Tmxsday, October 12. 1961 THE McHENHY PLAINDEALEH Pag* Fir* CORN YIELDS UPll PERCENT OVER '61 LEVELS Late summer weather was favorable for crop production in .almost all parts of tfie nation Field crop yields per aci-e ari^t or near all-time record levels almost everywhere, except in the drouth area of the far northern Great Plains. The national average yield of corn is officially estimated at 60.4 bushels an acre. This is 11 percent greater than the previous record set last year. The average corn yield for Illinois is listed at 76.0 bushels an ac|& This average is 12 percem over the record set a year ago. " Farmers pushed hard on three yield-increasing practices to get high yields this year. They grew corn on their better fields, they planted more coTn;j»er acre and they applied more fertilizer. 3Thg Weather Man helped, to^of course. This is shown by thJRiondit ion of pastures in the corn belt, which on Sept. 1 was 16; percent better than the tenyear average for the date. ^The exceptionally high yields of-com will aid government officials in their efforts to hold down corn prices in the 1961-62 marketing year. If the price of coca is kept low, however, it wttf°"prevent the attainment of offiof the goals of the feedgnrni program, which w^s to rai§£ livestock prices. Illinois fawners get about two and a hfftf times as much money from the sale of cattle and hogs as from the sale of corn. The total production of the four feed grains-- corn, oats, sdrghum grain and barley - is estimated at 137 million tons, only 11 percent less than the re<#rd output in 1960. SORGHUM GRAIN. The production of sorghum grain is estimated at 480 million bushels, 21 percent less than last year. Texas, Kansas and Nebraska are the principal producers of sorghum grain. SOYBEANS. Agricu I t u r a 1 officials in Washington asked last spring for more soybeans. Ttey are getting them! The soybean crop is now estimated at 720 million bushels. This is 29 percent more than last year and 24 percent more than the previous record crop produced in 1958. Domestic use and exports have taken about 570 million bushels in each of the last five years. If the total disappearance (domestic use and expi^ s) increases 10 percent in tfce coming year, we would still have nearly 100 million bushels for carrv-over a year hence. It appears likely that the government will get these excess beans as the market price sags below the support level of $2.3C a bushel. L. H. Simerl Department of - Agricultural Economics EXPERT ADVISES DESTRUCTION OF QUACKGRASS NOW Fall rains make ideal growing conditions for quackgrass. And when it's growing well is the best time to really hit it hard with chemical control, says McHenry County Farm Adviser Ralph Burnett. McHenry county farmers who are bothered with quackgrass still have time this fall to apply atrazine before the ground freezes, says Ralph Burnett. Right now atrazine looks like the best bet. ' According to University of Illinois agronomist, E 11 e r y Knake, farmers may plant corn in the spring following fall treatment of atrazine. The residues are injurious to other crops. After a year of corn., it's safe to plant other crops in atrazine-treated land. With atrazine, use 5 pounds of 80 percent wet table powder in at least 20 gallons of water. If quackgrass had gone to seed, mow it. close to the ground so that you can treat the new growth. Use atrazine on harvested cornfields, soybean stubble, or legume fields that arc to be plowed for corn next year. But Knake gives this precaution: don't plow or cultivate atrazine-treated land until spring. It's necessary for fall rains to wash the chemical into the soil around the underground root systems. This Business - Farming Recent tests have shown that debeaking pullets does not hamper egg production. Egg producers have often hestitated to use this method of stopi n g c a n n i b a l i s m w h i l e t h e chickens . are laying because they feared such treatment would interfere with egg production. Results of the tests did show an immediate drop in egg production in all but white leghorns. However, the, drop was temporary and the flocks soon returned to normal. The best time to debeak is before the birds start laying. This can be done before the bad habit of picking can cause death losses. You can expect a drop in feed consumption right after the operation, but otherwise there, will be little ..visible disturbance. Feed company servicemen can easily demonstrate the proper techniques to use so you do an effective job with minimum disturbance. two-year study he made of the effects of lice on poultry: He found that in one 24- week experiment, 1 o u s e-free birds gained 2.26 lbs. while the ones with lice gained only 1.79 lbs. A second study showed chickens with lice failed to gain, or actually lost, weight from the time of housing until the end of the experiment 36 weeks later. Neither experiment showed any difference in egg production, egg size, or hatchability. Insecticides are used to control injurious insects affecting plants, animals and man . . .

Defoliants and desiccants are used to speed the drying of plant tissue or cause leaves and foliage to drop from plants to facilitate harvesting. Does it pay to go to the expense of controlling lice on poultry? The answer is definitely yes. according td a university research professor.

DAMAGE SUITS FILED IN COURT TOTAL $97,000 Damage suits totalling almost $100,000 were filed in circuit court this past week. The amount is contained in six different suits which involve two separate accidents. The largest amounts $70,000, resulted from an accident on Oct. 5, 1959, in which Larry Ketchum was killed in a crash near Burton's Bridge. Howard Ketchum, admini.strator of the estate of 16-yearold Larry, has brought suit for $30,000 against Charles Ritzert. driver of one of the cars involved. In a second suit, Ralph Nicholls asks $20,000 for injuries he says he received as a passenger in a car driven by HarryJKetchum. The latter has filed a S20.000 suit, alsfb for alleged injuries. Other suits have been brought against James Chadderon of McHenry by Theodore and Helen Laika on behalf of Barbara Weber, a minor, and also by Theodore Laika alone. Laika asks S2.000 for damages he saiii occurred to his car when it was struck by the Chadderon vehicle at the Barrevillc and Idyll Dell junction. He also asks $15,000 for injuries alleged to have been received in the crash. The suit in behalf of Barbara Wrber asks $10,000 for injuries said to have been received in the accident.

ORGANIZE NEW FOUNDERS GROUP FOR ART FILMS McHENRY PLAINDEALER Est 1875 Phone 385-0170 Mrs. Philip Wheelock, Mrs. John Varese, Mrs. Jack Smithson and Mrs. Richard Wilhelm met recently at the home of Mrs. Lee Gladstone to organize the Founders Committee of the Modern Art Films. Art films are exceptional foreign or American films, even old classics, which, because they do not appeal to the general public, are usually shown in special theatres in major cities only, but with a subscription plan devised by the committee. A series of six of these films will be offered to residents of this area at the local theatre the first Wednesday of each month, beginning Nov. 1. Information may be obtained by calling a member of the Founders committee. 8812 W. Elm St. Hope is the dream of a busy man: despair, the last stand of a failure.

In tjvv meantime, the only sure ciu'e known to mcdical science is earlv detection and prompt treatment. It is to this premise that the Cancer Prevention center of Chicago is dedicated. Unlike most medical centers, the Cancer Prevention center is interested only in well people.

Yet, of the 7,463 seemingly healthy persons who went through the ecnler in 1960. l.'Vl or 1.7 percent were found to have suspected cancer.
