rtWWVWWWWVW Northern lllini 'J Bowmen News BOWHUNTING WARMUP Northern lllini Bowmen of McHenry are holding their Jack Perry Memorial BROADHEAD invitational shoot on August 15... this coming Sunday. Registration will be open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. with 3 place trophies given by divisions. With Wisconsin deer archery season just 5 weeks away, this is an opportunity for the big game bowhunter to practice his skill with the bow. Deer, bear, coon, pheasant and squirrel targets will be shot from unknown distances from blinds and tree stands approximating the real hunting conditions. Food and soft drinks will be available at the range on Draper Road just a mile west of McHenry, off Illinois 120. All interested archers are invited to participate. Broadheads will be shot by adults. Youth from 12 to 18 may shoot broadheads if accompanied by a parent. Youngsters 11 and under must shoot field or target arrows at the NIB Broadhead archery shoot this Sunday. GOLD MEDAL JEAN Northern lllini Bowmen have a National Field Archery Gold Medal winner, Jean Bird of Wauconda won her flight in Free Style Open division. Jean was using a compound bow, sight and string release to shoot scores of over 500 each day for 5 days. The National Field Archery Championships were held last week at Fabian Woods north of Aurora. Auroraland Archers with the help of the park district constructed 9 ranges of 28 targets each to ac­ commodate over 1,300 archers all shooting at the same time. There were archers present from every state in the union except Montana and Alaska!.

Young, Extension Adviser, Agriculture, McHenry County, University of Illinois) Oat Plot Yields - Our oat variety demonstration plot was harvested Saturday, July 24, and the top yielding variety was Jaycee at 134.34 bushels per acre, adjusted to 14 percent moisture. Illinois Experimental yielded 131.57 bushels per acre; Otee, 123.10; Noble, 122.82; Wright, 120.%; Stout, 114.12; Froker, 111.58; Dal, 110.60 ; and Garland, 105.42. Our average county yield last year was reported at 57 bushels per acre. Check For Insects In August - Second brood European corn borers, corn rootworm beetles and corn leaf aphids are all attracted to late maturing fields of corn during August and may cause economic damage. Corn fields should be checked for these pests and control measures used when necessary. Economic infestations of corn borer are tough to detect in August, but easy to diagnose at harvest by dropped ears and broken stalks. Fortunately, the damage by second-brood corn borer isn't always as bad as it appears. And early harvest will help avoid losses from ear droppage. To assess the need for controlling corn borer, look for egg masses on leaves and newly hatched larvae in the leaf axils. The moths deposit their eggs when corn is in the late-whorl to brown- silk stage. Treatment is justified if there are an average of one or more egg masses per plant or two or more borers per plant. Western and northern corn rootworm beetle populations have been high in many fields of continuous corn. These beetles will migrate to late-maturing fields, feed on corn silks, and reduce pollination. Consider treating with carbaryl (Sevin), diazinon, or malathion if less than 50 percent of the ears have pollinated and five or more beetles are found per plant. As with herbicides, the effectiveness of soil insecticides is highly dependent upon weather conditions. Early-planting, low insecticide rates, and heavy rains after planting are some of the factors contributing to poor control. Insecticide resistance is suspected, but not confirmed. Corn leaf aphids-greenish soft-bodied plant lice-can reduce corn yields by sucking juice from plants during pollination. Look for them as tassels are emerging. The need to spray with malathion or diazinon for control is greatest during pollination if 50 percent of the plants have light to moderate infestations. Corn rootworm beetles should be monitored in individual corn fields in August to determine if a rootworm insecticide is needed for the 1977 corn crop.To determine if you will need a rootworm insecticide in 1977, take beetle counts to Aug. 25. Fi^ds averaging one or more rootworm beeltes per plant on any sampling date in August, 1976, should be treated with a soil insecticide in 1977. Fields with less than one rootworm beetle per plant can be planted to corn in 1977 without a soil rootworm insecticide. Call our office to obtain a copy of the recommended procedure to use in making rootworm beetle counts.

I>7t For And About Teenagers Benton Harbor, Mich. -- The principal findings of an experimental recycling project conducted jointly by Whirl­ pool Corporation and Inland Steel Co., is that major home appliances such as washers, dryers, and refrigerators can now be recycled into new steel with minimal upgrading. Traditionally, these ap­ pliances were abandoned or discarded in municipal land­ fills because their porcelain enamel coatings were believed to cause damage to the walls of costly steel making fur­ naces, and therefore, were ex­ cluded from all scrap metals used in making steel. Dr. Donald Scherpereel, director of mechanical engi­ neering research for Whirlpool Corporation, reports that the project, which began in 1971, was conducted to determine whether or not non-ferrous and non metallic materials found in discarded major home appliances would have a detrimental effect on the steel making equipment and the newly processed steel. The pri­ mary concern, at the begin­ ning of the project, was to determine if metal with por­ celain enamel coatings could be recycled. In the past, steel companies would not purchase steel with porcelain enamel for fear that it would damage the furnace lining refactories and reduce the life of the steel making furnaces. Dr. Scherpereel said that in 1972, Inland Steel agreed to conduct a test melt of approximately 27 tons of clean porcelain enamel scrap supplied by one of the appli­ ance manufacturer's facilities. This scrap, which accounted for 7.2 percent of the total melt, produced no detrimen­ tal effect. However, Inland researchers recommended a longer test series before con­ clusive results could be made. Over 400 tons of discarded appliances were collected in the Chicago, 111., area, baled and shipped to Inland Steel's East Chicago Works .for a more extensive experimental program. In this second phase, the researchers were also concerned with the problem of copper because the entire applliance was used as a charge material. Between 45,000 and 85,000 pounds of bundled appliances were used as a part of the furnace charge in ten of twelve consecutive heats. The metalurgical report by Inland of this extended run concluded that "unprepared porcelain scrap can be used in an open hearth furnace, if a copper bearing heat is to be made. Several characteristics of this scrap must be im­ proved, however, before its widespread use can be prac­ tical." Scherpereef said the foremost problem is the cop­ per bearing motors. If the motors were removed prior to processing, the scrap could be used for a wider range of steel products. The second problem noted by the researchers was the bundle density. The bundled appliances did not meet the desired minimum weight of 6,000 pounds. However, this problem could possibly be overcome with more efficient compaction techniques. In general, the report con­ cludes: "Once these problems are solved there is no apparent reason why this scrap cannot be used to make any grade of steel, including enameling iron." Scherpereel concluded by saying: "Even though the dis­ posal of appliances is currently considered to be a minor problem, it is never too early to be concerned with recycling and reclaiming our natural resources."
