Wonder Lake Anne Sowers 653-9549 Mother Nature Attacks Again A coupte of years ago, our family was ih the middle of et \ situation ? Chat 1 hoped and prayed would never happen again. Last night "Mother Nature" did it to us again. While our dog was in the back yard, taking care of her nightly routine, a little black kitty with white stripes down its back, decided to show her that it wanted to have the yard to itself! There is something about this aroma that penetrates walls and windows. It even awoke our boys who cames down from the second fioor to tell ipe there was a terrible smell in their room. The last time this hap­ pened, I tried every remedy I was told such as washing the dog* in tomato juice, putting charcoal around the house, and leaving saucers with vinegar around our rooms. This time I know just to stay out of the house on some shopping trips, because only time will heal. The sad part is that our whole family carries the fragrance around with us. If you see me in a store, I will fully understand why you turn around and head in the other direction. After our first encounter, we would go through the smell test before we left, but after awhile we became immune and started thinking it had gone. This happened to our oldest son, who was in third grade at the time. I received a call from the principal asking me to bring a different coat to school for him. It seems that while it was hanging on his assigned hook in a hallway, kids were complaining as they passed by. The prin­ cipal put it in the janitor's closet not telling him. The janitor came to the office telling him that someone was playing a rotten joke on him by putting a skunk in his closet. That jacket had been in the back of our closet at home during the skunk or­ deal, so you can see how the aroma travels. Animal owners are always told to keep them in their own yards! Why doesn't "Mother Nature" do the same? It would certainly avoid many problems for our family! SEEK MEMBERS The Wednesday morning Bible class of Nativity Lutheran church meets every week at 9:30 a.m. Pastor Olson says, "It is indeed, a very interesting and inspirational study of the Book of Hebrews and we would like to have more people enjoying the study with us."

Over the past three years, we have been bombarded with soccer jargon and have done a lot of "looking up in the en­ cyclopedia". I even found out that Pele did more than just make credit card commercials. Doug Quelland of White oaks Bay, deserves much credit for organizing, coaching, and refereeing the Soccer league. He has a love for soccer and has developed that same feeling in many young people. Doug and his family will be* leaving our area soon for Arizona. He will be greatly missed by all of' us who have become acquanited with him. I'm certain, that whenever our children think of soccer, they will automatically think of Doug.

Cut Field Losses ~ Tests show that when corn is lodged, ear losses may equal one-third of the crop that is down. That's an unhappy , possibility in most harvest seasons, but there are some steps farmers can take to reduce their losses. . The best thing to do in harvesting lodged corn is to take your time, keep the snouts down low and stay on the row. And harvest lodged corn as soon as possible, he says, because more corn will go down with time. Begin your machinery adjustments by setting the corn head snouts low. They should be run as close to the ground as possible to lift the fallen cornstalks. This means you'll need to use the header height control often and watch out for rocks. Be sure, too, that the head is carefully matched to row width. If it doesn't match within an inch, you can lose corn. You also should set the gathering chain speed a little faster than the ground speed. This will allow the stalks to be fed gently into the snapping area. Adjust chains to proper tension and, if necessary, make ad­ justments as you work. Be sure, not to drive faster than the gathering chains can take in the crop. The speed for minimum losses may well be a slow 2 mph. Greater speeds in­ crease losses. In an Ohio study, increasing the speed from 2.26 mph to 3.10 mph increased losses by more than 3 bushels per acre. One reason is that slowing down makes it easier to stay on the row. Weed Alfalfa Soon - Annual weeds in established alfalfa or alfalfa-forage grass mixtures can be controlled best when the alfalfa is in the dormant stage. I can give you some assistance if you contact me. Call or stop by the office at 789 McHenry avenue, Woodstock, 338-3737 or 4747. Harvest Travel Safety - Fall is here, with early sunsets and busy times for farmers. Traveling safely to and from fields this fall requires you and your equipment to be ready. Have a slow-moving vehicle (SMV) emblems on anything that will be traveling 25 mph or slower. Check warning lights on equipment to see if they are working. Be sure to know the height of tall combines or 6ther equipment. You may encounter bridges or electric wires. And be sure you are ready. Remember that fast paced society we live in! They do not enjoy following you for long distances. Pull over when you can safely do so. Keep an eye out for that other guy. Finally, keep your cool even if the other drivers do not. , Defensive Driving - The Farm Bureau Women's committee and Country companies are again sponsoring their excellent Defensive Driving course. The two session course of­ fered for 16-106 year olds will be Nov. 8,6:30 to 10 p.m. and will be held at the Farm - Bureau auditorium. Perfect Roses - The main danger to rosebushes during the winter is from drying wind and frequent fluc­ tuation in temperatures rather than from cold weather. Repeated freezing and thawing does far more damage to plant tissue than a single long freeze. One method of protecting rosebushes is to use tall cylindrical columns. The collars can be slipped over the tops of ihe plants and filled with loose material, such as straw or leaves. This material also can be piled atop the bushes. It may be necessary to prune the bushes so the plants fit into the doma Domes must be firmly an­ chored with stones or soil on their bottom flanges or they may blow over in high winds. Since removable hinged-top domes are not available, make holes in the tops or sides to allow for ventilation during sunny days. This prevents moisture from condensing inside. Is it not strange . . . that such an txhubtrmnc* of enterprise should cause some mdiuniuats to mistake change for progress, and the invasion of the rights of othars for national prowess mad glory.
