Nitrogen for Soil

Maryland farmers are increas-
ingly using new gas method of
adding nitrogen to their soil to
raise the protein content and
yields of their crops, according
to the Committee for Conserva-
ton Now.
This new development in scien-
tific farming is the application of
anhydrous ammonia, a high nj
trogen content liquid which turns
into gas when it is injected into
the soil. Nitrogen in this form
has been available for agriculture
al use only since World War II.
More than one-third of the nj
trogen applied to the soil in the
country is now in the form of
anhydrous ammonia, the fertilizer
industry estimates. 1t is most
widely used in the midwest.
The University of Maryland
College of Agriculture has re-
ported that in large scale opera
tons the cost per unit of anhy-
drous ammonia is usually less
than that of nitrogen materials.
In smaller operations or on
custom basis, the cost is usually
comparable to that of solid nj
trogen.
The College also says that best
response can be expected from
nitrogen on soils of low fertility
and low organic matter. It is
most effective when no legume
or manure is plowed under, when
only grass sod or straw mulch
is plowed under, when little fer
tilizer has been used, when the

Grainary Ideas

It's hard enough to keep grain
stored on the farm from spoil.
ing even if all the recommended
storage practices are followed
And if a farmer ignores the re-
concentrations, he is inviting
trouble.
I'm order to be reasonably sure
that grain does not deteriorate
or become contaminated during
storage a farmer must take pre-
cautions against high moisture
insects, rodents and birds. And
of course this means that the
storage structure must be solid
and tight" says T. L. Bissell, Uni
versity of Maryland Extension
entomologiSt.
Insects live from season to sea.
son around farm buildings in
spilled grain, in feed and in bits
of grain left in wagons and ma.
chinery, Bissell explains. Clean
ing up these places helps control
not only insects but also rats and
mice"
Bins should be made ready for
this years crop with a thorough
cleaning and disinfecting, Bissell
continues. Remove old grain and
sweep down the ceilings and
walls and sweep the floor. There
are probably some insects in the
cracks where they are out OF
reach of broom, so destroy them
with an insecticide. Prepare a
spray containing 2.5 percent OF
DOT, methoxychlor, or TIDE
Sprays containing O.5 percent OF
pyrethrins or allethrin are also
effective.
BUY one of these insecticides
in the form of wettable powder
or emulsifiable concentrate and
mix it with the amount of water
recommended on the label"
Granary pests like moisture
with their grain, so it is recon.
mended that grain be stored when
it is dry. And it is well to re.
member that the more moisture
there is at storage, the closer il
must be watched.
After grain is placed in the
bin it should be fumigated for
protection against insects. "Ask
your county agent for u. S. De
partment of Agriculture Leaflet
No. 345," Bissell urges. "This
leaflet gives recommendations on
chemical protection and other
storage recommendations"

On the Farm

Maryland's All dairy cattle
judging team sailed Tuesday
from Quebec to represent the
United States at the international
contest in England.
From July 5 to Z, the four
boys on the team will take part
in the Royal Agricultural Society
Show.
After the judging contest, the
team will tour parts of Europe
and return home by air on July
&c.
Montgomery County is not rep
resented on this years winning
team, but it had led the way in
past years.
Seven previous Maryland teams
in 1922, 1923, 1926, 1881, 1913,
1850 and 1951-haVe won the Uni
ted States contest and four teams
came home world champions.
Members of the 1851 world
champions included Barbara
Riggs of Gaithersburg and jan
ice Palmer of Olney.

soil has plenty of moisture, and
for non-legume crops.
The Committee for Conserva-
ton Now added that practices
which save soil, fertility and
moisture are needed before ap-
plication of fertilizer in order to
get most efficient results.
Anhydrous ammonia is applied
with special applicator consist,
ing of a tank with pipes behind
blades extending five to six inch
es into the ground. Applicators
are mounted on or are pulled by
tractors.
The more common method of
applying nitrogen is spreading a
solid form as a side dressing or
along with other fertilizers over
the surface of the ground. 1t al
so is added by turning under
grasses and legumes and by the
roots of legumes.
The amount of nitrogen in the
soil directly affects the protein
value of plants, according to
chemists. Nitrogen also increases
crop yields.
Advice and assistance on the
use of fertilizers, including anhy.
drous ammonia, are available
from county agents.

dormancy in the spring the bac-
terra resume activity. Finally,
the bacterial ooze is forced to
the surface of the bark and or
ganisims are carried to blossoms
by insects and rain"
Succulent shoots, known as
suckers or water sprouts, are
ideal places for the bacteria to
enter the trees and produce cank-
ers. ut is important to remove
these succulent shoots before in
lection spreads into the main
limbs and trunk of the tree" &C.
cording to DR.. Weaver. That's
about all that can be done at this
season of the year, but where
blight is present it is important
to apply other controls during
the dormant season and next
spring.
"The succulent shoots may be
rubbed off with pair of leath-
er gloves before they become
woody and before the blight
spreads to the main limb. Do not
cut out this diseased growth in
apples during the growing sea-
son. Sterilized tools may be used
to cut out diseased shoots on
pears to prevent further spread
and loss.
Control measures other than
removal of shoots consist of cul-
tural practices, use of resistant
varieties, eradication of sources
of infection and application of
spray materials in blossom per-
iod.
Any cultural system which
does not promote excessive
growth helps to make a tree
more resistant to the disease. Sod
culture and use of limited amour
of heterogeneous fertilizer are re-
commended for susceptible varie-
ties and young trees.
CankerS should be eradicated
during the dormant-season, and
special attention must be given
to the removal of cankerS from
the main limbs and the trunk of
the tree. Cankers on branches
smaller than one-half inch in di-
ameter usually do not carry the
bacteria over winter.
Spraying is recommended to
control blossom blight. Two
sprays are recommended, one
when the blossoms are 25 per-
cent open and another when bios
SONS are rs percent open.
DR.. Weaver suggests that any
one having blight infected trees
see their county agent for COM
plete details on cultural and
chemical controls and for recon-
mendations on resistant varieties.

