Rosen Instructor - Ornamental Horticulture McHenry County College "Help! Oh, please help me My plants have been hit by a terrible blight. Almost all of the leaves on my gorgeous old Norway maple have become twisted and curled. Why, they no longer look like leaves. I hesitate to say it, but the foliage on the tree seems to be throwing some sort of fit. Is this possible? I mean car. a tree actually have convulsions? "Leaf shape is not the only- problem. Their color is simolv ghastly. Why, from the sickly, yellow-green hue one would imagine that I literally have beerfttarving the tree to death. Believe me, nothing could be further from the truth. My husband is absolutely a nut about fertilizing. Religiously, every spring and autumn he feeds our trees and shrubs with a Ross Root Feeder. "...and my poor yews. All the new needles are brown and contorted. I am so upset. Similar symptoms are present on our three crabapples, two honeysuckles, five lilacs, two mock orange, and one oak. "I am, as you can well tell by the tone of my letter, panic stricken. What have 1 possibly done wrong? We water regularly during ?thehot,dry summer months, and always do the necessary pruning. Should we see creepy - crawly creatures, out comes the tank sprayer, and on goes the properly prescribed dose of an all purpose insect spray. "Have other gardeners reported the same type of damage? What can be done? This thing, whatever is causing the problem, literally struck its devastating blow overnight. (No kidding, either my husband or I check our plants daily so that we can catch potential pathogens before they can cause serious harm.) Unfortunately, the problem, now one week old, seems to be getting wors^. "Any thoughts you have on the subject would be greatly appreciated by, I am sure, a lot of frustrated green thumbs. Certainly by all the residents on our block, for they too are suffering the same fate." Although I cannot be 100 percent certain without inspecting a sample, I am ninety-nine percent positive that a carelessly used weed killer (herbicide) is the culprit, and not any living insect or disease organism. Remember, we defined a weed as simply being "a plant out of place." Unfortunately, a herbicide like 2,4-D cannot tell the difference between a dandelion and an oak tree. Present in sufficient quantities, the chemical will do an extremely efficient job of killing both. The potency of the herbicides commonly used to combat weeds on home lawns can be dramatically pointed up by the fact that many of these I River Rights close 4 lots. 50' x 125' each. $1,800.00 Idyle Dell Subdivision 1 mile south of Mr Henry West of the River OWNER 815-385-2093 6/12-7/24 REAL ESTATE WINDY PRAIRIE ACRES 3/4 to 2 ACRE SITES CHOICE LOCATION Johnsburg Area 815-675-2065 chemicals were the same materials used in Southeast Asia as jungle defoliants during the Vietnam war. The infamous agent orange responsible for laying bare thousands of acres of dense jungle was nothing more than a combination of 2,4- D and 2,4,5-T, two widely used lawn weed killers. No need for undue concern. Used according to directions neither chemical will render leafless a tree or shrub. Applied at full strength, however, severe damage, it not death, is a distinct, albeit unpleasant possibility. I regret to say that you need not have applied the herbicide. Your trees and shrubs may sim^Jy be showing signs of someone else's stupidity. Most weed killers are highly volatile. If put down on a hot and-or windy day, the chemical will, in , all likelihood, change into a gas, oand drift merrily along, settling out, and causing selective damage to trees and shrubs along the way. I know of one fully documented case where a herbicide sprayed along a highway on a hot day caused considerable injury to trees, and shrubs for a distance of five miles down wind. What can be done to counteract the effects of a h e r b i c i d e o v e r d o s e ? Unfortunately, not a thing. The chemical is already inside the plant. Why the unique symptoms? Weed killers actually cduse a plant to grow to death; that is, the cells are dividing at an abnormally rapid rate. Bound by the upper and lower surfaces of the leaf, the inner cells push and shove, applying tremendous pressure. The twists and bumps are simply a reflection of the compacted mass of cells within. E v e n t u a l l y m e m b r a n e s rupture, and the entire plant collapses. The strange coloration is a result of interrupted physiological plant processes. Happily, in all probability, the outlook is not all that bleak. Death is by no means a forgone c o n c l u s i o n . C o n t i n u e d symptom expression for the next couple of years, however, is. Two, more usually three years must pass before normal leaves will again appear. ' Well, our time is just about up for today. Before closing, let me spread the word about one herbicide I feel should never, but never, be used on home grounds where trees and shrubs are present. Sold under the trade names of Banvel-D and Dicamba, this chemical, unlike the other common lawn herbicides on the market, is readily absorbed by the roots of trees and shrubs. When applying weed killers always read and follow the directions on the product to the letter. If you have a question wait and consult either your local garden center or myself. As the proverb says: "It is better to be safe than sorry." FROM THE FARM 6/12-7/5 Watching a 4-H Horse show can be lots of fun if you know what is being judged, says Dave Plocher, McHenry county Extension adviser. There are four basic classes in 4-H horse shows. They are halter, showmanship, pleasure and horsemanship. In a halter class, the judge is selecting the best animals as winners. Conformation and way of going are primary considerations, but a good disposition is also important. Showmanship classes test the exhibitor's ability to prepare and show his horse at halter. The horse must be properly groomed and trained and the exhibitor must be able to show the horse correctly and alertly. Pleasure and horsemanship are unqer saddle classes. They m a v a l s o b e d i v i d e d i n t o Western, Hunt Seat and Saddle Seat divisions. Pleasure classes are judged on the horse as a pleasure animal. "He must be smooth gaited and mannerly. Horsemanship is the ability of a rider to handle and ride his horse. Of course, a good horse and rider combination complement each other in both classes, says Plocher.

