over
come. We need only to point to
those well-planned suburban and
rural residential developments that
featured modern homes. Their sue
cess was phenomenal.
Experts from such a national COM
mission can aid in formulating
zoning regulations that will foster
and protect rural residential areas.
It will take much real educational
work to show many people what is
needed to attain better way of
living.
We already have too many subur-
ban developments in the Washing
ton area with most of the disad-
vantages Of the city and few of the
advantages of a rural area which,
when compared to the desired type,
offer all of the evidence needed for
better planning. Leadership and
sound guidance can meet these
problems throughout the country

dedicated to guiding our citizens to
better way OF living.

Montgomery
ToSowHills
ToHay,
By O. w. Anderson
Mentsomery County Agent

Montgomery farmers are prepar-
Ing to complete the conversion Of
all steep land into pasture and hay
production. When this is completed
the problem of soil erosion will be
largely solved.
In stock-producing county such
as Montgomery, pasture and hay
become the two most important eco
nonic crops. Additional pasture
lands and hay fields mean more
livestock which can be fed more
economically.
Furthermore, much Of the steep
land cannot be used economically
for corn and wheat. 1t will, how
ever, produce grass and hay eco
nomically. And grass, next to for
ests, Is the best means of building
soil and preventing erosion.
Montgomery farmers already have
Q head start on the project, which
when completed will see some 5000
acres of steep land producing pas
lures and forage crops.
History Of the Project.
Several years ago Leonard G.
Burns, q county resident and a
member of the State AAA Commit
tee, saw an opportunity for Mary
land farmers to improve their pas
ture lands under the Triple A as
sistance program.
which the AAA Committee paid for
grass seed and distributed the seed
to farmers who wanted to improve
their pastures. Montgomery farm
ers were quick to act, and in 1945
some 1000 acres of steep land was
turned to pastures. There are
roughly about 1000 acres left that
should be planted in grass.
Since the first pasture improve
ment program was started in the
county, a soil conservation district
has been formed. 1t will be one of
the duties of district technicians to
carry on pasture improvement work
until all land in the county that is
unsuited for other crops will be
producing grass and hay.
In outlining our conservation pro-
grams. Montgomery farmers will
keep in mind the increasing necessity
of using machinery in farming
operations. All programs will be
designed for the maximum use of
machinery. In this we will profit
from the experience of a Western
farmer who several years ago bought
a Montgomery County farm.
County Did Big War Job.
A part of this mans land was
steep and he Immediately laid out
contour strips so that it could be
farmed with the minimum danger
from erosion. He failed, however,
to take into consideration the ma
chinery factor, and when he began
operations found that his machinery
was no good on the small contour
strips. This man quit in disgust,
sold his land and moved away.
During the war, Montgomery
County farmers, like farmers all
over America, thought first of pro-
ducing food. And the records tell
how well we did the job.

farmers increased milk production
by so per cent, raised our produc-
ton of other crops and never missed
a harvest. All this was accomplished
in the face of the most severe short
age Of labor and machinery on
record.

plishments to be as great, and that |

prior to 1910 when the soil conser-

Enough hay is now raised on the
farm to provide for about go ad-
ditional animals. Mr.. Collins said
corn yields jumped from seven to

yields went from Is to % bushels

averages 1880 pounds annually, and

Most Of the annual flowers will
benefit from an early start here if
you do not plan to put them in the
