County Agent Reports Strong Corn Crop Prospects
County farmers report one of the best corn crops on record with yields likely to match or exceed any prior year. Minimal damage from Japanese beetle and European corn borer cited, attributed to rigorous local pest control efforts. A Maryland Hessian fly survey by Dr. E N Cory notes damage to wheat in the state last summer, delaying sowing after October to reduce losses. Funds from the Maryland State Fair Board support nine community shows county wide, with most run by local Granges Homemakers Clubs and two by F H A and F F Chapters. Exhibits include four artificial produced dairy cattle and notable success at Hagerstown fair by local breeders. The fourth annual fall cattle sale by the Marr & Jersey Cattle Club set for September 27 at Frederick Fair Grounds. John Iles leads the club, with notable contributions from Stiles and Stires of Glenellen Farms and Mrs Iles, daughter of the Quinns.

Install guards on doors and corners, and cover the crib underside for full protection.

Aluminum roofing urged to cut heat deaths in poultry houses
The News notes rising temperatures threaten bird welfare as heat disables cooling in uninsulated houses.
