New Snap Bean Wade Promoted By Maryland Extension
Wade a new green padded snap bean variety will be available from seedsmen in 1952. Ed Bender from the University of Maryland notes Wade is suited for processing, market or home gardens. Bred by the late Dr. B L Wade of the USDA lab in Charleston, it won the 1952 All American Selections gold medal. Wade resists common bean mosaic and powdery mildew, produces six inch pods with reddish brown seeds, and matures about five days after Tendergreen. Demonstration tests in 1950 showed Wade yielding 205.7 bushels per acre, vs Tendergreen at 179. Toocrop yielded 265. The plant grows taller than Tendergreen and pods protrude above ground. Researchers urge small trials to compare Wade with Topcrop and Tendergreen.

Bottled Fertilizers Replace Liquid Manure
Liquid manure, long used by gardeners, yields to bottled concentrated liquid fertilizers. High odor and mess fade as a precise amount of fertilizer mixes with water to feed plants. Water culture methods show nutrients reach roots rapidly, boosting growth and yield. Manure remains a mysterious, long valued soil builder with trace elements.
Winter grains as pasture boost grazing in New Jersey farms
Farmers increasingly integrate winter small grains into rotations to extend grazing. In New Jersey experiments, rye and other cereals yield higher forage with grazing, boosting milk output and silage options while improving pasture use and soil fertility across eastern humid and western irrigated regions.

Farmers' Net Income To Remain About Same
University of Mariland agricultural economists report 1952 farm net income should stay near 1951 levels despite higher living costs. Defense spending dominates 1951 and remains influential. 1952 industrial production steady. civilian employment up two to three million above 1957. population grows two million yearly. rising consumer income boosts agricultural exports, but production rise may balance demand, keeping average farm prices roughly steady with 1951.

Poison mite killer boosts fight against tree pests
New chemical Aramite from U S Rubber Co enters field tests against a wide range of mites that attack apples citrus grapes and other crops. It kills hatched mites with a dry wettable powder that sticks to leaves for two months and is not poisonous to humans in normal use though large doses are hazardous. It leaves beneficial insects largely unharmed but can cause slight leaf burn on pears.

Population Growing at About Six Thousand Per Day
Joseph H. Blandford, chair man of the Maryland PMA State Committee, cites statistics showing a net food need of about 6,000 people per day. By 1975 U S population could top 200 million, boosting demand for meat milk eggs and produce. To meet rising needs Maryland farmers must raise production while preserving soil fertility and adopting conservation practices urged by the Agricultural Conservation Program. The U S Department of Agriculture offers help to farmers to expand the breadbasket.
