Notice NOTICE Public Notice is hereby given that on April 21st, A.D. 1976, a certificate was filed in the Office of the County Clerk of Clean Air Week Observed Clean Air Week - being observed for the first time in May under the sole auspices of the American Lung association -- was initiated in October, 1949 by, the Air Pollution Control association to recall the nation's first documented ?ir pollution tragedy at Donora, Pa., in which 6,000 became ill and twenty died. Dirty air can break down the defenses of the lungs and breathing system, making people more susceptible to acute respiratory illnesses (colds, influencza, pneumonia) and contributing to chronic diseases (emphysema, chronic bronchitis, asthma, lung cancer, and heart disease). Polluted air can kill people who already have respiratory or heart ailments, holding a special threat for children and the elderly. A total of $5 billion in medical bills aloife is paid by the American people as part of a total annual cost of at least $12 billion, attributed to air pollution, "Lung Alert" is the theme of this year's Clean Air week, and gives fair warning to our citizens that we must work together to clean up the at­ mosphere. To carry out the "Lung Alert" theme nation-wide, lung associations are sponsoring a Clean Air Essay contest and sponsoring bicycle races and other cycling events in cooperation with the United States Cycling federation, arranging conferences, discussion groups, scheduling talks by authorities, en­ couraging car pooling, and in many other ways stimulating awareness of the hazards of air pollution.

You can't control that, but you can control other factors that will affect the potential of your crop to respond to weather, says George Young, University of Illinois Extension adviser in McHenry county. These include choice of variety, choice of seed quality, planting rate, planting depth, row width, and fertility. Other factors that will influence yield, but over which you may not have complete control, include date of planting and harvesting losses, says Young Weather sometimes interferes with these. Two factors, more than any others, hold down potential soybean yields in McHenry county. They are depth of planting and row width. Spotty stands are often due to deep planting, says Young. Soybeans do not have the same ability as corn to emerge from under three to four inches of soil. Herbicide injury may also result from or be aggravated by deep planting. The advantage of planting soybeans in narrow rows was demonstrated as early as 1913, says Young. Illinois Ex­ periment Station Bulletin 310 reported the results of row- width studies conducted in 1913, 1914 and 1915. Soybeans planted in 21-inch rows produced best. This ad­ vantage of narrow rows has been reconfirmed many times since 1913. Weed control is the key to how narrow you should plant soybeans. Solid-seeded (drilled) soybeans out-produce wider rows when weeds are held in check. by Illinois Attorney General William J. Scott Near the Mackinaw river...in Tazewell county...right about in the middle of the Peoria, Bloomington, Springfield triangle...lies a town with the peaceful name of Hopedale: population 950 persons. Driving along Illinois 121...running into Illinois 122...you'll also run into Hopedale. But what if you weren't...to run into Hopedale? What if the village of Hopedale suddenly ceased to be...its 950 citizens vanished? The point? That's about the number of people who, in the National Safety council's preliminary report, were killed in bicycle accidents nation­ wide in 1975: The equivalent of one small Illinois town, wiped out. And the N.S.C. says the final figure probably will be higher...even higher than 1974's final figure of 1,000 killed nation-wide. And we're not talking about motorcycles in that figure; simply human- powered pedal cycles. As we prepare for spring and summer cycling, let's prepare our bicycles -- and our minds - for safety. Illinois law requires that any bicycle you ride MUST have: 1. Brakes which are good enough to cause a tire to skid on a dry, level, clear pavement. 2. A horn or bell which can be heard up to 1,000 feet away. (Sirens or whistles are NOT allowed.) 3. And, for riding at night: * a. A head lamp which will cast a white light visible for at least 500 feet. (An average city block is about 300 feet long, so the lamp should be clearly seen for more than a block and one- half.) b. A clear reflex reflector on the FRONT of the bicycle visible in front. c. A RED reflex reflector, mounted on the rear of the bicycle and clearly visible in the rear, j If you pvwtfhased your bicycle new after July 1, 1973, you should have found additional seller-installed safety devices as required by law, including pedal reflectors and side reflectors. With your bicycle in shape, it's time to prepare your mind -- before you take to the roads or bikepaths. In' Illinois, each bicyclist must obey all traffic laws and traffic regulatory devices, including all traffic control signals, traffic signs, and pavement markings. A person "driving" a bicycle must, therefore, observe the same traffic laws as a^person driving a car or other motor vehicle. And if he doesn't, he can be stopped by a law officer just like a motorist who is disobeying a traffic law. Also, some cities and towns have special bicycling regulations. Know what the local rules are where you live, and obey them. Some other things to remember: 1. Never stunt ride, ride on snow or ice. or hitch your bike to another moving vehicle. 2. Always ride in single file when riding with other bicyclists. 3 Don't carry passengers. Earlier maturing 'Varieties such as Wells. Corsoy. Amsov 71. and Beeson will perform better in narrow rows than later varieties such as Williams and Cutler 71. However, the advantage for planting these later varieties in narrow rows still justifies ihe expense and effort This is particularly true if planting is delayed past early- June. says Young Cooperative Extension Service Circular 1117 reports the results of the 1975 Com­ mercial Soybean Performance Trials in Illinois. Sixty-five private varieties and blends were planted at one or more of six test locations Each location had two or more public varieties (USD A developed) which you can use as a yard­ stick for comparison Young recommends using high-quality seed . And remember that the "eye ball" test is not always a good measure of seed quality. You can observe some of the problems that reduce seed quality. An example is the «36$XS36M6XS636S6XS6SXS6XXS363696XX$$XS6StXXX3a6X36S6»06aC Consumer Forum unless the passenger is a small child for whom a proper bike seat has been installed. This seat should have a seat belt or lap restraint, and if it fits over a fender, it should have sturdy shields to protect the child's legs and feet from spokes. 4. If you need to carry items with you while you bike, you should have a front or rear carrier installed. 5. Wear light colored clothing when riding at night. 6. Use guard clips on trouser cuffs. 7. Use official bike paths whenever possible. 8. Always be alert for pedestrians and for sudden moves by drivers and other cyclists around you. 9. In passing rows of cars, be alert. A motorist may suddenly open his car door on the street side. This could cause you to collide with the door, or may force you to swerve into the path of other traffic. 10. Watch for drivers making right turns. The driver may not have seen you and may turn in front of you. One final word: Parents and guardians, Illinois law makes you responsible for your bicycling children. The Illinois State Vehicle Code states, "The parent of any child and the guardian of any ward shall not authorize or knowingly permit any such child or ward to violate any provision of this Act." I wish you a safe bicycling spring and summer. Remember to put your mind in safety gear before you put your bicycle in motion! presence of objectionable seed borne diseases such as purple stain or downy mildew You can also estimate the amount of cracked seed coats But there are seed-borne diseases and other 'factors affecting quakLy that are not so obvious v lxx>k for seed that has scored high on a germination test, says Young The average ger­ mination of almost 3.000 samples of seed tested in the Illinois Crop Improvement association laboratory is 85 percent So there should be no problem in finding seed of good quality " But don't take good quality for granted Some seed lots that look good test well below 85 percent More growers probably plant too much seed than fob little, says Young High population usually results in excessive lodging And lodging normally cuts vields and increases harvesting losses Research shows that a plant every one and one half inches in 38- to 40-inch rows and every two inches "in 30-inch rows is about optimum. How much you need to overplant to get this many surviving plants will depend a lot on how deep you plant. A plant loss of 20 to 30 percent is about normal.
