County Farmers Find Many
Aids in State Ag Research

Recent advances in dairying,
animal husbandry and forage
production all subjects of keen
interest to Montgomery County
farmers - highlight the report
which was released this week on
the activities of the University
of Maryland Agricultural Expert
ment Station on over 100 research
projects during the past year.
The report, found in the Uni
verSity's bulletin ABB, leads off
with a warning to the effect that
Maryland farmers have been
caught in a terrific cost-price
squeeze as a result of falling
prices and rigid COSTS"
The trend which has led to the
cost-prize squeeze began prior to
the Korean war, the Agricultural
Economics section of the report
finds, but it has become acute in
recent months. According to the
survey, Maryland farmers are
paying about 275 percent over
the 1904 level for the commodi-
ties they buy, while they are re-
ceiVing about 225 percent more
than the base period for the pro-
ducts they sell.
A study is underway to develop
detailed background data on both
sides of the ledger leading to a
more specific cost-price relation
ship for Maryland.
Cold-wall milk tanks are effec-
lively saving both labor and milk,
according to a survey made of SO
fluid milk producers supplying
the Washington market. The
only apparent disadvantageto the
sold-wall tank method is the
initial investment of from $500
Pto $1,000 per farm, according to
the researchers. They reported
that no difficulties have yet been
experienced with Off-odOrS or
flaVOrS.
Support for the use of heated
air in hay drying was also given
by the report which found that
"when hay is dried faster with
heat a higher quality hay is
generally made due to a much

WHEAT BUYERS

Mr.. L. C. Burns, Chairman OF
the Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation Committee of Mont
gomery County. announces an
important meeting to instruct
all buyers of wheat on the re-
sponsibilities applicable to each
under the Marketing Quota Pro-
gram. This meeting will be held
June "a at 10 am. in the Agri-
cultural Sterilization and Conser-
walton office, Main Floor, Old
Court House Building, Rockville.

ton ponds because they often
clog the equipment. The same
may be true where water is
piped from the pond for water
ing livestock. The pipes and
valvestock. The pipes and valves
may become clogged with the
plant material.
Zone of the most Objectionable
weeds in the pond is the filamen-
tous algae often called pond
scum or frog spit says Charles
P. Ellington, University of Mary
land assistant Extension soil
conservationist. at is also one
of the more difficult to control.
In a bulletin recently released
by the Cornell Extension Serv-
ice, the use of copper sulfate is
recommended to control the
scum. Before applying. the mate
rial it is necessary to calculate
the amount of water in the pond
and then treat with not more
than one-half pound of copper
sulfate for every million pounds
of water in the pond. Higher
concentrations will kill the fish. y
Copper sulfate may be dis
solved in water and sprayed on
the pond. Repeated applications
may be necessary to bring the
algae under control.
Another type of pond weed,
commonly found in Maryland,
includes those weeds that are
rooted on the bottom but have
leaves on or above the surface
of the water. Cattails and lilies
are in this group. Often times
hand pulling of the weeds is the
best control, but they may also
be controlled with 2, AID mixed
with water or kerosene. Concen.
trations of 5 to 10 percent are
recommended.
Some plants are rooted to the
bottom and grow entirely below
the surface of the water. These
are third type of pond weeds.
They may be controlled with
applications of sodium arsenite.
Concentrations of 3 to 4 pounds

