Smith, Illinois District director of the Small Business administration, an­ nounced a July 29 cutoff date for the acceptance of relief applications from businessmen in 50 Illinois counties included in an Economic Injury Disaster declaration. McHenry county is one of the affected counties. The 50 were declared Economic Injury Disaster (EIDL) areas bv the Denart- ment of Agriculture and Mit­ chell P. Kobelinski, SBA ad­ ministrator. Smith said the bulk of the counties were cited because of a drought which has plagued the state. According to Smith, the declaration authorizes SBA to make or guarantee long-term loans to businesses affected by the disasters. Smith stressed that only businesses are eligible for the SBA aid. "Funds from loans made by or obtained through SBA may be used to provide working capital and pay financial obligations which the borrower would have been able to meet had it not been for the disaster," Smith said. Smith stressed that, to qualify for such a loan, a business must show not only loss of revenue, but must have been placed in a position of some jeopardy as a result of the loss. According to Smith the in­ terest rate on my SBA share of a loan made in this connection is 63* per cent. For further information. Smith urged affected persons to contact a local banker, the SBA district office^at 219 S. Dear­ born street in Chicago, or the SBA branch plfice at the Illinois National Bank building at One North Old State Capital plaza in Springfield. The SBA phone number in Chicago is 312-353- 4528, that in Springfield 217-525-, 4416. In McHenry county, the cause and dates of economic injury are drought, May 1-Aug. 31, 1976. A 120-bed project scheduled to start this month at Phoneix, Ariz., is the first of 13 nursing home care units planned by the Veterans administration through 1980. (By George J. Young, Ex­ tension Adviser,' Agriculture McHenry County, University of Illinois) RODENT CONTROL Because of the excessively dry weather, gardeners are already reporting some mouse feeding on trees and shrubs. All indications point to a severe winter, and when snow covers the ground rodents and rabbits will become more aggressive in their hunt for food. Fruit and ornamental trees as well as shrubs seem to be a prime target for these ptsts so you should plan to protect these plants this winter. Removal (eating) of the bark completely around the trunk or stem of the tree is known as girdling. Complete girdling will kill a plant. Protective measures should be taken now. Trees and shrubs can be protected by wrapping the lower trunk with or V hardware wire, or with plastic tree collars available from garden centers. Form the hardware wire in a tube around the trunk at least 18 inches high and push it into the ground to a depth of 1 and 12 inches. Overlap the wire to allow for further expansion of the tree. If the wire is not removed in spring, be sure not to allow the tree or its roots to grow into the wire. For trees or plants growing in areas where snow tends to drift and build up to unusual depths, the wire may need to be ex­ tended up the trunk beyond 18 inches to prevent rabbits from reaching up and feeding on the bark above the wire protection. Shrub plantings and ground covers are difficult to protect with mechanical barriers. Chemical repellents containing thiram have been effective but may break down during the season and need replacing. If the shortage of food is severe, animals may ignore the bitter taste of the repellent, so periodic inspection is necessary. Mice prefer to feed and rest under cover of vegetation. Elimination of cover around the plants will discourage mice from feeding. Cut the vegetation around the tree trunk for a radius of three feet or more before snow covers the ground. BEST WISHES Best wishes to Don Ahrens, Dennis and Harry Alten Jr., all of Harvard and Henry Boi, i /*- • Woodstock. These officers of the Illinois Vegetable Growers association are in the process of putting together an outstanding educational annual conference program. Their association's conference is set for Jan. 6 and 7 in Champaign. {This is ar) opportunity for commercial vegetable growers from Illinois to get together and share views on opportunities facing their industry as well as review current university production and protection recom­ mendations. McHenry County has approximately 5,000 acres of commercial vegetable production, which is ap­ proximately 33 percent of the total state's fresh market vegetable acreage. CHECK INGREDIENTS Some milk replacers can be good substitutes for whole milk for feeding young dairy calves, depending on the ingredients used. Milk products such as dried skimmed milk or whole milk powders should furnish the bulk of the energy and protein in good milk replacers. The milk replacer should also contain a minimum of 10 percent of animal fat, vitamin A and D supplements, and the necessary minerals. Dicalcium phosphate or a similar high phosphorus mineral can fur­ nish the needed calcium and phosphorus. Trace-mineralized salt is a satisfactory source of supplemental trace minerals. 'ereals, table sugar (sucrose), starch, vegetable proteins and high fiber feeds are generally less satisfactory ingredients of milk replacers. These ingredients are less efficiently utilized than milk products by the calf that is less than 3 weeks old. These feeds may be lower in price than the milk byproducts and it may be tempting to use a higher proportion of such feeds than is best for the animal. Be cautious about buying so called "bargain" priced replacers. They could be satisfactory. But, if they contain a high proportion of the lower priced, but less ef­ ficiently utilized ingredients, calf growth and response may be disappointing. Getting young calves off to a good start is essential. Three nursing home care projects under construction by the Veterans administration will add 300 beds by the end of 1977 . i/A S i Don't Worry About Spreading Fertilizer next Spring WE'LL DO IT FOR YOU RIGHT NOW!
