Seeding Under 
Corn-Hog Program 
Under the terms of the Corn-Hog 
Program in Maryland, land taken 
out of Corn may be used for planting 
permanent pasture, soil improve¬ 
ment and erosion preventing crops, 
not to be harvested. Crops that 
may be planted are Bluegrass, Red- 
top, Timothy, Alfalfa, Clover ex¬ 
cept Sweet Clover - with or without 
nurse crop. The newly planted pas¬ 
ture may be grazed in 1934, if no 
nurse crop is used, but cannot be 
harvested for hay. Contracted acres 
are released on December 1, 1934. 
Cash rental that year, in the case of 
land producing 30 bushels per acre, 
would be $9.00 per acre. This rental 
will more than cover the cost of 
seeding to Alfalfa, the best but cost¬ 
liest of all hay crops.
