FARMERS OBTAINED VALUABLE AID AT 8 THISTLE MEETING An interested group' of farmers, tembers of Boards of. Supervisors, and thistle commissioners received many helpful ideas in the way of controlling Canadian Thistles and Quack Grass according to Farm Adviser John H. Brock, who assisted the cooperating agencies In holding th£ district meeting at Woodstock on Wednesday, May 27. L. A. Moore, superintendent of the division of plant industry, State Department of Agriculture at Springfield was in charge of this meeting and two others held at Joliet and Dixon. '» ; Joseph Barnes, botanist of the department* discussed the economic importance of weed cont,rol and startled the group with the announcement of an annual loss of three billion dollars due to weed infestation. He also stated that m^ore than 100,000 acres in Illinois is badly infested with Canadian thistles. Prof. J. C. Hackleman, agronomist of the College of ture stressed the importance of developing a weed consciousness among farm owners and operators. Through this he said much can be done to eliminate most of this loss to agriculture. As a result of the provisions of the new Soil Conservation ° Program, Hackleman reminded his audience in event the pests become serious the county. ~ Wherever the grasshoppers are thick, farmers will have to gi- into actioi\ with poisoned baits duiTng the next two weeks while the pests are still small in order to prevent serious damage to crops, according to Farm Advised John H. Brock by W. P. FJint, chief entomologist of the Illinois State Natural History Survey and of the College o£ Agriculture, University of Illinois^ Use of poisoned J>aifl will be profitable where the grasshoppers are as thick as 15 or more to the square yardi Either the older form of sweetened poisoned bait or the newer oil bait will effectively check the grasshoppers, The sweetened bait is made at the r^te of 25 pounds of cheap bran, 1 pound of Paris green or white ar-: senic, 2 quarts of molasses and 10" or 12 quarts ' of water. Tne dry brari ' and the poison are first mixed thoroughly, the "object-being to have some of the poison on evspry particle of bran. The molasses ia added to about two quarts of the water, and after this has been mixed the liquid is poured over the bran-poison mixture and the whole worked until all the bran is .moistened. Enough water, about 8 to 10 quarts, is then added sd that the mixture will ball in the hand when pressed, but separate readily when scattered. . ~ The oil bait, which is superior in some respects, is made the same way as the sweetened bait, except that 2 quarts of cheap lubricating oil of S. be put out in piles or rows, but be scattered evenly and thinly. Any farmer suspecting that he h*ft an infestation of the hoppers, should make a careful examination of his fields during the next two weeks and apply- the poisoned bait before it ia too late. At the present time tha young pests are less than a half off' a third of an inch long and are fairly well bunched in clover fields, head* lands, ditch banks, roadside and similar places where there was undia? turbed ground for them to go through the winfer in the egg state.

To prevent leaching of available nitrates he suggested seeding of rv£ 6r oats in the fall after pl^wrrtgTwideir the soybeans. Hackleman also suggested seeding alfalfa to act as a smother crop, but he cautioned on the need for testing for lime requirement, and available phosphorus. , G. E. Caspeiv chairman of the Boone county Board of Supervisors reported on the successful accomplishments of their Noxious Weed Committee and stated that equally good results should be accomplished by committees now being appointed in most counties. He offered assistance to any noxious weed committee if help- was desired from the Boone County folks. A practical demonstration of the use of mechanical equipment was put on at the George Wilson farm south of Woodstock by co-operation of Bakkom Bros., International dealers of Woodstock and Hebron. Results at this field meeting clearly demonstrated the effectiveness of field cultivators especially designed to do the . job. The morning meeting held, at the Court House and the afternoon field demonstration was a joint project cooperated in by the McHenry County Board of Supervisors, State Department of Agriculture and the McHenry County Farm Bureau.
