Town-Country Tips by David Plocher, Extension Service 338-3737 - 338-4747 County Ahead of State • Ac­ cording to figures out from the Illinois Cooperative Crop Reporting service and my observations during a trip to Southern Illinois last weekend, we are far ahead of most areas of Illinois in corn and soybean planting. In McHenry county, I estimate 90 percent of the corn and 70 percent of the soybeans are planted at this time though the state figures are more like 50 percent of the corn and 10 percent of the soybeans. Driving across the state from St Louis to Chicago. I observed little corn up and a large amount of the land is not even plowed as of yet. They have abundant moisture for sure. Soybean Variety Plot Planted - Alian Cosman donated the time to put this years soybeap variety plot on his farm. Twenty three varieties were seeded on May 25. __ _ The plot is just wesut'of Oleson Rd, onTomlinjtd , ifrMarengo township. A twilight meeting to compare the varieties previous to harvest will be held in July. Crust-Busting - If corn is having a hard time getting out of the ground because of heavy crusting, rotary hoeing will help break the crust, aid emergence and control weeds. Weeds should be in the white stage-just barely poking through the ground. Be sure to maintain an 8 to 12 mph speed and weight the hoe to allow penetration. Conditions Favor Black Cut­ worms - When talking with Don Kuhlman, University of Illinois Extension entomologist this week he said that black cut­ worm larvae were spotted in south-central Illinois fields recently. The worms were half to :,4 grown and were found under clumps of chickweed. Don explained that the wet spring, late planting season and weedy fields are all factors that favor cutworm infestation Fortunately we are much better off than most areas of Illinois in this respect. We should watch though for damage in fields where chick- weed and other broadleaf weeds were in bloom in the past few weeks. Cutworm moths often find these fields at­ tractive for laying their eggs. There has not been a major outbreak of cutworms in Illinois for several years, but the insect can devastate in­ dividual fields. Summer Orchard Field Day - The Tanner Orchard, 20 miles north of Peoria on Illinois 88, will host the 1978 Summer Orchard Field day, June 8. This commercial fruit growers program is sponsored by the Illinois State Horticultural Society and the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension Service. Registration and viewing of exhibitors start at 9:30 a.m. Highlights of the day include demonstrations of sprayers, mowers and other equipment, visiting the cold storage retail sales facilities, cider production equipment and hearing how John Tanner and^ his sons Harold and Richard operate their retail sales stand and a pick-your-own market.
