The one you steer clear of with your own car if you possibly can. MThe one that makes a mock- £$N)f those 300 horses under the hood, because you can't handle the curves at over 25 miles per hour anyway. The one that makes your steering wheel feel like it's attached to the front wheels by rubber bands. The one with the bumps that makes the glove com­ partment door spring open. Now try that very same road with the Renault 16 and see what does not happen. See how the front wheel drive pulls you through curves with the sureness of a mountain goat. How the torsion bars which control each individual wheel absorb road shocks without spreading them throughout the rest of the car. How the ultra precise feel of rack-and-pinion steering makes the Renault 16 a beau­ tifully obedient instrument. There is simply no way to know the glued down, con­ trolled road experience the Renault 16 offers you unless you put it through its paces. And that doesn't mean com­ ing into the showroom and kicking the tires.

When filling hopper boxes, keep the chemical off your skin and stand so that the dust in the granules blows away from you Alert help to the importance of handling insecticides carefully and reading container labels. CORN LEAF BLIGHT This is the Southern Corn Leaf Blight situation as of last April. Florida Situation: So far, there is no evidence of seedling blight on N.B. or T seedlings. Florida sweet corn has been sprayed with fungicides and shows no signs of infectiortfe Field corn plantings are just beginning--and it is estimated that 90 percent of the field corn planted in that area will be on N-cytoplasm. Dry weather conditions in Florida may be a key factor. Through March, rainfall totaled only 2.9 inches- compared to 15 inches in 1970. The Planter-Box Seed Treatment with captan, thiram or maneb is recommehded only as an "over-treatment." If seed quality and germination are poor, the treatment can in­ crease emergence by seven to 10 percent. Infrared Photography on Individual Farms. The use of infrared aerial photography to detect presence of SCLB or other plant diseases is still in an highly experimental stage and requires ground observation to correlate with what the aerial photos show. U. of I. Extension plant pathologists say that any farmer who gets out into his fields and checks his corn crop once a week for signs of SCLB will know as much as any in­ frared photd will show. FERTILIZE PASTURES Insure plenty of forage for livestock during the coming sug^ner and winter by making the most of what you have now, says Don Graffis, University of Illinois Extension agronomist. Fertilize bluegrass pasture now with 30 pounds of nitrogen, 15 to 20 pounds P205 and 45 to 50 pounds K200. You can increase fall production from bluegrass by applying another 30 pounds of nitrogen in late August. Fertilize tall grasses such as smooth bromegrass and or- chardgrass immediately with 50 pounds of nitrogen. Phosphorus and potassium requirements will vary with soil type and yields expected. But you'll need at least 30 pounds of P205 and 125 pounds of K20. Fertilize these tall grasses with an additional 50 pounds of nitrogen in August. And don't forget to fertilize legumes with phosphate and potash for top production. A second option to insure an adequate supply of livestock forage is to seed a summer annual such as sudangrass or sorghum-sudan hybrid for grazing or green chop.
