|Blandford Urges
Farmers to Plan
Pasture Programs

Maryland farmers IN planning
1913 farm practices should include
some permanent pastures, according
to Joseph H. Blandford, State Pro-
duction and Marketing Administers
ton chairman.
Mr.. Blandford said permanent
pastures on every farm will carry
livestock, such as hogs and poultry.
and will contribute toward reducing
feed costs.
The PIMA chairman said perma-
nent pastures may be established on
hilly land that is too steep for the
production Of row crops. Credit at
the rate of IS an acre will be al
lowed under the PIMA program, he
said. This allowance, he added, will
somewhat OFFSET the higher costs of
fertilizer materials, seed and labor.
Pointing out that seed used pri-
marily for Maryland pastures may
be scarce at normal seeding time,
Mr.. Blandford urged farmers to con-
tact county committees now to plan
their programs.
The supplies of alsike clover, les
pedeza and timothy seeds are slightly
above average, he said, while red top
Is below average.

ened of and ready for trans
planting by mid-March.
8 Present forecasts indicate fairly
normal supplies of most kinds of
seeds, fertilizer, tools and spray
materials. but do not postpone
placing the spring orders until
planting time. There will always
be some local shortages and con-
sequent delays and disappoint-
ments. Have everything needed
on hand and ready when the
planting season finally arrives.
A few days delay is likely to re-
suit In poorer yields than is to be
expected from seed sown at the
proper season.

In buying new garden tools,
examine them for lightness, bal
ance and adaptability. There Is
a lot of difference in. tools and
the right tools make work easier
and usually they do the job bet
ter. Some are too heavy for ease
in handling, consequently are
firing. Others are not balanced
to suit the gardener and hence
are awkward to handle. Select
your garden tools much as the
golfer selects his clubs.

According to DR.. L. C. Chad
wick of Ohio State University,
shade trees can be fertilized at
any season of the year. Fall ap-
plications had a slight advantage
in the tests, but variations in
weather, especially rainfall, are
likely to cause them to vary from
year to year. w. H. Y.

Three New Flower Varieties and
Five Vegetables Found Superior

of bush growth, delicious stringless,
round podded green snaps and heavy
yielding white shelled beans.
Supergreen snapbean brings new
table quality to the home garden,
together with heavy yield. Appetite
ing long, slender, round pods are
entirely stringless, crisp and brittle.
1t is resistant to bean mosaic, very
productive main crop variety to beat
the high food costs.
Victory Freezer pea has been bred
for the yield, quality and wilt
resistance Of Thomas Laxton, with
hardness to heat and cold weather.
It does not lose its skin IN freezing.
It's heat resistance brings peas back
to the home garden. Victory Freezer
Is delicious in flavor, tender and
apparently skinless, ready to pick
"a days after planting, and heavy
!main-crop producer. It may be
planted early. The dark green,
medium heavy vines reach about
% inches, are swilt-resistant, and
bear to 81 inch dark green blunt
pods in pairs. The medium sized,
dark green berries become wrinkled
when dried.
Freezonian pea was bred for the
garden qualities of the wilt-resistant
Thomas LaXton, suitability for
freezing, productivity and hardness.
1t is practically free from rabbit
ear" or skeleton vine" rogues. Vines
are medium. heavy, 80 inches tall,
with dark green, blunt. 31a-inch
pods about So days after planting.
This pea also has tender, clinging
and untouchable skin, is high in
sugar content, with extra quality
and flavor.
Honorable Mention.
Honorable mention went to:
Peerless bush lima bean. This is
an extremely heavy-bearing plant
with clusters Of pods near the base
for easy picking. The green beans
are uniform in size and shape, aver
age three to a pod, well spaced.
Beans are medium in size, larger
than Henderson with the relative
thickness of Fordhook and its high
est eating quality. Dry seeds are
slightly wrinkled, light green with
cream tint. The beans are ready to
pick in 70 to 80 days.
Excel, yellow Bermuda onion.
This is the earliest in this, earliest,
mildest, sweetest type. 1t grown
uniform in size and shape and is
almost entirely free from thick necks
and bulb divisions. Because Excel
is outstanding in the lower South,
where Bermudas are adapted, it is
given sectional recommendation OF
the highest possible order for plant
ing there.
Cherokee, a wax-podded bush
snapbean. The Cherokee's merit lies
in its hardness, vigor, upright
growth, with plants bearing medium
early, prolific, uniform, long, straight
and mesty, golden yellow oval pods
Of good quality. It's maturity is uni

Virginia this year will become
the national proving ground for n
educational cattle grading program
according to L. B. Dietrich, director
Of the State Extension Service.
z Mr.. Dietrich said Virginia wa
selected for the national test be
cause Of the pioneer work in lamb
grading that has been carried on In
the State.
The detectives Of the program,
Mr.. Dietrich explained. will be to
show the practically of marketing
beef cattle on the basis Of grades
by familiarizing producers with
grade standards and carcass yields;
by more effective use Of market
news and outlook information. and
by helping farmers determine mar
ket costs.

