r PAGE 18 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10. 1975 Extension Comments By George J. Young Extension Adviser, Agriculture McHenry County) HARVEST PROGRESS - The last cutting of hay is in the barn. Silage making is almost complete. Soybeans are near maturity \ and combining has started. Moisture in many McHenry County corn fields is now below 30 percent. SAFETY - In illinois, we can expect between sixty-three and seventy-two deaths and 340 to 375 injuries a year due to tractor accidents. Think and live safety! START A COMPOST PILE - Organic matter is the best material for improving garden soil. Tops, stems, stalks, leaves, and roots of vegetables can be used for compost. Mulches raked from flower beds are also good. Lawn clippings and leaves from trees and shrubs may be used. Call our office for more in­ formation. ENROLLMENT STILL OPEN - Enrollment is still open for the Farm Income Tax School to be conducted in McHenry County Dec. 16 and 17 by the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension Service, Internal Revenue Service and Illinois - Department of Revenue. Call our office 815- 338-3737 or 338-4747 for an ap­ plication. SOYBEAN DISEASE - In recent weeks, disease surveys and specimens received by the plant disease clinic indicate that a soybean disease problem has developed. The diseases involved are brown spot, stem canker, pod and stem blight, anthracnose, and charcoal rot. Beans should be combined as soon as practical, because, if wet weather occurs, losses in seed quality and yield could become serious. Seed saved for planting next year should be checked for germination using the cold seed test. DAIRY FEEDING - The most profitable cows in a dairy herd are those that peak at a high level of production, usually early during lactation. Well fed dairy cows usually produce the most milk per day within one or two weeks after calving. Dairymen must get enough feed into these good cows to meet their nutritional needs. If you don't, the cows fail to maximize their potential production, rapidly lose body weight, and may be difficult to breed. As a rule, feed recently freshened cows all of the top quality roughage they will eat. Then gradually increase the amount of grain fed. Within about a month after freshening, the potentially high producing cows should receive a minimum of about two pounds of grain daily for each 100 pounds of body weight. A 1400-pound cow, for example, would eventaully get about 28 pounds of grain per day. If her milk production continues to increase, feed more grain. But carefully watch her appetite to avoid throwing her off feed. After cows reach their peak and no longer increase production, adjust grain allowances to their milk production levels. As a guide, feed Holsteins, Brown Swiss and Ayrshires one pound of grain for each two and one-half to three pounds of milk produced. Jerseys and Guern­ seys should get one pound of grain for each three to four pounds of milk produced during the first- half of lac­ tation. As milk production declines, reduce the amount of grain. Feed Holsteins, Brown Swiss and Ayrshires about one pound of grain for each three and one- half to four pounds of milk they produce, Jerseys and Guernseys will need about one pound of grain for each four to five pounds of milk produced.

LIMING PROGRAM IS BEING SHORTCHANGED - The liming program is being shortchanged on many McHenry County farms. One of the most serious limitations in crop production is soil acidity. It results in poor plant growth and less efficient use of fertilizer. The use of nitrogen fertilizer has increased, but the tonnage of limestone has not kept pace. It requires about four pounds of lime to neutralize the acidity resulting from one pound of nitrogen applied as ammonia or urea. A soil test every four years is the best way to keep check on soil acidity levels. For alfalfa production, your soil test pH goal should be 6.5 to 7.0 and for corn and soybean production, it should be 6.0 or above. I want to caution home gardeners that they, too, should apply limestone according to soil test. The correct amount of lime is needed, but too much lime can limit vegetable production. The ideal pH for a home vegetable garden is 6.5.

Although agriculture uses only 2 percent of the total energy used in this country, the cost of that fuel continues to go up. Therefore, it's to the farmers advantage to conserve fuel whenever possible. Avoid overdrying, use dryeration, avoid cutting temperatures on high-speed dryers, and consider low- temperature drying as a supplementary system. If you are a livestock producer, you can consider high-moisture storage of corn. Good management such as weekly checking, probing and moisture testing of corn in storage can bring about a reduction in the use of energy and still maintain quantity and quality of a valuable product. FARM EFFICIENCY - In the twelve Midwestern prairie states of the United States, America'a farmers, who are one-tenth of one percent of the world's population, are able to feed about one billion people, or twenty-five percent of the world's population. I£OOD AID - From 1965 through 1973, the United States provided 80 percent of the world's food aid. This $8.8 billion food aid was four times greater than the $2.2 billion contributed by all the other developed countries of the world, combined.

By LESTER W. BRANN, |R. President Illinois State Chamber of Commerce Bigger is not necessarily better. That is why we welcome Governor Walker's^eto of the General Assembly-passed bill to create a Municipal Financing Agency for the State of Illinois. The concept of the bill was to set up a state agency which would issue bonds in multi-million dollar amounts. The proceeds from these bonds would be used to buy smaller issues of general obligation bonds of local governments throughout Illinois. In effect, the way such a system has worked in Vermont is that local government bond issues are "pooled" together by a state agency in order to achieve better marketability and, hopefully, lower interest rates. The concept has some merit--for Vermont per­ haps, but not for Illinois. Our state has excellent access to capital markets and many qualified buyers of local bond issues. In fact, it was shown during legislative hearings that many local government bond issues com­ manded better interest rates than state issues of­ fered at the same time. Another problem with the Municipal Financing Agency concept was that it would apply to general obligation bonds only. These so-called "GO" bonds are the very ones that are snapped up by eager buyers as soon as they hit the market. The full taxing authority of the local government is behind such bonds. On the other hand, there have been difficulties in selling some revenue bonds. Interest and principal payments on these bonds are dependent on the revenues of the issuing authority. But the proposed Municipal Financing Authority would not help in the sales of revenue bonds. The underlying fact which must be recognized ft is Illinois communities are attractive places to live. Generally they are well-managed. The people make good salaries and wages and they pay their taxes. This makes their local bond issues attractive to buyers whether or not the amount of the issue is large. A recent small issue of Galesbufg general obli­ gation bonds sold at a 4.85% rate. At about the same time the big New York City bond issue came out at over 9% interest. No, big is not necessarily better. Money is only one in­ gredient of life's secret of happiness. * * * * Nearly everyone has a different recipe for a suc­ cessful life.'
