& N. Athletes Away S. J From The Farm Adviser's Deslc j E. Among the varsity track letter winners at Ripon College was Steve Loeffelholz of Mc- Henry. Many McHenry area athletes are finishing the school year. We would be pleased to get any news on their progress. Athletes very seldom turn in any news. Too modest. But, most schools have active departments for releasing news to the old home towns. Through the grapevine we learned that Chuck Reilly had a very good year scholastically at Notre Dame where he was a member of the freshman football team. Colors, Fabrics Are Going Soft Fabrics for the soft look of spring suits are drape-y but not droopy. Lighter weight failles, tricotines, grosgrains enter gracefully along with high style checks and plaids, silk serge and tussah. Clarity is the word for colors crisp and clean on one hand, subtle and sophisticated on the other. Light beige and greige, mushroom and mauve are no-colors that light up wherever they go. Flag-bearers carry on in red, white and blue. Pale yellow, peach, beigyplnk, turquoise, ice blue color the feminine spirit in the light and lively mood of spring. UNDKRNKATH IT ALL Beige is likely to be a popular color for bra-slips, girdles and bodysuits due to the emphasis on the "nothing underneath" look in outerwear this season. SHAPING A NEW LIFE FOUNDATION SPRAY Use a foundation spray to stop insects invading your home. A pint, of 45 percent chlordane in three gallons of water will provide enough spray to cover the foundation of the average size house. Spray the foundation to the point of runoff. They spray, around steps and cracks in the patio or porch area. A treatment in May, and once each month thru August, should give a full summer's protection from ants, waterbugs spiders, crickets and millipedes. HERBICIDES When a herbicide is applied to the soil surface, many things can take place. What happens depends partly on the chemical and physical nature of each specific herbicide and partly on the soil and atmospheric conditions. RANDOX, RAMROD, LASSO, 2,4-D ESTER, AMIBEN, ALANAP PLUS, and LOR OX. They are usually applied to the soil surface, rather than being incorporated. Some of them are relatively soluble, and incorporation plus a fairly heavy rain may leach them too far down into the soil. ATRAXINE. It can be incorporated, but doesn't have to be. When rainfall and soil moisture are adequate, incorporation may be of little or no benefit and may even reduce weed control. SUTAN. It is volatile and should be incorporated --preferably as it is being applied. VERNAM. It is a relatively volatile herbicide, so incorporated -- usually the sooner the better. To retain as much of the chemical as possible, it is usually desirable to incorporate as the chemical is being applied. SOIL TEMPERATURES University of Illinois agronomists say that the early farmer gets the high corn yields^ But they agree that if you are interested in planting your corn early this year you should watch the soil temperature. You can start planting corn when the temperature of loam soil climbs above 50 degrees. If you have clay soil, wait until the temperature is above 52 degrees. With sandy soils it is safe to start planting when soil temperatures are still slightly below 50 degrees. You can estimate soil temperature by taking a reading of the soil two inches deep at seven a.m., or four inches deep at one p.m. PLAN FOR DRAINAGE Check your farm now for wet spots. It will help you plan drainage in the future. You probably don't need to be reminded where you have been stuck or have lost crops, but it is well to mark these locations on a farm map. A soils map is especially good for this purpose since it usually shows the wet soil types. Make notes that will serve as helpful reminders when fields are dry and drainage work can be started. DRIVING FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY by Paul Powell Secretary of State This week we mourn the 33,000 deaths that have occurred so far during the current fighting in Viet Nam, the 55,000 lost during Korea, the 406,000 young men killed during World War II, and the 116,700 dead of World War I. Thai's a total of 610,700 killed in major conflict since 1918. To mourn them is, a noble thing. But we do not atop even a moment to mourn the approximately 53,000 killed each year on the highways. Approximately 17,000,000 lives have been lost in automobile accidents since record keeping began in 1913, and who says a prayer?

Carbonneau points out in the new University of Illinois circular "Gardening in Containers," many of today's homes are designed to put you in immediate touch with the outdoors and plant life. And by gardening in containers, you can have plant materials at your fingertips when you walk onto your patio. The new 15-page illustrated circular contains a list of annuals, deciduous trees and shrubs, and evergreens suitable for planting in contiainers. Recommended foliage plants and evergreens include dwarf or slow-growing varieties that will not become overgrown in a short time. Tips on selecting containers, soil mixtures, planting and general care through the year are included. You| can get a free copy of Circular 997 from your county extension advise^, Louis Engelbrecht, Route 47 and Mc- Connell road, Woodstock. - PEST CONTROL A new circular covers spraying and cultural tips for homegrown fruit trees, simplified spray schedules for all fruits (cherries, apples, crabapples, pears, quinces, peaches, nectarines, apricots and plums) grown in Illinois, and lists tips to prevent damage by mice, rabbits and birds. A multipurpose spray of captan, methoxychlor and malathion is suggested. It can be supplemented where needed with other materials to control specific pests. Cqpies of Home Orchard Pest Control, Circular 1001, and Pruning Apple Trees, Circular 871, can be obtained at your County Extension office on Route 47 and McConnell road, Woodstock. You may also send your name and address to Box 431, Woodstock, 60098, or call 338-3737 and we'll send you a copy. FARM CHEMICALS Sutan and the Sutan-atrazine combination (Swat) must be incorporated within a few minutes after application to reduce surface loss. So, it's a good idea to apply the herbicide and incorporate in one op-, eration. Some producers incorporate AAtrex (atrazine) and Princep (simazine) to improve performance during relatively dry weather or to improve control of perennial species such as WED.

HOW TO GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH IN A HOME SHOP IN McHENRY i CLEAN-UP-DAY Clean-up day will be held Saturday, June 7, In Lilymoor, with pick-up to start at 9 a.m. All trash should be placed fir front of the house.

Anyone who can help with the pickup should call Maurice Haines after 4 p.m. New York (NAPS)--Buying a home is probably the largest single investment you'll ever make--a good reason why you shouldn't buy without first investigating thoroughly and taking proper precautions. Here from The American Land Title Association are some questions and answers to help you get your money's worth: 1. When is the best time tv buy a homef When you want it and can afford it. A home is a long range. investment, and over the years the trend has indicated that the value of a wellconstructed. adequately-maintained home in a good location has always increased. 2. Is a new home or an old one the best buy? Both have their advantages, but new or $ld, you should ask yourself the following: How good is the neighborhood, the site, the house itself? Are heating, plumbing, electric wiring and other facilities in good condition? They can sometimes be sounder in an old house than a poorly-constructed brand new 3. How can purchase of a home be financedChances are you can't afford to pay cash, so you'll need to mortgage some part of it. No matter what type of loan you get. you familiarize yourself with penalties, insurance and monthly payments. 4. How can the inreslment he adequately protected' Property insurance can protect you against suits should someone he injured on your place, hut an equally important form of protection that you may overlook is title insurance. No examination of the title, no matter how expert and thorough, can protect you against hidden risks such as missing heirs and forged deeds that don't appear in the public record. An owner's title insurance policy is low cost protection. provided by impartial specialists who are members of ALTA. It's paid for only once and continues as long as you have an interest in the property.
