SEEDING OATS The keys to a profitable oat crop are: Plant an adapted oat variety, use quality seed, prepare a good seedbag, use enough fertilizer, and plant early. McHenry county farmers can plant the later-maturing varieties. Varieties that performed well include Shield, Garland, Brave, Clintford, Cliqtland 64 and Newton. A new variety, Portal, has yielded very well. Control smut in oats by treating the seed. Your best bet is to apply fertilizer according to soil tests and the field's previous cropping history. If these are not available,you may apply 250 pounds of a 12-12-12 fertilizer to provide a good oats crap. DAIRY CATTLE MINERALS Minerals that Illinois dairy cattle most likely need in their rations are common salt and phosphorus. Cows may also need extra calcium when their roughage is primarily corn or sorghum silage or when they receive limited roughage and a large amount of grain. Additional calcium, however, shouldn't exceed about two times the amount of phosphorus added to the ration. Dairy farmers can adequately supplement most dairy rations by mixing about one percent of trace-mineralized salt and one percent of dicalcium phosphate into the grain mixture. Another mineral supplement that contains at least 15 percent phosphorus may replace the dical. Cows should have free access to a weather-protected feeder containing salt and dical -- or other suitable mineral mixes - in addition to the mineral supplements added to th£ grain ration.

Early-planted corn usually outyields late-planted corn for these reasons: --The "grand growth period" when you can almost hear the corn grow coincides with the longest -summer days that provide maximum daily sunlight. --Silking, pollen shed and pollination are more likely to occur when there is adequate moisture available. -Early-planted corn usually pollinates before the dry period in late July and early August. SUMMER RIOTS IN 1967 The riots that raged through the country in the summer of 1967 resulted in insured losses of more than $100 million, according to the Insurance Information Institute. These civil disorders occurred in more than 80 cities.
