Funded by the governor’s Chesapeake Bay initiative, the program will provide both short term and long-range benefits for farmers and urban residents alike. Farmers will automatically save $l2-the university’s normal fee for each manure sample tested, notes V. Allan Bandel, an Ex tension agronomy specialist at the University of Maryland. Dr. rain research, $75,000 for mushroom research, $60,000 for ongoing promotional activities; and $8 million for grants to counties to purchase food for the needy. Melinda and Dean Exhibitor Johnson. Sterling Timmons was the judge and Jay Proctor was the show chairman. Bandel supervises the university’s soil testing laboratory, which also> does the manure testing. In the long run, farmers who are informed about the plant nutrients in the manure they apply will be able to cut back on the amount of commercial fertilizer needed to bring their cropland up to recommended fertility levels. Limited application of fertilizer, in turn, will help to cut down on the amount of excess nutrients in groundwater and surface runoff, thus reducing pollution of the state’s waterways--and the Chesapeake Bay. “This benefits everyone.’’ Dr. Bandel declared. _
