MEDAL PRODUCTION SIRE
Many Holstein Calves Recognized
by Holstein-Freisian Association


Curtiss Candy Dandy Curtiss,
sire of many Holstein calves in
this area, has been recognized as
a Silver Medal production sire by
the Holstein-Friesian Association
of America, Richard E. Phillips,
local area representative of the
Curtiss artificial breeding pro-
gram, was informed recently.
Dandy Curtiss is one of 165
bulls, the services of which are
available to dairy and beef farm
ers through the Curtiss Improved
Stud Service.
This recognition is accorded
only a select few of the many
bulls in the Holstein breed" Mr..
Phillips points out. THE distinc-
ton is all the more remarkable
in view of the fact that the sire
of Dandy Curtiss, Curtiss Candy
Dandy George, is also a Silver
Medal production sire"
Still in service, Dandy George
has several thousand artificially
bred daughters throughout the
United States. Records on Ill Of
his tested daughters show an av-
erage production of 1901 pounds
of milk and 453 pounds Fat, or
an increase of 485 pounds milk
and 80 pounds fat over the breed
average.
Dandy Curtiss was made Sill
yer Medal sire on the basis of q
13 daughter-dam comparison. The
daughters averaged 506 pounds
fat for an increase of IL pounds
over their dams. These records
were supervised by the state col
leges in cooperation with the Hol-
stein Association.

State Acreage
Set for Corn
At 27l,64O

Maryland's 1856 corn allotment
has been set by the Department
of Agriculture at 271,640 acres,
Chester S. Bradley, chairman of
the Maryland Agricultural Stab.
ilization and Conservation Com.
mittee, announced. The allotment
for the Is commercial corn coun-
ties compares with nearly 321, 900
acres for the same number of
counties last year There are $40
corn counties in the United States.
Mr.. Bradley explains that a
commercial corn county as defin-
ed by law is one that during the
10 preceding calendar years, has
produced an average of $50 bush
els of corn per farm and at least
four bushels per acre of farmland
in the county.
Also, included are bordering
counties having minor civil divi-
sions which are likely to produce
the indicated amounts in 1856.
Corn grown for silage is not in.
cluded in the determination
Montgomery, Caroline, Carroll,
Cecil, Dorchester, Frederick,
Kent, Queen Annes, Somerset,
Talbot, Washington, Wicomico
and Worcester are the 10 COM
mercial corn counties in Mary
land, Mr.. Bradley said.
In commercial corn counties, he
explains, corn price support is
available to corn growers who do
not exceed the corn acreage allot-
ments established for their farms.
Price support, to be announced
soon, will be between 80 and IS
percent of parity.
Mr.. Bradley says that farm al.
lotments generally will be lower
this year than last because the
acreage allotment for the com.
mercial corn area is lower, due
to larger current supplies as re-
lated to prospective demand.
County and individual farm allot.
ments, however, do not necessar.
lily conform to the Is percent re-
duction in the national allotment,
due largely to the variations in
corn acreage on farms and in
counties during the past five
years.
