/ f - From The Farm =====^^ras?!!5!B!^ipS. \ GREEN CLOVERWORMS Green cloverworms are present in may fields of soybeans. Some fields are being damaged and need treatment, but the potential for more widespread damage exists. Many small worms (green and threadlike and V8 to i, inch long and large worms 3/4 inch long) can be found and many more may yet hatch. Continue to check your soybean fields that are between bloom and full-pot develop­ ment, and if you find 4 or more worms (half-grown worms or larger) per foot of row, treatment is justified. An alternate method is to apply an insecticide when 20 percent or more of the foliage has been eaten and the worms are still present. For control, apply carbaryl (Sevin) or malathion at 1 pound per acre as sprays over the foliage. This would be 2 pound carbaryl or one quart malathion per acre. FEEDERS' DAYS Reports on storing, processing and utilizing corn for beef cattle rations highlight the upcoming University of Illinois Cattle Feeders' day. Cattle Feeders' day is scheduled for Aug. 30 at the Farm Bureau auditorium, DeKalb. The program will start at 10 a.m. and last until 3 p.m. Weichenthal will evaluate recent tests on the feeding value of high-moisture corn. He'll also report results of a recent feeding trial at the U. of I.'s Dixon Springs Agricultural center in which heavy Holstein steers were fed dry whole or cracked corn and were im­ planted with Synovex, Ralgro or DES. Other topics on the morning program include corn types and treatments, steer crossbreeding programs and worm control for feedlot cattle. In the afternoon, producers will get information on the beef and grain outlook for 1974. And Weichenthal says a panel of U. of I. and local veterinarians will discuss feedlot diseases and health programs. The information planned for the Cattle Feeders'"d&y' program is designed to help keep profits up where they belong. And there will be plenty of time for producers to get answers to their questions. OAT VARIETY YIELDS The 1973 Oat Variety plot yields were low this year due to late planting, excess rain, crown rust, yellow dwarf and extreme heat at flowering. Here are the oat yields from the U. of I. experimental field at DeKalb.

STRENGTH, SECURITY, EXPERIENCE Services and Mental Health Administration. Research in recent years has indicated that, while an initial asthma attack may have a physiological root cause, chil­ dren often associate the attack with emotional or situational events occurring around the same time. Within a short time, social- psychological events such as change of environment or emo­ tional excitation may trigger the majority of attacks that children suffer. In the new study, the scien­ tists hope to train asthmatic children to control the con­ striction and dilation of the broncial tubes into the lungs. Aided by encouragement and reassurance, a child will breathe into a specially de­ signed instrument equipped with a light signal to inform the child that he has been able to increase his peak flow of air. In early stages of the train­ ing, medication will be used if necessary to assist the children to 'dilate their broncial pas­ sages. Gradually, the medica­ tion will be decreased until the children can be told that they are successfully producing* bronchodilation on their own. At this point, they will be asked to practice the new skill as "homework." Carefully screened young asthma patients whose lung and broncial tissue has not yet been damaged by the illness are participating in the project. PAGE 19 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, AUGUST 31.1973 LOUISA'S LETTER Dear Louisa, Everyone is worrying about the decadence of fam­ ily life but I think it is im­ portant for those of us who know how much a good fam­ ily can mean to its members to speak up and say so. It is wonderful to live in a town where there are parents and grandparents and uncles and aunts. There is always some where to go if you are lone­ ly. I'll admit that sometimes they worry you by calling too much and interfering with your plans but you know it is because they love you and are interested in what you do. And if you get sick or need help there is always someone to call on in an emergency. So I think we should in­ still in our children as they^ grow up,how much the mem­ bers of a family can mean to each other if they are willing to give and take and be hon­ est and unselfish with one another. What do you think about this? J.P.--Iowa Answer: I think good family rela­ tions are very important. I read an article several days ago quoting a survey made by a couple, concerning the happiness of people, and their conclusion was that the families who were hap­ piest were the ones who worked together and discuss­ ed decisions. This included father, mother and children. Occasionally an older mem­ ber can contribute ideas, that they have learned by experience, to be helpful. Yes, I'm definitely for good family life. Louisa. Address letters: Louisa, Box 532. Orangeburg, S.C. 29115 Dear Louisa, My father was one of three children and when his father father died he was the only one of the three who could run the farm and attend to his mother's business so she told him if he would give up his place and bring his family to live with her and take care of her until she died the place would then belong to him. Well, this was agreeable with the other two children as the farm was not worth much at that time and neither of them could take care of their mother. My father was a hard work­ er and very smart and he has made the farm a very valu­ able piece of land so the problem is this: The other two think that they should share in the pro­ ceeds if it is sold or that my father should pay them for what they consider their shares. What do you think about this'? Daughter--N.C. Answer: A bargain between people is something that should be kept regardless of whether it was verbal and written. But it is always safer to have such contracts in black and white. If your father had not taken over the farm and had worked for himself, the other children would have realized very little from its sale, as his mother's care would have cost that amount and much m$re before she died. The moral of this to al­ ways have contracts written and signed and not depend on word of mouth. Louisa. Address letters: Louisa, Box 532. Orangeburg, S.C. 29115 Once, the moon affected just the tide and untied. Now, taxes, too. In winter, kids lose gloves and coats, instead of towels and balls. Another vacation lesson: no resort lives up to those colored post cards.
