By W. H. Tamnwus --, ,4 This last week one day, com samples were taken on our 4-H corn projects in the county. Three crews of two men each husked out and weighed four 50 ft. lengths of drilled corn or four *16 hill lengths of checked corn in four different places in the field on twenty-two different farms. Thifc proved a very interesting project and almost every member and his dad is very enthused about the results. These are being calculated now and will be given out at the corn show which will be held the evening of Oct. 28. & The McHenry County Service company is honoring all members and their dads at a dinner in connection with the show and will pick the winner In their extra yield contest. ^ Moisture content on the samples runs from a high of. 39.8 on corn planted June 6 to a low of 18.6 on CQrn planted May 12. In. both cases the corn was side dressed .with ammonium nitrate. This should dispel anyone's idea that heavy nitrogen fertilizer causes com to be slow to ripen and dry out. Most of the fields 'will yieltf over 100 bushels. One of the main reasons for this was the lack of weeds which indicated the boys were weed-con9cious because they were yield-conscious. The results are not quite complete, but yields under 100 bushels pretty much were determined by whether or not the field was weedy or had a poor stand of corn. Both fields that were in com in 1951 yielded below '100 bushel. A letter from a farmer who has two dump trucks that he doesn't use for anything but hauling silage from his custom chopper in the field to the silo, complains about the difference* in truck license he will have to pay because the mileage tart was cut oiit. Each truck, he says, only runs about 1,900 miles per year and his cost has been under $30 per year per truck under the mileage license. Now it will be $159 per year with the new truck license law. He states that almost all of his driving of these trucks is on roads that he, as a landowner, gave to the county, state or township, whichever the case might be, to build a road on and still pays real estate tax on it. This is a pertinent fact in his argument, I think. He urges we do all w'e can to reinstate the mileage feature in the tax law. I wish there was some way for all farmers to know the amount, of time and effort the "high priced lawyers of the I. A. A. spent on just that very thing last year when the law was drawn up and was in the legislature. More time was spent on that feature than any other. And the boys say they haven't given up by any means yet. An interesting thing was brought out by Lt. Governor Dixon, candidate for governor, on television recently. He said the automobiles pay a total of $1.60 per ton per 1,000 miles license |vto use the roads of Illinois while trucks were paying only about half that amount. The new truck license was designed to bring the trucker up to paying as touch per ton mile as the lowly passenger car. If every one was interested in treating the s$ate fairly like our farmer friend * who wrote the letter the mileage feature of the law would still be in effect and would be a defenite help to the farmer and the door-to-door delivery truck and others who drive only a few thousand miles per year. But, this isn't the case. The mileage feature was thrown out because of the dishonest trucker I am told. They say the farmer is dishonest. Our I. A. A. men tried to prove they weren't. One thing they found out is that the gas that the farmer claims a gas tax refund on would not near do the farming that is done in Illinois, proving that Instead, of fimag his gas barrel for farming and then filling his car and truck out of it and claiming refund out of it he doesn't claim gas tax refund on nearly all the gas he could or is entitled to. When such vicious accusations as these are disproved perhaps we/can get somewhere in getting the farmer a fair deal on this truck license law. Just, got a confirmation from Prof. P. H. Tracy of the dairy technology, department of the College of Agriculture saying that he will be with us for our winter series meeting on Dec. 19. He will talk about the "Inroads of Substitutes for Milk in the Many Foods the Public buys for Dairy Products." This- is becoming an important economic factor in the dairy business. Will the high labor cost per 100 pounds of milk put old Nellie out of the market some day? What will. we f&ed all these soil con-'1 serving roughages to is a more important question to me than whether we stay in the dairy business or not. Our farmers can learn to not milk and probably would like it. In Tracy's talk we hope to find out about Nellie's future.
