TamnMUs ~ We always thought cranberries o| ., v fiad to be grown in bog land. Ap- A;J>arently not, though, because we •t„ net a man from Wisconsin who is growing1 them on a sand hill. He says cranberries will tolerate 7 ' Jrtater, but it isn't necessary. 'Do you follow tne practice of making a map each yfcar yf your farm, giving the crops grown, fertilizer used and amounts, seeding made, varieties sown, and yields produced. This make* a handy reference sheet in future years to refer to. There is a page in the Illinois farm record book for this, but I'll bet only 20 per cent of the users of the book do it. ^ f c 4 And. for goodn&M MtlW.' When you seed your alfalfa brume and other small seeds keep a sample of it in a jar and put the tag in with it. I understand some companies, including Producers, has a handy little bag attached to the bag especially tor this purpose. Speaking of parity, then is old parity, new parity, effective parity and transitional -parity. Don't ask us to help you with the formula of each. Old parity formula we threw away, new parity formula is not here yet, the fellow who figures effective parity is home moving his beehives today, and the fellow who figures transitional parity is figuring in Lake county this week.

On thin land we would recommend 200 pounds of 4-16-16 or 300 pounds of 8-12-1*. * For eorpt upland legume hay or p&sture sod we would broadcast 200 pounds of 0-20-20 after plowing and apply 100 pounds of 3-12-12 with the planter. on second year corn, plow under at least 400 pounds Of 10-10-10 and 100 pounds of i. i»"i.iif11.

Use paper twine and keep your fertilizer at home to help gttow tndre corn and alfalfa hsy. GAMMA GLOBULIN I heard about the sad sack who had such a long face he could eat soup out of a churn. Have you wormed your sheep, vaccinated your pigs, innoculated your legume seeds, sprayed your fruit trees with dormant spray, culled your hens, got, the soil samples on that questionable 40 acres, pruned your grapes. No, there isn't a thing to do on the farm nowdays. - If you plan to plant some trees this spring now is the tiihe. If they come tied up in a bundle and you can't get at them for a few days, leave them in the burfdle in cold storage at 36 to 40 degrees. Don't plant them on a windy day. You't be surprised how quick those little roots hairs dry up. They are so small you can't see them without a microscope. We are finding less emphasis on straight nitrogen fertilizers •rnd more on balanced fertilizers The reason for this is the fact that nitrogen added to soils that are low in phosphate and potash minerals has been fcund to be unprofitable. This is the reason why plowing under 10-10-10 for corn has proven so popular. 3-12-12 with the planter. 4-16-1C There will be enough gamma ^lolmlin for prevention or modification of measles, provided it is used only in the most efficient manper. and ia c*sep wbef^ it has specific vifiue, according t7 br. Roland R. Cross', dir&etof of "he Illinois Department of Public Health. Dr. Cross pointed out that the supply of gamma globulin, which originates from human blood, is limited and under heavy lemand for summer use against •jolio. He explained that gamma rlobulin will probably not alter '.he course of measles once the lisease has set in, and that it will not be distributed for such cases, as its most practical application is for prevention or modification following definite exposure of susceptible children, provided it is given within the first week of the incubation i>crod. Oamma globulin for use 'gainst measles may be obtained iy physicians from city or ounty health departments, regional offices of the state health lepartment, or the division of preventive medicine. Reports to he state health department for he week ending March 21 SMJW '77 cases of measles in Illinois, is compared to 1,559 cases for Jbe corresponding week in 1952. is the same as 3-12-12 only onethird stronger. In lew land use aibout 150 pounds of 3-9-27 in the planter with 200 pounds of 0-2O-SJ6 broadcast after plowing. Top dressing' of legume hay" or pasture land with 200 to sdf pounds of 0-20-20 now will boost production considerably. / " Y ' I met a man the other da? who has lived in his community for sixty years and didn't know there was such a thing hek each year as the town meet'n?

SPRING F^ CBOPI Illinois farmers have indicated their intention cf planting 20.6 million acres in field crops this spring, according to the state and federal departments of agriculture. This acreage will be a fraction of 1 per cent more than was planted last year, and has been exceeded only four times since World War I. A 2 per cent increase is expected In the acreage of ccrn, 2 per cent increase In soybeans, and a 10 per cent increase In wheat, Which makes the wheat acreage the largest in 15 years. A six per cent reduction is looked for in oats acreage. Wheat came through the winter with practically no losses, and witft^ stands and color good.