I mean, I have exactly two friends and they're even more unpopular than me. The girls don't know I'm alive and boys, they accept me, but that's just because I/tn a great third baseman. And it doesn't help to have a sister like Carla who's the most popular person in the world. If the phone rings and it's not for her, then it's the wrong number. Carla says being popular takes having a certain "look". She thinks I can acquire it, so I'm trying. But so far all I manage totlo is fall flat on my face. GABRIEL: By Jean Doty Gabriel was a newborn puppy, crying in the rain beside his dying mother, when Linda found him in the woods. After nearly a year of love and care, he has become a handsome young dog, Linda's constant companion and friend. But life changes abruptly for both of them when Gabriel is recognized as a valuable pedigreed dog. Legally he belongs to someone else, and Linda must give him up. Her despair at losing Gabriel is eased, however, when she learns that she can share in his training to be a show dog. Soon she is caught up in the challenging and exciting world of dog show competition, a world in which failure can follow success and tragedy result from a moment of carelessness. With warmth and sensitivity, Jean Doty brings to life the story of a very special dog and the girl who loves him. In Gabriel, readers will find appealing characters and a lively, absorbing plot, together with much useful information about raising and showing FLOWER CARE M u l c h i n g , c u l t i v a t i n g , watering. Each is a necessary part of a successful 4-H horticulture project, says Dave Plocher, McHenry county Extension adviser. A mulch is any material used to cover the soil between rows and around plants. Mulches of organic materials keep the soil from crusting, prevent many weeds from growing, reduce moisture evaporation from the soil, and £idd organic matter to the soil. Specialists recommend a check under the mulch occasionally to "see that harmful insects are not thriving there. After flowers or vegetables are planted, the soil should be worked only enough to keep the soil crust broken up, says Plocher. Deep cultivation destroys the roots. The hoe should be sharp and the soil is easiest to work a few days after watering or rain? Most flowers, Plocher says need an inch of water per week. If normal rainfall does not provide this much, watering may be necessary. Water in such a manner that you do not wet the foliage. If water is added slowly, it will be absorbed by the soil rather than running off. A canvas soaker hose works well. A special w a t e r b r e a k e r m a d e f o r watering flowers is better than a regular hose spray nozzle, says Plocher.

He was very curious about everything he saw. One day the nosy colt wanted to know what was on the other side of the fence and he leaned so hard on the wooden bars that they fell down. Nosy went through the gap and explored. He met some animals he had never seen before and his curiosity got him into real trouble. Nils Hogner's appealing story tells how the nosy colt learned through being curious. The lively pictures are by Richard Lebenson.

They'll delight you! But be prepared for some smoke and lots of soap b u b b l e s a l o n g t h e w a y . "Nothing Much Happened Today" is the hilarious story of a chaotic twenty minutes in the Maeberry home. The fun starts when soap bubbles greet Mrs. Maeberry as she returns from the grocery. Then her three children launch into a madcap explanation of just how the cake she made for the school bake sale got ruined. And how the family pet, Popsicle, became a sugar covered dog. A cops and robbers chase on cake icing and a visiting cat add to the excitement as the 4-Her's had the opportunity to attend consumer workshop sessions on such topics as Use, Care, and Selection of Small Appliances; Department Store Credit; Recycling of Solid Wastes; Checking Accounts; Costs of Car Ownership; Consumer Shopping Surveys, and many more topics reader discovers what "nothing much" means to the Maeberry family IT'S ONLY ARNOLD by Brinton Turkle When Arnold found an old theatrical make-up kit in his g r a n d m o t h e r ' s a t t i c , h e decided to ask his friend Sylvia to help make him into a monster. Sylvia mixed colors and patted them onto Arnold's face. He looked awful.. Arnold decided to scare Grandma's big brown dog, Charlie. But Charlie was unimpressed. The next day Arnold tried again, in a disguise even more horrible. He tried to scare Mr. Todd, Grandma's neighbor, and he even tried to scare Grandma, but it was no use. Discouraged and sad, Arnold went to his favorite quiet place for thinking--under Grandma's high, old-fashioned bed. Then something astonishing happened, and Arnold found out that it takes more than a good disguise to frighten people-- and sometimes less. In this delightful story, Brinton Turkle brings a boy's frustration to life with wry humor and sympathy. THE WIZARD ISLANDS by Jane Yolen Mysteries anci islands seem to be natural companions. Jane Yolen has collected a host of spine-tingling stories of ghost- haunted islands, strange tales of disappearing islands, old sailors' yarns of legendary islands whose existence is now doubted, and accounts of some very real islands whose mysteries are being explored by present-day scientists. A pirate's treasure is guarded by a ghostly stallion on one of the "wizard islands" in this fascinating book. Another is the legendary lost island of Atlantis, where a whole civilization is said to have sunk beneath the waters. The Galapagos Islands helped Chr.rles Darwin unravel some O f n a t u r e ' s m y s t e r i e s , a n d Curtsey Island, an island that vanished and then re-created itself, is a brand-new marvel for scientists to explore and explain.