Cattle Grading Study Planned
Virginia Educational Program Set Up
To Be Pattern for Entire Nation

The program also will deal with
|liveweight shrinkage and the rela-
tionship between live and carcass
grades Of cattle originating on VII
ginia farms.
In lamb grading, Mr.. Dietrich
said, Virginia now has advanced
to the point where farmers are
familiar with the usual market
grades and are able to eye-grade
on the farm. The marketing OF
green and unfinished lambs has
thus been reduced to minimum.
Cooperating agencies in the new
program, in addition to the extern
sion service, are the State Agrt-
cultural Experiment Station. the
Virginia Division of Markets. the

the better for this flower. In a
favorable location, California pop
pies self-sow and come up year
after year. We hope this will be
true with Sunbeam.
Vegetable Newcomers.
The newcomers in the vegetable
garden were numerous and interest
ing. Those who like a white sweet
corn were pleasantly surprised with
Snowcross. 1t natures in about the
same time as Golden Gross Bantam
and the ears are about the same
size and length. The kernels are
smaller, and as sweet as Stowell S
evergreen. Speaking of new varie-
ties Of sweetcorn, the Agriculture
Department variety developed for
resistance to the corn ear worm was
hard to test in local gardens since
most gardeners were using DOT to
keep the Japanese beetles from de-
vouring the tassels and silks. It
would seem likely that the DOT
also killed some of the larvae of the
corn ear worm.
Lettuce Bronze Beauty proved to
be as good as the Oak Leaf in
growth and flavor. The richer color
may or may not be attractive to
gardeners, but the variety is we'll
worth growing. It transplants
easily and should be given plenty
of spacing. Slobolt seems to have
become we'll established in local
gardens since its introduction
three years ago. It is especially
good for spring planting. Give it
plenty of space and it will produce
enormous heads.

ductivity, as we'll as earliness of
maturity it is better than the
standard varieties. II resistant to
the mosaic 1t would be the answer
to all of our troubles in cucumber
growing.
Disease Affects Tomatoes.
Last year we mentioned that the
golden tomato, Jubilee, was the
last to succumb to the blight. This
year we will have to confess that
some disease killed two OF our six
plants when they we're about 6
feet high and in full production.
Whatever was the cause it did not
affect any other variety in the gar
den. The new hybrids, Clinton,

Last year was banner year when
it came to new things to try out in
the garden. There were several new
petunias, snapdragons, marigolds, as
well as new names among many of
the other flowers and, of course, the
vegetables shared in the production
of newcomers. Some Of these were
outstanding, according to the ALL
America trials.
Many home gardeners tried the
new flowers and vegetables and
some of the results were most in
teresting. Not many tried the new
double petunia, Mrs. Dwight Eisen-
hover, but those who did were fav-
orably impressed. The very double
salmon-pink flowers bore little re-
semblance to the common petunia
Of yesteryear. The, variety, Shades
Of Rose, with its huge flowers of
many shades of pink, was very
pleasing. Many gardeners consider
it the best of the newer petunia
varieties. For the large Powered
bush type it certainly is outstand-
ing. 1t is, of course. in q different
class from the dwarf compact type
such as Brighteyes; which many
look upon as an edging plant. Rose
Marie is another new double that
appeared promising.
Larkspur, White Wonder, was
planted too late in my garden for
a fair test, and will be grown again
in 1948. Apparently it is going to
be better than White King and 9TH
ers of the standard branching va
rieties. Without fall or very early
spring planting it is difficult to grow
good larkspur in this area. Fall is
the recommended season for plant
ing.
Asters Did Well.
Last year was an Aster year in
this area and almost all varieties
did very well. Aster Early Bird, q
1947 introduction, with carmine-rose
flowers did very well and bloomed
ahead Of the standard wilt-resistant
varieties with which it was COM
pared. It seemed more dwarf and
petals were not quite so long and
recurved, however, its earliness in
dicated it worth trying again.
AS usual the newer marigolds did
very well in local gardens. Frills
Primrose, Naughty Marietta and
Flash did very well in spite of the
early summer rains. Flash is a
dwarf plant with blended colors
from red to yellow. Primrose, on
somewhat taller plants, may not ap-
peal to some gardeners because the
foliage has not been deodorized.
Frills has frilly carnationlike
golden orange flowers and odorless
foliage. Naughty Marietta belongs
to the dwarf French group. The
flowers are single, Of a lovely golden
yellow with a maroon blotch at the
base of the petals. The marigolds
this year were much more dwarf
than previous introductions, which
often reached 4 and S feet in height
Frills, Primrose and Flash range
from Is to "a inches. Naughty
Marietta was nearer . foot in
height.
The new California poppy, Sun
bean, is a bright double Powered
yellow that promises to be a most
welcome addition to the sunny