higher percentage of digestible
nutrients. However, a farmer
should produce at least 100 tons
of dry hay each season to justify
the additional expense required to
dry with heat.
Research to determine the
pounds of beef per acre that can
be obtained from various pasture
mixtures resulted in the finding
that tall feScue-ladino clover and
the orchard grass ladino-clover
mixture produces the most beef
per acre. Throughout the period
of the experiment, it was found
that the animals gained much
more rapidly during the spring
of the year than during late
summer and early fall. Studies
are now going on to determine
the ways in which pure stands of
Korean leZpedeZa, common pearl
mullet, and sweet sudan grass
can be used to increase the gains
during summer.
Tests on the most promising
forage varieties resulted in a
clear-cut victory for the southern
varieties of broomegraSS, Com
mercial and Early Synthetic
among the orchard grasses, and
Williamsburg among the alfalfas.
Another series of experiments
established the value of highly
purified preparation Of a hor-
more from the pituitary gland
(Armour GROWTH in increasing
the milk production of cows in
late lactation by so percent.
Blood chemistry data, however,
failed to reveal any definite
clues as to the mode of action
of the growth hormore in increaS-
ing the milk production.
Good news for Montgomery
County gardeners, who are now
facing a new series of attacks by
the Jap beetle, was found in the
report on new insecticides that
have been developed for the con-
troll of the pest.
Dilan was found to be highly
effective with d very fast rate
of knock-down" and residual de-
posts that continued to be effec-
tive until seven days after
spraying. Malathon also gave
IAN outstanding performance"
with 100 percent kills being OBJ
tanned in sprays containing from
1 to 3 pounds of the actual
chemical in 100 gallons of water.
Favorable results were also
reported for EPN 300 and NPD
as well as the insecticide Meta
eide.

Urges CLEAN PONDS

A pond with clean, clear water
is an asset to any farm. But a
farm pond that is filled with
weeds and scum may only be an
eyesore and a disappointment.
When ponds become clogged
with weeds swimming is un-
pleasant and livestock do not
favor drinking the water. Weeds
also present a problem in irriga-

Sodium asenite is, of course,
a deadly poison and must be
handled with extreme caution at
all times" Ellington adds.
"Where the pond is highly in
tested with weeds it may be de-
sirable to spray only one section
at a time" the soil conserva-
ZIONIST explains.
"The decay of the weeds may
cause shortage of oxygen in the
water resulting in injury to the
fish population"
Most of Government holdings
of wheat in Baltimore terminals
have been sold and are now be-
ing moved out to make room for
loan wheat of the 1854 crop.
Storage situation for this year
now looks much brighter than it
did a few weeks back.
Government authorized sale of
farm-stored garlicky wheat taken
over as of April 80 at same
figure as loan rate for 1858 corn.
Action was taken because wheat
showing garlick is actually only
used as feed. Later revision of
offer lowers price to IS cents be-
low loan rate for corn.
Wheat allotments for 1855 are
now being set up by county COM
mitteeS. A referendum on quotas
for 1855 will be held sometime
this summer, probably in late
July. Watch for further an

"Cross.compliance' is being talk

WASHINGTON d C., May i
(JACL)-Senate approval of over
$1,000 900 was MADE TO pay evacua-
ton claims awards in the passage
of the Third Supplemental Appro-
priations Bill OF 1854, the Washing

League reported today
The measure now goes back to

cause the Senate made several mi
nor changes over the original

ment to holders of awards made I'M
der compromise procedures and o.
Their evacuation claims awards un-
der $500 made through the regular
adjudicative method However, the
Washing ton JACL office noted that
practically all of these are compro-
mise awards under $500.
The 81 100000 is for payment of
these awards and does not include
any costs of administering the
JACL-sponsored evacuation claims
program. said Mike Masaoka, Wa
Shington JACL representative If
we are successful in retaining the
full SIS million in this appropria-
ton measure, it is expected to be
sufficient to pay all compromise "a
wards made and those which will be
made before June 30, 1854" he con-
cluded
Appropriations to pay 81 $50, 600
in evacuation claims awards were
not changed in either congressional
body, but the new changes on other
matters made in the Senate now re-
quire House approval Of the Senate
bill
If the House of Representatives
accepts the Senate changes in this
appropriation measure, the bill
would go directly to the President
for signature. On the other hand
explained the Washington JACL
office, if the House passes a bill
different from the Senate version
a conference committee between
the two legislative bodies would be
necessitated. Then the conference
version must be passed
in both houses before it could go to
