Wheat Yields - Over the past several years McHenry county's average wheat yield has run about 40 bushels per acre. The yields being reported for this 1976 crop are in the 50's and 60's. Insects • Dr. Don Kuhlman, University of Illinois en­ tomologist, will lead the discussion at our insect twilight meeting July 27. Two topics we plan to cover in detail are corn rootworm adult scouting in August, 1976, to predict need for rootworm insecticide in 1977 on individual fields and the alfalfa weevil situation in McHenry county and northern Illinois. This session will be held at Hughes Seed Farm, 206 N. Hughes road, Woodstock. This is an opportunity for you to ask your insect questions. Plans For Weed Control • It's time to start making plans for next year's weed control program. And one of the best ways to start is by evaluating this year's results. Start by evaluating the untreated check strips you left in your fields so What One Person Can D DON NEWCOMBE. MAJOR LEAGUER The time: 1949. The place: Yankee Stadium. On the mound for the Brooklyn Dodgers against the New York Yankees: 23-year-old Don Newcombe, the first black pitcher in the major leagues. "It was the best game I ever Ditched," recalls "The Newk," even though he lost when "Tommy Hendrick hit a home run off me in the ninth." Now, twenty-seven years later, the six-foot-six athlete is playing in another ball game. "It's as big a ball gamfe as I've ever been in in my life." he explains. The "big game" is his work alerting youngsters to the disease called "Alcoholism." "I travel all around the country to the schools," says Mr. Newcombe. "I tell the kids what alcoholism did to me. How it rained my career." To tens of thousands of children, he gives the truth about his long bout with alcohol, the collapse of his career, the near ruination of his family life and his deter­ mination never to take another drink. "I don't ever tell them that you can determine what weeds were controlled and what ones were missed. In fields where you didn't intentionally leave an untreated area, you may be able to find places the sprayer missed. These misses are often close to the ends of the fields. « ys,\ they shouldn't drink," he say "but I say to be careful about the amount you put in your system and don't become dependent on it." He goes on to say, "If they see a well-known person stand up in front of them and tell them what alcoholism did to him, maybe then they'll have something to think about before they start drinking." Don Newcombe adds, "If nobody stands up and talks about it, how in the world will the young folk who are now using alcohol in large amounts know what to do about it?...If I can save one kid - from alcoholism," says The* Newk, "I will have really done something." PUNCH LINE O F . T H E W E E K THE MOPERATE HAS A WAV OF MAKING ENEMIES LEFT AMD RIGHT. Extension Comments (By George J. Young, Ex­ tension Advisor, Agriculture, McHenry County) Soil Testing <- Soil test results may save you money on phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Large increases in soil phosphorus levels have occurred with the use of commercial fertilizer. R e c o m m e n d e d s o i l phosphorus test levels for most McHenry County Soils is 50 pounds per acre. The fertilizer program should return to the soil an amount of fertilizer equivalent to that removed in the harvested portion of the crop. If phosphorus soil test levels are below 50, additional phosphorus fertilizer is needed above the phosphorus removal rate. If phosphorus soil test levels are above 70, phosphorus fertilizer is not needed by McHenry county field crops. The field should be re-tested in four years to provide in­ formation for developing the soil fertility program for the next four years. Continuing to use phosphorus fertilizers when soil phosphorus test levels are above 70 creates the risk of inducing zinc deficiency in crops. Potassium soil test levels should be maintained between 300 to 400 pounds per acre, except on sandy soils where 260 to 360 is a practical goal. Soil potassium levels on grain farms seem to be maintained fairly well. Only seeds are removed and they do not contain much potassium as compared to leafy plant parts. On livestock farms where forages are removed from fields for feeding, soil potassium levels are depleted unless adequate potassium fertilizer is applied. Excessive use of potassium fertilizer beyond soil test levels of 400 pounds per acre may induce reduced magnesium levels in forages. Low magnesium levels in forage contribute to the problem of grass tetany in cattle. Soil Acidity Problems • Soil acidity problems are Un­ necessary. Acidity tests can be made accurately, simply and inexpensively by Illinois soil testing laboratories. Increased crop yields, reduced attention • to ap­ plication of agricultural lime in recent years and residual acidity from nitrogen fer­ tilizers are factors contributing to today's concern for soil acidity levels. However, in­ discriminate use of agricultural lime without identifying a specific need is not a good practice. Desirable soil acidity levels are 6.2 or more for corn, soybeans and small grain, and 6.5 or more for legume