Corn CarryOver

Based on developments through
the first half of the marketing
year, the corn carryover next o.
tober 1 is expected to total about
$50 million bushels, the Depart
ment of Agriculture has reported.
This would be 1S1 million BUSH
els larger than in 1858 and more
than 100 million bushels above
the record of 1850. Except for
working stocks of around $50 to
200 million bushels, practically all
of the carryover is expected to
be under loan or owned by the
Commodity Credit Corporation.
Total disappearance of corn
during the 1953-54 season is now
expected to be about 3 billion
bushels, or about the same as in
1928. Domestic utilization may
be a little larger than last year,
principally because of an expect
ed increase in the quantity fed

Orchard Blight

Fire blight is causing serious
damage in Maryland apple and
pear orchards, and the diseased
orchards may be infected again
next summer unless the owners
undertake a planned control pro-
gram.
DR.. L. o. Weaver, University
of Maryland plant pathologist,
says pears are more susceptible
to fire blight than apples and
that apple varieties vary in sus-
ceptibility. Severe blossom
blight and twig blight has been
found this spring on York, Sum-
mer Rambo and Cellow Trans
parent varieties of apples" he
points out. blight is also found
in Jonathan and Stayman or
chards."
The pathologist explains that
symptoms of fire blight may be
in evidence in infected orchards
throughout the year. Usually
the first evidence of infection in
the spring is blossom blight. The
flowers wilt and turn dark.
Following blossom infection,
willing and browning may occur
on terminal growth on the out
side of the tree, on water sprouts
in the tree and on shoots at the
base of the tree. Spread of the
disease from the blossoms is &C.
complished by washing of the
bacteria from diseased blossoms
and leaves. Dead leaves remain
attached long after the death of
the twigs."
Symptoms of the disease may
also be visible in the form of
fruit blight. DR.. Weaver says the
symptom is a brownish-colored
rot of green immature fruit.
This symptom follows blossom
blight; ripe fruit are not suscep-
tible."
Later in the season cankers
may occur on small or arge
limbs, trunk, and possibly the
roots of the tree. DR.. Weaver ex-
plains that "cankers usually show
up around the base of a blighted
spur or shoot. The center of the
canker dries cut, shrinks and be-
comes slightly sunken and is dis
colored.
'The bacteria over-winter in
cankers and when the tree breaks

livestock. Corn exports, however,
may total only about 100 million
bushels, compared with 40 mil
lion in 1928.
Stocks of corn on April 1 to-
tailed 1888 million bushels, the
largest on record for that date.
Farm stocks totaled 1859 million
bushels, only 16 million bushels
larger than on April 1 last year.
Most of the increase in total
stocks from a year earlier was
in off-farm positions.

PLANT FACTORIES SPEEDY

OTTAWA -(P)- The National
Research Council SAYS plant life
is miles ahead of man when it
comes to manufacturing processes.
Two of the councils scientists
found that plants can change air
into wood in less than 10 seconds.
In this period carbon dioxide be-
comes solid cellulose, the material
which forms the framework or
skeleton of most plants.
DR.. Paul M. Laughton and DR.. D.
c. Mortimer, of the plant physiology
section of NRC, exposed sugar beet
leaves to small amounts of carbon
diOxide under a bright light.
The carbon dioxide was first made
radioactive so it could be identified
when it got inside the plant. The
leaves were allowed to absorb the
gas for varying periods and then
were killed in boiling water.
Radioactive cellulOse was found
in the leaves even though they
had absorbed the gas for only 10
seconds.
'This cellulose must have been
made from the radioactive gas"
the council said. ut follows that
the plant can make these extreme
ly complex changes, from air to
wood, in less than 10 seconds"

PRICES ARE DOWN SLIGHTLY AS THF
NEW YEAR BEGINS

The Consumer Price Index dropped for
the first time in eight months The Labor
Departments Bureau of Labor Statistics
announced that the index from Oct. Is to
Nov. 10 dropped from 1854 to 115 (the 1947-
40 average equals 1907. The figure is O.6 per
cent above year ago, and 10 per cent above
the pre-KOrean level of June 1850. A decline
in food prices was primarily responsible for
the November downturn as compared with
previous months.
What significance the price dip may have
for the economy in general was uncertain
Economists for several months have been
eying a number of potential favorable and
unfavOrable elements to try to determine
which way the economic wind may blow in
1854. Among the favorable elements are the
fact that employment is holding fairly firm
at close to an all-time high; the 10 per cent
reduction in personal income taxes and eX-
plratlOn Of the excess profits tax Jan. 1 which
is expected to stimulate investment and
buying; and continued heavy Government
expenditures, despite cutbacks. On the debit
side are the decline in farm prices and income
over the past several months, and soft spots
in number of industries, including textiles
and automobiles. Some economists say they
see clear signs of recession ahead in their
final assessment Of the various economic in
dicatOrs. On the other hand, there were wide
spread prediction a year ago that a recession
was due in 1858. 1t never came.
