PAGE 19 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER Extension Comments Council Reorganizes - Dave Gardner, Solon Mills, is the new chairman of the Executive Extension council. Dick Stoxen, Harvard, is the vice-chairman; Steve Johnson, Hebron, secretary ; and Dr. Lloyd Shaw, Woodstock, treasurer. Other Executive council members are Claudia Bowen, Marengo; Lyle Johnson, Bo McConnell and Betty Pulver, all of Woodstock. This council is made up of representatives from our three program councils - Agriculture, Home Economics and 4-H Youth. The Executive council's major responsibilities are securing money for the local operation budget and office housing. The University of Illinois provides four professional staff members and two secretaries. The local money is used to pay office space rent, office sup­ plies, telephone expenses, etc. Frost - Oct. 7 is the average date of the first killing frost for McHenry county. Last year we had scattered areas reporting a light frost oh Sept. 15 and a general killing frost came Sept. 22. I am writing this column Sept. 12 and as of now we have not received a frost. Some of the weathermen in Chicago are talking about the possibility of an early frost in the next few days. For home gardens you can give limited protection against an early frost by removing soil mulch used for weed control and moisture conservation (this mulch keeps the soil heat in the soil and you want to release this heat), cover staked plants with paper or burlap sacks, cover other vegetables with paper (must be held down or it may blow away) or sprinkle with water through the night (warmth of water keeps plant temperature above frost level). If we get an early frost we will get some damage to field crops, but not as severe damage as last year. Most of our field crops are ahead of where they were last year. Waste Regulations The Illinois Environmental Protection agency is accepting written comments on their recently released Design Criteria for Field Application of Livestock Waste. They are taking written comments until Nov. 15, 1975. We have a supply of their draft Design Criteria in our office. Call us and we will mail you a copy. We distributed copies to producers that participated in our Sept. 2 tour of livestock feedlots. Send your comments on the Design Criteria to Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, Division of Water Pollution Control, Permit Section, 2200 Churchill Road, Springfield, 111., 62706. Silage - making has started in McHenry county. I was on the Hartman farm near Marengo this week, and Basil Periman, farm manager, pointed with pride to the extraordinary high yield. He has one field that is yielding 47 tons of silage per acre. We normally consider 20 tons per acre a good yield. Marketing - The Chicago Board of Trade is offering a course on "Economic Factors of the Market Place" between Oct. 15 and Dec. 3. I have a brochure if you want more information. Dairy Herd Nutrition - We are planning to offer a correspondence course this winter for local dairymen to sharpen their knowledge on feeding practices. This will A start in late January or early February. More details later. Cteck List - It's time to get the combines and corn pickers out of the shed and ready for harvest. Take time to check your equipment for needed repairs and readjustments. Many unnecessary farm ac­ cidents occur every fall are due to lack of machinery main­ tenance. First, read the manual for each piece of equipment, particularly the maintenance sections. Note when and how to lubricate and adjust moving parts to prolong machine life. Replace parts that deteriorate with use and age and sharpen cutting edges to maintain ef­ ficient operation. Steering, brakes, hydraulics, fuel systems, exhaust systems, tires, shields and guards, and controls should all be checked to ensure the best performance of the machine. During harvest keep a continual watch on the machine operation. Unusual noises, increased vibrations, lack of responspJto controls, changes in operating speeds, and unusual readings on gauges are war­ ning signals that should be checked. Soil Testing - Now is a good time to take soil samples. This will give you guidance for planning the next four years fertility program. Pull 55 samples per 40 acres and after combining samples, send 11 samples to the lab. Call me for details. 338-3737. ..iCSSif®!®:- POET'S CORNER REFLECTIONS OF THE MOON AND YOU The black sky is often lonely Stars hiding themselves inside And yet, at times its full of light, When the moon shines on at night. I, myself, am often lonely Hiding myself inside. And yet, at times, I'm full of life When you are by my side. Often in my moments of loneliness At night I stare at the sky. Noticing the moon, I feel at ease, For I'm sharing it with you.

They were students in St. Peter's school, Spring Grove in 1912-14. f# 12-14 Spring Grove Students •••li Sunday Reunion So old acquaintances may not be forgotten, a reunion was held at St. Peter's church hall on Sunday, Sept. 21, of pupils who attended St. Peter's school and those who were christened at St. Peter's church from the first baptism in 1901 to 1920. The day began with a Mass in St. Peter's church at 1 p.m.. with Rev. Eugene Jung as celebrant. He was a schoolmate of many of those present. Arnold Rauen was com­ mentator, and taking part in the pcocessional were Leo Lay as cross bearer, Gus Freund and Joe Etten as can- dlebearers. Julia May was OTganist. Following the Mass, a dinner was served in the church hall to 150 people by members of the Christian Mothers society. Leo Lay acted as toastmaster, and there were many laughs over reminiscing. There was music B|^ and dancing. Jl^ The occasion was so en­ joyable, members want another reunion next year. Honored guests were Father Jung's mother, Mrs. Emma Jung, and Mrs. Christina (Ford) Hanford, who was the first baby to be baptized in St. Peter's church. The one who traveled the most miles to be present was Edwin Hergott, who flew in from Los Angeles. Cutlass more excifa9 than ever!
