mercial fertilizer at price
which is very little more than
they were paying at a time when
the country was just emerging
from its most disastrous depres-
sion. Even when the increase in
plant food content is ignored
USDA reports show that the
average price per ton of com
mercial fertilizer has increased
far less than the prices of other
commodities and services used in
farm production.
One reason for the relatively
small increase in fertilizer prices
when the prices of most other
commodities were skyrocketing
has been the tremendous expan-
sion in the use of fertilizer
Russell Coleman, MIA president
explains. Nearly five times as
much plant food was used by

1885, and total tonnage of fer
tilizer was nearly quadrupled.
The fertilizer industry was rela-
lively small in the 1905, but to-
day is one of the major segments
of the American heavy chemical
industry.
This tremendous expansion in
fertilizer use has led to vastly
improved efficiency in produc
ton and distribution, DR.. Cole
man points out. Advances in
fertilizer technology have lower
ed manufacturing costs an d
made possible the production of
better quality materials with
improved physical properties
which make storage and the job
of spreading easier and less
costly to the farmer.

To MahOmet

In recent years much has been
said and written about dairy
men who are bringing the pas
ture to their cattle, rather than
letting old bossy harvest her
own.
This idea is not new at ALL"
says University of Maryland Elk
tension dairyman John P. Diet
rich. "In fact, more than so years
ago some farmers made it a
practice to cut green forage for
cattle every day. This practice
was soon discarded because load
ing the heavy green forage on
wagons with pitchforks is back
breaking job"
The picture has been changed
by the forage harvester, which
can handle this heavy job with
ease. Today, green forage is
chopped and hauled to cattle in
dry lot, where the grass is
dumped in feed bunkers. Or it
may be fed directly from the
wagon. This practice has been in
wide use for some time in Cali
fornia and other West Coast
States where pasture irrigation
is widely practiced. The feeding
of fresh chopped grass to dairy
cattle is now finding much favor
with dairymen here in the East
This method is known as Zero
grazing" according to Dietrich.
"Some disadvantages of this
method of feeding grass that
should be considered before
adopting this practice are:
1. The forage must be clipped
at least once every day - seven
days a week.
2. This method ties up a man
and tractor for a period of
time each day. A report from
Rutgers University states that
the cutting and hauling required
2% hours each day when the
forage was chopped twice daily
for so head of cattle. Maryland
dairymen report the time re-
quired is about u hour when the
forage is cut only once daily and
fed from the wagon"
The Extension dairyman lists
these advantages of feeding dairy
cattle fresh chopped grass:

1--WE recently found a small
number of leafhoppers in Kent
County" Bissell says, $50 we
should be on guard for heavy in
festations."
The first warning a farmer
may have that leafhoppers are
present may be dwarfing and
following of leaves. Some types
of following caused by diseases
or by nutritional deficiencies are
hard to distinguish from adj
vanced stages of potato leaf
hopper injury.
Because of the small size and
green color of the insect" Bissell
points out, you cannot rely on
casual observations to determine
the seriousness of an infesta-
ton. The best method is to use
an insect-collecting net with a
15-inch opening. If you capture
an average of one leafhopper per
sweep, you have an infestation
that may damage your crop
within three weeks"
The control recommended for
leafhoppers is one quart of
methoXychlor per acre in 10 to
20 gallons of water: The time to
apply is at the first sign of injury
or when sweeping operations
show a large number of insects
are in a field.
The adult leafhopper is pale
green, wedge-shaped insect about
one-eighth inch long. 1t is very
active, jumping or flying when
disturbed. The greatest damage
done by the insect is usually to
the second cutting of alfalfa.
Leafhoppers also damage other
forage legumes, as well as
potatoes and beans.

FERTILIZER COST LAGS

While the cost of all goods and
services used in farm production
has increased by 1872 percent
since 1885, the average cost of
plant food in the form of COM
mercial fertilizer has gone up
only about II percent over the
same span of years, according to
the National Fertilizer Associa-
ton.
Official reports of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture show
that the cost per ton of CONNER
cial fertilizer increased by 81 per
cent from 1885 to 1858. In the
same period, however, the aver
age plant food content of a ton
of fertilizer also has been in
creased by nearly IS percent.
Thus the increase in the average
content of active ingredients has
largely offset the higher cost.

BAREBACK" BROILERS


Feather picking in broilers
usually becomes very widespread
in summer months, DR.. Lynn
Romoser of the University of
Maryland poultry department re
minds Maryland broiler pro
ducers.
This condition is sometimes
taken very lightly" DR.. Romoser
says, "but actually it is of great
economic Importance"
Bareback" is usually caused
by genetic factors, but the poor
feathering which is observed in
broiler flocks of rapidly feather
ing strains is sometimes due to
enVironmental factors.
DR.. Romoser says feather pick
ing can be caused by high hood
ing temperatures, low humidity,
exposure to bright light, over
crowding and problems related
to the diet.
Several things in the diet may
influence the tendency of birds
to pull feathers. "The lack of
adequate amounts of any one of
several nutrients can lead to de-
PRAYED appetites and cannibal-
ISM" according to DR.. Romoser.
Increasing the total niacin level
to IS grams per ton of feed (this
usually requires the addition of
about 20 grams per tom has
helped to alleviate the condition
in research studies. The addition
of one pound of DL-methionine
per ton of feed has also helped
to improve the feathering condi-
ton of broilers raised to 10
weeks of age during hot weather
in research at Texas A. and M.
and other experiment stations.
at has been known for several
years that the addition of Is to
90 percent of salt to the ration
and feeding for four or five days
is also effective as a temporary
treatment in reducing feather
pulling. This makes the birds
spend more time at the drinking
fountain and they have less time
for picking feathers"
Another parctice that has been
helpful in reducing picking is in
creasing the fibre content of the
ration, according to the Mary
land research worker.

Senate
CZoqkroom
Sen. j. Glenn BeaII

Maryland farmers receive "a
per cent of their total cash re-
ceipts from crops which are not
not supported by any Govern
ment price support program.
The per cent of cash farm re-
ceipts from basic commodities
enjoying Government price sup
ports is only Is per cent of the
total cash receipts of Maryland
farmers, and 8 per cent of that is
in support of tobacco-which,
for reasons peculiar to tobacco
farming, will continue to be sup
ported at 80 per cent of parity
under the Eisenhower-Ben
program.
Figures just released by the
Department of Agriculture show
that Marylanders are earning
their income by the sweat of
their broWs and not from Gov
eminent handouts. o.
The farm picture in Maryland
turns out to be as follows:
1. "a per cent of total cash re-
ceipts are from unsupported
commodities and dairy products.
2. SO per cent of total cash re-
ceipts are from meat animals,
and dairy and poultry products
for which price supported feeds
are an element of cost.
3. So per cent of total cash re-
ceipts are from unsupported
commodities, which includes
meat animals, poultry and eggs,
fruits and other crops.
4. 8 per cent of total cash re-
ceipts are from basic commodi-
ties, other than tobacco, which
are supported under the Govern
ment parity program.
An interesting revelation from
the figures is that the cash re-
ceipts from basic farm commo-
dities supported by the Federal
Government is only a minor part
of the Maryland agricultural
economy, and that the income
from these basic price support
commodities is concentrated in
nine southern states, one mid
west state (Kansas), and two
northern states North Dakota
and Montana.
The farm program worked out
by President Eisenhower and
Secretary Benson is not a cure
all, and, as Secretary Benson has
said, There is no such medicine,
but it (the Benson program) does
offer real promise of starting
the patient on the road to re-
covery"
The argument against the flex-
ible support program, which is
