*i;.r ^ vs * jr \ K # ^v * ? ' •• -."*•? efr- \ By W. H. Tammftus Hay! Hay! Hay! And the farmer hauled another load away. The south seems to be direly in need of hay. Last week we had a request from Abilene, Texas, for quotations on carloads of hay delivered there. Now cornea urgent requests from Seed Service Co., Box 2033, DeSoto station, Memphis 2. Tenru, and from County Agent Ben Price, Bates- Ville, Ark. It looks like a sellers market and yet so many farmers here this year cut their yield by putting up first and second cutting St the same time. Alfalfa yields liere cafti be substantially increased by cutting the first crop about June 1 to make room for the second cutting which a number of local farmers were putting up last week. Farmers in this area are going to have to make a decision" on this hay making business. Are they going to put up hay when it's ready or. when they are ready? Accidents happen in the oest of families. Usually barley goes down and oats stand up. At our demonstration plots the barley stood up and the oats were flat. Oderbrucker barley seems the variety for this area, because it's early and gets ahead of the diseases. Moore, which we had such hopes for a few years ago because it stands so well with heavy fertilization, is too late and collects all the diseases. This reduces its malting qualities. Most of the barley in Illinois is grown here. A Champaign county grower, however, gets 50 bushels per acre. He sows it in February and has it ripe before the weather gets hot. This is one of the secrets in barley production. The new oats varieties we should be interested in are Missouri 0-205, Sante Fe-Clinton Cross and LaSalle, which is a Marian-Clinton Cross. These are all disease-resistant. Everyone at the barley-oats field day said they wished A1 Lang would have talked another hour on his European trip. He and Prof. Sprague of Iowa spent nine weeks in nine countries. Hybrid corn was introduced into fifteen countries by E.C.A. in 1947. Now they have had enough experience to ask intelligent questions and compare notes. Sprague was the com expert and . Al was the soil expert on this E.C.A. mission. The industry is really taking hold. Our hybrids have produced corn to the extent that 100,000 bushel processing plants have built in such countries as France, Belgium. Italy and Spain. These are built chiefly by cooperatives with government and E.C.A. help, He said, they db have problems. In Holland, Wisconsin 120, the shortest season corn in the U.S., takes 156 days to mature. In the Po Valley of Italy they are producing 300 bushels per acre. We have tried it and can produce only 100 to 125 with every kind of effort. They grow 24,000 to 30,000 plants per acre and have clovers growing between the rows. What is the answer? We have all kinds of natural advantages yet we can't do it. They plow 14 to 16 inches deep and turn under everything they can find in the way of organic matter. To rest the land they can't afford to let it lie idle so they plow it 30 inches deep.every 4 or 5 years and rest it by layers. They have perfect tilth. Al said he saw a farmer disking ....i, r. i-r "• ;-- with water following in the disk tracks. It doesn't puddle. Did you ever notice that the poorer land gets, the more shal low the farmer plows? The reason is he can't get the plow in any deeper. If the plow won't go in how do we expect water, air or plant roots to get in? A new way to increase egg production in your flock is to appoint- a likely hen as general manager to egg the rest of them on. The way to make time go fast is to plan more work than you can get done. My planner usually works better and faster than my doer. Most dairy farmers used to just barely squeeze out a living but they have done better in this area since they got milking machines. In the south dairying was a failure until the milking machine was invented because before that those southern cows couldn't stand the Yanks. There is no longer regulations on farm wage rates. Later application of nitrogen on corn, if it were possible, after the main growth had taken place would cause the extra energy to go into grain production and ripening instead of into extra growth .which happens wh£n nitrogen is applied early. v? "r» • THE * 'r " ^ Vii*" t ^ KAlNbgAtER y • r:. ; ; 'y r 'V:v y Thursday, July 24, REDUCTION IN OPS PERSONNEL IN STATE TO BEGIN IN AUGUST Acting upon instructions from Washington, OPS Regional Director H. B. Raskin has announced a reduction in personnel in the Illinois. Indiana and Wisconsin OPS staffs. Raskin said: "In order to effect this reduction, it is apparently necessary to close the district offices in Peoria, 111., and Green Bav. Wis. The regional office in Chicago will absorb and take over t\ye functions of the Chicago district office. The staffs in all remaining offices Will be curtailed." The OPS staff is being trimmed to brine it within the limits of the budget Congress voted. The congressional appropriation for this year's operation is less than half of last years. The enforcement staff will eain importance as other sections of the OPS operation which had the purpose of acquiring businessmen with regulations will be reduced. The cost of the regional OPS orogram from July 1, 1951, to June 30, 1952, was $3,900,000. The cost of the program in the three-state region per person broke down to about twenty cents per person. All dismissals will be tntide after 30-day notices which OPS officials must issue by August 1. WHEAT GROWERS j ARE PROTECTED BY CCC LOANS , Wheat farmers will be fcctinf in their own interests if they make the fullest use of the available price supports in marketing this year's big crop, Bert Bridges, chairman of the McHenry Production and Marketing Administration committee, said this week. The chairman explains that about one-third of the nation's wheat crop goes to market at harvest time, mostly in July and August. This strains shipping facilities, overloads the markets, and tends to force wheat prices below those prevailing during the remainder of tfte year. If a grower is in position to store his Wheat, either in a commercial warehouse or on the farm, he can get a price support