Changes in Revenue Act through Farmers and Families
The 1951 Federal revenue act introduces higher tax rates from November 1 and combined with previous rates for 1951 income. Exemptions rise to $600 for dependents, farm partnerships are recognized, and medical expenses for seniors are deductible in full. Farm home rules separate real estate from farming land for capital gains treatment, with favorable rates if conditions are met. Growing crops can count toward farm sale price when sold to the same buyer and the land crop conditions hold, shifting to capital gains treatment. Consult the local revenue agent for complex residence and asset scenarios.

Milk Producers In Hot And Stormy Meeting Here Friday
In Winchester Hall of District Four of the Maryland Cooperative Milk Producers Inc two factions clashed over control as Association President C M Merryman of Baltimore struggled to manage speakers and several attempts were made to oust him. Directors from the district faced removal and a by law amendment adopted last August sparked debate. Nearly 260 producers attended as discussion covered butterfat differentials the Louisville base plan and the sale of The Maryland Farmer asset for 14000. A pension rumor about R W Sherman line surfaced and calls for new leadership emerged amid questions of legality and parliamentary rule as the meeting aimed to set conditions for the cooperative's future.

Supply Situation Outlined For Insecticides And More
Maryland officials warn farmers to plan 1952 pesticide needs now to avoid shortages. USDA data show adequate production capacity but limited storage and metal shortages. Early bulk purchases and careful storage could ease future supply shocks amid defense demand. The report urges farmers to secure part of needs for fungicides insecticides and herbicides to prevent bottlenecks and maintain steady manufacturing and shipping through the growing season.

Good Top Soil Still Going Down The River
Maryland official Blandford cites Northwest Appalachian study showing bluegrass lime fertilizer holds soil far better than continuous corn. An acre of bluegrass loses about 38 pounds yearly versus 198,000 pounds on cropland. He urges winter planning for 1952 with grasses and legumes, seed checks, lime and fertilizer orders to maximize conservation outcomes.

Biological control for corn borer discussed by university and USDA
The program details releasing parasites to combat corn borers in infested fields. Principal parasite, lydella, is a dark fly larger than a housefly and may kill about one third of borers in fall surveys. Farmers should plow under or shred all corn stalks before May 1, 1982 to prevent borer harbors.
