Rosen Instructor- Ornamental Horticulture McHenry County College I have always found the propagation of house plants to be a relatively easy, yet ex­ tremely rewarding hobby. When showing off your plants, think of the added pleasure and pride in being able to say, "Oh, I did not buy that plant, I grew it from a tiny cutting.'; The vegetative part used depends on the plant being propagated. Coleus, geranium,1 ivy, philodendron, some cactus, and everblooming begonias are propagated by rooting a vigorous, 3-4 inch terminal or lateral shoot from the parent plant.

Intermatic Plaza Rte. 12 & Winn Rd. Spring Grove, Illinois 815-675-2321 2/20-2/22 usually propagated by leaf bud cuttings, Simply divide the main stem into sections, making sure that each segment bears a leaf. New plants of both Philodendron and Scindapsus are frequently produced in this manner. Several plants like strawberry begonia, flame violet, and Chlorophytum naturally send out runners to form new plantlets. The small plants at the end of the runners can be pinched off and rooted. Instead of burying the young plant, place a hairpin over it, and genUy press down until the bottom of the plantlet is just below the soil surface. Plants that develop cane-like stems, e.g. Chinese evergreen, dracaena, dieffenbachia, and Hawaiian Ti, are most readily propagated by cane cuttings. Cut the cane into sections. Each segment should contain at least two leaf scars. Between the leaf scars lie dormant buds. Once cut, the piece of cane is laid horizontally under the soil surface with the dormant eye (bud) facing upward. Even­ tually, this bud will sprout, and develop into a new plant. Large, woody stemmed plants like fiddle-leaf fig, In­ dian rubber, and schefflera are generally propagated by air layering. Two techniques may be used: Either cut the stem halfway through, holding the slit open with a small wedge, or slice off a shallow band (V wide) around the entire stem. <1 PERSONALS SHARON (NEE MAHALLEK) please call a friend of your tether "Mike" (608) 754-3465 (collect). 2-20/2-22 *SK 2-20/2-22 M HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY MARILYN Sorry I can't be with you today YOUR YOUNGER SISTER 2-20 E.S.P.

Call for appointment Miss Elaine 312-639-5121 2-20/2-22 Cuts should go only as deep as-- the cambial tissue located right beneath the bark. Too deep a cut will sever the con­ ducting tissues, and thus cause the top to die back. In order to provide a medium for the adventitous roots, moist sphagnum is bound in a ball around the cut, and covered with plastic. To prevent rapid drying out of the sphagnum, the plastic is bound to the stem with rubber friction tape. Within a month, new roots will form in the ball of moss. When thci roots become visible through the plastic, the plant is severed just below the new root zone and potted. Clump forming plants like African violet, ferns, and prayer plant can be separated into several smaller plants as pots become over-crowded. When dividing a plant, gently separate the root ball, removing only as much soil as is required to determine where the cuts should be made. If they are to prosper, newly divided plants must have root systems proportional to their top growth.

