Fourteen 'M&i ' 1 . :" •iMAiHPSALtea • Kfffi;y»!|Rj An understanding of her camera and how it work® u a first requisite of the Girl Scout photographic program. Girl Scouts Take Pictures [l4i. W" ) THE other day I had an opportunity to talk with a gnrap of Girl Scouts about their photographic activities . . . about the project they must carry out in order to qualify for a badge. This was the first time I had seen an outline of their program, and it occurred to me that there was much in it from which adult snapshooters could easily profit I was impressed that any girl who meets the requirements of this program will gain not only a badge, but will have a valuable record of family and community ltfe. Learning of a minimum amount of technical skill and understanding is included, but the emphasis is on the picture itself .. . what is in it . . . the story it tells. While the girls have a choice of performing seven out of twelve listed photographic activities, one is starred as a "must" This one requires that the Qirl Scout make at least two pictures that fall into each of three genera] classifications. These are types of pictures that are the basis of a good snapshot collection. The first heading is "pictures that express one idea"--in other words, story-telling snapshots, the very best kind for your family album. I think it is fine that these young picture takers become acquainted with that point the first thing. Secondly, they must take "pictures of things happening in your community." As my regular readers know well, that is picture subject material dear to,my heart It is an area of snapshooting that too many of us overlook, and in doing §o we are missing pictures we'd really like to have. The community in which we live, be it city or country, large or small, is an important influence in family life. Pictures that reflect the occupations, the familiar scenes, the people of your community, deserve a space n your family snapshot album. The third class of picture which the Girl Scouts are required to take is another closely allied to family snapshooting--"pictures of people doing things together." If we would all keep that heading in mind when we are picturing one or more people together, the result would be more natural and attractive snapshots and fewer pictures of people lined up as though they are facing a firing squad. The girl who concentrates on these three types of pictures is well on her way to having really good picture records. --John Van Guilder 5 -4 •' £ i» «' n |i SOY BEAN CROP Only a few late planted fields of soybeans ^remain to be harvested in the main Illinois soybean belt, according to the state •ij^and federal departments of agriculture. The beans are said to be low enough in moisture consistent to permit storage, and move- ™imept; to, lepninal markets is reported as slow. Seeding of winter wheat is still under way, and more than half the planned acreage "has been planted. About 64 per cent of the department crop correspondents report a shortage of soil moisture in their localities. Thursday, Octpber 1954 New Era Of The Cornstalk Made Possible By New Machin* Wasted cornstalks are a thing of Uie past with ways found to "convert them into low-cost roughage, a highly absorbent bedding and a soil builder. But why all the excitement? Co'nstalks have been around for a long time. New harvesting, machines, better methods of drying and storage and new facts about what goes on inside the cow and under the soil have now completely changed ideas of the moneymaking possibilities of stalks' One may, in the near future, find himself doing something like this: Starting in September with 60 acres of corn, pick the ears and at the. same time chop the stalks on about 20 acres with a new machine that does this all in one operation. The ear corn would be artificially dried and the chopped stalks made into silage. The remaining 40 acres would be picked at the normal time. Part of the stalks woiild be used for bedding and the rest chopped and left on the ground. 'To these, you would apply nitrogen then plow them under. It all started with Dr. Wise Burroughs of Jowa State college, who conducted three years of feeding trials with cornstalk silage. Ted Funk of McLean county, III., has made stalk siiage for several years. Others, too, have contributed much to the general knowledge of the value of cornstalks to the soil. Results of Test In one test with cattle on cornstalk silage, cost of gain was a low 17 cents per pound. It may even be possible to lower this 17-cent figure by reducing the amount of extra supplement fed. So far, this hasn't Tjeerr tried. Protein content of the Iowa State stalk silage was 6.7 per cent. r f. ! " North America is the third largest continent, with Asia and Africa ranking first and second. Reserve District No. 7 State No. 70-1660 REPORT OF CONDITION OF ROBERT HAY THE LOW OVERHEAD WAY" 1 General Contractor New Construction and Remodeling LET US FIGURE FOR YOU Phone 622-W-2 ROUTE 4 McHENRY, ILLINOIS •S3-; Last winter, Ted Funk wintered beef qows on a ratipn of cornstalk silage and one»half pound of supplement, plus a small amount of ground corncobs. A general average is about two to three acres of pasture hay per head of cattle. If one had some other sure, cheap source of roughage, he could turn all his hayland into pasture. Than he could run one head per one and one-half acre -- or as much as double the capacity. Cornstalks can be that ( other source of roughage. The time to start picking corn to make stalk silage is when the ear is 30-to 36- per cent moisture. The plant will be about 60- to 70- per cent moisture at that time. Considerable gr^en will show in the leaves. There Is no increase in the ear yield after this stafce is inlached. T°sts have shown that enough corn can be saved by early picking, through reduced shelling and ear loss, to pay for the cost of drying. New Machine A new picker-chopper-type machine is now available, with the silage put up the same as regular com silage, in either trench or upright silos. It is also possible to make cornstalk silage with certain conventional pickers and a field chopper with row attachment. Ted Funk made it this way for some time before the newer ma- Chines were developed. He would piclc' the corn at abojit 30-per cent moisture with a picker that did not "chew up" the stalks, excessively. Then, within twentyfour hours, he would go through the field in the opposite direction with a field chopper. The yield of stalks was about tons per acre with this method.' - • AN ORDINANCE TQ PREVENT THE ABANDONMENT OP ANIMALS IN McHENRY COUNTY, ILLINOIS.

OIL PRODUCTION Illinois produced about 5,464,000 barrels of oil during September, valued at more than $16,000,000, according to the state geological survey. Drilling activities in the oil fields in September resulted in the discovery of two new pools. One discovery well, that in the Ioia Central pool in Clay county, had previously been completed as a dry hole. The other pool, Harristown, in Macon county, was the only successful well among 19 wildcat wells drilled more than two miles from production. at Cook your As you look, so are you judged.
