BOTTLES PLUS DEP PAGE9- PI.AINDFALFR- WEDNESDAY, JULY (By George J. Young, Extension Advisor, McHonry County, University of Illinois) Elmer Pflug makes modifications on a conversion memory scanner at the Rome Air Development center<RADC). A student at Rensselaer Polytechnic institute from McHenry, he is here through a university-Air Force cooperative educational program. University students are p r o v i d i n g e l e c t r i c a l engineering skills to the Rome Air Development center (RADC) through a joint Air Force-university program. Seven students, five from the University of Detroit and two from Rensselaer Polytechnic institute, are presently working for RADC, each completing one of a number of work periods. RADC, a center for electronic research and development here, benefits as well as the students from the 15 year old program known as the Coop program. For the student, it is a chance to gain working experience within an academic program. After completing at least two years of college, a Coop student alternates periods of school and work. This provides the op­ portunity to apply his academic training. For RADC, the students offer a fresh enthusiasm and new ideas. Also many Coop graduates, already trained and adjusted to military surrounds, come back to RADC for full time employment. Their prior association with RADC can save months of orientation. Among those involved in the program is Elmer Pflug from Rensselaer Polytechnic in­ stitute. Corn Rootworms Recently, it was noted that corn rootworm beetles were coming and they are now in the county. Several were picked up recently while scouting. This is about two or three weeks ahead of normal. It is suggested one begin checking fields for the iniect. If beetle populations are high, some damage will occur, especially if the plant is pollinating. If one finds an average of five or more beetles per plant in the field and the field is not more than 50 percent silked, an insecticide may be justified for control. After that, benefits from the treatment rapidly diminish. There is no benefit in spraying when all the plants have silked. For control, carbaryl, malathion or diazinon may be used. Read and follow label directions. Rotation with soybeans also can be used to break up the life cycle of the corn rootworm. , Councils Activities of the Extension office are guided by local people who volunteer their time to serve on one of the three program councils: Agriculture, Home Economics and 441 and Youth. New members coming onto the Agriculture council this year are Randy Book, Harvard; Tom Deneen and Dave LaGue, Marengo; and Tom Lillegard of Crystal Lake. They will be joining the fifteen other local leaders that give guidance to the agricultural portion of the local extension education programs. Plots , Bob Berschet of Marengo hosted the twilight meeting at the wheat variety plot recently. Earl and Bob Hughes, Wood­ stock, $ill be host soon at the oat plot. This is an opportunity to view eight oat varieties. The plot is on the north side of Dunham road, just east of McKinstry road. July 25, Bill Cristy, Wonder Lake, will host the insect twilight meeting. This will be on Ringwood road, the first corn field on the Jeft side of the road, just east of Rt. 31. Don Kuhlman, University of Illinois entomologist, will be at this session to give a corn rootworm update and answer all insect questions. Both the oat and insect meetings are 7 p.m. until dark. ^ Weather Outlook ,• Farmers in most areas of the state may relax a little, if the National Weather service (NWS) thirty-day agricultural forecast is accurate. The forecast released recently, calls for below average tem­ peratures everywhere in the state, except for southern Illinois. Temperatures will be about average there. Precipitation should be average to above average in all parts of the state. Weather patterns should return to normal in July because of a shift in air currents. This also will im­ prove the situation in most areas of the corn belt. The forecast is part of the NWS Agriculture Weather service center, based at Purdue university. Marketing Update A recent TeleNet session featured Tom Hieronymus and Tom Elam, University of Illinois marketing specialists, along with Jim Gill and Kermit Stumbo from the Illinois agricultural association. They gave their analysis of the July 12 USDA crdp report that recently came out. In addition to the eny> situation, the marketing specialists will look at the livestock picture for late summer and early fall. This session will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Extension office in Woodstock.
