from 1921 to S2O.45 per ton dried
for the systems using heat. The
weighted average cost was S505 per
ton, DR.. Wysong says
For the NOW system without heat,
the range in total costs was from
S .9S to S621 per ton dried. The
average cost Of unheated NOW
driers was 1924 per ton dried.
According to Dr. Wysong, the
critical questions with most dairy
men, trying to decide whether or
not to artificially dry hay are:
VIII the additional milk response
and sales of milk more than pay
the costs of drying hay? Will l
have large tonnages Of hay to pro-
cess through the drier? Do I have
more profitable alternatives in
which to use the capital funds such
as additional fertilizer or additional
feed grains?

Study Shows Costs
Of Drying Hay
Bv Artificial Means

What does it cost to dry hay
artificially? DR.. John w. Wysong,
University of Maryland agricultur-
al economist has compiled some
figures from a study of hay drying
costs on Maryland farms.
High quality forage is essential
to obtain relatively high levels of
milk per COW and rapid rates of
gain in young cattle with relatively
low levels of grain feeding. A re-
cent development in the produc-
ton of quality hay is the use of a
hay drier. However, DR.. Wysong
points out, considerable additional
expense is incurred on farms which
dry hay artificially.
The total fixed investment in hay
drying equipment ranged from $500
to S6,825 on the "a farms studied
during the summer of 1859. Total
investment in NOW drying equip
ment with the use of unheated air
ranged from $500 to $3.50. In con-
trast, the investment ranged from
$2,O93 to S6,825 on farms with hay
drying systems which used heat
exchanger, he reports.
The tonnage of hay dried by
farmers who used driers ranged
from IS to 400 tons. Total hay dry
ing costs, which include fixed costs
as well as the variable costs ranged

New Blue Cross Rate
Increase Requested

Blue Cross and Blue Shield
asked Maryland insurance officials
last Thursday for permission to in
crease their monthly medical and
disqualification insurance rates
from 1873 to 1874 per cent, with
part Of the raise due to proposed
new benefits.
The additional benefits would in
clude coverage of X-rays and 9th
er tests or examinations for pa
tients not admitted to hospitals
Executives of the non-profit in
surance plans called this "a ma
jor step in promoting the more
effective use of higher-cost hos
pital impatient facilities and, even
more important, in encouraging
the detection and diagnosis of con-
ditions requiring care in earlier
stages, when they can be treated
most successfully"
Third In Three Years
The request for higher Blue
Cross disqualification plan rates is
the third in three years. A 1872
per cent increase was approved
last year.
Also proposed was a deductible
coverage plan similar to deducti-
BILE automobile damage insurance,
in which the subscriber pays the
first S25 for one-day hospital
stay or $50 for a stay or two of
more days.
Only a smaller portion of the
proposed boosts was attributed to
the cost of new benefits, such as
the X-ray examinations in doctors
offices or hospital out-patient
rooms. The larger share is needed
because present rates are not suf-
ficient TO cover the cost of care
Blue Cross and Blue Shield sub
scribers are receiving under the
present programs" the services
said in an announcement to news
outlets.

Department of Agriculture.
The department reported that
2,118,471 acres of trees were
planted last year and that 100000
acres were conservation reserve
land.
Through 1859, a total of 1,8
million acres of conservation
reserve land had been contracted
for tree planting. This conserva-
ton use has been most popular
in the southeastern states and
in the states bordering the Great
Lakes.
Under the conservation reserve
program, farmers voluntarily
take land out of crop production
by placing it under contract for
a period of years. The contracts
call for the land to be devoted
to an approved conservation use
such as trees, grass, water stor-
age, or cover especially bene-
ficial to wildlife. When trees are
to be planted on the land, the
contract must be for period OF
10 years. Farmers receive cost
sharing to help plant the trees
and also annual payments for the
life of the contract.

schools are to be run. A leopard
cannot change its spots.
Allen p. Burkhardt of Nor
folk, Nebraska, school super
intendent, has had something
to say on this subject. He is
well qualified to speak authori-
tatively. He has had experience
with Federal give e-aways"-
in vocational agriculture and
home economics. Says Mr..
Burkhardt:
ITO get this money we have
to accept and adopt the course
of study outlined and speci-
fled by the Federal Govern
ment through the state depart
ment (of education). We have
to permit inspection trips by
state employees who receive
part of their money from the
Federal Government. We have
to hire teachers whose Gualifi-
cations are approved by the
same groups.
And Mr.. Burkhardt went on
to say that his schools were
quite capable of working out
their courses of study in all
other technical fields because
they received no Federal
money, but for agriculture and
home economics, because they
accepted Federal support, they
had to accept courses of study
worked out by other people,
and had to put up with outside
supervision. Mr.. Burkhardt
added that in the agriculture
and home economics fields
where they were favored"
with Federal funds:
we are told how long our
periods of recitation have to be
that's not true IN any other
field. We are told how large
the classrooms and the shops
have to be, what type of equip
ment we have to have, even
the type of floor in the rooms.
We are told about how much
money TO spend per student.
We are not allowed to use the
teachers in those departments
in any other fields. If we do
we lose our Federal money"
And then Mr.. Burkhardt con-
cluded his telling argument
against Federal Aid to Educa-
ton" with this knockout punch;
IF this doesn't constitute
control from Washington, then
at least it's a reasonable facsi-

Farm Extension
Notes
Ground Hog Control

Ground hog control is a prob
lem on many farms. The most
productive farm usually has the
most ground hog damage.
County agent, Floyd Hender-
son reports that the Fish and
Wildlife Service of the u. S. De-
partment of Interior have a very
humane and inexpensive method
of control available to farmers.
From their rodent control
service at Lafayette, Indiana
they make gas cartridges avail
able for farmers. These cartridge
are introduced in the burrow and
kill by generating carbon mon
oxide in the den. The cartridges
are available at $3.50 per hun
dred plus transportation charge.
In Ohio it is legal to use these
bombs during April and May,
Several commercial brands of
the gas bombs are available, SO
OF should be rather simple to get
the working tools for groundhog
control. In the past many farmers
haveused corbon monoxide con-
troll by directing the tractor OF
auto exhaust into the den. This
will do the job but is more ex-
pensive than using the gas bomb
method.
