FARM NOTES

Soybean prices will be supported
in Maryland again this year. A
price of $3.50 per bushel for yell
low and green beans and $2.l9
for black beans has been announ-
ced by the State PIMA Committee.
Chairman Blandford said the 1851
prices are 38 percent higher than
the 1850 support rates and apply
to beans grading No. 2 or better
at IA percent moisture. Complete
information is available at Coun-
ty PIMA offices.

lots of scrap iron for further re-
pairs.
6. Skimp on grease. That way
parts wear faster and break
sooner.
7. Let it rust. This is a sure
fire way to the scrap heap.
8. Don't ever clean your engine.
The dirt will cover small defects
so that you will have a big break
down instead of little one.
The fertilizer industry says suf-
ficient supplies of nitrogen and
phosphate will probably be avail
able for mixed goods with short,
ages being confined largely to su-}
perphosphate alone and to nitro
gen in solid form. More liquid
nitrogen will be available in 1852
than there has been this year.
New insecticides, such as DOT
and benzene hexachloride, at first
hailed as the final solution to
many of our insect problems, are
now being looked upon as merely
milestones in a continuing fight
against insect pests. Trouble is
we are developing race of "su-
per" pests which are immune to
the effects of the new Insecticides.
Immunity has been detected in
flies, mites, bed bugs, mosquitoes
and cockroaches. Worse yet, par
ent insects transmit the developed
immunity to their offspring.
Ed Bender, garden specialist ov-
err at Md. U. says that frozen
vegetables that come out of your
freezer next winter won't be any
better than the ones you're putting
in now-so freeze top quality.
Some varieties have better freez \
ing qualities than others, he poin4
out in Fact Sheet l, published by
the University's Extension Serv-
ice. For example, Fordhook PAP,
Peerless and Triumph, are recon-
mended for freezing, while Thoro-
green and Henderson, good as
fresh produce, don't freeze as
well. Fact Sheet l lists varieties
best suited for freezing. Get it

Winners of this years "Greener

certificates from Governor Nc
keldin on September at an
awards luncheon held in Baltimore.
More than 100 community, county
and area winners were present,
along with State Champion George
c. Stauffer of Walkersville, Fred
erick County.
In winning, as you may recall,
Stauffer scored 81 points, the
highest score achieved in the pro-
grams 3-year history. In 1949
when the program started, only
&c farms entered. Last year, there
were 223 and this years enroll

gram as part of a larger grass

by the USDA in cooperation with
the Land Grant Colleges.

low these eight rules:
l. Don't check the tires. Let
them go flat. They'll shake the
engine to pieces faster that way.
2. Don't stop for fences with
combine or corn picker. Keep
going. This is a sure way to
spring the frame.
3. Don't clean the filters. Your
engine will wear out several
times as quick when the filters are
clogged.
4. Let the loose bolts alone. They
will fall out some day and then
the breakdown will not be far off.
5. Use baling wire or any piece
