( ' Town-Country Tips by David Plocher. Ixltniion Service 338-3737 - 338-4747 Planting Statistics- Mc Henry county fanners are virtually done planting corn. The wet spots have been planted except for the small lakes that formed this spring. Soybean planting is about 50 percent accomplished. If you are concerned about the dry soil, follow these tips. Don't overwork the soil. Plant shallow, from 1 to 1.5 inches- and don't wait for rain. If you wait for rain you will have to wait for it to stop. Then it may not rain again when it is needed. No-TUI Plot-170 acres of no-till corn has been planted so far. Another 120 acres may be planted. Those planting so far include Mike Rowe, Harvard; Bill Cristy, McHenry; Charles Kruetzer, Huntley and Pat Fizgerald, Woodstock. Seven acres of no-till in permanent sod was planted last week on property belonging to Mai Bellairs of WIVS radio. Cooperating in this plot were ASCS; Don Barret, MCC Ag coordinator; McHenry F.S., Inc.; Clarence Burman, Charles Kruetzer; Hughes Hybrids; SCS and the U of I extension service. We'll attempt to pull together some sort of directions for the no-till fields around the county. A late summer tour is being planned to check stands, insect and weed control, and to talk about the future of no-till. Call Jim Lucas, ASCS director ; Ed Weilbacher, SCS soil conservationist or myself if you have questions about no- till. Weed Control- If the weeds are coming through and the rain has not come since I wrote this, go out and try to find your rotary hoe. It is important to catch those weeds while they are small. It may be necessary if the dry spell lasts to come in with some post-emergence material. Illinois Tops- Illinois again topped the list of farm ex­ porting states. Of the $27.3 billion total U.S. exports during the fiscal year 1978, Illinois exported over $2.7 billion worth of commodities. This is an increase of $197.7 million over 1977. Nationally, farm exports were up 14 percent. Leading the list of products were soybean and soy- products, accounting for $1.2 billion, and feed grains, ac­ counting for $1.1 billion. „ cr In order of decreasing value, wheat and wheat products from Illinois were valued at $145.1 ihillion; meat and meat products, $46.7 million; hides and skins, $49.4 million; lard and tallow, $18.3 million; vegetables, $5.5 million; poultry, $2.5 million; fruit, $1.5 million; and dairy products, $0.6 million. Illinois not only tops the list in all commodities exported, but it also leads in exporting soybeans and feed grains. The st,ate ranked third in exporting meat and meat products, ninth in hides and skins and tenth in wheat and wheat products. The soybean exports showed a $131.5 million increase over 1977, and both wheat and wheat products and feed grains in­ creased by $28.8 million over the same time. The state ex­ ported less meat and meat products, lard and tallow, Vegetables and dairy products. Protect Your Horses From Sleeping Sickness- According to USDA figures, only one of every eight horeses is im­ munized against equine en- cephalomyelitis-sleeping sickness. The best way to fight the disease is to prevent it, ac­ cording to E.D. Scoggins, U of I veterinarian. That means immunizing before the mosquito season starts. Scoggins recommends vaccination in spring or early summer with a booster shot in two to four weeks. Vaccination is inexpensive and highly ef­ fective, according to Scoggins. The sleeping sickness comes in two forms: a severe, often fatal eastern virus, and a milder but still serious western variety. The virus is spread by mosquitoes. A horse with encephalomyelitis will become depressed, weak, have dif­ ficulty eating and drinking, and will stagger, circle, stumble and fall while trying to walk. When you immunize against encephalomyelitis, vaccinate for tetanus and respiratory d i s e a s e s a l s o . Vegetables for Organic Gar­ dening- A bountiful garden can be grown without chemicals if the gardener chooses the right vegetables. Radishes, lettuce, onions, leeks, shallots, chives, beets, swiss chard, mustard, Chinese cabbage, parsnips, salsify, peas, spinach, sweet potatoes, turnips and most herbs are good choices for the organic gardener. Gardeners who use biological control may grow green beans, cabbage, kale, brussel sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower with the use of Bacillus thuringiensis, a bacteria that destroys the cabbage worm. Tomatoes and sweet corn require special treatment, said Roscoe Randell, U of I en­ tomologist. Tomatoes should be staked, tied up or mulched to keep the fruits and plants from touching the soil. Corn planted in May will tassel from mid-June to July, greatly reducing the chances of ear worm in­ festation. Randell says there is no organic nethod of controlling the striped or spotted cucumber beetle or flea beetles. Prune Shrubs- Spring flowering shrubs should be pruned soon after they flower. Spring fkrwering1 shrubs are those that flower before June 15. For shrubs that flower after that, prune during the winter or early spring. The shrubs can be thinned, remove a fifth to a quarter of the growth, every year. Remove the oldest and woodiest stems first. If stems are cut too short, they will rot. Cut all stems down to one inch above the ' ground. Timely Hints- Dplant semi- hardy vegetables and flowers in early May. (cabbage, pansy's, etc.). 2)Plant tender vegetables and flowers around Memorial Day. 3) Mow lawn frequently to maintain a two-inch growing height. 4) Treat for weeds and apple scab. 5)Thin and transplant mums. Control Apple Scab- Apple scab is the most serious and com­ mon disease of apples and crabapples in Illinois. The fungus disease causes premature defoliation, fruit drop, deformation and a general weakening of the tree. The first symptoms of scab infection are light-brown to dark olive-green spots on the underside of flower bud leaves. As the infection progresses, these spots become more regular and defined. The leaves finally turn dark brown or black. With severe infection the leaves will yellow and fall prematurely and scabs will appear on the fruit. Apple scab can be controlled by the application of the right fungicides, such as Captan, Cyprix, Maneb or Polyram. These should be applied at seven to ten day intervals from the time the leaves first ap­ pear, through mid-July. Sprays may be applied using a hose and nozzle or com­ pression "type sprayers. The best control will be with a compression type sprayer and the use of a spreader-sticker will allow better coverage and retention. One-fourth to a half teaspoon of mild dish detergent is an excellent spreading agent. Red delicious, Mcintosh, and Winesap varieties are very susceptible to apple scab. Golden delicious is mildly susceptible, while Jonathan, Prima and Priscilla are resistant. A large number of crabapple varieties are highly resistant. The Hopa, Eli and Almi crabs are highly susceptible and should not be planted in this area. Police Tickets The City of McHenry Police department has issued the following citations.
