Even the smallest yard may have at least one of these golden flowered shrubs. Perhaps this widespread popularity is due to the shrub's amazing lack of insect and disease problems as much as to its reputation for spectacular bloom. Among the most recent introductions of note are Spring Glory and Lynwood Gold. Since, by nature, forsythia has a graceful arching shape, only skillful pruning will enhance this natural growth habit. Old ivood is merely thinned out after flowering and before leaves appear.-Barber type "pruning or shearing into regular round globes not only limits the bloom, it destroys the informal character that forsythia lends to a landscape. NITROGEN FOR CORN The most profitable amount of nitrogen for you to apply depends as much on planting date, plant population and other good cultural practices as it does on the kind of soil you have and whether or not you have a legume or manure,, or both. For each week that planting is delayed after the optimum planting date for your area, consider reducing the nitrogen rate 30 pounds per acre. Assume that the best planting date is May 1 and that you can apply 200 pounds of nitrogen per acre. If wet soil delays planting until May 15 -- two weeks after the best date -- reduce the rate 60 pounds and apply 140pounds. Of course there must be a minimum rate regardless of how late you plant. And the agronomists say that rate is probably about 90 to 100 pounds per acre in a corn-soybeancropping system. But it may be zero when corn follows a good legume or manure. . When you plant early, aim for 20,000 plants. This will mean you will need to plant at least 22,000 kernels per acre. You may want to plant a much higher rate. ' DISPOSE OF PESTICIDE CONTAINERS An "empty" pesticide container can be about as dangerous as a full one. Pesticide containers usually retain a small but lethal amount of the chemical when they appear to be empty, so it is a good practice to dispose of them immediately. Destroy used containers by crushing flat and burying them in soil 18 inches deep where water cannot be polluted. Or, wrap them securely in newspaper for the trash collector. Metal and glass containers should be crushed or broken before disposal.. Never reuse pesticide containers. Chemical containers that leak present the most hazardous situation. Bury the chemical and container in the soil and sprinkle with lime before covering with soil. Never burn paper bags that contain pesticides. The smoke from burning pesticides may be toxic and will pollute the air. Empty aerosol bombs should be depressurized into soil outdoors by holding a finger on the Cheaper in the long run.

And the engine is air-cooled, so you don't have to spend a red cent for antifreeze or rust inhibitors. And you get more than your money's worth- out of a set of tires. But don't think buying a new Volkswagen is just another getrich- quick scheme. You have to wait until the second set of tires wears out.

Always store pesticides in their original containers, sealed from air and moisture, with label intact. .Keep pesticides locked securely in a cabinet out of reach of children and other people. when temperatures are moderate. 2, 4-D plus Atrazine And Oil Don't mix 2, 4-D with atrazine and oil. Some growers have tried it and got by. Others have had severe corn injury. U. of I., agronomists say it's too risky to try. Vomen's Voter League In Fund Development Drive 1 SOYBEAN WEED CONTROL Treflan provides consistent control of grass seedlings. Suggested rates vary from 1 to 2 pints per acre, depending on soil type. Treflan must be incorporated as soon as possible. Amiben is a popular soybean preemergence herbicide for controlling annual grasses and broadleaved weeds. Amiben is available in both liquid and granule formulations. It does not have to be incorporated. Lorox provides abroad spectrum of control. It is adapted to the lighter colored soils.~ Use only according to directions. "Randox controls annual grasses on soils of high organic matter. \ Lasso controls the same weeds as Randox but is less irritating. It also controls some nutsedge. It performs best on soils containing 1 to 3 percent organic matter. Tenoran is a postemergence spray that controls broadleaf weeds that are about 1-inch tall. Adding a surfactant improves control. Cutting Stage of Forages; Whether you make hay or store lggume grass mixtures as silage, stage of maturity at cutting affects the forage's feeding value. The feeding value of both legumes and grasses drops rapidly as the plants mature. Dairy cows tend to eat less as forages are allowed to •mature before cutting. Condition Hay Hay conditions help save feed nutrients and increase forage quality. Crushing the coarse stems allows the stems and leaves to dry at about the same rate. Drying time may be, cut in half. Capt.