Instructor - Ornamental Horticulture McHenry County College "I enjoyed your column on foliar house plants, and am anxiously looking forward to the one covering flowering varieties. I guess that I have experimented indoors with just about every type of blossoming plant imaginable. Un­ fortunately, my efforts energies generally meet with failure. I carefully follow the instruction tags that come with the plants, so I know that I am providing the correct amounts of light, water, and fertilizer. It is not that my plants die. At this moment, they are all growing quite lushly. My problem centers around a distinct lack of bloom. Oh, my plants get buds alright; however, nine times out of ten the little things flop sadly over a day or two before they appear ready to open. Frustrating is as grod a word as any to describe my feelings each time I see a big fat bud beginning to droop. Is my house bewitched, or am I fighting some form of super pathogenic fungus? "By the way, using the latin names is a great idea. A long time ago I found out that by spouting the scientific nomenclature I was not only better able to communicate my wants to greenhouse and nursery personnel, but also received prompter service, and, once in a great while, a break on the price." First let me assure you, beyond all reasonable doubt, that you are not attempting to combat an extremely virulent pathogen. As for your home being haunted by some sadistic, flower-hating hobgoblin, I, personally, do not believe in ghosts; however, assuming such amorphous creatures exist, the odds of them singling out your flower buds as a target are astronomical. After all, who dislikes brightly hued blooms? The spirit of a frustrated gardener? Highly unlikely. The solution to your problem is realy quite simple: raise the relative humidity around the plants by misting daily. You j1. will, providing all the other •4 cultural parameters have been met,- find that not only will more flower buds be produced, but that all will open. I rem$gnber, while still an un- defjgraduate student at €^rnell university, being asked on a final examination the question: "Why has the average home been likened to the Great American Desert?" The an­ swer is simply that the per cent relative humidity in both is extremely low. When surrounded by warm to hot, dry air the flower buds of many species swell to a certain size and then turn brown. -Why? Because most of the moisture in the young sepals, petals, and pedicel has been pulled out in to the atmosphere. Remember, water moves from wet to dry areas. Gesneriads are particularly infamous in this regard. Have you ever purchased or raised a gloxinia? The plant sets up many flower buds, and then boom, right before the buds are ready to open the pedicel (bud stalk) turns brown. Plop! Scratch one flower. Mad­ dening! Right? Okay, spray the plant with water daily, and like magic all buds will burst forth in colorful splendor.

Last seen in the A.M., vicinity LH near Val Mar, 815-344-1973. I, Feb. {toad, • 2-20 Roger C. Beck, district director of Internal Revenue Service offices in northern Illinois, estimates that more than 30 percent of the tax­ payers can file their federal income tax returns for 1973 on the Form 1040A. Beck said that the number of taxpayers who claim the standard deduction ranges somewhere between 40 and 60 percent. Form 1040A is especially designed for tax­ payers claiming the standard deduction and for persons who have income only from wages, salaries, dividends and in­ terest. On the 1973 Form 1040A, there is no longer any limit on the amounts of those types of income that can be reported on thqt form. Furthermore, the taxpayer may simply enter the information foHrtS exemptions, the total amounts of income, and have the Internal Revenue Service compute the tax, regardless of the total amount of income. However, the u. structions have all the necessary information for the taxpayer to compute the tax, if he chooses to do so. The director said that the elimination of limitations on amounts of income that can be reported on Form 1040A has simplified the instructions and the form itself. He added that page 2 of the instructions for Form 1040A include reminders of situations where the tax­ payer may get a lower tax by filing the regular Form 1040 and that page 7 has a list of toll free telephone numbers where taxpayers may call Internal Revenue Service offices for answers to questions. IDENTIFY PAYMENTS Which Jones, Smith or Brown are you? You may be the only in­ dividual in your block with that last name, perhaps even your city. But on a nation-wide basis there are few if any individuals who have an "only one" distinction. It's no surprise then to learn that the Internal Revenue Service often has problems in determining which Jones, Smith or Brown writes in with a request or sends in a check. But there is one way in which you differ from everyone else - your Social Security number. No one else has the same combination of nine numbers. The Internal Revenue Ser­ vice urges all taxpayers to use this number when sending in correspondence or checks. Roger C. Beck, district director for northern Illinois, said today that many problems in identifying correspondence and checks could be avoided if taxpayers wrote their Social Security number on each item. "Every year, even every day, IRS receives