PAGE 17 - PLAINDEALflR - WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1975 Extension Comments (By George J. Young, Agriculture Extension Adviser, McHenry County) Green Cloverworms - are still in many McHenry county soybean fields, but their populations have remained below the economic treatment level in all but one of the fields I have inspected. To check for the presence of these worms, bend a plant over the middle of the row and shake it vigorously over a newspaper placed between the rows. Normally, 6 large worms ( of an inch or more) per foot of row, are considered damaging. The bloom and the pod set and fill stages are the most critical stages of plant development. From pod set to pod fill, a 15 percent defoliation will result in a yield loss of about 2.5 percent. Producers should watch their soybean fields closely for the next few weeks. World liairy Expo - will be held Oct. 1-5 in Madison, Wis. Dairy cattle shows, workshops, equipment displays, programs for women and entertainment are also part of this in­ ternational show for dairy farmers. Busy Summer - In eight years of working with the University of Illinois, this has been the busiest summer yet for garden and tree questions. Some vegetable gardeners have called me after they applied a pesticide that was not labeled for the use they put it to. When a chemical is misused this way, a lot of hard work goes down the drain. Do read and follow directions on pesticide con­ tainers. Shade tree questions now are mostly concerned with defoliation. Don't be over concerned with an early leaf drop or defoliation caused by chewing or sucking insects. The leaf buds that will form the new leaves next spring are already developed and this means the tree will leaf out as normal. You can help these trees get off to a good start next spring by feeding them either in November or early spring. " One method of adding these needed nutrients is to drill holes with a one or two inch soil auger 12 to 18 inches deep and 18 inches from each other. With small trees, 8 inches in diameter and under, start the holes two feet away from the trunk. With trees above 8 in­ ches in diameter, start the holes at a distance from the trunk equal to 4 feet plus 1 foot for each inch of diameter beyond 8. (holes for a 12 inch tree would start at 8 feet, for a 15 inch tree, at 11 feet.). For trees under 8 inches in diameter, when using a 10-6-4 fertilizer, apply 5 pounds of fertilizer per inch of trunk diameter (measured 3 or 4 feet above ground). Distribute the fertilizer evenly in the holes. When using a 20-10-5 fertilizer, apply 21- pounds per inch of trunk diameter. For trees over 8 inches in diameter, double these rates. Thus, when fer­ tilizing a tree 6 inches in diameter with a 10-6-4 fer­ tilizer, you would apply a total of 30 pounds in the holes you had drilled beneath the tree (6- inch diameter x 5 pounds of fertilizer equals 30 pounds total applied). Education Meetings - We an­ nounce our Extension education meetings in McHenry county through news releases to sixteen newspapers and radio stations. We also mail meeting announcements directly to the audience the meeting is aimed at. Our mailing lists are divided by Home Hobbyist Faces Numerous Vision Hazards The home hobbyist often finds great joy and challenge in his workshop, but usually disregards basic eye safety practices necessary to safeguard his vision. The National Society for the Prevention of Blindness warns hobbyists and do-it-yourself fans of some of the threats to eyesight found in the home workshop. "Power tools are especially dangerous," says James O'Neil, who is the Director of Industrial Services for the Society. "These include table saws and portable saws, particularly the chain type." O'Neil advises that when using such work-saving devices the hobbyist should wear an inexpensive pair of plastic pover goggles which will fit comfortably even over streetwear eyeglasses. Drilling, an important aspect of home repair, poses an even more potent threat to vision. Fragments of metal, wood and broken drill bits can fly with tremendous speed and hit the commodity and enterprise interest. We developed these lists last winter when we mailed a listing of the thirty newsletters available from our office and the Urbana campus, to the 1,500 names on the county ASCS farm operators' list. We also distributed this listing of newsletters to persons con­ tacting our office for assistance for the first time. If you want to receive our mailings, just ask us to send you the listing of newsletters, and sign up for those that interest you. Only two of the thirty newsletters have a charge. Our mailing lists are protected by law, in that we can not give them or sell them. face and eyes with enormous impact. Safety goggles should be donned before starting any drilling or other workshop project. Nailing presents yet another serious threat to eyesight. Before serious hammering gets under w->y, make sure the nails are properly set so that they won't spin off. "Nails not properly set before hammering begins can spin off, puncture an eye - even cause a fatal injury, should they reach the brain," O'Neil warned. "A $2.00 goggle can prevent death as well as loss of sight." Soldering is another task that .poses a danger for unguarded eyes. A drop of perspiration hitting molten solder generates steam which will spit metal droplets in all directions. Hot metal often adheres to the eye, causing an extremely painful injury. Caution is also advised when using epoxy and other "super" glues! Used in making and repairing furniture and other household items, these glues can be harmful to the eyes, and even the respiratory system. What should you do if despite wearing a cover goggle, lye or other chemicals or strong detergents gets into the eyes? O'Neil advises immediate and copious flushing with cool water for at least 15 minutes. Following such first aid a victim is advised to get medical attention. "More and more hardware stores and mill supply houses are selling safety eyewear," O'Neil remarked, "but if the SHARES HOBBY - Barbara Krebs shares with her adopted sister, Sudha Paramen, the latter's interest in stamp collecting. Sudha, an American Field Service student from Malaysia, brought her collection to McHenry. She will live with the Warren Krebs family, 2105 W. Country lane, Eastwood Manor, for the next year.

Martin Extra leisure time this summer can be put to good use brushing up on a few subjects. There are lots of mail order instruction courses available today, but while most are reliable, use caution before you sign a contract. All kinds of courses are available. University ex­ tension. formal high school and college credit courses and home study programs in almost any subject. When something interests you, don't rush into a decision you cannot back out of. Many times, the simple coupons found in magazines actually contain contractual language obligating you to pay un­ disclosed registration and tuition fees. And once you have signed, you are legally bound to pay. Read everything carefully, and if there is something you do not un­ derstand, do not sien it. If there is information about fees and tuition, read all the small print and watch out for stores you shop in don't carry it, check industrial Equipment and Supplies' and 'Safety Devices' listings in the classified pages of your' telephone directory." Or check with the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness or one of its local affiliates. language which leaves the door open for additional charges. Often advertisers make statements about open job markets and the tremendous need for graduates of their course. If you are looking for a career, contact companies in the field and find out from them their requirements and their opinion of the value of the course you are considering Just remember.