Prince William
County Farmers
Improve Land

Increased emphasis on soil con.
servation and improvement in Prince
William County is shown In the
annual report of county agriculture
activities by County Agent Frank
D. Cox.
Farmers of the county are becom.
ing increasingly conservation mind
ed. The work of the local Soil Con-
servation District program, started
in 1916, already is showing results.
Requests by farmers for soil maps
and farm plans have come from
every magisterial district.
Tours to demonstrations in other
areas during the year were we'll at
tended. These included visits tt
farm pond projects in the Winches-
ter area, to strip cropping demon
STATIONS In Albemarle and Culpepel
Counties, to ditch blasting opera
tions in King George County, and
to grassland farming projects In
Louisa and Fairfax Counties.
Seven farm ponds, ranging in size
from one-haf to six acres, were con-
structed and stocked. Farmers at
tending self -propagating ditch-blast-
ing demonstrations in King George
County returned and employed this
method of ditching in their own
community.
New Methods Adopted.
Farmers and dairymen visiting
grassland farming demonstrations
are adopting many OF the methods
on their own farms. The number OF
farmer owned bulldozers, as well as
bulldozers used by custom operators
for soil conservation purposes, is in
creasing as the equipment becomes
available.
Balanced fertilizer is gradually re-
placing straight superphosphate for
use on pastures. Heavier applications
of fertilizer, based on crop needs
are being made gradually. A few
more farmers discovered during the
year that they could produce good
alfalfa crops on carefully selected
fields with proper preparation.
Clover Acreage Increasing.
Every Prince William dairyman
who does not already have some
land seeded to alfalfa Is working in
that direction Ladino clover is
taking an important place as a pas
ture crop and the acreage In the
crop is increasing rapidly.
As more lime is used. the need for
making soil tests for lime require
ments increase. Approximately $50
soil samples were tested for lime
requirements during the year. An
other hundred samples were for
fard to the v. P. I. agronomy de-
partment for a complete plant food
requirement analysis.
The longtime program of encour-
aging an increased use Of lining
materials started years ago has
been continued and farmers have
been kept in contact with the most
economical sources of lining mate
rails.
The opening Of new mari beds
in Northern Virginia and COMPETE
ton between the owners of these
beds has resulted in lining mate
rial being cheaper and more widely
used last year than during any pre-
vious year. The material is brought
in spreader trucks directly from the
mari beds in Clarke County and
applied to the land as 1t Is delivered.

Milk Delivery
Duplication Cited
IASPrice Factor

Duplication in retail and whole
sale milk deliveries is cited by agri'
cultural economists 1T Virgins
Polytechnic Institute as one factoa
that keeps the prices Of milk about
2 cents per quart higher thar
necessary. F..
The economists say that II pro-
ducers and consumers apply pres
sure to stop this duplication an ap-
preciable saving will be made pos.
sible in equipment, capital and
labor requirements.
Reporting son New York study
the economists say that the cost OF
retail delivery of milk in upstate
New York in 1910 varied between
and cents per quart, and In
New York City from SIS to 6.5 cents
per quart. The study showed that
approximately 38.2 per cent Of the
time spent in travel and delivery
could be saved by alternate day de-
livery.
Means Of Saving Outlined.
Wages and truck operation rep
resent 80 per cent of total delivery
costs, the economists point out, and
it has been estimated that 2 cents
per quart could be saved II milk de-
livery were . public utility.
Although milk producers have only
limited control outside the bound
aries of the farm, the producer
should follow his product through
to the consumer, economists believe.
He should strive to maintain friend
ly workable relationships with the
distributors and should insist on
every possible distribution economy
and on programs to expand demand.
Another practice recommended by
economists is the growing out IN
Virginia dairy herds of large re-
placements. In one study Of 554
dairy herds in another State, 1t was
found that for each increase Of 100
pounds in the size Of the COW, there
was an average increase OF 900
pounds of milk produced per year.
