Let's start with the trees on your land. Now that the leaves are off and the trees are dormant, it's a good time to fertilize. The best method is to poke holes into the ground with a soil auger or crow bar in a circular pat­ tern beneath the canopy. The holes making up each circle should be 18 inches deep and 3 feet apart, and each circle of holes should be three feet further out from the last one. Continue poking holes and making circles out to the dripline, which is below the end of the furthermost branches. To avoid gouging out of the main roots, start the first circle of holes two feet away from the trunk for trees with a trunk diameter of eight inches or less. For those above eight inches in diameter, start four feet from the trunk, adding one foot for each additional inch of trunk diameter over eight inches. Distribute fertilizer evenly in the holes. Use five lbs. of 104-4 fertilizer per inch of trunk diameter for trees below eight inches in diameter. If you use 20-10-5 fertilizer, you'll need half as much. Trees should be fertilized every two-three years, either in the fall after the leaves are off, or in the spring. Never fertilize after July 15, or you'll stimulate tender growth too close to winter. Young trees * and evergreens are particularly prone to drying during winter. It's a good idea to thoroughly water each young, shallow-rooted tree or evergreen before the | The McHenry Plaindealer f $ | 50 AU SEATS Is •I.M MM/UN MAIMB BLUB.

Golf Balls All Softwear ground freezes. Watering is especially necessary if the autumn has been dry. Mulching will also prevent moisture loes. Dump 8-12 inches of compost, wood chips, leaves, straw and other assorted plant stuff a few feet around the base of the plant. Mulch only after the ground is frozen • early December wouldn't be too late. Young trees, especially those prone to frost cracking or near reflective pavement should be wrapped to prevent rodent damage, sunscald and frost injury. Tree wrap is available from garden centers and similar entities. Always wrap trees from the bottom up to avoid making water collecting pockets, and remove the wrap in the spring when growth starts. Young fruit trees need the same basic care as other trees, omitting the fer­ tilization. A mechanical barrier such as a cylinder of chicken wire or hardware cloth will give extra protection against rabbits and other herbivores. The cvlinder should be at least two inches from the trunk and high enough to give protection if the snow climbs. A quick word on lawns before I run out of space. We grow cool season grasses in the Midwest, and those blades are putting out roots like crazy now. Keep mowing as long as the grass continues to grow. Drought can hit during cool days as well as warm. If the weather has been dry, keep watering regularly until we have a hard freeze. Rake or shred leaves to keep from smothering your lawn. Who Will Control Agriculture?- Who will control agriculture in the years ahead is a major issue of concern to older and younger farmers. It is im­ portant to take an up-to-date look at the policies that will affect the future of farming. A special program on Dec. 3, from 9:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. at the Kane county extension office in St. Charles, will use state and area apiculture economics specialists to help you take that look. Farm production, marketing, taxes and opportunities for beginning farmers will be some of the factors discussed.

Hedging and Financial Planning - Two other programs coming up in December include a basic hedging workshop for Crop and Livestock Farmers cm Dec. 9, and a transition period planning workshop on Dec. 18. This year has been a good year. Some of you may be considering some major changes in your farm operation that will entail Financial risk. Our goal in the day long transition period planning workshop is to help you "test" your proposed plan over a period of one to four years. When the process is complete, you'll receive a computer printout showing profitability, cash flow, debt repayment and your solvency at the end of each year. This should be just the answer to some of the questions raised when you consider changes on your farm. AgrlcaUure and Urban Pesticide License Agricultural Pesticide Dealers and Applicators Training and Licensing clinics have a new format this year. The first step for a dealer or operator is to at­ tend a General Standards or Care Training program offered at seven locations in Illinois between Dec. 2 and Dec. 11. Late hired operators needing only the care, training and teat could at­ tend one of four sessions from March 17-20. The second step is to at­ tend the Ag Pesticide Dealers and Applicators clinic in February or the Urban Dealers and Ap­ plicators clinics in January to receive further training and to take specific category exams. There will be 11 sessions held around the state jivith the program in DeKalb on Feb. 26 being.the closet to our area. Ten ur­ ban programs will be held, with four in our area. Glencoe, Jan. 19 and 20; Rockford, Jan. 21; and Joliet, Jan. 23. Once you have attended the training and passed the tests, you will be sent a license application. The third step is to complete this and return it with the fee. If you are thoroughly confused, give Erin or me a call. We can send you details and answer most of your questions. Sheepman's Holiday and Symposium - The 1981 Sheepman's Holiday and Symposium, scheduled Jan. 9-10 at the Holiday Inn East, Springfield, will feature, information on reproductive physiology, nutrition, health, and buildings and equip­ ment.

Versatile Hay Ban Plans Available - Many farmers are dissatisfied with their 'hay-storage facilitiea. Before you make any changes, you should know that the Midwest Plan service has new plans for hay barns that can handle 150-400 tons of anything from traditional small bales to big round bales. The three plans detail clear-span, pole- construction hay barns that have a 17 foot clearance under the sidewall girders. The barns feature open-front construction with three-wall enclosure options. Each plan gives con­ struction details for trusses, pole spacing, poet footing a n d l a m i n a t e d - b e a m assembly. A building cross section, flora* plan, bill ai m a t e r i a l s , l u m b e r specification and beam- construction directions are included. In addition, each plan includes a truss guide that gives information on roof slopes, lumber quality, dead loads, snow loads, joints, and truss and building con­ struction. Contact us for more details and to order the plans. We have a scaled down copy of all Midwestern Plan Service plans that you can stop in to look at. Dear Colleen Deer Colleen: My mom and I are having a dis­ agreement. We both read your col­ umn and thought we would write and ask you what you think. I went to a boy-girl party last week and several of the kids were smoking pot. I did not smoke and don't ever intend to smoke. My mom said I should have called her immediately to come and get me. 1 say that as long as I wasn't smoking that's what matters. What do you say? Non-Smoker Deer Non-Smoker: I say it's great that you were not smoking and don't intend to smoke pot. However, that isn't always enough. If the police had come -- you pro­ bably would have been taken to the station also. And if someone smoking the pot had hurt themselves or some­ one else, you would have been involved. Many times PCP (Angrl Dust) has been added to marijuana and it is extremely dangerous. The next time you find yourself where pot or any drug is being used, call your mom immediately and if you can't get in touch with her, call a taxi and go home. Dear Colleen: I'm going through a stage that I want to be alone. Everyone in my family invades my privacy. I can't take a step without someone playing "my shadow". It makes me want to scream. I've tried talking to them, but it seems they don't listen and won't take me seriously. What should I do? Alone Dear Alone: You say you are going through a "stage" so I take it you do not always want to be alone. Perhaps your family thinks there is something bothering you and they want to help. Talk to them again and assure them there is nothing bothering you and explain you just need to have some time (quiet time) to yourself. Spend some time with your family each day as well as having a quiet time for just yourself.
