Cutworms: Hard To Predict Of all the major corn pests, cutworms still present the biggest puzzle to corn growers and entomologists. Cutworms, which sever young plants dose to the soil surface, are unlike root- worms, wireworms and nematodes in. that they're nearly impossible to predict. The only surefire sign of cutworm infestation comes when the worms are doing their damage, and young corn plants begin to wither and fall over. The pest is common enough and destructive enough to be an economic threat to taany growers. A University of Illinois survey taken annually shows that over the last 25 years, roughly three percent'of the com acreage in the state was either replanted because of cutworm damage or treated with a "rescue" spray. "The last two years, in­ cidence of cutworm has been above that average," says extension entomologist Dr. Don Kuhlman. "In 1978 the figure went up to about 15 percent, and last year it was about five percent. This doesn't include acreage where damage was prevented by planting-time insecticides." In a survey taken last year by Mobil Chemical com­ pany, 51 percent of the 2,100 Midwestern corn growers responding said they con­ sidered cutworm an "im­ portant issue." "Part of the reason for the higher levels the last two years is that we had wet springs, late tillage and late planting in both 78 and '79," explains Kuhlman. "In many problem fields, there were weeds growing in April and early May, when the moths are flying and laying their eggs. This preplant weed growth is an attractive place for the moths to lay eggs, and also provides a source of food for cutworm larvae when they hatch." From surveying about 500 growers who have had in­ festations, extension en­ tomologists in Illinois have identified other factors associated with cutworm. Included are low, polorly drained fields; corn planted in rotation with soybeans and reduced tillage. "We are in favor of reduced tillage to conserve the soil," says Kuhlman, "but it is one factor in cut­ worm problems. We think these factors Interact in some way to produce in­ festations^-- -- "But." he adds, "there are always exceptions. Ex­ ceptions are the one constant rule when you talk about cutworm." Both "at-planting" and "rescue" treatments are available for cutworm. Rootworm soil insecticides also labeled for cutworm are Mocap, Dyfonate and Lorsban. "For both root- worm and black cutworm, our recommended ap­ plication is a seven-inch band at the rate of 12 ounces Mocap 10G per thousand feet of row," says Doug Nail, group products manager at Mobil Chemical. Rescue treatments depend on careful scouting to spot worms before heavy damage is done. Lorsban, Sevin and Dylox are available for this post-emergence spray ap­ plication. For all treatments, consult university guidelines and product labels for coirfplete information. Good Buddy Some scientists believe that the occupants of flying saucers will contact us. once they un­ derstand our language. If they're listening to C.B. radio, that'll be in the year 2338! Contain Fire Phyllis and Gary Leske's recently remodeled two- story Alpine type home was damaged by fire early Wednesday morning, April 2. Prompt action by the" Fire Department prevented the fire from spreading much beyond the children's bedroom. It is heart rending to watch destruction by fire, realizing that hard work and dreams are going up in smoke. There are thanks to be said, though, as no one was injured in the blaze.' Neighbors and family members are helping the Leskes through this sad time. ELECTION TIME AGAIN Primary and Library Board of Trustees elections are past history, so now the School Board elections are upon us. Saturday, April 12 is the date, with our polling place the Lakemoor Municipal building on Route 120, from noon to 7 p.m. That is for District 15 and District 156 elections. For McHenry County College Board, East campus high school is the place to cast your ballot. After these elections, perhaps November will be the next time we are to use our voting privilege. Amazing and disturbing are the number of persons who are not registered to vote. Pacita Morrison, Village Clerk of Lakemoor, will register any one during regular office hours at the Municipal building. It is your right and responsibility to vote for the people in government. GET WELLS Laura Meyer is home from the McHenry hospital, where she had surgery on her hand April 1. She is now learning to be ambidextrous, due to the cast on her right hand. One of the happy moments Laura had at the hospital, was receiving a lovely plant from the Lilymoor association. It's nice to be thought of. Also home and back to. school, is little Heather O'Neil, who spent a few days at the McHenry hospital. LIBRARY STORY Did you know that one of America's greatest bargains is the library? That is the theme for National Library Week, April 13 through the nineteenth. Considering the cost of books these days, when even a paperback is several dollars, libraries are much more needed. NQ£ only are books available for use at the McHenry Nunda library, but new records have been added, plus cassette tapes, puzzles, framed art work and magazines, all of which may be taken out by card holders. The library on Lily Lake road and Columbus drive is open Tuesdays 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursdays, 2 to 8 p.m. Fridays 2 to 7 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. With the book drop installed, items may be returned at any time. Fines for overdue materials returned during National Library Week will be cancelled. Discover for yourself why your library is one of "America's Greatest Bargains." LADIES LEAGUE Several members of the L.L.L.L. were absent due to illness, at the Wednesday Sophie Paterson and Marie Hyatt were not well enough to come, and Connie O'Rourke had hurt her leg, so she, too, was in­ capacitated. Of the ladies who did make the meeting, held in the upstairs meeting room at the Muncipal building, Julia Kraus was the first prize winner, which really sur­ prised her, as she rarely wins. Helen Para won secondhand Mildred Nejedly won third. . Mildred's luck has been good lately, what with winning two cakes at the Meet and Eat center. And she. isn't supposed to have sugar. Such is the way of life. The ladies also enjoyed refreshments , provided by Anna Brzezinski, assisted by Carol Voelke. WELCOME Baby girl Patricia Fay Dawdy made her entrance into this world March 17, weighing in at 8 lbs., Vfe oz., and 20'/2 in. long. Patricia will have enough babysitters with brothers Max, Teddy and Randy, and sisters Shawnda and Sheridee. This makes Evelyn and Bob's children evenly matched, with three boys and three girls. Edna Wipper is grand­ mother again, as of March 24 when her daughter Jennie gave birth to Dylan Jay Hoffmann. This is Edna's second boy grandchild in a two-month time, and is a PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, APRILS, 1980 Bargain, to a primarily all-girl/family. Dylan ha's a sister Heather, who will be wat­ ching over him, along with father Scott. Welcome, little ones. BAKE SALE SUCCESS Phyllis Croswell arid Laura Meyer were the chairladies for the bake sale sponsored by the Lilymoor association, held recently in McHenry. They appreciated the help of area residents and were able to add to the funds for subdivision ex­ penses. HAPPY WISHES Birthday time for Leigh Ann Freeman and April Lynn Baker is April 9. April is Brian and Lilyann's daughter, who is now discovering the fascinating world of books at the library. Terri Gorski, recent ad­ dition to Lakemoor, will be 15 on April 12.

Governor Dave O'Neal urged legislators to support the increase in circuit breaker property tax relief benefits proposed for disabled and senior citizens in Gov. James Thompson's recommendations for the 1981 budget. Thompson proposed increasing the eligibility ceiling from $10,000 to $12,500 in annual income per family. He also r e c o m m e n d e d t h e maximum grant be raised from $650 to^$800.
