figured for all farms with the
acreage for 1850, 1851, 1852, 1853
and 1854 averaged to determine
the preliminary allotment. Then
the average for 1852, 1853 and
1854 will be determined. If the
three year average differs from
the five year average by 10 per
cent or more the three year aver.
age will be used for the pre-
lininary allotment instead of the
five year average. This is being
done to correct allotment figures
to allow for individual farm
trends both up and down.
Refiguring the allotments for
1855 is expected to eliminate
most of the injustices present in
the old allotmentS due to continu-
ing the old allotments from year
to year, provided no major differ
ences occurred in planted acre
ages. Three of the five years
of base history will be measured
acreages; these will be 1851, 1853
and 1854.

Tobacco

Tobacco markets opened May 4
with prices running better than
10 cents per pound above 1858
and the volume and quality of
tobacco also running above last
year. Strengthening of the mar
ketS by the government support
program is credited with contri-
buting materially to the increased
average prices.
Price support on Maryland
tobacco in addition to being
offered on the ten auction floors
in Southern Maryland is also
available in Baltimore on the
hogshead market. Producers
shipping to Baltimore, who want
to avail themselves of the sup
port program, should indicate
this to the Baltimore receiver at
tim of shipment.
Efforts will be made to meas
ure the 1854 crop of Maryland
tobacco. This is in line with re-
concentrations of the Tobacco
Industry Advisory Committee in
Southern Maryland who feel that
we must have as accurate re-
cords of planted acreage as pos
sible if we are to establish proper
allotmentS.
Allotments for 1855 will be re.

Flight speed, 85 it., per sec.,

MANAGEMENT: Food largely in
furious insects during summer;
weed seeds in winter. Thrives best
where there is a we'll distributed
pattern of rather dense cover
throughout the crop land areas.
Border or edge paintings of the
shrub lespedeza, the sericea, and
the annual lespedeza provide both
food and cover when planted in
narrow strips. Winter food patch
paintings of soybeans, cowpeas,
millet, milo, and kaffir corn are
effective providing nearby areas of
good cover are present. Marrow
strips of grain left standing along
the woods edges at harvest time
will do much to carry the birds
through the wintertime.
VALUE: A favorite game bird;
perhaps nd other wild bird to which
Maryland people are more indebt-
ed; delights in the farm; friend
and companion of man; destroyer
of weeds and injurious insects.

The international Farm Youth
Exchange is project for work
with farm families in other coun-
tries from four to six months.
In return farm youths from CO.
operating countries come to the
United States to live and work on
farms here.
Begun in 1913, the exchange
was carried with only a few
European countries, but now in
cludes countries in Latin
America, the Near and Far East,
South Pacific, Africa and Asia.
The project is dedicated to the
belief that understanding is the
foundation of world peace. BY
giving farm youth an opportunity
to learn another way of life by
living it, the project helps rural
young people to understand the
problems and attitudes of rural
people. in other parts of the
world.
The IFYE program in the
United States is conducted by the
National All Club Foundation
and the Cooperative Extension
Service of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture and the Land

are the Department of State, the
Foreign Agricultural Service,
USDA and others.
This year around 125 U. S. dele
gates will go abroad while nearly
140 Exchanges from other coun-
tries will come to the United
States. Since the porject's begin
ming, 1896 delegates from the
United States have participated
and 346 farm youths have come
to this country as IFYE eX-
changes.

"Garlicky" Wheat

The U. S. Department of Agri-
culture has offered to sell, for
feed use only, approximately
three million bushels of 1953-crop
"garlicky" wheat stored on farms
and in country warehouses in 16
Eastern and Southern States on
bid basis but not less than the
1853 support price for corn at
the location where the wheat is
stored, according to George ].
Martin, chairman of the AgricuI-
tural Sterilization and Conserva-
ton State Committee.
With total U. S. supplies of
wheat extremely large, the de-
mand is small for this quality of
wheat. In addition, storage space
for this years crops is limited in
the area and the USDA is being
urged to move the wheat to open
more space for the new crop.
This action will avoid the need
for this movement and eliminate
the payment of transportation

charges that would be involved.
The disposal of this wheat now
would also avoid retaining for an
indefinite period wheat of this
quality for which there are only
limited market outlets.
The wheat being offered for
sale is located on farms where
it has been under 1953-crop sup
port loans prior to April 30, 1854,
or in local public warehouses
where producers have stored it
under loan or delivered it under
the 1853 wheat price support pro-
gram.
Purchasers may submit bids on
the farm-stored wheat to County
Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation offices and on ware
house-stored wheat to Commodity
Sterilization Service Commodity
Offices located in Dallas, Kansas
City, Mo-, and Chicago. Details
concerning this program may be
obtained at State and County
Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation Offices located in
the 16-State area, which include
Maryland.
USDA officials emphasized
that the wheat purchased under
this program must be used only
for feed purposes, and each buyer
will be required to certify that
the wheat will be used only for
livestock or poultry feeding.
