School Reporter Nationil Shade Tree Conference In Chicago The ninth meeting of the midwestern chapter of the National Shade Tree conference was held at the LaSalle hotel in Chicago last week. This is ii national organization established to create greater interest in shaJe tree welfare. Many very inteiesting papers were presented. E, F. Herrback, Standard Oil company entomologist, brought the meeting up to date on "Insect Control Developments." He pointed out that scale insects on many of our shade trees in this vicinity are becoming a definite menace, especially to our elms and maples. These Insects are primarily controlled by early spring dormant spraying. Other speakers on the program were from the Illinois Natural History Survey, Purdue University, Kansas State college, Iowa State college • and Ohio State University. Ulmer Turner of the American Broadcasting company gave a very good and amusing talk. Lyle Anderson of Anderson Tree service was in attendance. Farmers' Outlook Foreign Markets For State Grain The three most important Illinois grain crops are parUy dependent upon export markets. Prospects and problems in exporting these crops were discussed at Farm and Home Week by James S. Schonberg, who is associated with a grain -marketing fiim. Some of Mr. Schonberg'^ comments are summarized as follows: * Twe Flew O--taiaa Template costumes of tdfcSkung el a slender skirt and k Mb Jacket are perfect together.

FOR THE OPENING OF NIESEN'S NEW 5* to $1.00 STORE On or About April lit! advantages for selling wheat iry other countries. We can easily produce more than we need for food. We can produce wheat cheaply because of our favorable soil, climate/, machinery and know-how. The kinds of wheat that we grow meet the needs of importing countries. And our peak of harvest movement fits in well between the heavy flows of wheat from other countries. Wheats exports are normally a balance that keeps supplies and demand in stfep. Large supplies bring lower prices, and these in turn attract foreign buyers whose purchases of our grain keep burdensdme surpluses from building "P. The world export markets take some 900 million bushels annual-. ly. This compares with an average world production of 6,500,- 000,000 bushels and with an average U.S. crop of 1,100,000,000 bushels. To sell wheat for export, we iftust offer it at prices that are competitive with those of" other exporting countries, especially Canada and Australia. If our prfces are kept too high, importing countries will fill their needs elsewhere. Wheat can be grown in more places in the world than probaMy any other staple food. Soybean exports are often iihportant market factors. Biggest The United States has many /Shipments in any one year weiV 79 million bushels, compared with an average production of 275 million bushels. Illinois farmers, located close to processors, supply U. S. needs, while beans grown in the South and East are more often exported. Canadian buyers prefer Illinois beans. Manchuria formerly was the leading exporter of soybeans, but political disturbances in Asia have greatly reduced that outflow. Illinois fartners are In a good position to produce and sell corn *or export. They sell more corn than farmers of any other state. They have relaUvely cheap transportation by rail and by water. Exports of corn during the New Location G. A.

HI I past season totaled 140 million bushels, the largest since the war. This amount is equal , |o nearly one third of the total harvested in Illinois. Argentina is our chief competitor In the world corn market. Pioduction in that country in quite erratic, but there is a 'good crop in the making now. Shipments from Argentina are expected to be large after April 1. Corn can now be sold abroad without subsidy, although such s. les return les? than the U. S. support price to farmers. Grain sorghums have about the same uses as corn and are an important crop in the Southwest. Exports reached 75 million bushels in 1950. Restrictions on acreages of cotton and wheat mean more acres of grain sorghums. a. much larger proportion of grain sorghums than erf corn is sold off farms. These facts seem to indicate that the program now in effect will giv* much of the Illinois corn r^. ers export market to 'ha 'producer* of grain sorghums. OIL FOOLS ^ The discovery of four •• pools in the Illinois o& fields as a result of January drilling activities is related in the latest monthly oil and gas report of the state geological survey New pools are: Poset West and New Memphis North in Clinton county; Schnell East in Richland county, and New Hebror East in Crawford county. Drillers completed 319 wells between Dec. 23 and Feb. 2, including 164 new producers. Estimated Illinois oil production during January was 5,297,000 barrels, a daily average of about if barrels.
