PAGE 12 - PLAINDEALER-FWDAY, JANUARY 2. 1»7« \ y Extension Comments (By George J. Young, University of Illinois Extension Adviser, Agriculture, McHenry County) * Child Labor Regulation - U.S. Department of Labor regulations say that only persons 16 years old and older may legally operate tractors over 20 horsepower for someone other than their parents. There is a possibility for 14 and 15 year olds to receive exemption from these regulations if they complete 10 classroom hours of tractor safety instruction, pass a written exam, and demonstrate their driving skill. Our office and the Vocational Agriculture and Vocational education instructors In Crystal Lake, Harvard, Huntley, Marengo and Woodstock are cooperating to offer McHenry county fourteen and fifteen- FOUND Found in MeHferiry area, ladies diamond ring, must identify to claim .185-0092 evenings. 1-2-1-9 REAL ESTATE IN EDGEBROOK HEIGHTS BY OWNER Newly decorated, custom built all brick ranch, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, living room, kitchen-dining area.

Soil Test Interpretation - After the soil testing laboratory returns your soil sample test results, you must interpret them or rely on someone else's recommendations. Here are a few rules of thumb to remember when looking at your test results: for corn and soybeans your pH goal is to maintain the test between 6.0 and 6.5; your Pi test goal is to maintain the test between 45 and 60; and your K test goal is to maintain the test near 300. The University of Illinois does not recommend application of phosphorus for corn and soybeans when the Pi test is above 70; nor do we recom­ mend the application of potassium when the K test is above 400. For wheat, we do recommend fall application of phosphorus even if the Pi test is above 70. For alfalfa your pH goal is to maintain the test between 6.5 and 7.0; your PI test goal is to maintain the test above 60; and your K test goal is to maintain the test near 300. Another important point to remember is that the laboratory's soil K test results will be in error if the soil was frozen when the sample was taken. To adjust for this error on frozen soil, subtract 45 from the lab's K test results. You determine the annual fertilization rate by adding together the two factors of soil build up and soil maintenance, PET COLUMN GIVE AWAY Male cat, stripped, good with children, to good home. 344- 2622 1-2 Female Dalmatian, female poodle, too good homes. 385-1770 12-31 FOUND Large, long-haired, black - and - white male cat.

Afternoons or evenings. 1-2 the University of Illinois usually recommends a four year soil build up program. We base this on the facts that it takes nine pounds of P205 to raise the soil PI test one pound and it takes four pounds of K20 to raise the soil K test one pound. At my office I have tables that summarize this information. We locate the soil Pi test and the soil K test on these tables, and they give us the annual P205 and K20 ap­ plication required to build the soil fertility level up. over a four year period, to the suggested goal. Then, to this we ^must add the soil maintenance requirement. This is the amount of nutrients removed by the crop each year.Jftgain, we look to a set of tables that report for each drop the nutrients removed from the soil for different yield levels har­ vested. This information is detailed in our Agronomy handbook. The 1976 edition of the Hand­ book will be available at our Jan. 23 Agronomy day meeting in Woodstock, I will be happy to make copies of the fertility recommendation tables for your use. if you want them before the Jan. 23 session. Also, I would be happy^ to sit down with you and go over ysnr soil test results to give you an VA NEWS Education loans totaling more than $2.4 million were granted veterans attending school under the GI bill during , the first eight months of the new program, the Veterans administration has reported. More than 5,100 applications had been approved by the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 1976. The Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Act of 1974 provided for loans up to $600 per academic year for eligible veterans to meet education expenses. The loans are in addition to monthly stipends paid to GI Bill students. Since inception of the Education Loan Fund program in February, VA regional of­ fices received more than 10,177 applications through Sep­ tember. More than half of the loan applications have been ap­ proved, the VA reported. Ap­ provals ranged from 11 to 84 per cent on a station by station basis. The highest approval rate was registered by the Wichita, Kan., VA office where loans were granted to 235 of the 281 veterans whose ap- unbiased recommendation I based on University of Illinois I research. High-Moisture Corn - Most research data indicates there is no difference between rolling and grinding high-moisture; corn to a medium degree of j fineness for lactating dairy cows. But either ground or rolled high-moisture corn is more efficient than feeding it whole. The advantage falls within a range of about 15 to 13 percent. This increase in ef­ ficiency would certainly pay for the cost of grinding or rolling the high-moisture corn. Season's Greetings - The Ex­ tension staff at the University of Illinois field office in Woodstock extend holiday greetings to you.

Principal factor in deter­ mining eligibility is the com­ parison of "actual cost of school attendance" to the student's "total financial resources," a VA spokesman said. Applicants must be enrolled at least half-time and have sought a loan under the guaranteed student loan program of the Higher Education Act of 1965. Course must lead to a standard college degree or be at least six months duration and lead to "an identified and predetermined educational, professional or vocational objective." Repayment of principal and interest is deferred until nine months after the student ceases h a l f - t i m e e n r o l l m e n t . Currently, the interest rate is siet at 8 per cent. Full Payment is due within 10 years and nine months. There is no penalty for prepayment. A 3 per cent loan fee is deducted from the face amount of the loan to provide a fund Jo insure against defaults whrch are recovered in the same manner as other debts due the U.S. government, the VA pointed out. Students may apply for education loans at the VA regional office handling their ' school papers. O Mount Hope Church United Methodist 1015 W. Broadway Pistakee Highlands Rev.

Wednesday, Prayer Service", 7:30 p.m. Nostalgia is "in" these days ... especially at the beginning of a New Year. Everywhere you turn there are reminders of the Roaring Twenties or the Fabulous Fifties. Old-car buffs abound, and fashions reflect the fads of long-ago decades. Music from World War II is played, and television plots center aroilnd the depression days of the Thirties. It's all a lot of fun -- if you don't take it seriously. Trouble is, we can't live in the past... not this past year, or any other. Bills have to be paid, chores completed, obligations met, and each person has to contribute some­ thing to his world or he is wasting his time. A Christian is able to face life like it is -- today! He can meet his obligations to himself and to society with confidence and faith -- and he can strengthen that faith each Sunday, by going to church... knowing always that the Lord is waiting for him there.
