The primary purpose of this meeting is to offer producers the opportunity to become aware, and better their understanding, of non- point sources of pollution that affects agriculture. The McHenry county 208 Agriculture Advisory com­ mittee will also give an update of 208 Agricultural activities in McHenry county and possible effects on agriculture. The strongest bond of human sympathy, outside of the family,relation, should be one uniting all working people, of all nations, and tongues, and kindreds. Abraham Lincoln 1976 Corn Yield McHenry county's average corn yield for 1976 was com­ puted late last week by the Illinois Crop Reporting service at 92.5 bushels per acre for a total production of 11,745,800 bushels. The 1976 total corn production for the county is second highest in history to the 12,674,200 bushel production in 1975. Of course, to achieve this near record production required a record high acreage of corn for grain in 1976 at 127,000. The acreage in 1975 was second high at 124,200 acres of corn for grain. The 1976 average yield for McHenry county is 1.3 bushels higher than the five year average yield of 91.2 bushels per acre. There was less rainfall than average during the 1976 growing season but some areas in the county did receive timely showers and farmers went into the 1976 season with a good soil moisture reserve. They are going into the 1977 season without a soil moisture reserve. The Crop Reporting service plans to release data on soybeans in approximately two weeks. SECTION 2 - PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2,1177 Don't attempt to prune away this damage early. Allow the plant to make as much new growth as possible. Then do corrective and regular maintenance pruning in early July or after new growth matures. A light fertilization with a high nitrogen fertilizer such as one with an analysis of 10-6-4 for N, P and K in late March or early April will help stimulate new growth. Watering this spring if the soil is dry will also help. Work-Study The National 4-H center is looking for farms to place young Polish farmers on for this twelve month work-study program.

Farm Visits The Agriculture Extension council is moving ahead in their plans to offer a farm visit op­ portunity to the public on June 26.

Bob and Dave Gardner of Solon Mills are making plans to host seventy-five youngsters from Chicago on their farm.

Cold And Insects The frigid days in December and January were hard on humans and livestock, and recent University of Illinois research indicates that these low temperatures have un­ doubtedly caused some corn rootworm egg mortality But, their conclusion is that it probably isn't enough to eliminate the potential for rootworm damage in 1977. Treat Split Tree Trunks • Extreme cold temperatures have caused some tree trunks to split. Sycamore, Tulip Poplar and Locust have been most seriously and frequently affected. Anyone having a tree that has split, wait until warmer weather before attempting to repair it. If the tree is young and growing rapidly, it will probably heal itself. But if the tree is severely damaged or is a mature tree, the trunk may need to be bolted together. Use one-half inch diameter bolt stock. Bolt stock is a completely threaded rod, allowing for tightening from each end Remove any dead or damaged bark along the split. When the split is closed be sure the surface is clean and smooth to promote quick healing. A sharp wood chisel can be used to smooth the surface and clean away damaged bark. If a large wound is left, cover it with a tree wound dressing. The tree should repair itself in one or two growing seasons. Damaged Evergreens Evergreens and yews suf­ fered greatly this winter. Young growth was frozen, dried, and killed by the high winds and sub-zero tem­ peratures. This damage can be seen now, but will become more evident later this spring. W h e n p o l i t i c i a n s agree, the angels may re­ joice but the voters just wonder what's cooking. -Glove, Boston. Kitchen Cabinet & \fcinity Sale!
