A local farmer, Wayne McBride, of Harvard, is working with Dr. Gene Shove, of the University of Illinois, in designing a solar energy system on his farm. Wayne has just about finished building heat collection traps under a machine shed roof and should have the remodeling completed this winter. He will utilize his present grain bins. This sytem is very similar to low tem­ perature electric drying. Soil Tests- I made fertilizer recommendations on ap­ proximately 800 soil samples last month and expect ap­ proximately the same number this month. Soil tests help to determine the proper ap­ plication rates of phosphorus and potassium plus they in­ dicate whether or not lime is needed. Soil tests should be taken every four years in most cases. A rule of thumb on the number of samples to send to the soil lab is eleven samples per 40 acres. Each sample to the lab should be made up of a composite of five samples out of the field. So, in a 40 acre field, you need to pull 55 soil cores to your plow depth, and after combining samples, send eleven to the lab. Lab fees are $1.15 per sample. This amounts to $12.65 for 40 acres. Over a 4- year period this is ap­ proximately 8 cents per acre per year. Management Tool -. Good farm records must provide you Use Of Studded Tires Ends Next Spring After the coming winter season, the use of studded tires on Illinois highways will no longer be legal. A new state law bans use of studded tires after March 31,1976, according to the Illinois State Bar association. The studded tires have been restricted by state law to use during the winter driving season. They may be used this year from Nov. 15 to March 31. The new law contains one --£" more information than figures to fill out your income Ntax return. Complete records will help you make management decisions. We have an excellent Farm Record book that was developed by the University of Illinois. The University of Illinois also offers help in keeping super­ vised records through our Farm Business Farm Management Service. In McHenry county, ap­ proximately thirty farmers cooperate with the University in this project; in Illinois there are 7,300 cooperators. There are fifty-one fieldman state­ wide to help these cooperators interpret their business records. SECTION 1 - PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19,1975 they may cause more damage' than was previously thought. The Iilinois legislature decided the damage to the state's roads outweighed the benefits to winter motorists. After next March 31, Illinois motorists will have to rely on tire chains and snow treads to overcome winter's driving hazards. The Law Serves You exemption. Vehicles used by rural mail carriers will still be permitted to use studded tires. An exception is made for the mail carriers because of the kind of off the highway driving they must do in all kinds of weather. Studded tires have been permitted because of the ex­ cellent traction they provide. Their damaging effect on high­ ways has long been known, but recent scientific studies show I'D UKE TO SPEAK W/TW SOMEONE WffiVA LITTLE AUTHORITY! tHare me"/ IHAV£ AG UTILE MThtORnY AROUNP HERE!
