Trom The Farm . ANHYDROUS AMMONIA If wet field conditions con­ tinue, farmers in many parts of Illinois will soon be hard pressed for time. And in an effort to get caught up, many will apply anhydrous ammonia and plant corn in short order. High concentrations of anhydrous ammonia are toxic to seeds, roots, and young corn seedlings, says Fred Welch, University of Illinois agronomist. In some cases, seeds may not germinate. In other cases, emergence may appear nor­ mal, but the plants may die later. Root development is restricted by the ammonia concentration in the surrounding soil and the roots are incapable of supplying adequate water and nutrients to the young plants. The best way to prevent ammonia damage is to keep the ammonia separated from the seed or seedling by placing the ammonia deeply in the soil. There should be little - if any - danger if you place anhydrous ammonia a minimum of seven inches deep. Another way to reduce the chances of plant injury is to increase the time between ammonia application and planting. • But unless the weather breaks soon, there may be little time between preplant ap­ plication and corn planting this season. If you face this situation, plant the corn immediately after you apply ammonia rather than delay planting to increase the interval between application and planting. KEEP MILKING ROUTINE Don't let the pressure of field work interfere with your regular milking routine this spring. Dairy cows conform to routines and they may become upset if the milking routine varies greatly from day to day. contents "FLY, YOU RASCALS, FLY!' University - of ^ Illinois research shows that milking intervals clo not have to be equal in order to maintain high production, but the intervals should be regular from day to day. NUTRIENT NEEDS You can turn dairy heifers on a good legume - grass pasture when the calves are 5 to 6 months old. But dairy heifers should be at least a year old before you allow them to depend entirely on pasture. Feed two to four pounds of grain mixture per calf each day to supply the nutrients needed for normal growth. Use the Same grain mixture you feed TREE PLANTING - Students at Edgebrook school are shewn planting a tree in the school yard during ceremonies held recently. The Norway Maple tree was given to the school by the Edgebrook P.T.O. Dale Houghton, P.T.O. president, shown in center, dug the h«|; ||d Jim Zeller and Ray Miller, fifth grade students, assisted iirtne planting. The fifth grade select chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Marlene Doukas, sang "This is my Father's World" during the program. WEIGHING STATION u.s.

The tip of the blade on a 20- inch rotary-type mower travels 240 miles an hour. When a blade hits a rock or piece of wire at that speed, it can throw it a great distance with terrific force. So, start this spring by clearing your lawn of rocks and other objects before you start to mow. Keep children off the lawn or out of the area you're mowing because you may overlook some potential missile. Keep mower blades sharp. You will have a prettier lawn if you do. Regulate blade height and speed -- both are im­ portant. And be sure all safety shields are in place. Keep your hands, feet, and loose clothing away from moving parts. And wear leather shoes, or better yet, shoes with steel caps on the toes. Mowing in sandals is asking for 'rouble. You may- end up with missing toes. If your mower is self- propelled. don't let it pull you. Mow across steep slopes, PAGE 19-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1972 TURN ONS j May 15th WHY poas GRAN PA REAP THE 3/e>LE SO MUCH?

Price Commission Chairman Jackson Grayson recently, •predicted that consumers would soon begin receiving "hun­ dreds of millions of dollars" in price reductions, some in­ volving refunds to customers. This bold prediction--encouragement for consumers and those concerned with the recent high rate of inflation--is based on the expectation of the Price Commission con­ cerning quarterly reports on profit margins. The mandatory reports, for the first quarter of 1972, are to be in the hands of the Commission by May 15th. If Grayson's forecast proves accurate, inflation may be sharply slowed and organized labor's prime objections U) thr Nixon economic stabilization program, that wages are controlled but not prices, would be partially met.