requests for information from taxpayers without any identification except a name," he said. "If you include your Social Security number there is no problem in properly identifying each taxpayer. It is also im­ portant to clearly explain when sending in a remittance what type of tax you are paying." Toll-free telephone numbers are listed on page 2 of the in­ structions with the 1040 tax package and page 7 of the 1040A tax package. Local numbers are also listed in some in­ stances. "This service allows tax­ payers anywhere in the state the opportunity of obtaining tax information without long distance charges," the Director said. Consumers' Corner Treat Stains Soon As Possible Your favorite soap or detergent could well be the best stain re­ mover in your household. It's al­ ways on hand, inexpensive and safe to use. So the next time you find a problem stain on a washable fabric, try-one of the following methods: For blood or meat juices, soak soiled area in cold water about 30 minutes. If stain remains, work soap or detergent into the stain,. rinse, launder as usual. For chocolate, gravy or lipstick stains, work paste of soap or de­ tergent into stain. Launder as usual. If grease remains, spopge with cleaning fluid. To remove milk, egg or I cream stains, soak fabrics in cold water, rub paste or soap or deter­ gent into stain, launder as usual. To get rid of paint spatters, soak fabric in turpentine or paint remover. Rub paste of soap or de­ tergent into stain, launder as usual. The longer the stains are left on fabrics, the more difficult they ' are to remove. In some instances, snots will remain regardless of the procedure used. Year-to-year changes iiQ pesticide regulations and use recommendations make it difficult for dealers and ap­ plicators to keep up-to-date. But McHenry county agricultural pesticide dealers and applicators can get the latest pest-control information and recommendations at an Agricultural Pesticide Dealers and Applicators clinic at the Holiday Inn-South, Larkin and 1-80 in Joliet March 1. The Joliet clinic is one of ten such clinics scheduled throughout the state during February and early March. A representative of the Illinois State Department of Agriculture will administer examinations for agricultural custon-spray applicators and operators licenses at the end of each clinic. A study booklet, "A Guide For The Custom Application Of Pesticides in Illinois" has been prepared by U. of I. specialists to provide information on safe and effective pesticide use. The guide is especially helpful to those who want to take the custom operator's license examination. The pesticide guide is available at the clinic or at your McHenry County Extension service office in Woodstock. FUEL ALLOCATION The Mandatory - Fuel Allocation regulations became effective Feb. 1. The regulations include allocations for crude oil, residual fuel oil, and all refined petroleum products. All fuels used for farming - LP-gas, gasoline, diesel fuels and aviation fuels- are included in the allocation program. The program provides "to the extent practicable and necessary," for the "main­ tenance of agricultural operations, including farming, ranching, dairy, and fishing activities, and services directly related thereto". Under current regulations agriculture is the only fuel user assured of getting 100 percent of current requirements. All other fuel consumers are subject to cutbacks. Eafch quarter of the year, the estimated crude oil supply will be divided among refiners according to their capacity. Refiners can produce no more than a specified fraction of the gasoline they produced during the same period in 1972. The initial fraction specified by the Federal Energy office is 95 percent, but the figure may be revised quarterly. Refiners are urged to maximize the production of distillates - the product used for furnace oil and diesel fuels. The allocation for LP-Gas, gasoline, and diesel fuel should provide adequate fuel for farm operations. However, our high rating - 100 percent of current requirements shouldn't be abused. Agriculture has the responsibility to cut fuel con­ sumption as much as possible without sacrificing yields. And fuel cuts can be made. The important thing now is to decide how much fuel you need and to make those needs known to your supplier. You must certify that the fuel is needed for farming operations. Your local fuel supplier needs fuel requirement information from all customers so he can submit Federal Energy office form 17 (FEO-17) to the cop ^regional Federal Energy office,/-available at county ASCS of- 175 W. Jackson, Chicago, 111. fices-on file in the State Fuel requirements by making ad­ ditional tillage necessary. To qualify for a hardship fuel allocation, you must have a py of form PAP-20--also 60604. The form will soon be available at county ASCS of­ fices. Also effective Feb. 1, the State Fuel Allocation offices receive 4 percent of the state supply of diesel fuel and 3 percent of the supply of gasoline for emergency allocation. For example, a wet spring coultTincrease farm fuel Allocation office, 516 E. Maine, Springfield, 111. 62701. Representatives of the allocation office recommend that you submit PAP-20 im­ mediately. We may have an excellent spring and no need for ad­ ditional fuel, but "Mother Nature" has played tricks on farmers before.
