A^FRBBMAN aad BD VOGEIl Aaetioaeers FARM AD COMMENTS gone entirely to "grass" farming There is real interest in small grain certification again this year, even though the price on Clinton oats was disappointing to some who certified last year. That is as it should be. From reports of some who bought seed from those who started to certify, but didn't carry through, it is well to steer clear of that type of seed, because the reason the grower didn't carry through was that he couldn't pay the price to get all the weed seed out. Harold Cash of the Lawrence neighborhood reports an insect, that eats little cups out of the edges of his sweet clover leaves. This apparently is the cloverleaf weevil. They eat St night and spend the day in the thrash at the base of the plants. If you scratch around on the ground and see a piece of dirt crawl away, that is one of them. Control of this insect in the larvae stage (the one that does the eating) can be had by dusting with 1 to 1'4 pound of actual D. D. T., preferably in a 5 per cent dust. This would mean 20 to 30 pounds of dust per acre. In an acute community-wide problem, probably an airplane would be the way to do this. Prices quoted fcy airplane dusters run from $2.60 to |3.90 per acre for putting it on including the cost of the dust. Art Gieske of Crystal Lake and George Waiting of McHenry were in last week to talk over their corn fertilizing problems. Com fertilizing in general is a rather simple problem if the farmer will direct his attention to fertilizing his fegumes for maximum growth following soil tests to find what they need. If this is done, the problem of corn fertilizing diminishes to nothing. It just doesn't make any difference, within reason, what fertilizer you hill' drop with your corn when follow ing a good rotation where legume growth is successful. About 75 pounds per acre i? enough, too. How soon will we hear of u McHenry County dairy farmer who has m an attempt to get at some of th*T< profit that there is 4n dairy farming. , We can't expect congress to continue to vote the dairy farmer an oleotax protection, so he can continue to corn nis hillsides because ; his dad and the neighbors still do. | There are millions who buy spread for their bread, thousands who produce butter for that purpose and congressmen look out for the majority votes.
