Comment By County Agent By Henry Br Shoemaker
County Agriculture Agent Henry B Shoemaker notes farm numbers have fallen while efficiency rises. He cites that one farm worker once fed ten others, now feeds twenty, reflecting higher capital per worker and a shift toward managerial farming to support a growing population.

Peach Borers Threaten Trees and Spray Timetable
The bulletin explains peach borer life cycle from July to August and urges early trunk spraying with DDT per Bulletin 134 1958 Maryland Spray Calendar for commercial growers and Bulletin 125 for home fruit planting. It notes female borers lay 20 to 800 eggs on trunks or cracks and recommends spraying before hatching. County Agent offices supply bulletins. The Maryland Angus Association hosts a Breeders Show August 16 at Gaithersburg Agricultural Center starting 1 30 p.m. with self show rule and a after-event gathering at Fred Jones Farm Laytonsville.
