PAGE 18 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22,1973 From The Farm CHIGGERCONTROL Don't let your fun be ham­ pered by irritating chigger bites this summer. These tiny mites cling to grasses and weeds and latch on to anyone who brushes against them. When entering areas that may be infested, be sure to use a repellent such as DEET (diethyltoluamide). Apply the repellent to socks, pants and pant cuffs, as well as to exposed areas of your body. Take a warm, soapy bath or shower as soon as possible after you leave chigger-infested areas. It takes the mites several hours to penetrate your skin and they can often be washed off before they become im- ,bedded To reduce the number of chiggers in your lawn, spray nialathion or diazinon lightly over the grass. SILO FIRES Special techniques are required to fight spontaneous combustion fires in oxygen-free silage or grain storage structures. The fire-fighting job is best left to experts, but farmers should know why spontaneous combustion occurs and how to combat it. Sealed-storage structures usually do not contain enough oxygen to support flames. But fires can begin when filler doors are left open for long periods and the silo is less than one-third full. If enough oxygen is present, spontaneous combustion can occur in silage stored at the normal range of 30 to 50 percent moisture. There is usually not enough oxygen for active flaming, but smoldering can occur, producing carbon monoxide, smoke and blackened silage. To combat spontaneous combustion, follow these steps: - Close the unloader door and all other openings in the bottom of the structure. - If the roof hatches are open, put the covers on, but don't fasten them down. Then get off the roof as quickly as possible. The loose covers may raise to relieve pressure if gases build up excessively. -- Wait for at least 24 hours. Then remove the cap from the drainpipe at a lower access opening and pump carbon dioxide into the unloader cavity at a rate of 500 pounds for each ring of a 20-foot diameter structure. - Never spray water into or on the structure. Spraying water against hot silo walls can damage them and will not effectively cool the silo. Spraying water into the structure may increase oxygen, induce flames, and cause flammable gases to explode. -- When walls have cooled and smoke has not come out of the breather valve for several days, open the unloader door and inspect the feed. If it isn't too hot, fasten roof hatch covers and resume normal feeding operation. --After the silo is completely empty, test for pressure and vacuum, and make necessary repairs before refilling the structure. GREEN CLOVERWORMS Green cloverworms are present in many fields of soybeans. Some fields are being damaged and need y-eatment, but the potential for more widespread damage exists. Many small worms (green and threadlike and V8 to l4 inch long) can be found and many more may yet hatch. However, some of the large worms were found infested with a fungus disease. This disease kills the worms, and they appear white, dry, and hard. Wet, humid weather is conducive to the spread of this disease. A few parasitized worms with a small white egg glued behind the head were seen also. Diseases and spurgeons Limited Time! Custom Draperies 20% Off!

Continue to check your soybean fields that are between bloom and full-pod develop­ ment, and if you find 4 or more worms (half-grown worms or larger) per foot of row, treatment is justified. An alternate method is to apply an insecticide when 20 percent or more of the foliage has been eaten and the worms are still present. For control, apply carbaryl (Sevin) or malathion at 1 pound per acre as sprays over the foliage. PINE SHOOT MOTH European pine shoot moth caterpillars are feeding on the new growth of pine species, especially muhgo, Scotch, and red pine. The overwintering worms fed on and tunneled into the new "candles" in April and early May. This second generation of worms appearing now are feeding on the ends of branches. Sprays containing dimethoate (Cygon, De-Fend) applied now will control these worms. To mix, use 2 teaspoons per gallon of water. Pruning of infested tips of branches will also reduce the overwintering infestation. OYSTERSHELL SCALE Oystershell scale will be hatching soon in McHenry county. The young crawlers set up housekeeping on shrubs like lilac and dogwood. They suck the juices from the plant and if abundant, they can seriously retard growth and even kill the plant. This is the second generation of this scale and the build-up is often heavy. If you have had a history of problems in your yard, spray the shrubs thoroughly with malathion using 2 teaspoons of the 50 to 57 percent liquid concentrate per gallon of water. Target dates for spraying are August 20 in McHenry County. HARVEST EARLY It's just as important to cut second and third crop alfalfa when it reaches the bud to first- flowering stage as it is to cut the first crop early. When cut at an early stage, alfalfa and grasses are at their peak in protein and energy content and provide the best quality feed for cattle. And it's equally important to cut forage early for silage or haylage. Even if you put late- cut, low-quality forage in the best silo available, you can expect to remove only low- quality feed. Service News Airman Bryant A. Lazenby, son of Mr. and Mrs. Billie G. Lazenby of 101 Kohl avenue, Spring Grove, has graduated at Chanute AFB, 111., from the The Law You Using Lethal Weapons 'J* To Protect Property Legal Only Under Certain Conditions How far can you go Vfn' protecting your own property? If you post a sign warning "trespassers will be shot" can you simply start blasting away at anyone who sets foot on your land? The law states that a person is justified in using force to protect his home, but only under a specific and rigid set of circumstances. If an intruder is entering his home and he "reasonably believes" that the only way to stop him is with force, he can do so. But this doesn't mean he can start shooting. The law states that he would be justified in using force that is intended to kill or do great bodily harm ONLY if the entry is made in a violent or riotous manner and he has reason to believe he is preventing a personal assault or a felony in the house. As for property other than the home itself, the Illinois State Bar association says the law makes it clear that the use of force is justified only in getting the intruder off the property. Again, potentially lethal force may be used only when the person reasonably believes that it is necessary to prevent a forcible felony. This would include robbery, burglary, murder and arson as well as any other felony in which violence may be committed against an individual.

