Page 12 NORTHWEST HERALD Section B Monday, September », 1915 Regional Farm Aid ---- (Continued trom page IB) cal farmers are that even raising $50 million will do some good. In terms of dealing with the debt crisis, many have indicated to him they are "weathering the storm." At the National Conference of State Legislators in Iowa last summer, Schaffer was able to participate in a seminar dealing with the current plight of U.S. farmers. He said the speaker, a University of Iowa professor, divided farmers into three groups: Those who are in good shape - "just making it,"; Those who are over their heads in debt; and those who are somewhere in the middle. The professor stressed there must be a concerted effort to help those farmers in the "middle" category. As far as the goverment "getting involved," both Schaffer and Congressman Philip Crane appear to be against it. Schaffer believes the situation is beyond help from the state, but that ^getting the federal government involved will just make it worse." A spokesperson for Crane said die felt his opinion would be that politicians have nothing to do with the event, and the distribution of funds should be left to the organizers. "Willie (Nelson) and the governor (Thompson) have asked the farmers to tell them where to spend it," Schaffer said. "That makes sense." , • Others, including Walter and Harris, believe the ultimate fpte of farmers lies in the government's hands. "Nobody has the answer/but the government has been too lax," said Walter. " - • "The government has got to take action," Harris said, "because it has gotten us into this position. It's really the only way this situation can be? straightened out. Town and Country Tips Many types of insects, especially caterpillars, are now a common sight in yards and gardens throughout McHenry County. Some of these are serious pests, while others do relatively little damage. Fall webworms are probably the biggest tree insect problem in the area right now. Large, conspicuous webs covering the engs of branches of many trees and shrubs are the mark of this insect. Oftentimes these tentlike structures of the fall webworm are misldentified as gypsy moths, which do not make tentlike webs and are not currently a problem in McHenry County. Close inspection of these webs reveals that they are full of pale green or yellow hairy caterpillars with stripes down their back and sides. As these caterpillars grow, the nest will expand to cover more foliage. These caterpillars will not kill the tree since they are feeding late in the season, but can still "V cause considerable damage and are unsightly . c The best way to control fall webworms is to clip off and destroy the nest. Spraying is only effective if the webs are small, so the insects will enlarge it over treated foliage, or if part of the web is torn upon to allow penetration of the insecticide. Choices of insecticides to use include Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel, Thuricide, Bactur), and carbaryl (Sevin), malathion, or acephate (Orthene). Larva of Cecropia and Polyphemus moths are also now feeding on various trees, Including cherry, birch, maple and willow. These are large, green soft-bodied caterpillars with yellow, red and blue fleshy projections called tubercles. These insects seldom occur in large enough numbers on a tree to cause major damage to warrant spraying. Any of the above insecticides will control them if needed, however. Supermarket Shopper By Martin Sloane Dear Martin -- My wife and I recently went shopping at a local supermarket that advertised a "Buy One, Get One Free" sale and was also offering to double the value of manufacturers' coupons. One of the "Buy One, Get One Free" items was Fantastic bath­ room cleaner, priced at $1.69. When we arrived at the checkout counter, we gave the cashier a Fantastic 50- cent off coupon which we assumed would be doubled. The cashier refused to take the coupon. She said that the sale made the actual j>rice of theJwo contain­ ers of Fantastic 85 cents each, and since the coupon when doubled would be worth $1, more than the price of each item, she could not accept the coupon. Was she right? Mike Morris, Sanford, Fla. Dear Mike -- The supermarket has the right to make the rules for doubling the value of coupons, but in this case you should have been able to use your coupon at the double value. "Buy One, Get One Free" has a definite meaning. You purchase the first item at the advertised or marked price, and the second item is free. Therefore, the price of the first item should have been the only one considered when the cashier de­ cided whether or not to allow the use of the double coupon. My opinion would be different if the store had advertised a "Half Price" sale when you purchase two items, since both items would start off at half price. But this was not the case. Dear Martin -- When my husband and I have the urge for pizza, we usually send out for one, but last week I decided to^see how much I could save by buying the pizza -- and a few things to go with it -- at a local supermarket that was offering to double the value of coupons. First, I used a 50-cents off coupon on a Totino's frozen pizza. Next I had a 75-cent Pepsi Cola coupon, and the store had the 2-liter bottle on sale for 99 cents. Finally, I used a 15- cent Pizza Mate cheese coupon to give the pizza some extra cheese topping. When the coupons were doubled, my total cost for all three items was just $2.46, which was a real savings. The pizza was delicious, and when we finished I found that there was a bonus. There were $1.20 worth of coupons printed on the back of the pizza box! Lynn Bateman, Dunmore, Pa. Dear Lynn -- When you have a pizza craving, it pays to check your coupon files.

Large, soft-bodied green worms which have been showing up on tomato plants are tomato hornworms. Usually picking them Off by hand is enough to control them, or spray with Bacillus thuringiensis or carbaryl. As is the case about every summer, picnic beetles are again a problem in area gardens. These are small, black, hard-bodied insects with four yellowish-orange spots on their bodies. These are attracted to overripe or rotting fruit, s6 the best control measure is to remove all overripe or rotten tomatoes, berries, apples, squash and other fruits and vegetables in the ^rea. Keeping garbage cans covered also helps prevent attracting them to the area.
