Palmer of the Department of Conservation v has urged residents of flood-plagued areas in Illinois to exp\ore all of the possibilities for application of the act to conditions in their respective areas. "The Little Watershed bill," Palmer continued, "is d&wn to' earth conversation and our people consider it- the first real conservation legislation to be passed by Congress in a long time. It should go down in history as a milestone on the road to preventing disastrous erosion of our precious topsoil and mounting damages by flash floods." Palmer added that the department not only is ready to enlist its facilities in the development of watershed programs in the future, but already has befen active in work done on one of three pilot plant projects authorized by, previous legislation; leading up to the Hope-Aiken bill. "Three' of our divisions -- forestry, fisheries and game management -- already are cooperating on a watershed pilot plant project," the director said. "This is the Hadley creek project in Adams and Pike counties where the U.S. soil conservi'Son service mis just about completed the preliminary surveys toward establishment of a sound watershed program. "Our department' technicians are offering every possible assistance to the S.C.S. in the completion of these surveys, and already have submitted complete reports with recommendations to the conservation advisory board. The board will go over these reports at its next quarterly meeting in October and come up with recommendations on how. far the department should go in cooperating with the people of Adams and Pike comities. Our participation will be limited by lack of specific funds and personnel, but we mean to do all that we legally can to help." Hadley Greek, a 22-mile stream draining an area of 46,000 acres and emptying into the Sny river below Kinderhook, is one of three pilot plant projects set up by Congress in Illinois. The others are Money creek in McLean county, and Qld Tom creek in Warren and Henderson • coun ties.

The anniversary of this Chicago landmark, familiar to farmers and cattlemen everywhere, was observed by driving a hend of cattle through the"gate--just as was done in the early days of the Chicago stock yards. The animals arrived by rail 75 years ago, and were driven out of the yards through the old stone gate to the nearby packing plants. Except for a different roof, the structure remains today just as it was in 1879. signed into law by the President last month, makes it possible for people residing in a watershed to set up their owm flood control programs with federal assistance, Oil the land itself by means of small reservoirs, detention dams, farm ponds, soil conservation practices including reforestation and in general holding the water on the land instead of permitting heavy runoff with its resultant erosion and damaging floods. , Projects under the act must be "riolaated by the people themselves, and not by goverij.- m^nfcar agencies. ' : L SPRAYING NITROGEN ON LEAVES IS NOT PRACTICAL FOR CORN Corn can take up liquid fertilizer sprayed on the leaves, but it's neither practical nor economical to feed the plants that way. That's what testa at the University of Illinois show, says C. M. Linsley, extension soils specialist at the University's College of agriculture. In these tests, Agronomists E. B. Earley and R. D. Hauck sprayed 40 pounds of elemental nitrogen on corn leaves, using three different nitrogen fertilizers. They checked results against those on plots where 40 pounds of nitrogen In a dry form had been side-dressed for the cornC, Yields were higher on the plots where 40 pounds of nitrogen were side-dressed than on those that v/ere sprayed. In addition, where 40 pounds of nitrogen were sprayed on the corn in one application, the leaves wer,e burned. The nitrogen solution in the form of urea caused the least damage, but even with it yields were 7 bUshels less. . The researchers got, better results when they sprayed the solutions, in two applications, of 20 pounds of nitrogen each. Corn getting two sprayings of urea yielded as well as the side-dressed corn, but that getting the other solutions did not. • One big disadvantage of spraying fertilizers on the leaves is that you' can put on only a small amount of plant food at any-one time. Too much fertilizer burns the leaves and reduces yield. Also liquid fertilizers sold especially for leaf spraying cost considerably more than ordinary . fertilizers. Cost of nitrogen for spraying will often run 70 cents a pound or more. Nitrogen used on the soil costs only 10 to 20 cents a pound. Little work has been done in spraying phosphorus and potassium 'solutions on plants. But results so far indicate that these elements also can be added in only small amounts because of danger of burning leaves. , : Sixty per cent of the corn crop ,h$s reached the stage, and about 15' per cent far enough along to be safe frost, according to the state and federal departments of agriculture. Development of the corn, .while not quite as early as last year, is reported to be about average. Crop correspondents of the departments report ample ta surplus soil moisture in the northern quarter of Illinois, but a shortage of moisture stiH exists in the drouth damaged area from mid-state southward. j~v- Need A Rubber Stamp?
