PAGE 12-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1971 From The Farm CORN STORAGE Storage space for corn and soybeans will be tighter in some areas of Illinois than originally anticipated, says Les Slice. University of Illinois Extension economist in grain marketing As a result, the gross returns for storing 1971 corn will almost certainly be 15 to 2fi cents a bushel and possibly more. Corn prices to farmers at the beginning of harvest already j^ro 9(1 to 95 cents a bushel, and frnay go lower if storage space sets tight With a record Siumbcr of farmers eligible for J he loan, and the market below Jthe loan by about the cost of storage, a great deal of 1971 torn that gets sealed under (government loan will need to be Redeemed for market use prior jo the 1972 corn harvest. This process will raise market {trices to 10 to 15 cents over the oan rate, or about $1.15 to $1.20 p bushel, some time during the ;l971 1972 storage season j Some of this price recovery jnay come fairly soon after harvest, depending upon our Export sales HARVEST SEASON \ The end of the harvest season means the end of a year for fmany Illinois farmers. But ^harvest season marks the --beginning of next year's crop 'year as well Harvest time is hhe time to evaluate your .cropping program A careful (look at crop conditions and lyields can help you plan your ; 1972 cropping program. Earmers often pay too much {attention to failures or cropping imstakes and neglect to •evaluate crop successes. ^Knowing why a crop was a uccess is just as important as nowing why a crop failed Was good weed control the result of the proper com­ bination of weather and her­ bicides0 Or was it because you got into the field with your rotary hoe at just the right time Dry weather hurt far­ mers in some areas of Illinois this year. Planting dates, population, weed control, variety, fertility and soil management during [seedbed preparation and planting all have a great in­ fluence on how moisture is used. Determining which of these factors made the difference in crop results can help you plan for 1972 BULB PLANTING TIME Plant tulip, hyacinth, nar­ cissus and crocus bulbs this fall for an eye-pleasing show of color next spring A new planting will almost certainly give you the high quality these plants are noted for. You can also achieve good results with old. well-cared-for plantings. Eull sunlight and good drainage are among the keys to success in growing these llowers. Eor extra performance, add a pound of garden fertilizer (10- 10-10 10-6-4) for each 100 square feet of flower bed. Group plantings of 8 to 10 bulbs or more create an at tractive clump when you use a single color Plan your plan­ tings to develop a clump effect , rather than rows. darkness. Probably the best storage available to the home gardener is the refrigerator. Place apples in a plastic bag and close it loosely or punch a few small holes in it for slow air exchange The plastic bag will prevent dehydration. Winter apples such as Winesap and Rome Beauty are the best keepers Jonathan, Red Delicious, and Golden Delicious have shorter storage life. As for pears, leave the pears to* ripen on the tree for best quality and flavor. Store pears in a cool, dark place such as a cellar, old refrigerator, crawl space or unheated basement. rains and the natural lawn mulch provide a natural combination for seed ger­ mination. APPLE STORAGE Now that everyone has started to harvest their apples, it's time to plan for storing them The ideal storage con ditions for apples are 33 degrees Fahrenheit, 90 percent humidity ancT~s~ubdued light or "THIN" LAWNS At this time of year some lawns appear "thin"' and others may have large brown spots in them Thin lawns require only fertilizer to thicken the turf stand. • „ . If you have large bare spots, you can use Prato, Windsor or Eylking bluegrass for sun areas and Penn Lawn Creeping Red Fescue for shaded areas. Fall * IT'S A FACT Much of the information the public gets on farm subsidies is deceptive. In fact, farmers receive slightly less than half of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's expenditures. About 51 percent went to non- farmers in the form of services which are of primary benefit to the general public. Over $1.64 billion - nearly one fifth of USDA's total expenditures - went for food distribution programs which are more public welfare than/ aid to farmers.
