STORED-GRAIN INSECTS READY FOR THE HARVEST While Illinois farmers arc busy picking corn, stored-grain insects patiently wait for their share --one out of every ten ears of corn cribbed. University of Illinois extension entomologist Steve Moore says it's a safe bet that every Illinois corn crib hosts two or more different species of stored-grain insects. Actually these insects are smooth operators. All they do is live and eat in the cribs. Right now they are just sitting around waiting for farmers to bring them a fresh food supply. To tide them over, many farmers leave old corn in the crib cracks and crevices. Here's how Moore suggests cutting the insects' harvest ta£: 1. Sweep out all old grain and other debris inside and under the crib. 2. Spray ceiling, walls and floor. Use a 2.5 per ce;nt methoxychior or 1.5 malathion solution. 3. II you're storing shelled corn for several months, treat the grain as you store it with either a -premium-grade malathion spray or a dust. Do not apply before drying. Moore cautions farmers to carefully read all directions on the insecticides before using them. 13 MILLION GIRLS ENROLLED TN 4-H PROGRAM Virtually all 4-H club girls believe that woman's place is in the home, if the more than a million engaged in a home economics project could be quoted. At any rate, the future wives and mothers are preparing early for woman's destined role: that of homemaker. Perhaps more aptly today she should he called "homekeeper." According to statistics released by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, some 1.3 million girls between the ages of 10 and 21 in fifty states belong lo 1-H clubs. And judging from interest in projects such as cooking, sewing, interior decorating and home management the young ladies are anxious to learn how to do a fivst-rate job. Each year members recount achievements and submit their records in county, state and national competition. The last week of November six outstanding girls will be n a m e d n a t i o n a l w i n n e r s a n d receive $400 scholarships.

OUTLINES PROGRAM More planning assistance to counties and municipalities and an intensified attack on the Chicago metropolitan area's transportation problem are two key objectives of a 1962 budgetary goal set by the Northeastern Illinois Metropolitan Area Planning commission. At a quarterly meeting held Thursday, Oct. 19, the commission approved a goal of $350,000 for its 1962 operations -- 16% more than the $300,000 sought in 1961. Under its enabling act, the Planning commission has no fixed source of incomer it is supported by contributions from both governments and private sources. Currently, these include the state of Illinois, six counties, forty-four corporations and charitable organizations, and the city of Chicago and sixty-one other northeastern Illinois municipalities. The commission also requests and obtains matching-fund grants for specific projects from federal agencies. The commission is an advisory agency established by the state of Illinois to guide planning efforts aimed at solving critical area-wide problems of the six-county northeastern Illinois metropolitan area. Its members are appointed by the governor of Illinois, the county board chairmen of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, 'McHenry and Will counties, and the mayor of Chicago. Along with adoption of a tentative budget, the Planning commission approved specific steps to implement the budget, including an intensified drive for contributions from industries and municipalities, and a requeist for support from national foundations. A review by Patul Oppermann, executive director, of proposed commission activities for 1962 included the following: A program now being prepared would provide counties and municipalities with general advisory services including specialized planning advice and services; primers and manuals on the operation and administration of planning activities, and local conferences and seminars. Transportation, steps will be initiated that are expected to lead to an integrated comprehensive transoortation plan for the metropolitan area. The first step, Oppermann stated,_ will be to "assay and fvjlly" utilize all existing data"-- in* arriving at an understanding^ of the metropolitan transportation problem, including alterna-^ tive means of solution and! their public policy implications^ It's better to give than toC-- ceive, because giving is deduc-^ tible, and receiving isn't.
