Do you know how to make gtHMl concrete T Do you know how to give specifications for concrete to the ready mix plant When - you want some. There is a lot to know about concrete as silt young McHenry county 4-H boys learned Thursday afternoon ffcom Claude Kincaid of Portland Qement association. These young men are enrolled in our new 4-H concrete project. Thejr learned that good concrete shbukl not fee sloppy -that the workability of concrete depends on the graduation of materials j froiti l% inch' gravel down- to the finest sand and not oil the amount of water. , The strength of concrete depends directly on the amount of water used per sack of cement. The life can be lengthened and appearance improvedg in concrete by properly wetting it during cuving. A chemical reaction takes place during setting, requiring water, and if this wat^r is not available, the life is shortened. It takes twenty-eight days tcj, cure concrete but if it is kept covered . and wet for seven days, the life is lengthened by many years. Spittle bugs will be hatching In this area in another twx wetfks, according to the temperatures. These bugs ar*» vefy small and will he found in the crown at the base and in the tiny folded leaves of alfa'fa plants. BHC or lindane can be applied in a spray as socn as hatching begins. When it nears completion, toxaphene and methoxychlor can be used. These are the bugs th^t make the masses of sods you have seen on alfalfa. They suck the sap out of the plant and if enough are present, can lower hay yield a lot. Kay also Is harder to cure. Eevry day we get a number of calls about buying fertilizer, seed, equipment, etc. Let us say again, the Farm Bureau doesn't sell anything but farm account books, farm lease forms, etc. The McHenry County Service company, located on the sfecond floor of the Farm Bureau build* ing, is the object of these calls, we find. Would you call the oank .to make an appointment to have a tooth pulled just because the dentist is a tenant in the bank building. The strange thing Is that Co*- gressmen are more concerned about supporting the farmers prices than the farmers are. An example is the Texas cattleman who doesn't want the government in the beef market and has said so in large numbers, yet Texas congressmen 'are recommending it. A display of politics regardless of the statesmenship shewn by local constituents. Congressman Chauncey Reed, of our district, met with Fanin Bureau leaders last Monday. He is chairman of the judiciary comhmttee la the HOuse of Repre* I aahtativea. Over 50 percent of ' the bills that come before" the t bouse go through his committee. I He says he is so busy on this j job he doesn't have much time (for study of agricultuial prob* leras, but depends on his college i ues to inform him. They ask hint about bills in his department. Sid Simpson is the Illinois man on the ag committee for whom Reed has a high regard. He told about some of the crazy reciprocal trade agree; ments that are in effect. Without^ even calling in oner of the thre* major watchmakers in the U.S. an agreement was made with Switzerland to trade Swiss watches for American automo# biles and dairy products. Swis.1, mountains almost completely, eliminate American cars anct they are, themselves, a dairy country able -to produce dairy products cheaper than we ' can. Who slept through that one might ask? : "v ' "' In 1420, a Venetian inventor received the equivalent of $120,- 000 for his discovery of the pro-; cess for making loaf sugar--anamount ten times greater than the cost of Columbus' first, voyage to the New World.
