Need For Rain Felt On Farms
COLLEGE PARK Md The need for rain is still being felt on Maryland and Delaware farms. The weekly summary of crop and weather conditions issued by federal and state agricultural observers said soil in the area is generally very dry with moisture levels very low. Many wells are dry and rainfall was spotty with over half the stations recording only a trace or none. Farmers spent most of last week filling silos sowing oats Darley cutting corn and preparing for full sown wheat. Shocking corn is general in most areas and apple harvests continued in Southern Maryland. A late wheat crop has already been sown but seedings likely won’t begin until about Oct 14.

Southern Frontier Radar and spotting program expanded

Col Broun H Marail said a broad new ground observer filter is needed in over a dozen states. Col Mayall warned Russia can attack from any direction in any weather. The radar ring should be operational in months, and over one million civilian volunteers are needed by end of 1958.

Toll Charge For Some Md Roads Could Start New Highway
The Maryland State Roads Commission urged the Legislature to consider tolls on major roads and to start with a 115 mile Northeast Expressway from Baltimore toward Elkton, potentially finishing in three to four years if tolls fund it. It would connect near Elkton to reach the Pennsylvania Turnpike and be within reach of the Delaware River Bridge and New Jersey Turnpike via U S 40. The panel also weighed converting other main routes to tolls to reduce bond needs for a $3.63 billion highway program, while preserving the commission's power to select toll roads. A squirrel season opened with hunters flocking to the fields, though reports of success were sparse.
