Some Lincoln History IN YOUR GARDEN CHET BRANDT The Sangamon Valley collection of Springfield's Lincoln library is a fascinating place, according to Sangamon State university student Chet Brandt, son of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Brandt, 8816 Acorn path, Wonder Lake. He should know, because he worked there from January to May in order to satisfy SSU's requirement that each un­ dergraduate devote one semester to a job that relates in some way to his or her area of concentration. "I spent more than my allotted time at the library because I enjoyed it so much," he said. Located on the third floor of the new Lincoln library building, the Sangamon Valley collection is an historical research facility devoted to Springfield and a ten to twelve- county area surrounding it. "It's not exactly an ar­ chives," says Brandt. "It has recent city documents that may not mean much now, but that someday will be important. It has collected the works of authors from the Sangamon Valley area. The collection also has a file of clippings from area newspapers. "We also worked on an obituary file. Every obituary that appeared in the Springfield Journal-Register since 1860 will be in it. "It would be a great place to start if you're researching your geneology, and the library is in the process of arranging its card catalog so that it becomes a resource in itself instead of just a list of books." In addition to his hours in the Sangamon Valley collection, Brandt did general library work, ranging all the way from shelving books to answering reference questions. A major project for him was the compilation of a bibliography of pre-1806 Illinois sources of social-agricultural materials. Extension Comments (By George J. Young, Extension Adviser, McHenry County, University of Illinois) Local Rain Talking with farmers from each of the county's seventeen townships about how much rain they received between May 1 and May 18 points out how variable the showers have been. Of the men talked with, the lowest report came from the Hebron area at 1.3 inches and the highest was from the Woodstock area at 3.25 inches. The other reports were well scattered within this range. The U.S. weather reporting station kept by Harold Hyde at Marengo, officially reported 2.05 inches between the first and the eighteenth. The U.S. Weather service had predicted an average of 2.5 inches of rain for McHenry county (about average) for the entire month of May. New Publications Recently off the press are four new publications. "Farm Business Arrangements: Which One For You?" North Central Regional Extension Publication 50;" "Pollution Laws and the Illinois Farmer, U of I Circular No. 1130;" and "Sprinkler Irrigation, USDA Leaflet No. 476." Farm Management There will be a workshop June 14, 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. for persons wanting to do tran­ sition planning. The main purpose of transitional plan­ ning is to test the proposed plan over time (using a computer) relative to the timing of farm business changes and the impact on profits, cash flows, debits and solvency. The computer results include the following for each year projected: farm plan sum­ mary; profit or loss statement; analysis of profits, cash flows, debit servicing and repayment; and analysis of balance sheet and ratios. If interested in this June 14 workshop, please call the office. Beef Referendum The two-week registration period for the Beef Research and Information Order referendum is set for the period between June 6 and June 17 at the ASCS office in Woodstock. Anyone who was a cattle producer during 1976 can register to vote. This includes FFA and 4-H members. There is no age limit. Those who register can vote on the referendum between July 5 and July 15 at the local ASCS office. This is the referendum that the local Livestock Association board supports. Birch Borer Bronze Birch Borers cause a great deal of damage to birch trees in McHenry county. To suppress this insect, consider spraying the bark of the trunk and limbs with dimethoate in early June and repeat three weeks later. Read and follow instructions on the label. Alfalfa Most of the alfalfa looked at recently was going into the bud stage. It's time to make hay. Be A Defensive Driver Be a defensive tractor driver, especially when traveling on public roads. Careful tractor operation and safety equipment help to avoid highway tractor accidents. Lights, reflectors, and slow-moving vehicle emblems enable motorists to see the vehicle on the roads. Nearly one-half of the highway tractor accidents involve collisions with other moving vehicles. Wildlife Meeting The office and the Soil and Water Conservation district are co-sponsoring a Wildlife Area management twilight meeting Thursday, June 9. It will be 6:30 p.m. until dark at the Velsical Chemical corporation property Organic Gardening Organic gardening without the use of chemicals to control weeds, diseases, and insects grows more popular with many home-gardeners each year. Increase the chances of success with organic gardening by following some established gardening practices. As a starter, choose varieties that can be grown with little or no danger of damage from disease or insect pests. Radishes, lettuce, onions, leeks, chives, beets, chard, mustard, Chinese cabbage, parsnips, salsify, peas, spinach, sweet potatoes, tur­ nips and most herbs fill this bill and can be grown with great success. If interested in using biological methods to control insects, such as a spray of bacillus thuringiensis, add green beans, cabbage, kale, collards, brussels sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower to the garden. If growing tomatoes-the most popular garden item with home gardeners-hand-pick tomato hornworms and stake, tie up or mulch the plants to prevent plants or fruits from coming in contact with the ground. Shoots infected by aphids can be removed. Sweet corn can also be grown successfully in Illinois without the aid of chemicals if one pays attention to timing. Plant before the end of May. Corn planted during this period will generally silk after June 15 and before mid-July-a period during which there is little risk of serious earworm infestation. - Most organic gardeners will run into trouble if they attempt to grow vine crops, such as cucumber, muskmelon, pumpkin, squash, and egg plant. These crops are attached by insects that can be con­ trolled only by chemicals. Follow these important steps to further assure success for your gardening efforts: 1. Plant in rows and thin to proper spacing. 2. Don't water in the evening or walk through the garden when it is damp to avoid spreading disease. 3. Use fresh, commercial seed that is grown under \ disease-free conditions. 4. Keep weeds and grass out by shallow hoeing or mulching. Weeds compete for fertility, water and space. 5. Don't work the soil when it is wet to avoid soil compaction. 6. Use compost, manure, steamed bone meal, rock phosphate, and muriate potash, and wood ashes to provide adequate nutrients for the garden's plants. 7. Plant at the proper time. 8. Use mulches, stakes, cages or training methods to keep plants off the ground whenever feasible. If, in spite of all these efforts, pests threaten to take over, it may be necessary to apply an appropriate pesticide. When the pest population has been reduced, continue the organic methods. This method demands the very best of a gardener. The reward of success makes the effort whorthwhile. on Deep Cut road, northwest of .Woodstock. This is an op­ portunity to better understand and ask questions on wildlife area management. The speakers include Bill Jarvis, Wildlife biologist with the state of Illinois and Dr. Ted Curtin, forester with the University of Illinois. Assisting with supporting information are Sam Haning, SCS giving site details; Jim Lucus, ASCS explaining wildlife-related practices eligible for federal cost-sharing assistance and Bob Thompson, 4-H forestry project member.
