Artificial Dairy Breeding Boosts Maryland Milk Output
Floyd W. Arnold from the University of Maryland extension dairyman argues that the Maryland Artificial Breeding Cooperative will raise milk production on farms without increasing cattle numbers or feed. He notes the state dairy cow average yields under 5,000 lb of milk and 200 lb of butterfat yearly and cites widespread use of grade bulls and small herd sizes as limiting factors. Artificial breeding would allow small farmers to access top bulls at lower costs than maintaining scrub bulls.

Spring oats offer quick feed relief for Maryland farms
Maryland farmers facing a feed shortage in 1946 are urged to plant spring oats early and choose short season varieties. Extension agent F M Rogers notes wet fall 1945 reduced winter wheat and barley acreage, making spring oats a crucial insurance crop. Suitable varieties for central and eastern Maryland include Columbia Fulgham Fulgrain and Vieland, with careful planting advised for Piedmont and coastal regions. Western Maryland conditions are favorable for oats.

Seed and fertilizer guidelines for oats production
The guidance recommends clean heavy seed treated with fungicide for disease control. For grain, 8 to 10 pecks of seed per acre. Apply 200 to 500 pounds of fertilizer, specifically 3-12-6, for oats. On nitrogen rich soil, omit nitrogen fertilizer to prevent lodging.
