«»•*»»>!'w»i it wuiiifi" «p«r mm* 5*fSWPVffW!P «ipr MKW By W. H. Tuunras Have you got bugs in your alfalfa? If they are a little green bug of a shape that wouldn't get far on the Atlantic City Broadwalk you've got aphids. They just suck the sap out and if you get enough of them the alfalfa will look like its dying. The weevil, a little brown to black bug with a snout, eats the edges off the leaves but he isn't so numerous, we found. L&dy bugs with orange jackets will be found in numbers where the aphids are at work. The lady bug pounces on the aphid and drains him of life juices and then washes him down with the carcase. Aphids apparently don't bother ladino or red clover, but the bigger the alfalfa the 'worse they are. Friend Pete Perty, the U. of I. bug man, says to use as a spray Parathion at two tenths pound per acre, or Benzene Hexachloride at 3 pounds per acre of 10 percent stuff for aphids. Parathion is sort of dahgeroua to the man putting it on. D.D.T. at 1\'2 pounds per acre M an emulsion is effective c-n weevils and temporarily effective on aphids. Temperature must be at least 60 degrees before much success can be expected. There should be a lapse of three weeks for Benzene Hexaohioride from the time it's put on 'till it can safely be made for hay or silage. Do you know what SNAFU means? It came from the war and means "Situation Normal, All Fouled Up". That is the Observation of the corn-prime beef situation. With corn at a high government support price of $1.58 we will find beef herds dispersed and many acres of soil conserving crops plowed up to make way for millions of acres of corn for government storage. One curt observer said that in 1954, there will be a reduction in com acreage because there will be corn cribs on so much land that farmers Won't be able to plant as much. ^ » IflC ta tfee. dictionary, "if tfr the Mine. Jepeon has ft number of calves that have been raised on it and all look slick as moles. He figures whole milk would have to sell for about $2.50 per cwt. to cc^hpete. / Many questions come in about emergency hay and pasture. You might do like two young up and coming farmers are doing <n the northeast part of the court? y. I won't mention names because maybe they wouldn't like it. One has lots of hay and no good corn land, while the other lost his seeding and has good corn land. They are trading crops >n the field on shares. Oats are our best bet formally pasture and should be pastured in fairly small areas with electric fence. Start when the oats is about 8 inches high. Sow 1 bushel soybeans of a hay variety and broadcast 20 pounds of regular sudan on top the ground following and drag it in. About 1 acre for 5 cows is about right. This will be ready about July 1, if sown by May 20, and will be good through September or until frost. Oats for silage is good if put up in- the soft dough stage. It contains about 6 per cent digestable protein as compared to 8.5 percent for corn silage and 1 percent for alfalfa silage. vOne nice thing about this is that if it gets real dry the oats can be taken off and stop its competition with you seeding for moisture. Another thing is that if you find your oats lodging in patches these patches could very well be "piit iii the silo and save it smothering yOur seeding. All prices received by itltnols farmers on April 15, was 262 per cent of the 1910-14 average, down, 1 per tfetat since March 15 and 9 per ctiftt below April 15, 1952. The first sell we tested in our laboratory was for G e o r g e i Berg of Alden township on July 1, 1945. The first five included Oeotge J. Smith, McHenry, John Nehiler, Hebron, Gordon Peacock, Woodstock and J. A. Wilson, Woodstock. The first full farm tested was Roy Lundln's in Riley township on August 8. This is from our old register book. The Farmer's youftg bride from the city was having trouble making oxtail soup. Every time the water got too hot the ox lifted his tail out of the pot. Traffic Accidents ' Can Be Prevented Only you can' prevent' traffic accidents. If this strikes you as an unreasonable charge, you need- to read the annual publication of traffic accident put cut by a leading insurance oompany data in which atatisticans have dissected the anatomy of Street and highway safety. 1 You would learn that 37,600 persons were killed and 2,090.000 injured by motor vehicle accidents last year. Turning- the booklet's pages, you would find Out why 1952 made tragic history as the most disastrous year for traffic casualties we have ever erperienced. It is clear from this report that most of last year's accidents could have been- avoided. Most of them were caused by drivers and pedestrians in control of the circumstances which got them into trouble. The conclusion is inescapable: the qccjdent problem can be solved only by those who do the driving walking. , *' Only you can prevent traffic accidents. • BUSIEST.
