Symons Urges Maryland Farmers to Conserve Grain
Dean T B Symons of the College of Agriculture outlined a five point conservation program urging Maryland farmers to save grain and feed. He promoted more hay and silage use, hay feeding three to four times daily, careful culling, lighter hog marketing, shorter grain rations, and better storage. The measures, he said, are practical for farmers and aim to boost food for Europe.
