See Cut Back in
Turkey Production

Maryland turkey producers
plan on raising 10 percent fewer
birds in 1855 than they raised ir
1854, according to an Agricultural
Marketing Service report which is
based on growers intentions as
of Jan. 1.
Most of this reduction will be
accounted for by raising fewer
Of the light breed birds, such as
Beltsville. Current intentions call
for l percent fewer heavy breed
turkeys and "a percent fewer
light breeds.
Maryland farmers raised 203,
600 light breed turkeys last year
and 100000 heavy breed turkeys
If growers stick to their intened
cut-back, they will produce 1885,.
900 light breed turkeys and 301,
900 heavy breed turkeys in 1855.
Delaware turkey growers plan
an even sharper cut-back than
Maryland growers, but unlike
Maryland, the heavy breed turk.
eys are the ones being reduced
most sharply. According to Jan.
intentions, Delaware growers will
have 25 percent fewer turkeys
thar they raised in 1854.
National turkey production is
also expected to be down from
last year, with growers in all
parts of the country except the
North Control States planning re
auctions. Growers across the
country indicate they will raise
about the same number of heavy
breed turkeys as last year. A cut
back of II percent in the number
of light breeds account for the
overall decrease of 4 percent.
The ANS report, issued by the
Observation-Disclosures Crop Report

sity of Maryland, says growers

.Sheepmen May Qualify for US.
Payments on Wool by Retaining
Possession Until After April l

Wool sheared after Jan. l, 1855,
and sold after April /, 1855, will
be eligible for the new wool in
centive payments provided for in
the National Wool Act of 1854.
This reminder for Maryland
wool producers comes from Amos
R. Meyer, University of Mary.
land marketing specialist. "Wool
producers who shear their sheep
between January l and April !
this year and who want their
wool to be eligible for incentive
payments should be careful to re-
tain ownership of the wool until
after April L." he adds.
The vol may be stored in a
commercial warehouse or con-
signed for future sale, but the
owner will need to retain title
during this period if the wool is
to be eligible for payments.
Under the National Wood Act
/ of 1854, the Secretary of Agricult-
ure has announced an incentive
price of 62 cents per pound for
shorn wool, grease basis, for the
1855 marketing year. Payments
will be made to producers if the
national average price received
by all producers of wool falls be-
low the incentive price.
Each producer should sell his
wool for the best possible price, "
Meyer stresses, because incent-
i've payments will be calculated as
a percentage of the individual
producers net sales proceeds.
For example, if the incentive
price is 20 puercent above the ma
tional average price of wool sold
this year, the payment made to
each eligible producer will be 20
percent of his own net sales pro-
ceeds for wool.
1t will not be based on the diff
ference between his own price
and the incentive price. In other
words, the more producer gets
for his wool, the larger will be
his incentive payment.

Sometimes, it is impossible to
keep soil in this PHI range, and
in these cases it is recommended
that growers use varieties of po-
tatoes with resistance to scab.
'But don't use new varieties
which are supposed to be scab re-
sistant until they have been test
ed and grown under local condi-
tons to test their adaptability,"
Dr. Weaver cautions.
Three scab-resistant varieties
did well in Extension demonStra-
tons on the lower Eastern Shore
in 1854. They were Menominee
Ontario and Cherokee. In these
tests Menominee and Ontario
were later in maturity than Irish
Cobbler 1t was also found that
Menominee is rough skinned

Two varieties nearly as early as
Cobbler are Pungo and Cherokee.
Both have resistance to scab as

beans and peas are the big
Four" in the Maryland vegetable
industry. The outlook for these
crops is:
Tomatoes: The total canned
supply is slightly less than at
this time last year, and as a re-
suit prices have remained firm.
National supplies should be well
cleaned out before the new season
begins, and with these conditions
there probably will be an attempt
to increase tomato acreage in
1855. There has been some reduc-
ton in tomato canning operations
in Maryland, so growers in this
State may not increase in proper
ton to the expected national in
crease. More tomato juice will
probably be canned in the US. in
1855 than in 1854. Harvested
acreage in Maryland last year
was 1860 a reduction of 5000
acreaS from 1853.
Sweet Corn: Gamers are now
working of fthe largest national
supply 1883 carryover plus 1854
pack in history. National acreage
last year was 10 percent below
1858, but production was about
equal for the two years because
of the very good yields in the
Midwest in 1854. Prices on the big
supply are relatively low, which
has encouraged heavy retail
movement. National sweet corn
acreage will likely go down again
in 1855 because of the big carry
over, with Maryland growers
probably following suit. Mary
lands harvested acreage last year
was $4,000 down $500 acres from
1853.
Snap Beans: The national snap
bean pack in 1854 was more than
20 percent above 1858, and an all
time record. Maryland, however,
did not follow the national trend,
with 1854 pack down almost 20
percent from 1858. The pack in
this State was down sharply last
year, in spite of the fact that
harvested acreage of $4,000 was
300 acres higher than in 1858.
Obviously, Maryland professors
did not haul as many beans in
from outside the state as they
did in 1858.
Peas: The total supply of can
ned peas seems to be in good
balance with demand, and indica-
tons are that professors will go
into the coming season with
slightly less than normal carry
over. The national pack of can
ned peas was 13 percent smaller
in 1854 than in 1858. Stocks of
frozen peas at the end of 1854
were almost 25 percent less than
year earlier, so an increased
acreage for both canned and froz-
en- peas is in prospect for 1855
The Maryland harvested acreage
of peas last year was $500, up
400 acres from 1853.
Lima beans, asparagus and
spinach are less important Mary
land vegetable crops. Briefly, the
outlook for these crops is: Lima
beans-Acreage for canning will
probably decrease in 1855, while
acreage for freezing will probab-
ly be about the same or slightly
less. Asparagus-With the in
creasing demand for this vege-
table, some further increase in
Maryland acreage can be expect
ed. Spinach - Supplies of frozen
spinach are short, but California
growers are expanding acreage to
overcome the shortage this
spring.