Repairing The Rosebushes v So some of your rosebushes didn't make it into the new season. They were beautiful, you knew them by name and talked to them as friends and cared for them, but they're gone. One of the happy wonders of gardening is that we can easily and economically replace plants with new growing residents that quickly earn our affection. Filling the space left in an established rosebed, though, can be a disappointing process if a simple procedure is ignored. The American Association of Nurserymen explains the problem. Soil which has grown roses for several years, the nursery people say, tends to exhaust quantities of plant nutrients. The roses still growing in it continue to thrive because their roots spread to new areas, but a new plant in the same soil will quite likely starve. The new rose in the bed must be planted in a new en­ vironment. Remove the present soil to a depth of 12 inches and a width of 18 inches, and replace it with soil from another part of the garden where roses have not grown. Then prepare the ground in the same way as in any original rose planting. Following that simple procedure, new neighbors can be added for your rose garden family at just about any time. Before and after the growing season the spaces can be filled with dormant plants. During the growing season use potted roses. Justen, Mary Mahoney, McHenry; and Garrett Brennan, Wonder Lake.

IN 1880 Thomas Hughes, whose classic "Tom Brown's School Days" was modeled after Rugby, his own British school, founded a settlement of the same name about 50 miles northwest of Knoxville. The venture failed, but the old buildings of Rugby, Ten­ nessee, are now being restored and may become a tourist attrac­ tion. Ingot Cake?

Letter from Washington by Senator Charles H. Percy Like millions of other Americans, members of Con­ gress are on vacation this month. It is a time to reflect on our accomplishments and make plans for our return to Washington in September. As we assess the accom­ plishments of the 93rd Con­ gress, two, important Senate actions stand out as major steps toward reform of basic governmental and political procedures. I carefully fol­ lowed the progress of the leg­ islation that advanced these reforms. I am confident that they will become law. The first Senate action to­ ward reform involves a major revision of Congressional budgetary policy. The second concerns Senate approval of a tough campaign spending bill. In the field of budgetary reform, Senate action indi­ cates that we can anticipate improvements in the archaic, haphazard and wasteful Con­ gressional spending procedure. The present system ignores the fact that we must spend within our national means. Congressional committees charged with setting spending priorities operate with almost total disregard for the actions of committees charged with raising revenue. The present system resem­ bles a family that spends with no concern for its income. It is as if members of a family wrote checks on the same account without ever check­ ing the balance. Sooner or later, such a policy would lead to financial chaos. The Senate's action, which I helped initiate and encour­ aged as a member of the Government Operations Com­ mittee, requires that Congress annually set a firm spending ceiling. The ceiling would be set after determining antici­ pated tax receipts and the ac­ ceptable amount of debt, if any. Before the ceiling is set, Congress would debate spend­ ing priorities. Members of the House and Senate would have the opportunity to debate the merits of competing spending programs, such as discussing whether we should appropri­ ate funds for highway con­ struction or mass transit. This plan would put the Congressional budget house in order. It would help end the divisive clash over im­ poundment of funds. Most of vail,;iwould be a signal to t, every American taxpayer that the nation is living within its means. The campaign spending re­ form bill, which overwhelm­ ingly passed the Senate last month, will help curb the in­ fluence of big money in poli­ tics. It also deals with some of the abuses that emerged from the Watergate scandal. Earlier this year I proposed a campaign spending reform bill. Six of the provisions of that bill are contained in the bill passed by the Senate. Specifically, the new bill limits the total amount a federal candidate can spend to 10 cents in a primary elec­ tion and 15 cents in a general election for each person of voting age. It limits an indi­ vidual's contributions to $25,- 000 for all federal candidates and $9,000 for any one candi­ date. It provides for full financial disclosure by all members of Congress and candidates for Congress. The bill also eliminates multiple fund raising commit­ tees, places a severe limit of $50 on the size of cash con­ tributions and requires regu­ lar reports by candidates and their committees on all con­ tributions and expenditures. One other provision I sug­ gested would encourage small political contributions by doubling the tax credit from $12.50 to $25. That proposal is now a separate bill, and 1 am optimistic that it will pass this fall. These two steps toward re4 form are especially encour^ aging. We must work dili«i gently in the months ahead td, guarantee that Congress com-.- pletes the task of setting a, responsible budgetary policy. We must also see that tough campaign spending legislation becomes law.
