Soil Studies Are Suggested for Postwar Chemurgic Plans
Wheeler McMillen, president of the National Farm Chemurgic Council, urged soil studies and rapid topsoil creation as key postwar chemurgic research. He proposed state-owned laboratories to advance systematic soil fertility research, warning that soil productivity underpins all agricultural production and economic wealth from such efforts.

Shorter drying period boosts grass silage quality
Dr. Moore notes that drying swath crops to about 65 percent moisture cuts time to ensile. On good days two hours may suffice to reduce moisture from 75 percent. The USDA has Leaflet 239 with a simple home device to judge correct moisture and avoid air exposure during storage. Cutting to about half inch and proper packing are essential.

Maryland Farmers Increase Use of AAA Lime Contracts
Farmers in Maryland under the Agricultural Adjustment Agency program ordered more liming materials in the first four months of this year than in all of 1943. The materials, distributed through AAA, aim to boost war-food yields per acre and conserve soil fertility during intensive cultivation. The 1944 AAA program offers two methods for cooperating farmers to utilize government conservation resources.

State AAA Details Lime Payments for Soil Conservation
Eben C. Jenkins notes payments to finance liming practices to conserve soil fertility for current and future generations. Maryland farmers may obtain lime via the County Agricultural Conservation Association or through trade channels to qualify for conservation payments. In 1943 deliveries reached 194 000 tons with 54 000 tons under the state contract and 59 000 tons total in 1935.

Too Early Cutting Weakens Alfalfa Says Maryland Experts
June 5 College Park Maryland agronomy specialist John W. Magruder of the University of Maryland extension service warns that cutting alfalfa before airy blooms appear drains root reserves and weakens the crop. He advises delaying harvest until one tenth to one quarter of flower buds are in bloom and postponing later cuttings until plants reach half bloom.

Growing Soybean Hay as a Late May Crop Plan
College Park June 5. Agronomy specialist John W. Magruder of the University of Maryland extension urges farmers with thin clover and timothy stands from drought or lime and fertility shortages to cut in late May and plow for a soybean hay crop. Early harvest improves hay quality and opens land for an extra midsummer hay yield.

Soybean planting timing and soil amendments advised
Mr. Magruder notes that slight yield reductions may occur with higher quality soybeans. Clover and timothy hay or silage can supplement pastures, soybean hay for winter feeding. Plow after cutting to plant soybeans in early June. Lime 1,000–2,000 pounds per acre and 300 pounds per acre of 0-14-17 fertilizer may boost yield. Virginia or Wilson varieties good for hay. Manchu for earlier planting. Seed inoculation required.
