Pj^gElSjfi^INDgAL^ * t Check Soil, Soybean Deaths (Town & Country Tips by Dave Plocher) Make Soil Tests Now - Soil Resting is the only reliable \ means of predicting fertilizer ; heeds, so plan to check your ^ soils for pH, phosphorus and potassium. Remember that soil tests not only determine if you need to apply fertilizers but if ft's time to readjust your fer­ tility program because the test results show adequate levels. If soil tests show more than 65 pounds per acre of phosphorus, you don't need to use phosphorus again until you retest in three or four years. Likewise, if they show more than 400 pounds per acre of ^^potassium, no more ap­ plications will be needed until •""you retest. ; 1 The pH test results should fall ^between 6.0 and 7.3 with 6.0 to ',6.2 ideal. If 7.3 or higher, watch out for potential micronutrient . problems. Under 6.0, add lime. *~i.. Other tests are available for secondary nutrients and 'micronutrients, but these are *'iiot as reliable as those for the "major nutrients. 'Check for Soybean Diseases - Check your fields now for diseases moving on the leaves and stems so you can decide whether to use a spray ap­ plication to protect soybean pods and developing seed. Look for diseases such as pod and stem blight, stem canker, anthracnose, purple seed satin (Cercospora leaf spot or blight) and Septoria brown spot. In general, weather con­ ditions have been extremely favorable for these diseases, which can cut yields 10 to 15 percent. Seed producers should consider using foliar fungicide sprays (Benlate or Mertect 340F) to help ensure high- quality seed from the 1979 crop. This may be particularly im­ portant if wet conditions prevail in September. Grasshoppers - Quite a few homeowners have been calling in about grasshoppers. They are growing larger and becoming more of a nuisance. Controlling the grasshoppers now that they have achieved the size they have is a problem. The best size for controlling is when they are half grown. You may wish to try the insecticide car bar yl, but be sure to follow all label directions and precautions. Color Code for Safety - As a farm grows, so does the farm workshop, and so does the number of hazards. Ordie Hogsett, University of Illinois Extension safety specialist, is encouraging farmers to implement the DuPont Safety color code. It is a way to alert farmers and other workers to shop hazards. Many industries follow the DuPont System color code. It can adapt to the farm workshop. Here is how to use it. -Mark stumbling, falling or tripping hazards with "high visibility yellow." Use it on trucking equipment, low beams, railings, loading bucket, stairway approaches and protruding parts. Also use yellow to mark eye hazards, such as machinery that may release flying par­ ticles. -*«, -Mark equipment that can injure a worker-whether it cuts, crushes or electrocutes- with "alert orange." You can also use it on the insides of fuse boxes and power boxes. . -Use "safety green" to highlight first-aid equipment, medicine cabinets and equipment such as stretchers, gas mask containers and respirator containers. -Mark fire fighting equip­ ment with "fire protection red." This includes ex­ tinguishers, hoses, hose con­ nections, hydrants, fire blankets and alarm stations. -Use "precaution blue' on electrical controls and equipment under repair. Resist Gypsy Moth Outbreak 1 Over 2,000 gypsy moth traps J Were placed recently in • McHenry, Lake and Cook !, counties as part of a stepped-up ] trapping program designed to | halt apparant inroads made by <! the pest in the Chicago area | last year. U- Statewide, the number of llypsy moth traps c /set *was increased to 11,250, as Compared to 9,000 last year and " 8,000 in 1977. State and local forestry and agriculture officials se_t most of the red or orange prism shaped traps which are sup­ plied by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Last year, 17 moths were found in Cook, Lake and McHenry counties, and an infestation of the moth was documented in McHenry county where 9 moths were caught within a one-mile radius of McHenry. 25 traps per square mile will be placed. The gypsy moth has destroyed about 18 million acres of forest in New England in the past 50 years, according to Illinois Department of Conservation forester Elmer ,^erhane, and now seems to be moving into the Midwest. Both J Wisconsin and Michigan have been more seriously affected so far by the moth than has Illinois. Trapping for the moth on a random, statewide basis has been going on in Illinois for several years, according to Norm Seaborg, an en- tymologist with the Illinois Department of Agriculture, who is coordinator for the battle against the gypsy moth in Illinois. Wherever moths are found, more intensive trapping has gone into effect in order to document a possible in­ festation, Seaborg said. The prism shaped cardboard traps work because they contain a powerful synthetic sex lure for the male moths. The traps are merely stapled to trees and are clearly recognizable. Seaborg said. The moth itself, however, is not so easily identified. It is either light brown (male) or white (female) and is quite ordinary in appearance. Trapping is done during the summer between early July and middle August when the gypsy moth is in the moth stage. The pest actually does its damage to trees by eating foliage while in the caterpillar stage during the spring, he said. As a potential threat to hardwood forests, the gypsy moth is more of a problem than Dutch elm disease, Seaborg believes, because it is not host specific as is the elm blight and will eat almost any type of foliage. "Not Guilty" Plea In Pornography Case The Lake y, Geneva J man charged with pornography, John R. Spargo, 30, plead not guilty in 19th Judicial Circuit court, Woodstock, Monday morning. Spargo was arrested in mid- August at McHenry dam state park for allegedly showing a photo album with pictures of 12 youths to an undercover agent working for a state legislative investigating committee. The accused was employed as an assistant boating director and sailing instructor at the George Williams college in Lake Geneva. According to police, there was no connection between Spargo's work at the college and the pornography charge.
