Burns Urges
Short Delay
In Marketing

Orderly marketing of grain
crops continues to be a wise pol
icy for farmers to follow, accord
ing to Leonard c. Burns, chair
man, Maryland Agricultural Stab
iliZation and Conservation Com
mittee. Burns stressed the point
that farmers generally should
avoid rushing excessive crop sup
plies to market Immediately af-
ter harvest. To do so, he ex-
planned can mean a lot to farm
ers in terms of net income from
this years grain crops.
Burns also reminded Maryland
farmers that price-support pro.
grams are an effective aid to ord
] erly marketing. Through the
4 programs, the GoVernm ent stands
ready to make loans on many
leading grain crops. These loans
enable farmers to finance "hold.
ing" operations, keep ownership
of their crops, and spread mar
ketings over the periods of the
year when prices are usually high
er than at harvest time.
Since proper storage is import
ant in orderly marketing, Chair
man Burns points out that, where
additional on-farm storage space
is needed, special Government
programs provide financial help
to build or buy the required
space. Information on storage
structures which qualify in Mary
land under price-support pro.
grams is available at the county
ASC offices.
