Senate Defeats Taft ERP unit cut to four billion
Washington March 12 The Senate rejected Taft R Ohio bid to trim the European Recovery Program first year outlay to 4 billion dollars by a 56 to 31 vote. The action clears the way for quick approval of about 5.9 billion dollars in European aid beginning April 1. Taft argued the program lacks economic justification but counters that it fights Communism. The Senate debate also touched on whether aid should run one year or four. Meanwhile in Frederick County a second Farm Bureau led meeting on rural urban cooperation was announced for Tuesday at the Francis Scott Key Hotel with participation from county officials, the mayor, chamber, and local groups. A pest control program for Japanese beetle and corn borer was planned with a University of Maryland expert to present and answer questions.

Certified Seed Potato Requirements Are Given
A caution from University of Maryland plant pathologist R. A. Jehle warns that certified seed potatoes only come from fields examined by qualified experts. Fields with diseased plants are eliminated, but seed can still reinfect if certification is one generation removed. A Maryland grower who bought seed from certified stock last year suffered ring rot losses. Buyers should ensure each bag tag shows official certification from the relevant state or county agency before purchase.
