Bob Hoeft, University of Illinois Extension agronomist, says the number of letters, calls and promotional leaflets put out by "quack" fertilizer salesmen is increasing. But these "quacks" are easy to spot-if you watch for them. "They often claim their product is mpx,e efficient, requires lower application rates, or that the product makes nutrients in the soil more available," Hoeft says. "Sometimes they say their product doesn't contain, 'strong acids' that kill soil bacteria and earthworms," he adds. "If you really question these salesmen; you'll discover they can never offer real proof of their product's value." "They'll quote a farmer you don't know, or say they don't SNOWMOBILES 73 El Tigre, 440 cc, excellent condition. $950. 385-8451 2-2-2-4 P£T COLUMN GIVE AWAY 6 month old.

"There's no substitute for unbiased research," he em­ phasizes. Research results often refute the specific claims of the quack. If a salesman can't produce research data supporting his sales pitch, your best bet is to ask him to come back when he can support his claims." v . If one must purchase fer­ tilizer from a dealer he doesn't know, or a company he hasn't dealt with, Hoeft recommends comparing the cost of actual plant nutrients the product contains with the cost of the same nutrients in standard fertilizer. When one buys fertilizer, he is really buying pounds of nitrogen,o phosphorus and potassium. And one should base cost comparisons on the cost of these nutrients, Hoeft says. University research has found no materials more ef­ fective when compared on an equal-nutrient basis than fertilizer materials currently recommended by the U. of I. Hoeft suggests seeking ad­ vice before buying an unproven product-preferably from the county Extension advisor or a legitimate fertilizer dealer. University of Illinois Extension specialists are also always willing to give unbiased ad­ vice.

It's really so bad When it's too late That people are sad And try to relate. So let's remember today The ones we cherish And then we can say After they perish That we loved every day And have no remorse Now we can proudly say We took the right course. R.

Another fuel-saving idea: if you don't have storm windows, staple clear plas­ tic over your windows to reduce heat loss.

Steve AUTOWORLD By BRENT RUSSELL Just three days before h • vacated the White House t" make room for Jimmy Car­ ter, President Ford suggested that Congress authorize the spending of $11.3 billion on surface transportation in the government's fiscal year be­ ginning Oct. 1. The significance of this figure doesn't have much to do with its size; there Is little change from the cur­ rent budget year. But there is a trend developing that should be carefully watched by the driving public: The percentage proposed for highway spending versus the amount for transit systems and railroads is beginning to take a nose dive. This is not a good time to begin to de-emphasize high- . ways. Evidence is mounting that the nation's fantastic interstate highway system is beginning to crumble because maintenance is being de­ ferred. To halt this situa­ tion, there is a need for sus­ tained or even higher high­ way spending. One highway advocate recently told a Busi­ ness Week reporter that the nation is "faced with a Penh Central of the highways," a reference to the railroad that literally crumbled out of ex­ istence. While the need for totally new highways is somewhat reduced, there is a distinct need for completing the In­ terstate system. Since 1956, 38,000 miles of the planned 42,500-mile system has been completed at a cost of $60 billion. But highway build­ ing costs have gon£ up so quickly that completing the final 10 per cent will cost nearly $32 billion, assuming costs do not continue to rise. No one can argue that the nation can do without transit and railroad programs. They are important, but certainly no more so than highways. Federal Highway Adminis­ trator Norbert T. Tieman re­ cently estimated that more than 90 per cent of the per­ sonal travel in this country moves on rubber-tired motor vehicles. Tieman also said Ameri­ can highways are being used at the rate of a trillion and one-third miles a year. Moreover, the Highway Users Federation predicts that miles driven will in- crease 46 per cent by 1990. , Ironically, state and fed­ eral coffers held in reserve to build and repair highways are suffering because of bet­ ter fuel efficiency in moderrt automobiles. These coffers are filled through taxes on gasoline and each gallon in new cars is propelling the vehicle a little further. The whipsaw caused by highway building inflation and lowered tax receipts from fuel efficient automobiles means planners must ma' each dollar go a little furth . Highway building should have a constant prioi lty and not be subject to arbitrary modification. Mr. Ford, of course, will have little to do with what happens in sub sequent years and the nev president expects to stain his own personality on the 11th hour budgetary offering of his predecessor. Still, fed­ eral budgets become blue­ prints for federal actions for years to come. The White House suggestion of a spend­ ing level virtually locks It into the unwieldly budget and makes retreat difficult. President Carter says he wants to make sure the na­ tion's highways are properly- administered. Hopefully, he will get around to checking on Ford's proposal before it's too late. ••• * * * * Patience is the art of solving problems by let­ ting them alone. I
