Maryland ACP Accomplishments and 1952 Outlook
Maryland farmers expanded soil and water conservation under ACP in 1950 with seedings, lime, phosphates, terraces, contour farming, and forest planting. Forestry planting rose 24 percent from 1949, and farmers plan ahead for 1952 with emphasis on timely orders and services. Price support programs stabilized retail food costs, with CCC stock holdings supporting prices and encouraging herd and flock maintenance to lower consumer prices.