The League of Women Voters of Woodstock-Mc Henry is now irfc the midst of its fiftieth anniversary fund development drive, according to campaign chairwoman, Mrs, William Schuette. The anniversary drive is a "one-time" capital fund-raising campaign. Coinciding with the League's fiftieth anniversary, it is being held to finance the organization's many civic and political activities. A nation-wide goal of $11,000,000 has been set by the group's parent orgaiization, the League of Women Voters of the United States. Capably directing local efforts is Mrs. William Schuette, who has been a League member for seven years and has served as bulletin editor, treasurer, and, currently, as second vice-president. Mrs. Schuette, who is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin at La Crosse, counts teaching nursery school and serving on the Hospital auxiliary among her activities. "Critical problems facing the citizens of our state and nation today demand that we have an enlightened and politically active electorate," said Mrs. Schuette. "For the League' to remain an effective force in this educational process, we need financial support from a number of important sources." About half the funds of the anticipated goal will cpme from contributions of League members, the rest from foundations and corporate gifts, community campaigns such as the local one, and interested citizens. "The response from our member^ has been tremendous," said Mrs. Schuette. The League of Women Voters, founded in 1920, is anonpartisan organization with over 150,000 members in the fifty states and 1,250 communities. It is dedicated toward improving local, state and national government. Last year the Illinois League played a major role in persuading Illinois voters to approve the call to a state convention for constitutional revision. The Woodstock-McHenry League, in* action for twenty-. two years, is involved in voters service work, joining with neighborhood groups to provide information about government and politics, distribute £actual information on ballot issues, hold candidate meetings and voting machine training and encourage voter registration. " Our Health. report was an aid in formation of the Mc Henry County Health department; we studied city manager government and worked for its adoption; our School Study report, headed by Mrs. William Weers, was hailed nationally; and we have never refused any group's request for a speaker," said Mrs. Schuette. According to Mrs. Schuette, money raised in the local drive will be used in a variety of ways: to study the pressing problems facing government at every level, to publish and distribute the League's findings in an objective, non-partisan manner, and to help more and more citizens to take an active interest in their government. She went on to stress that all women of voting age are welcome in League.

WHE&T DISEASES Septoria leaf blotch is now started on the lower leaves of all wheat plants. The disease will spread upward to new leaves. In Gage wheat the septoria is especially severe in combination with infection by soil-borne wheat mosaic virus. Recovery from the virus symptoms will occur in two to three weeks. Septoria infection, may remain heavy throughout the rest of the growing season. Powdery mildew may also appear any time on wheat where the crop is dense and fertility - especially nitrogen - is high. Mildew is normally only a problem in rank, dense-growing wheat. Little can be done to control the diseases. DANDELIONS Dandelions in lawns are dif- * ficult to kill while they are in the blooming stage. You can completely control dandelions though by spraying the lawn each month with 2, 4-D. Use about 3 teaspoons of 2,4-D per gallon of water and spray a fine,mist over the lawn grasses. Do not get 2,4-D near shrubs. Do not use it on new lawn grasses. J J Smartweeds in Corn? Atrazine applied early postemergence -- with or without oil -- provides excellent control of smartweeds in corn. Don't Wait For Weeds Don't hesitate to apply herbicides because you're not certain you'll have weeds. Weeds are almost as certain as death and taxes. Post-Treatments And Weather Avoid making postemergence applications of 2,4-D or AAtrex and oil when the weather is either wet and cold or hot and humid. The treatments will work best for you if made FATHERS DAY JUNE 15 TORE for MEN 1245 N. Green St. 385-0047 Mc Henry, FOR MOM ... REPEAT OF A SELLOUT! OVER 300 TOP QUALITY FANCY DECORATOR PILLOWS!
