From The Farm SURVEY OF HEALTH The Illinois Department of Agriculture, The University of Illinois and the McHenry County Agricultural Extension service are cooperating on a dairy herd health survey in order to provide the State of Illinois and veterinarians with needed information of dairy health problems facing far­ mers. All McHenry county dairy farmers are being asked to complete the survey form on their cows, heifers and calves. The six-page survey form asks for information in regard to infectious disease, poisons, breeding problems, abortions, etc., on dairy animals. CORN LEAF BLIGHT Southern corn leaf blight is now present in forty-five Illinois counties. Two questions now face the farmer: 1. How bad will it be? 2. Will it be worse than last year? Neither question can be answered now. And anybody who makes a guess is doing so without needed information. Three conditions must be present for any widespread disease outbreak. There must be a virulent pathogen, a susceptible host and the proper environment. If Illinois formers find themselves faced with a siege of humid weather, too frequent rains, heavy dews, and op­ timum temperatures - 60 to 80 degrees - the problem will be worse. But there's still no basis to predict how bad blight losses will be. And unless conditions favor blight development, the presence of a virulent pathogen and a susceptible host will have little effect on 1971 corn yields. At this point, everything hinges on weather conditions. And almost nobody is willing to second-guess the weatherman. CHECK CORN Check your stored, shelled corn for insect infestation and any possible moisture migration that might cause molding or crusting on the surface. It's good practice to run the dryer fan to circulate air through the storage on a cool, dry day. These days often follow the* cool fronts of sum­ mertime weather patterns. MANAGEMENT PROBLEM The middle - aged farmer frequently must plan carefully because of increased living costs, higher income tax payments and greater operating expenses. Non-farm spending frequently slows growth of the farm business when the family's oldest child reaches college age. Family living expenditures generally peak in this period.

DON PEASLEY PHOTO sumed for living expenses, less money generally is available for tax deductible business costs. For many middle-aged farmers, this means delaying capital expenditures to maintain adequate operating capital. And for some, it may be better to rent land or large machines, rather than to purchase them. RURAL INTERSECTIONS Have trouble seeing traffic at rural intersections? You're not alone. Many drivers face the same problem as they drive through rural Illinois. And their inability to see clearly at in­ tersections is a major factor in many accidents that cause injuries and deaths. Many rural intersections have poor visibility because of weeds, bushes, corn, corner posts, road banks and other view- blocking obstructions. TRACTOR USE About a third of all tractor- caused deaths occur on public roads. Mile for mile, it's much safer to drive a car than a tractor on the highway. You can reduce your chances of being involved in an accident by planning your farm work so you spend as little time as possible driving a tractor or other farm equipment on public roads. Reduction of nearly one- fourth in the "huge backlog" of cases pending in the Illinois Industrial commission has been announced by Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie. The governor added that new procedures have not only reduced the number of un­ heard cases, but will permit the commission to dispose cf a record number of claims.
