( From The Farm LAW ON ^HF FARM A1 Bock, University of Illinois agricultural lawyer, will discuss "Law on the Farm" with McHenry county farmers on Wednesday, March 17,1 to 3 p.m., Farm Bureau auditorium, Woodstock. Mr. Bock will discuss the encroachment of urbanization on the farmer and what you will need to be doing in regard to manure disposal, livestock smells, cattle wading in streams, etc. He is also going to discuss fence laws, land drainage, tile lines, rights and limitations in the use of farm property in regard to trespass, easements, spraying and some planning and zoning. A really important item for many of you will be land con demnation in regard to new roads, etc., across your property. Pipelines are crossing the county in all directions. Why not be here to ask Mr. Bock your rights and the payments due you? Environmental quality and- or pollution are important topics today. Come and hear what your University of Illinois lawyer has to discuss with you. GRAIN BINS KILL! Double check for safety every time you move grain. More than a dozen persons died in Illinois last year from "drowning" - being sucked into moving grain and suf focating - in grain bins. And at least half of those deaths were children who were playing in bins during unloading. FRUIT TREE SELECTION When you're buying apple, pear, cherry and plum trees from a nursery, try to get medium size stock~3 to 6 feet high with trunk diameter of % to % inch. University of Illinois Extension Fruit Specialist Dan Meador says large trees are more difficult to train, require more severe pruning at planting and recuperate more slowly from shock of transplanting. Small trees are easier to train and they start bearing as early as the larger ones. THE MESSAGE IS, "I'M LOUSY" If a beef or dairy cow has a rough hair ,, coat and bare patches of hide showing on either side of her neck, she's trying to tell you something. First she's telling you that she is lousy-probably feeding a heavy population of sucking lice-and is scratching herself to try to dislodge them. And she's telling you that you're a poor manager. You should have sprayed her to destroy the lice. In cases of heavy parasitism, the li<te may congregate ft one area till they form a "black spot" on the skin. It's difficult to get efficient use of feed under these conditions. Lindane or malathion sprays are effective for beef cattle, but follow directions carefully. Use crotoxyphos emulsifiable concentrate according to directions for dairy cattle. For best control, spray twice, 14 days apart. Don't wait for spring. Pick a sunny winter day and stop these parasites from feeding on old Bossy's life blood. MORE AND CHEAPER BOARS THIS YEAR Practically ajl of the genetic improvement in Illinois commercial hogs comes through buying better boars. And this year Illinois' commercial pork producers have the greatest opportunity for selection of good boars they have had for at least five years. More boars are available, and prices are lower. This is the year for commercial producers to buy that really good boar- the one that has been either too expensive or too hard to find during the last few years. BARGAINING REQUIRES COOPERATION A bargaining power survey by University of Illinois agricultural economists shows that many farmers want higher prices, but do not realize that b a r g a i n i n g r e q u i r e s cooperation to reach group objectives. Harold Guither, Extension specialist in public policy, reports that farmers' views on "fair price" vary widely. But bargaining requires that producers' representatives and buyers agree on a single base price. CORN BLIGHT Severity of southern corn leaf blight in Illinois this season will depend largely on growing season weather and ability of the fungus to overwinter, ac cording to Dr. O.N. Nesheim, plant pathologist for the state agriculture department. He said Florida plant pathologists be lieve the blight movement to northern states will be restrict ed this year because more blight-resistant varieties are to be planted in southern areas. He reminded Illinois formers to pur chase seed com from recog nized dealers to be certain of receiving legitimate supplies. MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS Through the courtesy of Family Health Service and Mental Health Clinic Brain Waves Popularly known as the "brain wave machine," the electroencephalograph is a mys tifying piece of apparatus to most people with its strange- looking wires attached to a person's skull and running to a complex machine where jig gling pens scribble mysterious, wavy lines across a vast ex panse of seemingly unending, rolling paper. "Let's do an EEG", a phy sician or scientist will say on TV; and then we see the ma chine, its use with the patient, and the grave heads of the med ical team huddling pver the rolling paper, nodding or shak ing as they examine the trac ings. The foiling paper is the rec ord, or electroencephalogram, from the electroencephalograph, or machine, and is used in re search studies and in diagnosis. Actually, in a sense, %e "brain wave machine" is not terribly complex. It merely is an instrument for recording graphically the electrical ac tivity of the brain. This elec trical activity fluctuates or changes, making