Filing hours are between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday. By Order Of The Board of Education of said School District. Anna Mae Cuda. Secretary Board of Education School District 15 ' (Pub. Feb 19, 1975) Legal Notice The Board of Education of School District 15 will receive sealed bids on 1974 Tax An­ ticipation Warrants until 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, March 6, 1975, at the District 15 Ad­ ministration Office, 3926 W. Main St., McHenry, Illinois. Looking For Roost - The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is conducting a survey to determine the locations of winter blackbird-starling roosts in Illinois. The in­ formation will be used as part of a nation-wide survey of large roosts to estimate blackbird- starling problems. We ask your help in gathering this in­ formation If you know of a large blackbird-starling roost in your neighborhood, would you please call our office in Woodstock, 338-3737 or 337-4747. We will pass the information to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Fertilizer Program I was helping a farmer interpret his soil test last week and he commented when we got to lab results of one farm that he was really disappointed in corn yields on tnat tract of land. The The Board of Education reserves the right to reject any and or all bids, waive any bid technicalities and award the bid in the best interest of School District 15. Anna Mae Cuda, Secy. Board of Education (Pub. Feb. 19, 1975) phosphorus test (Pi) and Potassium test (K) were both already well above the level believed to be needed. Because of this I would not expect any yield increase from an ap­ plication of these nutrients this year. In the past the farmer had been supplying more than enough nitrogen to grow larger crops than he was harvesting, and. his pH test was at the suggested level so he did not need to apply limestone. We looked at the soil map for this farm and after determinng the major soil types we looked up what University of Illinois Agronomists estimate typical corn yields to be under a high level of management on these soils. Lo - and - behold, he was already growing five bushels per acre more than we would expect him to on these soil types. From this information, he reset his yield goal for this farm and decided to adjust his nitrogen application rate. He will use the excess nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium he originally planned for this farm on another farm where the combination of soil types and soil test indicate it is more likely to bring him increased yields. The point is, that to make informed fertility decisions, you need to start with a soil test. Call me for details of how to take soil samples and what to do with them. There is a charge of approximately 90 cents per soil sample for the service of a commercial laboratory. I recommend approximately 11 samples per forty acres. Each Qf these samples should be a composite of 5 samples. So in a forty-acre field you will take 55 soil samples, and after com­ bining them you send 11 samples to the lab. Thus the cost is about 25 cents per acre. You should plan to retest your soil every four or five years. This means soil testing costs about 5 cents per acre per year. I will help you interpret the laboratory results and since I am a staff member of the University of Illinois, there is no charge for my service. Foreign Weed Pests - The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) now has authority to deal with the more than 1,400 species of foreign weed pests that are a potential threat to American agriculture. New legislation -- the Federal Noxious Weed Act -- authorizes USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to make inspections at ports of entry, to begin surveys within the United States, to take eradication measures if a noxious weed is found, and to take quarantine actions as necessary to prevent the spread of weed pests. The new law is similar to the Plant Quarantine Act of 1912 and the Federal Plant Pest Act of 1957 -- laws under which APHIS prevents the entry of foreign insects, plant diseases, and nematodes into the United States. Agronomy Handbooks are available at our office. This 73- page reference book covers planting dates, planting rates, varieties, fertility, weed control and much more for corn, soybeans, wheat oats, triticale, barley, hay, and pasture. You can get your copy by calling us or stopping by our office in the old courthouse on the Square in Woodstock. Decision Making - Today's farmer uses more brain-power than muscle-power. Electric motors and internal com' bustion engines furnish "muscle-power" far cheaper than human labor. But har­ nessing this power means higher cash investments. More farmers each year enroll in the Illinois Farm Business Farm Management association for help in making wise investment decisions. There are twenty-six McHenry county farmers who cooperate in this University of Illinois program. We have details at our office on how you can enroll in this educational- service program. Dairy Grading - If you are a dairyman, you'll be interested in a new pamphlet from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The pamphlet details USDA grading and inspection services that are available to the dairy industry on a voluntary, cost-for-service basis. The services are plant surveys, inspection and grading, laboratory testing, and quality control. Single copies of the pamphlet are available on request from the Office of Communications, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. 20520. Ask for Marketing Bulletin 48 (MB 48), "Dairy Inspection and Grading Services." Include ZIP code with your name and address.

We still need to find a field that has been in corn two or more years and has not received a Furadan ap­ plication. Stored Corn? - If you have corn in the bin, periodically check it. With the warm stretch of weather, some corn will go out of condition and spoil. Even dry corn may develop hot spots around concentration of fine material. Probe your bins and know what is going on. Too much is at stake not to know the condition of your stored corn. From Dorothy M. Seeley, Trum­ bull, Connecticut: I remember Christmas on the farm when I was a little girl. My father, my sister Evelyn and I went into our woods and picked out a cedar tree the day before. Pa cut it down and threw it across his shoulder. Ma had a wood fire going in the parlor stove when Pa set the tree up in the corner of the room. Evelyn and I brought down our old or­ naments from the attic, then pop­ ped corn and strung it with cran­ berries to decorate the tree. We cut red cheesecloth into little squares and sewed around them with green worsted, making a draw string at the top. We filled them with fudge Ma had made the day before and hung them on the tree. The next morning we were up early to look at our stockings we had hung by the fireplace the Consumers' Corner FURNITURE GUIDELINES New guidelines for the fur­ niture industry have been issued by the Federal Trade Com­ mission. As a result consumers should be better able to know what they are viewing when they browse for furniture. The guide demands detailed disclosure of furniture materials. Manufacturers are now required to reveal if plastic, vinyl, or mar­ ble dust is used to simulate wood, leather, or marble. If constructed with veneer, a furniture piece must be labeled as such. A major provision of the guide is aimed at eliminating the com­ mon retail practice of removing manufacturer's tags and labels, which tell information about con­ struction and composition of the furniture. Terms such as Chinese Chip­ pendale, Mediterranean and French Provincial are permitted to describe furniture styleis. However, unqualified names of countries may not be used. For example, Danish-style furniture, manufactured in the U.S., may not be labeled "Danish." Instead, it must be described as "Danish- style." Furniture advertisers' claims must be backed by testing which is run by qualified individuals. Generalizations about such testing must be displayed in terms easily understood by the consumer. night before. In the toe was a big orange, a great delicacy when I was young. Also, several English walnuts in their shells and one useful gift such as a pair of stockings or gloves. 1 shall never forget the delightful aroma of the cedar tree as we gathered around it after breakfast. We opened our presents and later we drove to our grandparent's home where we had Christmas dinner and spent the rest of the da v.
