"rtiey are useful not only for close-ups of people, but also for shots of may fairly small subject For example, consider the picture of the butterfly above. At a distance of eight feet from the camera, the butterfly would be little more than a speck on the film. However, with -a portrait attachment the camera could be brought closer--In most cases, to within three feat of the subject or leas-- thus giving yoa a much larger 4 mage. It grou used a focusing camera, oa could get even nearer by sans of the attachment For exwith -a oamera located for. three and one-half feet the correct distance would only be twenty* three Inches with the attachment in use. You could thus get almost twice as close! . However, the short "taking dlfr tance" is just the beginning. U yot get an image of reasonable site OB the film, it can be increased con* siderably when enlargements are made--especially if you use a moderq fine grain film. And you don't need to show the whole picture In the enlargement You can hare any surplus material at the top, bottom, or sides "masked off," so that your picture shows only the portion of most interest The bafr terfly picture was enlarged in that manner, and greatly improved. In taking close-up shots, remember two points: measure the cor* rect distance very carefully, and use a rather small lens openings Also, whenever possible, use fina grain film for better enlargement*. These pictures are just about as easy to take as any other kind--' and big, dramatic close-ups certain* <ly do lend interest to your snapshot collection.

Read the Want Ads l*»KT%UAJ^KITr£t -WHrre- fCOKM/Ck-s, WIAS By HERBERT L. GARRARD Diagnosing the ailments of "sick" Crops and prescribing the restoratives is a science that can turn losses into profits on American farms. Many of the diseases that destroy the productivity of crops are due to diet deficiency--to a lack of such essential plant foods as nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash in the soil. And just as tell-tale symptoms are present when human beings are ill, so growing plants reveal their infirmities by various signs. Even in the early stages of growth these signs of ill-health are readily discernible. Sickly seedlings with narrow leaves, thin stalks, poor root formations and tips of leaves tinted a reddish-brown hue tell a story of starvation for necessary plant nourishment. • With oats, for example, a deficiency of potash in the soil will be evident in a reddish coloration of the leaves as early as eight days after sprouting. The foliage of potatoes shows a dark green in the early stages of potash starvation; in the case of tomatoes there is a purplish leaf coloration when the plants are starved for phosphorus. ^ Corn that is suffering from diet deficiency is easily recognizable. When nitrogen is lacking it develops a streaked, yellow leaf. When potash is missing the edges of the leaves are "fired" or scorched and a spotty yellow streaking spreads Over them. Fortunately, it is possible, even in the growing season, to apply correctives once the ailment has been diagnosed. Tests in corn-belt states have proved that with corn still in the early stages of growth, it is possible to side-dress the plants with ffi£tilizer to correct jjietary deficiency. Tfie use of 200 pounds per acre of mixed fertilizer containing potash, in early July on 15 cornfields on a soil high in lime content, in a midwestern state, result^ ed in an increase of 15.8 bushels per acre compared with fields not treated for potash starvation. But while plant food deficiencies can sometimes be corrected during the growing season, the sure preventive is to have the soil tested before planting time. County agents or agronomists at the state agricultural college are prepared to analyze soil samples and provide farmers with information concerning the fertilizer needs of their soil. The tests will reveal whether there is a lack of nitrogen, phosphoric acid or potash. By following the recommendations thus obtained, farmers can replenish depleted soil resources and be reasonably sure of growing healthy, productive crops. Twice' To 1 d Tales TWENTY YEARS AGO Georgte Buss has quit the Terra Cotta factory to enter the employ of the Borden company here. A.

THIRTY YEARS AGO Messrs. and Mesdarties Mathias Leckem and Will Karges of Kenosha, Wis., spent Sunday as the guests of relatives and friends. They made the trip by wagon. On \the board of trade Monday butter was shoved up another notch and {was quoted at 20 cents. Spontaneous combustion caused a small blaze in the barn of John Justen on Thursday afternoon of last week. The blaze was discovered in time to save the building from ruin. Wm. J. Schumacher of Chicago, who last year purchased the Perry & Owen property next to the Bank of McHenry building, was in McHenry several days last week completing arrange? ments for the moving of the cottage to the rear of the lot and the erection of his new business block. Farmers Work Together To .'Keep Soil at Home* • • After many single-handed attempts to stop the blowing of good top soil from their fields, farmers of Greeley county, Kansas, back in 1937, saw that they would have to get together in the fight to keep their soil at home. If a single farmer tried to hold his soil down by listing a field, the top soil from an unlisted field adjoining would blow over it and cover up his work. With the help of farm leaders in the county, the farmers organized a countrywide campaign to use AAA conservation practices to get all the land in the county listed at the same time, and protected by cover crops and strip-cropping. The job was hard, but the farmers were for any plan that would break the force of the wind* and keep their soil covered. When the job started, each farmer had an average of 3,000 acres of land to list, and they kept at it--literally day and night-- until it was finished. To make the plan thoroughgoing, the county organization adopted a rule that no farmer could get an AAA payment unless he had all his crop land either in cover crops such as Sudan grass or sorghums, or in strip-cropping--a strip of cover to slow down the wind, then a strip of wheat or fallow, and then another strip of cover crops. Last year, with six times as much land in cover crops and strip-cropping as in 1936, five timep as many acres in summer fallow, half as many acres in wheat, and twice as many acres of feed crops for their live stock, these farmers reported that they had the wind hazard under control. If they continue what they have started, they believe that nature will complete the job. FORTY TEARS AGO, Mrs. E. J. Hazel will give a Japanese Tea, in behalf of the Universalist church, on Saturday evening. Some excellent musical and literary numbers will be rendered by the cream of home talent. Mrs. W. Parker is making a number of very decided improvements in her Residence. Early Monday morning Joseph Justen, one of our prosperous farmers brought to town a number of fine pigs which he sold to Frank Wattles, for the snug sdm of $796.50. It is the early bird that catches, the worm. Mrs. H. T. Brown, Mrs. Stebbins, Mrs. Henry Wightman and Miss Clara Wightman drove to Hebron Wednesday and enjoyed a very pleasant day's visit with friends. ' • FIFTY TEARS AGO A large number from this place and vicinity took in the excursion to Devil's Lake on Tuesday. There will be an all-night's dance at Heimer's Hall on Thursday evening next. Music. Kline's orchestra. Mrs. E. J. Hanley met with quite a severe accident on Friday evening last. While on her way to the lawn festival, the horse became frightened while near the red bridge and turning suddenly around threw her from the buggy. She was considerably bittised. SIXTY YEARS AGO Seventeen cents will buy one pair of ladies' ballbriggan hose at Fitzsimmons and Evansen's. J. J. Gilles has advertised a harvest party, to lake place on Thursday even ing at his hall. Good music will be in attendance. Smith & Snyder are building an addition to their office 12x20. This has been an improvement long needed, as their quarters have been too crowded for their extensive business. H. H. Nichols has been building an addition in the rear of his block, to be used as a kitchen. It is 14x14, very high between joints and makes a very pleasant room. Insect Defense When insects injure a farm crop, the attack often comes at the edge of the field, orchard, or woodland-- not at the center. If the fence rows or edges of the fields are attractive to birds, the farmer has an auxiliary line of defense against the insects. The birds may be able to destroy some of the insects before the insects can lay their eggs. This is one of the reasons that may make it wise tQ make the edges tractive to wildlife. at* 'Cbnruft „Jhe, Phone McHenry 677-R-l -- Basement Excavating -- NETT'S SAND AND GRAVEL Special Rates on Road Gravel and Lot Filling Black Dirt and Stone - Power Shovel Service f Power leveling and grading Cement mixers for"rent J.
