The survey was conducted by

assistance of county agents. They
examined total of 25 grain bins
in five counties which represent

Grain destroying insects were
found in corn, wheat, barley and
oats stored on the farms.
The most serious pest found
was the Angoumois grain moth

Tricky Twist to
Tomato Trellising

Most home gardeners prefer to
tie their tomato plants to stakes
or to trelliS them in such way
that they conserve space in the
garden and keep vines and toma-
toes up off the ground.
Tests carried on over the past
four years have shown that to-
mato plants trellised in special
way will bear heavily until frost.
IN some cases a single plant pro
duced as much as 60 pounds of
tomatoes and 25 plants produced
more than three-fourths of a ton
Of fruit.
Basically, the new trellising
method amounts to keeping each
plant inside a wire cylinder 2 feet
across and 5 feet tall. The result
is a column of vine growth held
in place and supported by wire
cylinder. Wire with 6-inch mesh
is best because it makes it easy
to reach in and pick the toma-
toes. Concrete reinforcing wire is

stakes around the cylinders will

preliminary figures for 1855
show the trend of increasing pro-

This high output per cow is off

dairy farmers had about / per-
cent fewer milk COWS going into
1855 than they had at the begin

The Maryland average last
year was 800 pounds per cow,
the same as the record establish
ed in 1858, and 1873 pounds above
the national average. This rec
ord may be broken in 1855, if
recent reports can be taken as an
indication. Production of milk per
cow on April l in herds of crop
reporters averaged 1919 pounds,
D percent more than a year earl
Ter, and a record high average for
April l. On May l, milk produc-
ton per cow in reporters herds
averaged 21.5 pounds, surprising
the record for that date of 21
pounds which was set in 1852
and 1854.
Milk production normally
reaches an annual peak in late
spring and early summer months.
June Dairy Month is observed
during this peak period, which
means the observation has signl-
ficance for consumers as we'll as
producers. Milk is always a good
food buy during this period, as
production rises to the years
peak, and retail prices dip to
their annual low points.

widely used by Maryland beef
cattle producers as a grass sill
age preservative. Good results
have convinced most producers it
is an effective preventative
Recently however, there has
been interest in sodium bisulfite,
a chemical preservative, Sodium
bisulfite has the apparent adj
Vantages of being cheaper and
easier to use. But because the
chemical preservatiVe is a com
Iaratively new development beef
cattle producers haven't had
enough experience with it to
know how effective it is.
The question is often asked:
How do these two methods com
pare?"
SO far as the actual preserving
qualities of the two materials is
concerned, there appears to be
little difference. They both do
a good job of preserving grass
silage that is palatable and high
ly nutritious.
Boyd T. Whittle, University of
Maryland Extension livestock
specialist, says sodium bisulfite
and copy, npd ooh Y,,na1 Ala about
AN equally good job of preserv-
ing silage in a test conducted at
Purdue University.
Calves weighing about 500
pounds were fed for 100 days dur
ing a winter feeding period in
this test. Grass silage preserved
with pounds of sodium biSulfite
and 100 pounds of ground corn
cobs per ton of green chopped
material was fed to one group.
A similar group got grass sill
age preserved with 100 pounds
of ground corn and 100 pounds
of ground cobs.
Both groups received silage
made from the same crop, which
consisted roughly of IS percent
alfalfa, 10 percent ladino clover,
10 percent timothy and 5 percent
bronze. Ground cobs were needed
to absorb excess moisture in the
chopped material used in this
particular test, because it was
put into the silo without willing.
Calves in each lot consumed
about the same amount of Silage
per day. Whittle says. THE av-
eraged just under 40 pounds per
head. Calves fed silage preserved
with sodium bisulfite and ground
cobs gained a pound per head
daily at a cost of 10 cents per
pound of gain. Calves fed silage
preserved with ground corn and
cobs gained Ia pounds per head
daily and the cost of gain was
about the same as for the chem.
ically preserved silage.
According to this test, silage
preserved with corn and cobs
gives one-fourth of a pound daily
gain. This is an advantage if
the producer wants a faster rate
of gain. The corn, of course, ac-
counts for the faster rate of gain.
1t was figured that each steer
consumed an equivalent 2 1/3
pounds of corn per day from the
silage in which the shelled corn
and cobs were used as a preser-
vatiVe."
The Purdue researchers also
wanted to learn more about the
feeding value of grass silage pre-
pared with no preservative. so
they compared gains made by
one group of calves fed silage
with no preservative with another
group which received the same
silage, but i'm addition received
about 2 1/3 pound of shelled corn
Calves gained only one-third OF
a pound per day on the silage
alone. Gains averaged liz pounds
daily in the group that was fed
silage plus corn.

In place Of the fiat $20-per-
person tax cut which House
Democrats squeezed through by
a narrow margin, the Senate
Democratic Policy Committee is
now proposing a $40 deduction
for each taxpayer. but not for
a spouse. plus a $40 cut for each
child or other dependant.
This boils down to a $10-per-
person cut for some. but not all.
families. The substitute states
that these credits will be effec-
tive only to the extent that the
credit exceeds any advantage
obtained by income-splitting
benefits.
Help for Small Taxpayers.
A spokesman for the authors
said this means that married
couples who file joint returns
and get the benefit of the split
income rule in existing law, will
not share in these new tax
credits. Since it is generally
estimated that income splitting
begins to prove beneficial above
the $4,000 income bracket, this
plan is designed to help tax
payers below that wage level.
To overcome the argument of
the Eisenhower administration
that the Treasury cannot stand
individual tax cuts now, with the
budget still out of balance,
the Democratic substitute also
would:
/. Extend corporation and ex-
else tax rates at the present level
to July /, 1857, instead of for
only one year, as recommended
by the President.
2. Repeal Immediately the ac-
celerated depreciation plan of
1854, which allows corporations
to charge off more of the cost
of buildings or equipment in the
early years and less later on.
3 Repeal as of July /, 1855,
the 1854 provision allowing in
dividuals to exclude from income
tax the first $50 of dividend in
come, and to claim a tax credit
of 2 per cent on the remainder
of such income last year.
4. Repeal a so-called loop
hole in last years general tax
revision, which permits estab-
lishment of reserves for future
business expenses and their
charge-off against current in
come.