forages^ The only way to know the soil acidity level is to collect and test soil samples. Over-liming can injure crops. Most notable is chlorosis or yellowing of young soybeans. Once an excessive lime situation is created, or if one exists as a result of natural conditions, it is expensive and usually not practical to correct. Such areas have a potential for micronutrient deficiency problems with manganese, iron and zinc. Soybean Research - I toured the University of Illinois' N o r t h e a s t e r n I l l i n o i s Agronomy Research center near Ellwood last week. One of the plots there demonstrates the importance of proper planting depth for soybeans. It shows that Corsoy and Harcor stand planting up to four inches deep pretty well, but Amsoy, Beeson, hark, Hodgson and Wells require shallow planting to produce acceptable stands. ~ C OSHA Procedures - The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is implementing a new procedure for making revisions in the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. Farmers, agribusinessmen, and other interested persons are asked to submit written comments c o n c e r n i n g a g r i c u l t u r a l standards and propose changes. There will also be meetings throughout the country for the public to orally express their views to OSHA officials.

JULY 30, l»76 THERE IN BUSINESS The Law Serves You Fences Between Farm l-ands Are Subject To State Law Few things seem to escape Svernment regulation these ys, but state laws governing the placement and main­ tenance of fences separating Illinois farm lands have been on the books for almost as long as fences have been on the prairies. State law specifies that fences four and one-half feet high, and in good repair, consisting of rails, timber boards, stone, hedges, barb wire, woven wire, or whatever material the local fence viewers agree to shall con­ stitute a legal fence. The Illinois State Bar association says the laws exist primarily to settle disputes between the owners of property in unincorporated areas of the state. In counties under a township organization, the public is empowered to determine what shall constitute a legal fence at any annual meeting; in counties which are not under township organization, the power to regulate the height of fences is vested in the county board. Fence viewers may be members of the county board of auditors in township counties, J' Keepin' Healthy by Mary Richards According to public health swimming pool inspectors, a simple test for water clarity...called the "dime test"...is one way for swim­ mers to determine whether pool water meets state stan­ dards for clarity. Vou should be able to observe whether a dime is heads or tails when it's lying on the bottom in the deepest part of the pool. Crystal clear water, however, is not the only thing you should look for when planning to swim in a public pool. One of the most important things to look for is a lifeguard, especially if you have children with you. If there is no lifeguard on duty, do not let children swim unless they are accompanied by a responsible adult who knows life-saving techniques and first aid. It's a good idea to check the pool to be certain that life-saving devices...such as a floating ring buoy and shepherd's crook...are readily available for emergency use. Eye, ear, nose and throat infections are common hazards associated with swimming in contaminated pool water. The risk of infection is greatly reduced, however, if you swim only in pools where the water quality is properly maintained. Chances are the water quality is properly maintained if: the water appears crystal clear; the water is continuously circulated and the water level is kept up to the overflow level; there is no odor of ammonia or •chlorine (a strong chlorine odor indicates a chemical reaction caused by an insufficient amount of chlorine in the water). The Illinois Department of Public Health wants all swimmers to take a few moments to make these simple observations before swimming in public pools. It takes such and members of the county board in other counties. Fence viewers are called upon when disputes arise over the placement or maintenance of a fence. According to the Illinois State Bar association, when two or more owners have lands adjoining, each of them shall make and maintain a just proportion of the division fence between the lands. State law says a one-year notice, in writing, must be given the occupant of adjoining land if an owner wishes to remove a portion of a division fence. The other occupant then has the right to challenge the removal. If an owner has constructed a division fence that is later found to be on the property of the adjoining land, the owner may enter the other person's land and remove it within six months, or after any crops that are growing on the adjoining land are harvested. The owner of livestock is liable for making repairs to a fence damaged by the livestock. State law even says the damaged party may keep possession of livestock under certain circumstances until the fence repairs or financial reimbursement is made. little time and could add a lot to. you and your family's summer enjoyment.

