SERVICES PAGE 14 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1975 Health Department Survey Low Level Of Encephalitis Carrying House Mosquito Because of the encephalitis threat in Illinois, residents will be relieved to know that light trap and surface water larval surveys in McHenry county indicate a relatively low level of Northern House Mosquito activity. Cooler climate and less favorable mosquito breeding conditions for the mosquito in this area, should keep the St. Louis encephalitis (sleeping sickness) from spreading into this county, according to the McHenry County Department of Health. The Culex Pipiens (Northern House Mosquito) is one of the chief carriers of the disease in Illinois. The Northern House Mosquito develops from eggs which are deposited in clusters directly on the surface of the water in^ilmost any collection of stagnant water including all types of discarded containers, rain barrels, old tire casings, street catch basins, seepage or leachate from refuse, polluted ground pools, cesspools and especially from untreated or inadequately treated municipal sewage together with effluent from improperly designed private sewage disposal systems. Fortunately, this mosquito stays close to its breeding sites and bites only in the evenings. During the day the adult mosquito rests in secluded areas including, but not limited to, the walls of storm sewers, drain tiles, culverts, catch basins, chicken houses and similar locations. The McHenry County Department of Health officials recommend that the following preventive measures be taken by residents of this county on their own property to help reduce the mosquito population. 1 - Turn upside down all receptacles, such as tubs, flower vases, etc. Remove all temporary water containers and dispose of all tin cans; 2 - Store bicycle and auto tires indoors after emptying them of water; 3 - Screen or tightly cover rain barrels and openings to water tanks, tubs or cisterns; 4 - Repair leaky plumbing and outside faucets; 5 - Tightly cover septic tanks and have failing septics repaired; 6 - Empty and wash out all bird baths at least once a week; 7 - Clean out rain gutters; 8 - Drain and fill stagnant pools and swampy places. If pools cannot be drained or filled, remove debris and floating vegetation; 9 - Ornamental pools should be checked for mosquito larvae (wigglers) at least once a week and may be stocked with mosquito eating fish; 10 - Damaged screens should be repaired; 11 - Avoid dense foliage where mosquitos are found during the day; 12 - Use mosquito repellent when outdoors in the evening when mosquitos are biting. The McHenry County Department of Health Mosquito Control personnel are con tinuing to survey all potential breeding sites so that they can be treated with a larvicide to destroy the larvae if any are found. Also, all local hospitals have been contacted and will notify the Department of any suspected encephalitis cases admitted so that further preventive measures can be taken if necessary.

Young, Ex tension Adviser, Agriculture, McHenry County) Livestock Waste Tour - This tour of feedlot waste controls held Sept. 2 was a success. Seventy-nine area livestock producers visited three feedlots in Kane and DeKalb counties. They looked at two settling basins with holding ponds, and a cold confinement set-up. Bob Schwart, University of Illinois Economist, reviewed grain and livestock outlook, and Jim Frank, with the Illinois EPA, reviewed the proposed Illinois Livestock Waste Regulations. If you missed this event, you may want to call our office, 815- 338-3737 or 338-4747, for a copy of the State of Illinois E.P.A. Livestock Waste Regulations; Design Criteria For Field Application of Livestock Waste, and University of Illinois Fall Outlook Letter. We also have a supply of the new publication. Livestock Waste Management with Pollution Control. Accidents - Farming is the third most hazardous oc cupation in the United States. It follows mining and con struction in mumber of ac cidents per 1,000 workers. This doesn't have to be this way. Think safety -- for your sake. Power Lawn Renovation - Fall is the best time to repair thin bluegrass lawns. The weather is usually cooler and there may be rain. Also weeds which are a problem in spring sown lawns do not usually germinate in fall. And, maximum growth of bluegrasses occurs in Sep tember and October. In recent years, various types of lawn renovating machinery have come into use. These machines slice through the thatch into the soil removing much of the dead organic material and leaving healthy grass. The fixed blade type of machines do make a reasonably good seedbed, and have been used successfully at the University of Illinois turf research plots in Urbana. These machines do have limitations and will not work if there is a thick organic thatch (over 1 inch thick), if annual bluegrass has been a problem, if the grading of the land is poor, or if the soil is very compact or very sandy. The following renovating procedure should improve many lawns. Start before mid- September. Get rid of broadleaved weeds, use a hormone type weed killer and wait two weeks until weeds have been killed. Cut the lawn as short as possible. Rent a renovating machine or have a landscape gardener do the job. The machine should slice through the mat into the soil. Do a thorough job. Remember that grass seed will germinate dependably only when it is planted in the soil. Rake up and dispose of debris. Apply a complete fertilizer (one that contains nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash). Use the rates recommended by the manufacturer. If two rates are given on the bag use the higher one. Spread seed. If parts of the lawn look good, put only a little seed over them. Use one to two pounds of bluegrass or three to four pounds of a suitable, high quality seed mixture per thousand square feet in areas where there is more open soil. Water lightly daily or even twice daily until seedlings are up and then gradually increase the interval between waterings and the amount of water ap plied at each watering.

