An executive order by President Truman on April 25 requires all cases of retirement to be reviewed automatically. Each case will be reviewed and the person Informed of the results. He also may choose from three methods of pay schedules. There are more than 4,000 retired officers in Illinois. Under the first method an officer may continue to draw the retirement pay he was receiving prior to passage of the Act, or, he may receive retirement pay based on total length of service; or he may receive pay determined by the percentage of disability based on VA rating schedules. On the latter the percentage. of disability is that which existed the day of retirement regardless of whether the condition has improved or become worse. Officers have until Oct. 1, 1954, to chooser the method of payment after they have been notified of the review results. If a choice is not made by this date his pay will continue under the old rate. If the second or third method is selected, payment will be retroactive to Oct. 1, 1949. * While all cases of review of retirement are to be made automatically and no application is necessary, service officers of the IVC are seady to advise and counsel officers on the new pay rate In McHenry county retired officers affected by the change can secure assistance at the IVC office located at the county court room In Woodstock every Wed nesday.

FIRST '50 WEEKLY REPORT ON CORN BORER &NT OUT Illinois fsrmers received the first .1950 weekly report on the corn borer situation early last week, announced G. C. Becker, in- Bect specialist in the Illinois College of Agriculture and Illinois Natural History Survey. These two agencies are cooperating again in putting out about 14 weekly reports between May 28 and about August 15. They tell when to spray, and what doBage to use, and will keep you posted on the latest corn borer developments in your area. You can hear the reports on local radio stations or read them in your daily papers. A faster sys tem has been worked out thlB year for broadcasting or printing them so that they will reach farmers by Sunday or Monday of each week. They are written only one or two days before, on Saturday, from reports by about forty farmers and roving observers all over the state. Each report covers the week starting Sunday, the day it's issued. Spraying often saves enough corn to pay for the cost of treatment. Decker sayB one spraying with DDT, properly timed and applied, #ill kill off 60 to 70 percent of the borers. In fields that are moderately to heavily infested, may mean five to ten more bushels of corn per acre. Each extra spraying «eems to cut the remaining borers by about 50 percent. But speed and exact timing of the spray are mighty important for best control of borers. One day too late may mean it's worthless to spray. You can ' learn the exact time of the borer reports from your local radio station or farm adviser.