up and down patterns, hence the "waves" on the paper record, which come via wires usually attached by easily removable means to a person's skull and, despite their grim look, not damaging or painful. As an American Psychiatric Association definition says, the EEG is a graphic recording of minute electrical impulses arising from the activity of cells in the brain. It is used in neu rologic and psychiatric diagno sis and research." The instrument and its re cording are remindful of the electrocardiograph, or ECG, which is another machine for recording electrical activity-- this time of the heart. The ECG, with electrodes (end con nections of the wires from the machine) attached to the chest, writes down tracings that de pict the electrical impulses of the heart. The electrocardiograph has been in use for many, many years and is valuable both to the research scientist and the physician looking for heart disease. It is a useful diagnos tic tool, but it does not diagnose heart disease in all of the people on whom it is used. Somewhat the same thing may be said of the EEG. The electroencephalograph is useful in studying mental illness. Brain wave patterns brain's electrical activities are helpful to the neurologist looking for organic damage or to the psy chiatrist seeking for subde manifestations of mental illness; and the instrument is growing in usefulness both, to research( and diagnosis. Tomorrow's Children "Let's save tomorrow for the children," is a solgan that we see a lot of these days. This is all well and good. We must give a lot of care and attention to our environment and to correcting and prevent ing such things as air and water pollution. But we also have to give as much or more attention to the' children themselves--and to their proper care--or there won't be any children around to live in the idealized environ ment we'd like them to have. Providing adequate and ac cessible health care to children everywhere in our country, whether they live in a small community or an urban ghetto, is just about as important as any job we have facing us. We are making the mental health of children one of the major thrusts of our programs for the seventies at the National Institute of Mental Health. It was-over 60 years ago that a juvenile psychopathic clinic was organized in Chicago and beginnings were promised for mental health programs for children. Many of the infants and chil dren of that day--1909--have died. Some still survive as grandparents; and, if they are aware of the health situation in some depth, may know that their grandchildren, or most of them, are still almost as des perately in need of mental health services as was true way back then. But the major point isn't the past. It's the present and fu ture; and it is certainly doubt ful, to say the least, whether three more generations of our children can grow up in the next 60 years and healthfully survive if we continue to sub stitute lip service for mental health service. sit has been well suggested that the days of Topsy, who "just grew" are ended; that the pressures of frustration and alienation, among other things, are too great; and that, if child hood in America is to be en- You've got the sun at night with an electric dryer.

BY PETE FRITCHIE Lakeland, Fla.-- One of the b i g i f s o f t h e 1 9 7 1 M a j o r League baseball season is whether Baltimore's world champions can do it again,, the third time in succession, in the American League. That's rare. Few teams have done it in recent years. Last season the Birds had a motive, revenge for their collapse in the 1969 World Series in New York when the Mets took it away from them. They were burning for another chance and got it, won the Series against a Cincinnati club with ailing pitchers. This season, going for three in a row, they've strengthened their hurling by trading. Can Palmer, McNally and Cuellar all come through again with great seasons-20-game sea- " sons' Can Boog Powell again lead the league as the most valuable player' Will age fi nally catch up on Frank Rob inson-did it begin to show last year? Bird Manager Earl Weaver thinks the Birds will be just as strong, and if they are they'll probably win again. joyed and lived rather than en dured oiHost. there is no longer any time for delay. We know that there are grave needs for children and young people to be provided with men tal health services. These needs are a national concern. Let's recognize and act on the fact that investments in the mental health of children are essential. Why not be sure that we adopt the slogan, "Let's save our children for tomorrow." Last year the only serious challenge the Birds got come from the young-Yankees, after a move by Detroit fizzled in June. The Yankees are likely to be better and they are lead by Ralph Houk, one of the best. But the Tigers andBosox might also be better. Billy Martin might light a fire under the Bengals, who have improved their pitching also, and the Red Sox are coming on. In a tight race, Baltimore might have to be better. A number of greatly improv ed teams, or injuries to front line Birds, seem to be the only things which would make the race close, or dethrone the O's. The Birds, now arriving in Florida, are tough again.
