( BEHANCE FERTILITY FOR * CORN Agronomy research indicates that balanced fertility and adequate plants per acre lower corn grain moisture at har- Fels Hiat N«®i A Irfeme vest. University of Illinois research shows that corn moisture levels Were 32.3 percent in soils testing "low" in available phosphorous where no additional phosphorous was used. Where high rates of fertilizer were used the grain tested 25.7 percent moisture. i Grain moisture decreased from 28.9 percent to 26.1 percent when plant population increased from 8,000 plants per acre to 26,000 plants per acre. HERBICIDE INJURY Injury to soybeans from atrazine carryover is being observed in some fields. Symptoms vary from a slight mottling of some leaves to necrotic brown sections in others. Atrazine may also kill some plants. Slight injury to soybeans early in the season may not be reflected in final yields. CORN BORERS University of Illinois entomologists state that corn borers in northeastern Illinois will be of non-economic importance this yeaif Heavy rains and strong winds in 1967 combined to prevent borer buildup. BAGWORMS Bagworm larvae are now feeding on evergreens and other trees and shrubs. Control the worms now while they are small. Carbaryl (Sevin) diazinon or malathion are all effective. Use one tablespoon per gallon of water. COTTONY MAPLE SCALE Cottony maple scale crawlers are moving to the leaves to feed. The eggs appear as cottony masses on maple twigs and .branches. Apply control measures during the first two weeks of July. Use 2 teaspoons of liquid malathion per gallon of water. FLY CONTROL For dairy cattle, apply Ciodrin, dichlorvos (DDVP), or synergized pyrethin sprays daily or twice a week depending cm amount used per animal.

SHOP IN MCHENRY WED., JULY 17, 1968 - PLAI^DEALER - PG. 7 , a Bonus Attraction Fails To Beat Harris At Wilmot? Whitey Harris became the first driver in IRA's young history, to win four feature events in a row when he added another at the Kenosha County Speedway Saturday night. Like his last victory of a week ago, this one too was before again the largest crowd of the year and it marked the fourth Saturday in a row that attendance at Wilmot has increased. Even the offer by Mort's Enco of Gurnee, sponsors of Harris' Purse-snatcher modifed, for a cash bonus to any modified stock car driver that starts the race behind Harris and wins, failed to change the outcome of the feature over the previous three features. Modified heats were won by Jimmy Hedges, Danny McKay Harris and Otto. Ron Bergsma took a flying flip after blowing a tire in the fourth heat. The front end of his Roadrunner Hemi Plymouth modified was wiped out but Ron wsVOK. J.C. Jamerson won the semi feature race which also had two restarts. Ken Monroe was second followed by A1 Horton, Pernillie Jagodinski and Hedges. The late model stocks were Hot to be outdone and the car sponsors of Tim Seyl's late model put up a cash bonus to amy driver in the late model stocks who won beating Seyl after they started behind him. Only three drivers qualified fester than Seyl and this too went unclaimed as Seyl won the feature event for the late models after nosing out Herb Ahrnet. n-: U "I* 'i •:% i: low-cost, package policy Stats Farm Firs EOWNERS.