Candlelight Tours Of Old State Capitol Set V.A. NEWS EDITOR'S NOTE: Veterans and their families are asking thousands of questions concerning the benefits their Government provides for them through the Veterans Administration. Below are some representative queries. Additional information may be obtained at any VA office. Q - I was treated for a service-connected disability at a Veterans administration hospital about two years ago, and the ailment has flared up again. Can I get treatment from VA again? A - Yes. Since you have already established service connection for your disability, all you need do is apply for treatment again. Q - I am in the military service, where I work in a medical laboratory. How could I go about getting a similar job with the Vfeterans A d m i n i s t r a t i o n a f t e r I ' m discharged? A - Suggest you contact the personnel office of the nearest VA hospital for information on job opportunities at the agency's hospitals and clinics. Also check on employment under a Veterans R e a d j u s t m e n t A c t appointment, which if you qualify, would eliminate much of the paper work usually associated with Civil Service appointments. Q- The national cemetery in my state has been closed because of lack of space. Will the Veterans Administration pay an additional allowance for my father, a World War II veteran, for burial in a private cemetery? A - Yes. VA is authorized to pay a $150 plot allowance, in addition to the maximum $250 burial benefit, for veteran^ buried outside national cemeteries. Candlelight tours of Springfield's Old State Capitol will be held from 7 to 9:30 every Saturday evening throughout the summer beginning July 6. The final tour will be held Aug. 31. Presentations in keeping with the period 1839-1876 -when the historic building served as the Illinois statehouse -- will be featured during each tour.

Admission is free. All presentations will be given at 7:30 p.m. and repeated at 8:30 in the Old Capitol's Hall of Representatives, except two of the musical programs which will be continuous from 7:15 to 9:15 p.m. "Abe Lincoln's Yarns and Stories" will be told by Basil Moore of Marshall (Clark county) the evening of July 6. Moore's presentation of L i n c o l n ' s h u m o r a n d philosophy is well known throughout central Illinois and Indiana. The Heritage String Quartet, under the direction of Harriet Williams, will play (with only brief intermissions) the evenings of~JulyNta and Aug.3. The quartet, all members of the S p r i n g f i e l d S j N n p h o n y orchestra, will perform works by Mozart, Beethoven, and Haydn. A slide presentation illustrating the $8.5 million reconstruction of Springfield's Old State Capitol will be given July 20 and Aug. 31 by the two men most responsible for the historic authenticity of the reconstruction. James T. Hickey, curator of the Illinois State Historical library's Lincoln collection, and Lowell E . A n d e r s o n , t h e l i b r a r y ' s curator of historic sites, acted as historical consultants during the reconstruction and will demonstrate how the building - once familiar to Lincoln, 15 &J TRUTH MAY HAVE A ST,IN <5, BUT ONCE TOLD IT IS EASY TO REMEM3ER. Douglas, and Ulysses Grant - was recreated. Chicago actor Richard Blake will interpret Abraham Lincoln as storyteller, campaigner, and president-elect on July 27 and Aug. 17. Well-known for his c h a r a c t e r i z a t i o n o f Lincoln, Blake will present "A Look At Lincoln," using the Civil War president's own words. The Aug. 10 feature event will be a dramatization of Abraham Lincoln's celebrated House Divided speech. In the speech of June 16, 1858, Lincoln said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand.' I believe this Government cannot endure, permanently, half slave and half free," thus setting the stage for the Lincoln-Douglas debates. Guy Romans, drama professor at Sangamon State university, is the producer and director of the presentation. - The Menard County Singers, a thirty-voice mixed chorus under the direction of Janice L. Rodes of Sherman, will present two half-hour programs the evening of Aug. 24. They wilj perform songs of the Civil War era and some that were later composed in honor of Abraham Lincoln. During the tours, candles will burn throughout the building in approximately 300 candlesticks and candelabra sockets. Almost 7,000 people visited the Old Capitol during the nine candlelight tours held during the summer of 1973-an average of 730 visitors each Saturday evening. The Old State Capitol is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. except New Year's day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
