The field at Monocacy Farms yields heavily year after year with top-dressing of 0-14-14 per acre. Dr Kuhn of the University of Maryland and Dan Wight supervise the practice.

Inaccurate Scales and Pumps Found in Maryland
COLLEGE PARK May 13 Almost one in three of the scales and gasoline pumps in Maryland counts tested by Department of Markets inspectors were found inaccurate in the first set of findings. John E Mahoney state superintendent of weights and measures reported at the association conference in Baltimore that 1249 scales, 2205 gasoline pumps were checked with 991 incorrect. Scales were about 40 percent off and pumps about 29 percent, though overall error was lower than expected given no prior official checks. Mahoney noted no deliberate retailer cheating, with errors split 50 50 between benefiting customers and merchants.
