ADVICE TO GARDENERS An entomologist of the Natural History Survey division of the state Department of Registration and Education has issued a warning to home owners and gardeners to be on the looko it /or signs of red spider mites on foliage of their evergreen trees, shrubbery and flowers. Damage from the mites Is likely to be heavy during warm weather, said Dr. L. L. English. They can be kept under control by frequent dousing of plant* with strong streams of water. The large-scale mass Immunization of dogs against rabies is a more effective control method than quarantine and sporadic immunization. Veterinary medical authorities report studies in several cities sponsoring mass vaccination drives show that such campaigns produce dramatic results. Frank S. May BLACK DIRT Sand - Gravel - Driveway* r Excavating ' Route 5, McHenry Phone: McHenry 580-M-l By W. H. Tammens Do you know how mun^i hay is in 15 pounds? I helped with a hay weighing contest the other night at Ray Scnuring's south of M a r e n g o , w h e r e a b o u t twenty-five farmers and a few wives tried their luck at piling up 15 pounds of hay. They ran all the way from P'i pounds up to 20 in their guesses. Harold Rudzinski and Willard Butler of Marengo both weighed out 15 pounds. On the re-weigh to see who got the Holstein heifer calf '*Lucy Guse," donated by Emil Guse of Union, Harold piled up 16 pounds to win, while Willard only got 13 oft the scales. Lawrence Crone of Harvard, came through again with 61 pounds butterfat herd average for May. He \fras high in April in the state and second high »n May. This is big time stuff in the dairy business Lawrence is on top of a list of over 4,000 h^rds on test in Illinois Kenneth Fiske, Jr;r of Dorr Township, is McHenry county's entry in the 1953 "Save Your Soil For Illinois" contest, sponsored by the state Department of Agriculture. It's a story of diligent, untiring work, getting higher production and at the safne time using the land for which it is best suited and in that way conserving soil and water. His beef herd ig now foraging on a 17-acre piece of slough pasture that heretofore was too soft to ever walk across A new drainage ditch was the answer. As goon as the cattle get the brush and native slough grass under control the area will be cleared and put in -anary grass and ladino clover. This, in Kenneth's opinion, will -more than twice replace the 18 acres of timber pasture he has been using and which will now have a chance to reforest itself. Over 5,000 board feet of lardwood lumber has been taken from this timber for uge on the farm in recent years but will soon be gone if the cattle are allowed to continue # on it, getting only a starvation supply of grass. • Speaking of flies, Fiske says there are no flies in the slough. The cattle much prefer the area to high ground; especially the timber where the flies aeem to stay. Clarence Aavang of Greenwood was last year's representative in the contest Hurray! Hurray! We finally made it. For the firgt time since I came to McHenry county, we have over 400 members in Agricultural 4-H club work I think I'll go sit in the shade awhile That has been one of my goals ofr McHenry county. N Last year we thought we had made it but' when tjj^ enrollment summaries were sent out for the leaders to verify they scratched off enough to bring the final total to only 376. That wag a oi n o heart breaker when we bad 407 members enrolled^ This year we had 417 and ended up after the scratching with 409. My first year here there were 207 and we have been climbing slowly ever since. It hasn't been easy. One of the amazing things about our county is the willingness of adult leaders to take part. In many counties club work is limited by the number of adult leaders that can be talked into .leading a club. Here, when a change in leaders takes place, we at the office get a report of the change either by letter, grape-vine or the new leader comes in and says ne is IT. Now what should he do? God Bless em every one. It's hard work and sometimes very non-fruitful : when some irate parent steps in to set things straight. Here's to the Dest of them; they're no diffareat &<ur< the rest of them. A recent survey of 175 nonfarm people in a mid-west town came up,with these results as to their opinions on every day topics. A total of 48 per cent felt food prices were neither higher nor lower than other prices; twenty-five felt the middle man was responsible if food prices were out of line and only eighteen percent blamed high farm prices; fifty-three per Worwick's McHenry Camera Center "Cameras Bought, Sold and.

Those who favored price supports were equally divided in thinking it brought security for the farmer and security for everyone. Some felt farmers deserved supports. Of the 32 per cent who opposed price supports, a majority felt farmers were being favored, some felt a free market is better for all and a small number felt that price supports raise food prices. Over 54 per cent felt that price supports made no difference in- the attitude of non-farm people toward farmers.

"I hit town late and went right to the hotel. There was no clerk at the desk, but there was a sign that said: 'Gone to bed. Rooms |3. Take a key. Pay when you leave. Sleep Well.' "Upstairs, the room was real dean, the bed comfortable, and I slept like a log. Came down in the Horning--still no rlerk. So I left three dollars st the desk and went en.

Then listen, for a moment, to these amazing facts: The beautiful motorcar pictured here is actually priced lower than twenty-two different models of other motorcar* built and sold in America. Its gasoline economy is so extraordinary that it will travel farther on a gaHon of gasoline than many cars of far less stature and size. Its dependability is so great that, over a normal span of ownership, it will probably . cost as little to operate and maintain as aay^car you could buy. The records of certain fleet operators have indicated tUs, ~ 'And authoritative records reveal that this Cadillac may be expected to return a greater percentage of its owner's investment, at the time of resale, than any other motorcar built in America. Perhaps by now your swpritt has • changed to concern. For if you hapjjen to own one of the twenty-two cars priced higher than tKis magnificent Cadillac--or if you own one of the many, many other cars which are very close in price--then you've been needlessly depriving yourself, of some of "the greatest satisfactions in all the world of motordom. You've been depriving yourself of Cadillac's brilliant performance . . . its superlative handling ease ... its marvelous riiling comfort ... its great andiinspiring beauty ... and the deep an'd abi'ding,pncle wHich comes with ownersfiip of'so boovwi anH respected a possession.