loan or a purchase agreement, thus assuring himself of a price at least 90 percent of parity, or $2.35 per bushel in McHenry county. If the price of wheat is higher than the support price during the time the wheat is under loan he can sell it in the open market, pay his loan and take his profit. If the price is below support level at loan maturity time, he can deliver his wheat to CCC in full payment of his loan. To demonstrate the advantage of marketing wheat at a time other than when it is harvested and overflowing the market. Chairman Bridges cites recent wheat prices during August compared with the price during later months; 1946-crop wheat sold for an average of 66 cents per bushel more in March than when harvested the previous August; 1947-crop wheat sold for 71 cents per bushel more in January than during' the previous August; 1948-crop wheat was "9 cents more in December then when harvested: 1949-crop wheat was 25 cents higher the following May: 1950-erop wheat was 24 cents higher in Feb.; and 1951-crop wheat, was 17 cents higher in December than in August. From these figures, the chairman points out, it is clear that farmers can materially benefit when they store during the years of large production at least a part of their wheat for later sale. And while it is stored the farmer need not be without working capital because a price support loan may be obtained on the wh^L. in storage. Complete information on price support loans and purchase agreements may be obtained at the McHenry county PMA office. 000 JUNE GHADS -RGED TO CONHDES TEACHING CAREER • The thirty-six thousand June g r a d u a t e s o f h i g h s c h o o l s throughout Illinois are being urged this week to consider teaching as their future profession. According to the Illinois State Chamber of Commerce, one out of every ten of these young men and women must enter the teaching profession to fill the minimum needs for teachers in our Illinois schools, A colorful brochure entitled "Facts You Should Know if You -Want to be a Teacher" is being sent to the home addresses of the 36,000 high school graduates. This brochure, which was prepared by the education committee of the Illinois State Chamber of Commerce, describes the "real need and opportunity for teachers in Illinois." A letter written by Vernon Niekell, Illinois superintendent of public instruction, is attached to each brochure. Mr. Niekell declares, "I know that you will be keenly interested in this brochure due to the fact that at this time in the educational world there are wonderful opportunities in the teaching field." He points out that there is on the way into our schools the largest elementary enrollment in Illinois history, and the peak of this enrollment is riot expected until 1963. The State Chamber's brochure gives the reasons why young men and women enter the teaching profession, what qualities are necessary to make a good teacher, and the steps which must be taken, to become a teacher. Th1? forty-six teacher-training institutions in Illinois are also listed. Waldo B. Ames of Moore, Case, Lyman and- Hubbard, Chicago, is chairman of the education committee which prepared the brochure "Facts You Should Know if You Want to be a Teacher." Vernon L. Heath, secretary of i,. S. Heath and Sons, Inc., Robinson, is chairman of a sub-committee on securing an adequate supply of competent teachers. Both Ames and Heath are mem- The Book House For Children relates that "in the year 958 A.D., Sancho the Fat, King of Leon, traveled more than halfway- across Spain to consult Arab physicians at Cordova about losing weight." The safari and treatments of the waddling Sancho, who was too fat even to mount a horse, cost him a king's ransom.

NEW INCORPORATIONS ON THE RISE THIS^ YEAR IN ILLINOIS New incorporations in 'Illinois are 195 greater for the first six months of this year over 1951, Secretary of State Edward J. Barrett reported today. The totals ar& 1952, 3,313; 1951, 3,118. } The greatest gain, he said, is in the Illinois not-for-profit corporations, where the present total of 879 is 153 greater than the number granted Charters last year. New Illinois business corporations are thirty-seven ahead of last year, with a total of 2,158. Out-of-state business corporations receiving authorizations this year to operate in Illinois totaled 270 so far, three more than last year, and the total for new out-of-state not-for-profit corporations was six for 1952, an increase of two. Collections from franchise taxes and other fees at the end of the six-month period were $35,737.29 less than at the same time last year. Mr. Barrett said. He pointed out that May, June and July are the months during which most corporations pay their annual, fees, and that from year to year there are frequently large fluctuations in the amount received during any oiie of those months.

TV Antenna A s"' Safety Hazard Television antennas are going up all over the country, and so are accidental deaths caused by them. A file folder at the National Safety Council is receiving more and more case histories and newspaper items telling a grim ®story of death on the roof top. Amateur handymen account for nearly all of the deaths, the Council said. When television sets were first sold, the price included professional installation. In recent months, sets have been offered with an antenna kit which the set owner could erect himself. Power Lines Are „ Risk As a result, antennas have been put up without regard to nearby power lineb, attached to crumbling chimneys, even placed on utility poles carrying heavy voltages, Most fatalities have been due to electrocution by coming in contact with power lines, although falling accidents to persons unfamiliar with roof top work have added to the toll. In rural areas and small towns, .where 45 to 60-foot antenna poles are necessary to pick up distant transmission centers, improper bracing has resulted in collapse across power lines and the interruption of electrical service in entire" communities. Fires and live wires have added to the dangers. The Council urges all TV buyers to make sure the price includes installation by the dealer or a competent service company.