USDA Postpones 1976 Wheat Allotment Notices Wheat allotment notices, usually issued in August by U S D A ' s A g r i c u l t u r a l Stabilization and conservation Service (ASCS), will be com bined with 1976 feed grain notices and issued after the first of next year, Jimmie D. Lucas, county executive director of the McHenry County ASCS office, reported. "By issuing only one allot ment notice instead of three, we expect to cut county office expenses and increase ef ficiency in program ad ministration," Lucas said. The 1976 national wheat allotment of 61.6 million acres is 15 percent above the 1975 allotment. "Farmers who plan to plant wheat this fall can closely estimate their own 1976 wheat allotment by increasing their" 1975 allotment by 15 percent." Representing the number of acres of wheat needed to meet projected domestic and export demand, the national wheat allotment is used as a basis for making payments to wheat growers should the market price for wheat fall below the established target price, or if growers qualify for disaster payments. Lucas pointed out that no acreage set-aside will be required as a condition of eligibility for loans, target price and disaster payments and that the farm wheat allotment in no way limits the number of acres of wheat that may be planted. "Therefore, the size of the allotment will have no effect on winter wheat planting plans," Lucas said. Applicants for all ASCS programs will be given equal consideration without regard to race, color, sex, creed or national origin. For And About Teenagers HOW SHOULD ASK HER J ̂ THIS WEEK'S LETTER: 1 am 15e years old and I like this girl who is ,ilso 15 I iust don't know- how to ask her to go out with me She is a very nice girl After a while, how do vou ask her to go INSIGHT By Larry Swaim Dear Mr. Swaim: Today are we obligated to the Old Tes tament or is the New Tes tament the only binding au thority on Christians? Many churches and preachers will tell you that we are obligated to follow every one of the Old Tes tament commandments. But a person who studies the Bib le carefully realizes that this is not true. The Old Testa ment was given primarily to the Jewish nation [Exodus 20:2]. It was their rule for worship and acceptable living. For over 1500 years the Jews sought justification by the Law of Moses. Everyone found it impossible to live it perfectly. It condemned the violators [Galatians 3:10]. It offered no forgiveness of sins, only the rolling forward of sins for another year [Hebrews 10:3]. It could not justify the sinner [Galatians 3:11]. The apostle Paul called it a yoke of bondage [Galatians 5:1], and a minis tration of death [II Cor inthians 3:7]. The Old Testament was a schoolmaster to bring Us to the new and more perfect law. It was given to prepare us for the coming of Jesus, and for His perfect way of life. The New Testament is our only guide today, and should be followed as care fully as possible. The New Testament gives us the Good News of salvation and shows us the abundant way to live here and now. For a confidential and Bib lical answer to your ques tions, write Larry Swaim, 985 Ponce de Leon Avenue, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30306. steady w ith you0 That's why I'm writing to you Could you please help me" Thank you OUR REPLY: Really' We get many letters like this, so anybody with a similar situation--listen. All you have to do is walk up to your friend and say. "Would you like to go out with me?" That's all there is to it. really Chances are she wants to go out with you as much as you want to go out with her Don't worry about all those funny feelings in your body--everybody has them Don't let your mind talk you out of asking her Just walk up and ask her The truth is- it's your responsibility to communicate. Be honest and share what you're feelings are There's nothing to be afraid of Practice it a few times, walk up to her at a con venient moment, and simply repeat the words Would you like to go out with me"1" Growing up Look at your lanky, teen-age son! It's hard to believe that he once wore these shoes. It seems only yesterday that he was a baby, yet he himself is the best testimonial that the years have passed. Now he stands almost as tall as you. He is a fascinating maze of contradic tions--an eager, lovable youngster one minute, a scowling, angry adolescent the next. It takes patience to understand a teen-ager --patience, and a lot of love. Though he strives to be adult, he is still a boy. Though he clings to childhood, he is almost "grown-up." You may not always be aware of it, but he still looks to you for many things. And he sees in you an example that he will, almost uncon sciously, follow in many ways. Are you setting a good example? How about church, for instance? If you haven't been going lately, start again next Sunday for your son's sake, as well as your own. And don't forget to take him with you! Mount Hope Church United Methodist 1015 W.
