Last Thursday night I found myself on the outside looking In at our meettag on corn borer tn the library at the Woodstock Community high school, tt wasn't that I wasn't wanted--it was just that there want room and trying to be the considerate host, I stood outside the door. One hundred fifty-six squeesed In to hear Pete Petty, popular col- »*• of agriculture bugman, tell about what we can expect in 1950. He put It across in short brief facts found by experiment, interspersed with a few well placed humorous comments. How does the east, where the corn borer was first found, fare now days? Pete said • Ontario, which was hit first hi this country, had two complete corn failures before they took drastic action. Then a law was passed which puts the job of control in the heads of the sheriff. Emphasis was put on clean plowing, with arrests made if more than a very bare minimum of stalks stick out after plowing. Either the farmer went through the field gleaning protruding stalks or the sheriffs' force did it for him, the arrest money being used to pay the bill. All stalks gleaned were burled. Today the cornborflir to not a problem in Ontario exc*|rt to the extent of enforcing the corn stalk law. BALLOT v' • SECOND WARD;; To be voted at the Special City Section, City of McHenry, County of McHenry, State of Illinois, to be Friday, April 28, 1950. EARL R.

BOLGER I'm afraid that the entry of DDT. the thrill at the airplane across your field, ant other "jatraKeaJ* slow up the almost ahadlhta inatlon of the corn borer None of these ever are more thin about 80 per cent effective^ While clean plowing can be M par ceAt effective--enough to discourage the frail little moth almost to extinction. Cora borers do not read the calendar," Petty said. "They are Impressed only by temperature" when the temperature gets above 50 they proceed with their life cycle from the dormant winter state and 5,500 time-temperature units are necessary to transform the worm into an egg laying moth. A time-temperature unit is I degrees above 50 for one hour. A spring day when the temperature averages 70 degrees for about twelve hours would be 120 timetemperature units. If, at the time 5,500 units have passed, your corn is less tha* 25 Inches tall, leaves extended, and you are lucky enough to have a windy'period and a couple of beating rains, the corn borer will not be a serious problem to you, No question but what you will follow the best recommendations but if you still find up to or near 100 egg masses per 100 stalks by all means spray with 1% pounds of actual DDT per acre. Sprays should be put on twice if possible, one seven days after the first egg masses start to hatch and one fourteen days attar. This isn't after you first notice them because you may not notice them until half of them are hatched. Don't plant corn until May 20 and start looking before June 10.

ROLOER S4f«ttardmg the patient aia infection Is the keynote of ^1 operating room procedure, yet Up people realise this whan faced with a surgical experience, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical Society observes in a Health Talk. Asepsis means freedom tram infection. If a person's resistance fa low, the normal tendency ct the body to fight off bacteria causing infection dwindles. Thus, Inside the operating room every effort (s directed to prevent contamination. To achieve this, each single objeet In the operating room, or surgery, la sterilised. Actually; the procedure starts before the surgeon or the surgical team enters the room. AH street clothes are removed and replaced with "scrub" clothes that have been/ sterilised. Fingernails are attended to and mask and cap are donned. The scrubbing process requires brisk scrubbing with brushes of the hande and forearms with soap or'a detergent for a minimum of five minutes, Running water is always used. This procedure is followed by the. immersion of the bands and arms Into a solution for further cleansing. Before the hands are dried, the surgical tiurse helps the surgeon into his gown; he then dries hi* hands and she assists him with his gloves. The surgeon does not touch anything until he approaches the patient. All gear required during the operation is sterilised and packed together in what is called a "bundle", the outer item is a sheet and included in the bundle are the surgical gowns, drapes for the patient towels dressings, pads and sponges. In each bundle Is a little tube to serve as an indicator that steam and heat have penetrated the articles during the sterilization process. The heat Is maintained for thirty minutes to ef* feet sterilization. The material inside the tube melts when the steam has penetrated the bundle. It is interesting that all surgical dressings counted three times. The first count is made when the bundle is being assembled far the sterilizer. The second count is made before the operation begins, and the third on the completion of the operation but before the wound or incision is closed. At each of the three times the pads are counted, two persons are responsible for the count. All ordinary instruments used in surgery are sterilized by boiling or steam pressure. However, sharp edged instruments, and instruments ard material made of various compositions are aterilized by means of certain solutions. The instruments are counted just in the way surgical dressings are. Sets of sterile instruments are kept available at all times for different emergencies. If an operation is scheduled to remove a gall bladder, for example, this would be noted on the chart used in the operating room, so that the necessary assorted instruments would be available. Sometimes, however, a different procedure might be necessary after the incision la made. In such a case, any special instruments required are immediately available In the supply room of the surgical department. Many people do not realize that only a small surface area is exposed for the operative procedure). After large areas of the patient's body have been sterilized and shaved, drapes and clamps are applied so that only what is called the surgical field is seen. This is another precaution to prevent skin contamination. From start to finish, the main objective of operating room procedure is to prevent infection by the physical removal of dirt and the sterilization of every piece of material that ia used on the patient. AUTHORITY onHoimtnta tntou Conditioning the family car for spring will reduce driving coats and increase your safety margin, Cha*. M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor Club, aaid. Early checking by a reliable garage to inaure wheel balance and alignment, to adjuat lights and windshield wipers, test brakes, fraali chemical abrasives of the under body and tune the motor will provide safe and chearf operation for Bummer driving.

Checking of head and tail lights and automatic turning aignals may preyent. accidents and traffics violation* Adjuatment of windshield blades for clean aweepa will insure clear vision during spring raina. Brake tests should include the braking distribution, hydralic fluid level and condition of linings. Defective brakes are a major cause of traffic accidents where mechanical defects are Involved. Chemicals spread by street and highway departmenta to Improve traction on ice and snow can seriously corrode metal parta if allowed to remain on surfat" too long, Mr. Hayes0warned. Thorough washing of the underparts la recommended as soon as the snow Thursday, April 20,1900 season is over. He further recommended flushing of crankease and switching to heavier weight grease and oil. Motoriata who flush out their radiators were cautioned to add rust inhibitor to clear water if they were not going to leave permanent antifreeze all summer. Engine tune-up Involves checking fan belt, ignition system, cleaning points and spark plugs, air cleaner and carbuerator and a check of timing to give the motor new life. Cleaning battery cables with soda solution and checking water level in the battery will prolong battery life. Ignition wirea should be examined for cracks at the same time and replac«A if necessary, Mr. Hayes said. V Order your rubber- stamps The Plaindealer. SPECIMEN BALLOT FIRST WARD my m.-L* .
