These shipments included enough smallpox vaccine to take care of about 120,000 persons. Illinois residents are protecting themselves and their children so thoroughly against this disease that not one case of smallpox has been reported is the state since 1948. The health department sent out enough vaccine to protect more than 700 persons against rabies. As this kind of vaccine is distributed only on request of physicians to treat specified cases, it would appear that no less than 700 persons in Illinois were bitten by dogs or other animals known or thought to be rabid during the quartfr yqpr.

FREE ESTIMATES By W. H. Tammon* Some eye catching signs on the way to New York included a restaurant called, "Garden of Eat'n" and a packing house sign said to "Walkin with Bacon." We saw a farm named "Almosta Farm." In many areas we saw farms that could well be called, "Hasbina Farm." The government seems to be very conscious of cost nowadays. I rode in a Chevrolet station wagon from the Brooklyn Army base of embarkation to the subway station, which had a big sign on the dash that read. "This car cost $2,600. Take care of it." I noticed very forcibly it didn't say, "Please." I understand please is not a very useful word in the Army. We have modernized a lot. We now have cigar lighters on the dash like we never dreamed about having on our buggy dashboards, but we still havfn't gotten away from the term "dash"* board entirely, regardldss of the fancy attachments. Gene Brown, our new assistant farm adviser, is now on the job. He is a likable chap who doesn't seem to shy when work is to be done and has ah immediate knack for getting the job done. Let's make him feel welcome here and let's treat him like one of us and not as part of the furniture. I often wonder if people know what a farm adviser and his assistant do all the time. Well, over half of our work seems to be a maze of small details that make farm group activities in the county. One of the most important abilities one must have is imagination to.anticipate what is going to happen in an event about to happen so that the details can be arranged for. Nothing nays off like experience in a case like this. Farmers coming in and asking questions is a small part of what we do. It is important, however. Educational meetings are another small part of our task^ It takes lonerer to get rfsdv for a meeting than it does to hold it, though. Gettinr information out lo farmers is our number 1 job. Some of it is self fed, some is force fed. Our publicity proeram takes a good dav each week but it seems Stock. One of his particular jobe will be D.H.I.A. Keeping five test^ ers on the job, coortthating ttteir reports, keeping thsm In supplies, keeping record^ a<fil tin tt nftt a small job. This week we have the good fortune to start our fifth ' oow tester, Harold Kraemer, from Christopher, 111. He . comes recommended by the dairy department at the College of Agriculture, where he just finished the course. He will be located in the Richmond, Ringwood and Spring Grove area. Speaking of information, a new monthly orchard leaflet has start* ed coming from the College of Agriculture which looks good. If you are an orchardist of some size and want to get it monthly let the Farm Bureau office know. It discussed winter injury, leaf curl and. fire blight in one article. Another is headed, "Do Not Use T.C.P.P.A. on Summer Apple Varieties."' and discusses two new varieties, including the Crandall apple and the Colby walnut. The June 1 Illinois crop report says the wheat crop will have been exceeded only three times in history. It is 30 per cent above 1951 and 61 per cent above the 1941-50 average. Rye is expected to be smaller. Corti planting was completed roughly a week ahead of usual. Much corn was re-planted over the state because of cold weather in May. Oats stands are excellent but straw is short. Pastuure at 92 per cent is 2' points above average, whatever that means. The condition of alfalfa and clover-timothy hay is 91 per cent of normal, from 3 to 6 points about average. They report fewer weeds than usual, A large peach crop is in the making. Milk 'is 6 ,p4r cent below last yesr and 13 per cent below average. A total of 306 million eggs for May is a ntillfon short of 1951. Farm prices are 5 per cent below last year and prices farmers pay are 3 per cent above last year. Bugs took it on the mandibles last week with the intense heat. Most corn borer pupae still in old stalks were killed June 7 and 8. Green bugs are obsolete. Fall cankerworm Is very abundant in places in northern Illinois, completely defoliating trees in some cases. They can be controlled by spraying with 4 pounds of lead arsenate and 2 pounds of D.D.T. in 100 gallons of water. Pop corn is on the increase all over the U. S. because O.P.S. ran the peanuut growers put of busmiles per year; there are 6 million oars on farms -- 40 per cent more than in 1940. Are you average? , ™CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS COUNCIL.
