*- r.;V7i.X- * j9» Thursday, May 7, 1953 FARM By W. H. Tammeua " Harvard Milk Day is only a month away. The cattle show which will be held June 3 always draws a great deal of interest. You young folks have only until May 20 to enter and with the county fair not being until after the State Fair, Harvard Milk Day and the county Black and white show will be your only shows for you to find out whether your animal Should go to the state or not. . The State Chamber of Commerce is for a higher truck fee on small trucks and definitely lower fee on large trucks, according to their Springfield sheet. It lobks like they must have a lot of big truck companies as members and are not particularly interested in * our rfoad program. „ Certainly every vehicle on the road should pay at least an equal amount per pound of gross weight whether it is truck or passenger «ar. As it is new, passenger. cars pay considerable more per pound and those aren't the road pounding pounds at that. Recently we reported a farm within two miles of Woodstock just getting electricity for the first time. We liked to report that because it was progress. However, Sunday we saw, within four miles of Woodstock, something we were shocked to see--a farmer had a large corn field all raked and was "urning the stalks off in long neat rows. There are about six things I would like to say here but such things are best left unsaid. A total of 99.44 per cent of Mc- Henry county farmers know what these things are and that is about as good a coverage as we could expect to get. '. We recently were criticized for evaluating a stubble field with last year's combined straw on it at $10 per acre damage after it was burned off and we will stick by it. Spend a few hours with us in our soil laboratory, handling all kinds qf soil all day long, and you would soon learn why we are placing the value we do on trash plowed under. Clods just won't hold any air or water and 95 percent of any plant is made by the combination of air of water i» some form or other. Do Vour cows always stick their heads through the fence and eat on the other side? They just aren't ornery, they're hungry. Take the clue to your pasture condition and have your •oil tested to find* out-why they do it. The answer will be there without a doubt. It takes over 40 bushels to pay the production costs of an acre of corn at land prices as we find them in McHenry county and corn at $1.50 per bushel. Yes, we had corn last year of fantastic proportions, whether we fertilized or not, but we won't always have corn like that. I know of corn that only yielded thirty-five bushels last year on inherently good land so its possible to lose money. The state Department of Agriculture is announcing a 1953 "Save Soil For Illinois" contest, according to Leslie W. Ueiser, Superintendent . of the t>ivision of Soil Conservation. Clarence Aavang of Greenwood was our ccunty contest winner" last year. There are farmers in the county whcf afe doing an exceptional job of .saAing the top soil and using each iPre accotding to its capabilities and as a result are improving the Standard of living for their family, - • The degree cf "hick" that a farme" and his family is depends on the degree that he uses his soil to the best, if its capabilities. A farmer has to have a philosophy in order to bo successful-- a philosophy that carries him over the rough spot.-? with his ideals burning on the horizon ahead. Paul Montavon of De- Kalb county whom we invited up to speak at Troxell's Implement place in Hebron last week is a farmer with a philosophy. He can quote poetry from the great poets like "Dickens that he thinks is a message to him to be a good farmer. He said most farmers don't leave the.i> machinery stand out all winter so why let your soil stand bare all winter with no cover-up if nature will gladly build a suitable roof of grass when given half a chance. i_l ' THE McHENRY PLAINDEALEft, Page if 1?

Safety* Service Qt AILS^iND PHEASANTS Favorable weather, breeding stock of high quality, and improved method§ of feeding and handling have combined to push production of quail and pheasant eggs on the Illinois game farms at Mount Vernon and Yorkville at least two weeks ahead of average schedules. Glen D. Palmer, director of the state Department of Conservation, announcing this early start, said the first setting of pheasant eggs was made April 9, earliest date known in the division of Rinie propagation. It requires 24 days to hatch pheasant eggs, so the first group of chicks should come out . of the incubators about May '3. There are about 4,000 eggs % in this first setting ' at Mount Vernon, and the size of settings will be stepped up steadily until the hatching season ends in June.. More than 100,000 pheasant chick? are expected to be available for distribution this season.

Nitrogen on small grain pays; Six years of barley tests in McHenry county from 1947-1952, shows an average yield <>f 2i;2 bushels with no fertilization: 34.1 bushels with 750 pounds of O-S-8; *41 bushels with 750 pounds 8-8-0; and 42.6 bushels with 8-8-8. You could draw the conclusion that the phosphate and potash in the Jnixtures could have been left out. That isn't the case, however, because nitrogen alone would probably have caused severe lodging and the success of getting a stand of grass and legumes depends on fresh readily available phosphate and potash. Mis. Robert Kanatz of Spring1 Grove calls our attention to the | tests run in Minnesota using vegetable fat in calf starters, where the calves so fed all died. \ I called this to the attention of the- sponsors . of the new vogetaole fat calf ^starter 'way last winter. Their answer was, "oh!, those- tests . where some unrefined fats were used-- the tests sponsored by the American Dairy Association?" Paul Johnson, in the April 18 Prairie Farmer, in his "Ten tasks for Dairy " Men", Says, under tas^c number 1 about research, "what we have been hoping for ~ts~ evidence that the substitutes (such as vegetable oil) are very much inferior, or even harmful. A lot of research has been done along this line, but, most of the results have been disapp inting to the dairyman.
