But Illinois far­ mers must make firm deci­ sions on their fertility pro­ grams for the coming crop year. Regis Voss, University of Ill­ inois Extension agronomist, says adequate -- not exces­ sive -- is the key word for corn fertility in 1971. Corn plants that were under stress last year when the blight hit -- such as plants that lacked adequate fertility -- showed a higher degree of in­ fection than plants that had a balanced fertility program. But, blight or not, the U. of I. agronomist's advice is the same--have your soil test­ ed. A soil test is the best measure of carry-over phos­ phorus and potassium; and a soil test can also help save money. A corn crop removes ap­ proximately 46 lbs., P205, or 100 lbs., 0-46-0 arid 30 lbs., K20 or 50 lbs., 0-0-60 per acre. A crop of corn si­ lage will remove about 65 lbs., P205 and 115 lbs., K20 per acre. Adjust nitrogen rates for plant population and time of planting. Voss says 150 to 180 pounds of nitrogen per acre should be adequate for corn planted by early May or for final stands of 20,000 plants per acre. If you plant near June 1 or later, reduce ni­ trogen rates to 100 to 120 pounds per acre. And if your final stand is less than 20,000 plants, cut back your nitrogen rate accordingly. HOG FEED COSTS Have you kept track of your feed costs for swine in re­ cent weeks? Maybe you've just shut your eyes and hoped to stay in business till prices get better. They will someday but in the meantime, if you don't have feed records, here's a standard to go by. Assuming average litter size of about 7% pigs, a good feed standard, per pig marketed, is 1 y2 bushels corn, 150 pounds fortified protein supplement and 30 pounds of creep feed. Apply your local costs to these figures to arrive at your feed cost for 200 pound mar­ ket hogs. Feed costs will rep­ resent 60 to 65 percent of to­ tal cost if you have mostly confinement buildings. It may be 70 to 75 percent of total production cost where building investment is more modest. BEEF CIRCULARS Two new beef cattle circu­ lars are now available to pro­ ducers. "Beef Cattle Manage­ ment Suggestions" explains the latest U. of I. research on pro­ tein supplements, vitamins, feed additives, parasite control, use of silage, haylage, high- moisture corn, feed prepara­ tion and space and equipment requirements. The "Beef Cattle Feeding Suggestions" explains nutrient requirements for beef, balan­ cing rations, protein supple­ ments and suggested rations for beef. Get your copy of either cir­ cular by calling the Extension adviser at 815-338-3737 or stop in at the Cooperative Extension office in Woodstock. PEARS HOME ORCHARD Extension Fruit Tree Spe­ cialist Dan Meador, University of Illinois, suggests dwarf-type pear trees for the home or­ chard. He says the Maxine, Starking Delicious, Seckel and Moonglow varieties have some resistance to flreblight disease. Fireblight usually kills the very-susceptible Bartlett and other European-type pears.