Illinois Consumer Advocate Celia Maloney warns con­ sumers to read carefully the label on insecticide containers before using them. Insecticides are poisonous and can be fatal if swallowed or in jested. Pesticides come in many forms, from powders, pre- mixed sprays, dusts, pellets, and paint-on compounds. Select the pesticide that best suits your purpose. Bear in mind that a space spray for flying insects is not effective as a surface spray for crawling insects; and vice-versa. When using a pesticide, wear clothing that covers your arms and legs. Before you use the pesticide, re-read the label or leaflet. Never trust your memory. If you are using the pesticide indoors, remove food, dishes, and all utensils before spraying. Keep cabinets closed or remove all contents. Wait until the shelves are dry before HEARING AIDS BATTERIES AND SERVICE BOLGER'S 1?59 N. GREEN ST. I 385-4500 refilling them. ' Cover ^quariums and fish bowls, and remove birds and pets. When using a rodent or insect bait, never place it where children or pets can get to it. When spraying outdoors, cover fish ponds and avoid dug wells. Over application may cause run-off or seepage, thus causing contamination of water supplies. When you finish the job, clean any equipment that you used and safely dispose of any containers. Wrap single, empty containers in several layers of newspaper and tie securely. Then, put the containers in a covered trash can or bury the wrapped container in a hole at least 18" deep, in a place where there is no chance for con­ tamination of water. If you get a pesticide in your eyes, flush your eyes with water for 15 minutes; then call a doctor. If someone ac­ cidentally swallows a pesticide, quickly check the container. It may recommend an antidote or other first aid Call a doctor in any case.

Illinois DHI Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) records on Illinois dairy herds were completed with the April, 1976 test. The 1,002 herds oh full-year test produced an average 13,293 pounds of milk and 509 pounds of fat, reports G.W. Harpestad, University of Illinois Extension dairy scientist. As a comparison, all dairy cows in Illinois average about 10,000 pounds of milk per cow, he continues. This was the first year that DHI average figures exceeded 13,000 pounds of milk and 500 pounds forifat., The highest fat producing herd was a registered and grade Holstein herd owned by Robert J. Gerloff, Woodstock. The 35-cow herd averaged 762 pounds of fat and 18,657 pounds of milk. LaVeme Koester, Dakota, had the highest milk producing herd with fifty grade and registered Holsteins averaging 19,333 pounds of milk and 726 pounds of fat. For the fourth consecutive year, James Pifer, Palestine, had the top Jersey herd in butterfat production with 622 pounds, and 11,375 pounds of milk from 95 registered cows. C.A. Schweigert and Sons, Tremont, had the top milk producing Jersey herd. This registered herd of 26 cows averaged 11,827 pounds of milk and 544 pounds of butterfat. Records Muehling Meadows of Cissna Park averaged 619 pounds of butterfat and 38 registered Guernseys, and Richard Hardy of Rantoul averaged 618 pounds of butterfat from 41 registered and grade Guernseys. Hardy had the top milk producing Guernsey herd with 13,921 pounds. The top Brown Swiss herd, owned by Jack K. Schoepke of Varna, produced 658 pounds of butterfat and 15,109 pounds of milk. The 24 registered Ayr- shires owned by John Halterman, West York, averaged 12,038 pounds of milk and 507 pounds of butterfat to top that breed's production. Kingsdale Farms, Oneida, had the top producing Milking Shorthorn herd with eighteen registered cows averaging 13,937 pounds of milk and 521 pounds of butterfat. Over 55 percent of the 1,002 herds averaged 500 or more pounds of butterfat per cow. One hundred and two herds reached or exceeded the 600 pound level with six herds reaching 700 pounds.

I Twice Told Ta *POOOOO--ooopoooopoooooooooaoopoooc FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 29, 1926) Is there an American who has not thrilled while reading of the exploits of the cowboys and Indian fighters of the old Frontier days? And who of us does not remember when he played at being either cowboy or Indian and went to retirement at night to dream oyer the exploits of catching wild broncos or wiping out a camp of redskins? This fantasy so close and dear to the heart of the American youth has been responsible for the stardom of such movie performers as Bill Hart, Tom Mix and others.
