Clark S. Hobbs reprints University of Maryland president Dr. H. C. Byrd’s critique of U S Department of Agriculture efforts to bypass state agencies.

Dengler.

Farmers urged to cut weed trees to aid war effort
In Maryland a university extension official urges farmers to harvest underutilized woodlot trees while markets are favorable. Dengler says cutting inferior trees boosts wartime wood supply and lands extra profit, with guidance available through the University of Maryland Extension Service at College Park. Soybean support prices for 1944 were raised by the State Agricultural War Board, to 2.04 per bushel for green and yellow beans grade US No 2 or better, 1.84 for brown, black or mixed beans. 1943 prices were 1.80 and 1.60 respectively.
