On deciduous shrubs and trees, cut dead wood bade to live portions of the plant. On evergreens, do not prune burned foliage areas until it is certain shoots on the ends of branches are dead, because they still may emerge and cover the damage with new growth. Furthermore, adequate soil moisture is critical for all af­ fected plants, eipecially deciduous shrubs and trees that have just leafed-out or partially leafed-out. If these weakened plants encounter drought stress ^ in the next couple of months they may not survive, so be ready to water as needed, Spangenberg added. Fertilizing will not help at this time, and in some cases could actually be harmful.

Reflecting fanner views, the resolution calls for the control of waste disposal and any site established for the purpose to stay within the jurisdiction of the McHenry County Board. National farm program policy is reflected in the fourth resolution. It calls for cross compliance for participation in all farm programs. "Fines should be forfeiture of payment for non-compliance," the resolution states. Some complaints over the knowledge of zoning matters prompted one member to suggest a resolution concerning qualifications for new ap­ pointees. The resolution proposal asked that appointees to the Zoning Board of Appeals "be knowledgeable of zoning and have supported and be supportive of the McHenry County Zoning ordinance."
