Second Front Question Divides Frederick County Readers
Frederick Countians express varied views on a possible second front by the United Nations this year. One observer cites insufficient information, others predict action next month, while some doubt a year end move unless air superiority is assured. A diehard optimist argues a front is essential for Russia and to strike Hitler, while a skeptic cites weather and strategic limits. Also noted is a bridge collapse near Middletown spilling no lime, and a Moscow report of a German bomber shot down near the capital during allied talks.

Use of Legumes Urged to Offset Nitrogen Shortage
College Park Aug 7 Dr W B Kemp head of the University of Maryland Agronomy Department says with short nitrogen supplies for the coming year greater use of manures and legumes is needed to maintain crop production. He notes seed supplies of crimson clover and hairy vetch are relatively abundant yet prices may stay high. Kemp urges careful manure management since only about 20 percent of feed nutrients are retained by animals and nitrogen loss is common without proper handling.

Prices for futures and various grain classes listed, with soybeans and oats also showing declines and mixed reports on grade quality. Agricultural experts now advise machine-malking cows in three to five minutes, half the time formerly thought necessary.
