Women’s program added to Uof Maryland field day
QUEENSTOWN, Md -
A forenoon women’s
program will be u new
feature at next month's ninth
annual University of
Maryland crops and soils
research field day on the
Eastern Shore. The event is
set for Tuesday, Aug. 17, at
the Wye Institute in southern
Queen Annes county.
Lost farmland studied
The specter of ur
banization rapidly gobbling
up our cropland is not the
threat it may seem.
Looking at airphotos of 53
counties that experienced 20
percent of the U.S.
population increase between
1960 and 1970, USDA’s
Economic Research Service
found that urban uses ac
counted for 16 percent of the
total land area, up from 13
percent in 1960.
In all counties, each
person added to the
population resulted in one
sixth of an acre of rural land
shifting into, urban use. But
only a third of this rural land
had been in crops.
Also, researchers noted
that advancing urbanization
sometimes meant more
intense use of land already
given to urban areas.
In 1970, land in
agricultural uses - cropland,
pasture and range, and
farmsteads - make up 39
percent of the study area,
versus 42 percent 9 years
earlier.
Cropland’s share of the 53
counties dropped from 33 to
30 percent of the total land

Clip & Save
As in past years, persons
attending the field day will
have an opportunity to see
research plots involving
agronomic and horticultural
crops and woodland
management.
They will have a chance to
hear University of Maryland
and U S Department of
Agriculture research
workers explain individual
area But losses weren’t all
to urbanization. In fact, only
about a half of the 500,000
acres taken out of cropland
went to urban uses and more
new cropland was brought
into production than was lost
to urban development.
Open idle land - unforested
terrain showing no sign of
other use - took the biggest
share of land formerly in
crops. Similarly, most new
cropland developed during
the 1960’s had been open idle
land.
This simultaneous
diversion of cropland into
idle land and idle land into
crops indicates that
producers continually
reevaluate land capability in
light of changing
technologies. For example,
mechanization has favored
development of large tracts
of level or gently sloping
land.
Cropland, which slipped
three percentage points
during 1960-70, declined the
most of all nonurban land
uses. The others - open idle
land, pasture and range, and
forest - each shrank by less
than 1 percentage point.

year, the project’s aim is to
compare results on com
growth from ammonium
nitrate, two types of urea
and a 30 percent liquid
nitrogen solution.
Some of the research
projects which arc familiar
to previous field day par
ticipants include limnanthes,
still being tested for
suitability as an oilseed crop
in Maryland; waxy and high
oil com variety trials, and
various fertility and weed
control treatments in con
tinuous com planted under
both no-tillage and con
ventional cultural practices.
Another research project
which has been around for
awhile - although relatively
unknown to the general
public - is kenaf, a tall
growing fiber plant of the
Hibiscus family. It is grown
commercially in Central
America, Africa, and
Southeast Asia. The fiber has
long been used for cordage
and canvas manufacture.
