Village of McHenry Shores Jude La Francis 385-5067 Senior Hot Line Extension Comments (By Georg« J. Young, Extension Advisor, McHenry County, University of Illinois) Poisoning Symptoms As farmers prepare to plant crops, it must be remembered to treat the chemicals used with respect. In the past sixteen years, there has only been one death associated with agriculture pesticide ap­ plication in Illinois. Everyone should work to continue this safety record. It is important to recognize the signs of pesticide poisoning and to know what to do about them. The general symptoms of pesticide pqisoning are headache, dizziness, nausea, blurred vision and chest pain. Advanced signs include sweating, pinpoint pupils and vomiting. If noticing any of these symptoms while working with pesticides, take appropriate first aid measures and get professional medical help. Poisoning symptoms may appear several hours after a person has finished handling pesticides. Don't ignore them. Current Research Dave Plocher toured the University of Illinois Dixon Springs Research center recently. This 5,000 acre research station has 106 current research projects. He looked at several of the livestock experiments and at their no-till crop production. Their most "level" fields still have more slope than the McHenry county rolling pastures. The surprising thing is that they are producing 120- 130 bushels of corn per acre off these hills. The soil is never plowed so there is very little erosion. Some of the things seen can be applied locally. Beef Referendum Beef producers will have an opportunity to vote on a beef research and information plan. At their recent meeting, the McHenry County Livestock association board voted to support passage of this referendum. Beef producers will register to vote on this national voluntary check off in June and voting will be in July at ASCS offices. This includes cow-calf operators, farmer- feeders, feedlot operators and dairymen. Dairy cattle account for 20 percent of the nations' beef production. More details later. Rinsewater A $12,000 grant from the Illinois Institute for En­ vironmental Quality will be used to study removal of pesticide residues from rin­ sewater and equipment. The University of Illinois Agricultural Engineering and Agronomy departments will study the use of a filtration system to remove the residues. Harvest Young Radishes It's not the size, but the length of the growing period that gives radishes a hot taste. Hot radishes either grow too slowly, or are too old. Radishes are a cool-season, fast-maturing vegetable. They usually grow best in the spring, but some late<matucing varieties can be planted for summer use. Plant Asparagus Establishing a good asparagus bed requires work. However, a well-cared-for bed will last twenty to thirty years. One-year-old crowns or asparagus plants should be planted as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring. Although it is not too late now to plant asparagus, do it as soon as possible, before the ground gets too warm.
