From The Farm Adviser's Desk FARM VEHICLES ON HIGHWAY Since slow-moving farm vehicles are traffic hazards, Illinois lawmakers have prescribed certain minimum safety standards for farmers who use state highways for transporting farm equipment. Illinois law restricts the overall length of most vehicles to 42 feet. Farmers operating farm equipment on highways at speeds of less than 20 miles per hour must attach either a red flag or flashing amber lamp to the vehicle. The red flag must be at least 12-inches square and mounted not less than 10-feet, nor more than 12-feet above the ground. A flashing red light is illegal on farm implements. Farm implements on highways at night must have two white headlights visible 1000 feet to the front, and two red taillights visible 1000 feet to the rear. CORN POPULATION - ROW WIDTH The results of a three-year University of Illinois study on corn populations and row width show: --Corn planted in 40-inch rows yielded 127 bushels per acre at a 16,000 plant population level; 133 bushels at 24,000 and 126 bushels at 32,000plants per acre. --Corn planted in 30-inch rows yielded 132 bushels per acre at 16,000; 144 bushels at 24,000; and 138 bushels at 32,000 plants per acre. Many new corn varieties have been designed for high population planting, and the varieties best suit narrow-row plantings. The best plant population, of course, varies with soil type, variety, fertility level and data of planting. LAWN CARE One of the best ways to maintain a good lawn is to maintain a good fertility level. Nitrogen is usually the most deficient nutrient since grass plants use it in large amounts. A common minimum recommendation is two pounds of actual nitrogen per 1000 square feet of lawn in early spring &nd another two pounds in late summer or fall. For example, a 20-10-5 fertilizer, applied at the two-pound of actual nitrogen rate, would be ten pounds of the fertilizer. It would take 20 lbs. of a 10-6-4 fertilizer to get two pounds of nitrogen. Apply fertilizers only when the grass blades are dry, to avoid fertilizer burn. V. F. W. AUXILIARY' NEWS By Gerry Breede Election of officers for 1968- 69 was the main order of business at the April meeting of the ladies' auxiliary to VFW Post 4600, Ethel Groth presiding. Dorothy Miller, a reinstated member, was welcomed into the organization by members present. The resignation of Mildred Ahern as 2-year trustee was read by the secretary along with other correspondence. Americanism Chairman Viola Schuble announced that Loyalty Day is to be observed on May 1.

Sunshine Chairman Florence Tussey reported a get-well wish had been sent to Bill Moreth and sympathy cards had been sent to Alyce Kowal and the Harold Breedes. National Home Chairman Ha Hogan reported that ten new children had taken residence at the National home in the Illinois cottages.

One thousand children have received care at the home since it was founded in 1925. The children attend churches of their faith and attend schools in Eaton PASSENGER CAR REASSIGNMENTS TO BE INCREASED Reassignment of passenger car license numbers will increase by about 50 percent for 1969 registrations, Secretary of State Paul Powell has predicted. Hiis will be one result of his continuing program to improve the operation of the Automobile division through automation, Mr. Powell said in a talk before the Springfield Press club. Installation of a computer system in the division, now in progress, will make it possible to send each passenger car owner a completed registration application form which need only be signed, notarized, any corrections entered and returned with the fee and the 1968 identification card, Secretary Powell said. Present plans call for mailing of the forms to begin about Aug. 5 and to be completed by Sept. 1 he said. A return envelope will be included. Since the reassignment deadline is Sept. 30, it is expected that an additional 250,000 motorists will respond to the early notification, and request retention of their current numbers, Mr. Powell said. Secretary Powell pointed out however, that persons not desiring to retain their current numbers are not required to mail their applications, but may still secure their license plates over the counter at Secretary of State's office facilities in Springfield and Chicago or at banks selling plates, or by using the services offered by remittance agents, currency exchanges, motor clubs and similar organizations^ The overall effect of the computer system wil 1 benefit both the motoring public and law enforcement agencies by making possible earlier delivery of license plates and much faster access to registration information, Mr. Powell said. Any omissions on the 1968 application will be brought to the applicants' attention, which will result in more correct and complete information and will cause less checking and fewer returns, Secretary Powell said.

In- SAFEGUARD YOUR HEALTH HFROZEN" SHOULDER CAN BE CURED, BUT ITS UP TO YOU • If you experience severepain everytime you try to raise your arm above your shoulder, you could be a victim of "frozen" shoulder. A "frozen" shoulder is a painful, yet extremely common, ailment for it may be caused by some very common conditions. Sometimes bursitis is the cause. Or it may be due to a minor tear of muscle or ligament from reaching out too far, especially if you're off balance. Even a fracture could be responsible. stallation of officers will be held the following. Saturday evening, May 18. You see, all these conditions may promote adhesions (tissue) to form over the surface of the capsule lining your shoulder joint. When these adhesions begin to form, even normal shoulder motion may give you severe pain. So naturally you'll stop arm movement at the slightest pain. Consequently, a vicious cycle developes: less movement. . .more adhesions. . . more pain. . .less movement and etc. Ignore this worsening condition and the fibrous adhesions may be replaced by calcium, producing a stone-like connection in your shoulder joint. What's more, the unused muscle and ligaments become shorter and weaker. Ifs an old law of nature. What you don't use, you tend to lose. Fortunately, a "frozen" shoulder can be cured; however, the cure isn't easy. It's something you have to work for yourself, along stern lines of exercise established by the doctor and sometimes a physical therapist. You'll be frankly warned that exercising to break up jtdhesions and stretch shortened muscles is going to hurt like sin. But "the end result will be pain-free motion. How long will it take? That depends on the condition of your shoulder, your determination and stamina. If you stop exercising -- even for ashorttimeyou'll lose what you've gained and the. condition will worsen. However, if you've gotthe staying power, it's a sure victory. 1 JMIle East of Skyline Drlve-Ir PHOME3 SS5-24S3 BOARDING AND Obedience -- Hunting and Retrieving (Large Heated Kennels) ' 6.S.H.
