Conservation Loans
Available Under FILA

, Special loans for soil and water
conservation are now available to
farmers through the Farmers
home Administration, an agency
of the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture.
This new loan program was
made possible through action of
the last session of Congress.
Fred L. Bull, University of
Maryland Extension soil conserva.
zionist, says the program is de-
signed to help farmers who are
unable to obtain credit on reason
able terms from private or CO.
operative sources for improve
ment, protectio nand proper use
of their farmland.
The loans are also expected to
help farmers make good use of
land diverted from surplus crops
and, in general, to improve their
economic circumstances.
Loans may be used to pay the
cash costs of making improve
ments directly related to soil con-
servation; water development,
conservation, and use; foresta-
ton; drainage of farmland; and
other related measures. This in
cludes such improvements as con-
struction and repair of terraces,
ponds, bitches for drainage, water
ways and erosion control struc-
lures.
1t also includes sodding, sub.
soiling, pasture improvement,
brush removal, land leveling,
basic application of lime and fer
tilizer, fencing, tree planting, well
digging and the purchasing of
pumps or other irrigation equip
ment. The practices to be carried
out must accord with recommen-
dations of the Extension Service
or the Soil Conservation Service.

There's Still Time
To Sow Cover Crop

It's still not too late to sow a
cover crop in the garden.
DR.. Edgar p. Walls, retired pro-
fessor in the University of Mary
land department of horticulture,
says wheat, barley or rye will
make a cover crop if sown now.
Il prefer rye" DR.. Walls adds.
1T can be sown up to Thanksgiv-
ing, and generally makes abun-
dant growth even on poor land.
Rye makes spring growth earlier
than wheat or barley, which are
rather slow in starting growth in
the spring"
Little seeded preparation is
needed for rye. DR.. Walls points
out that spading would help, but
may not be necessary. 1.-THE wheel
hoe will generally get the ground
in shape" he says. Then l
would broadcast about three
pounds of sos fertilizer per 1000
square feet and rake it in well,
Next, broadcast the seed by hand
and rake it in lightly. About 2
to 2is pounds of seed per 1000
square feet should give a good
stand"
DR.. Walls lists three reasons for
sowing a cover crop: % 1t gives
some growth to turn under next
spring, and thus will increase the
organic matter content of the soil.
(2) Soluble fertilizer materials in
the soil will be taken up by the
roots and built into plant tissues,
so they cannot get away. With
out a cover crop. these fertilizer
materials may be lost by washing
or teaching. 81 Prevents soil ero.
sion.
Once the cover crop is estab-
lished, the next step is to turn it
under next spring. The crop
should not be over knee high

University Takes
Dairy Products Prize

The University of Maryland
dairy products judging team won
first place in the Southern Dairy
Products Judging Contest held re-
Gently at Blacksburg, Va.
Ten teams from Southern States
agricultural colleges competed in
the contest. Each team was COM
posed of three members who
judged ice cream, butter, milk and
cheese.
Members of the Maryland team
were Fred Heffner, Saxton, Pa. !;
Conrad Hemphill, College Park;
and David Kuhn, Baltimore. Rob-
ert Nicod@mus, Frederick, was the
alternate judge. The team is
coached by Jack Conrad and DR..
Wendell S. Arbuckle of the dairy
department.
The Maryland team compiled
its winning margin by taking first
places in judging ice cream and
butter, second in milk and fifth in
cheese.
Heffner and Hemphill tied for
high individual in judging all
products, Hemphill was first in
butter, Heffner was first in ice
cream and Kuhn was second in
butter.
Coach Arbuckle says a long
training period is required for
judges to learn the skills and
techniques required to evaluate
the quality of dairy products.
Many of the indications of poor
quality can be detected only by
well trained judge; they are i'm
possible to detect by chemical
tests.

State Banks GiUen A1Unrd
For Service to Farmers

The banks of Maryland were
honored recently for their out
standing service to the states
farmers when the Maryland
Bankers Association was present
ed with the hotpoint rating
award of the Agricultural Com
mission of the American Bankers
Association.
The 1000-point rating award is
presented each year to the state
bankers association of those
states whose banks have been of
notable service to agriculture
during the preceding year, both
through high quality of regular
banking service to farmers and
special activities conducted in the
agricultural field. This is the
eleventh consecutive year that
the states banks have received
the award, indicating the con-
tinuous nature of the bank pro-
gram in agriculture.
In presenting the award, Jesse
w. Tapp, chairman of the Com
mission and vice chairman of the
board, Bank of America N. T. &
