List Methods To Keep Pests Away From Grain Keepin' Healthy "O suns and skies and clouds of June, , And flowers of June together, Ye cannot rival for one hour October's bright blue weather." Helen Hunt Jackson, who wrote these words a century ago, obviously felt, as many of us do, that October is one of the loveliest months of the year. For most children, the month is climaxed on its last day ~- Halloween. In all the ex­ citement, however, it is sometimes easy for children and parents to overlook simple safety precautions that, can protect youngsters from harm. The Illinois Department of Public Health has compiled a list of Halloween "do's" and "don'ts" that may help avert tragedy. First, costumes. Whether they are bought or homemade, be sure they are fire resistant. Look for "flameproof" labels when purchasing costumes, masks, beards or wigs. Avoid costumes made of^.fligisy materials and outfits with big bag|y sleeves or? .bjUowing skirts. It's very easy tor k child to' brush against a candle or other flame and set fire to the big sleeves or billowing skirt. Also, costumes should be short enough so children won't trip on them, and light and bright enough to be clearly visible to motorists on dimly lighted streets, children can carry flashlights...or reflective tape can be sewn on their costumes. Masks and other disguises should not restrict vision or breathing. Plastic bags over faces can cause suffocation. The safest mask is a natural one made of cosmetics or charcoal applied directly to the skin. Another precaution is to be sure candle-lighted jack-o- lanterns are not set on door­ steps or other places where children may brush against them. Do not let children carry candles or other open flame, even inside a pumpkin. A responsible older person should accompany young trick- or-treaters, and keep them constantly in sight. Before your children go out on Halloween, caution them against running across lawns or backyards where they might trip or fall in the darkness. You should also caution them against dashing into the streets from between parked cars, and against eating the treats they collect until the candy, apples and other "goodies" have been carefully examined by an adult. In recent years, there have been incidents of real-life "monsters" placing hazardous substances in treats. Finally, if driving your car on Halloween, take special care to watch out for the young ghosts and goblins. They may be too excited to watch out for you. The state health department feels that, if all these precautions are followed, your Halloween will be an evening of fun and not end in tragedy. Improved Delivery Unemployment insurance claims will be processed more quickly and accurately in Illinois with the help of 480 computer terminals which will also save the state an expected $2.1 million. Officials of the Illinois Department of Ad­ ministrative Services and Bureau of . Employment Security recently announced the purchase of the new automatic data processing terminals. The new equipment was purchased as part of the state's long-range plan for improvement in delivery of unemployment services. • * • • Never try to appear smart; put your energy into being smart. > it; •«< *.» ' Culture, when you boil it down, is the art of being unselfish some of your time. There are several ways producers can keep insects out of stored grains, says Steve Moore, University of Illinois Extension entomologist. Bins, cribs, and grain han­ dling equipment should be cleaned before harvest begins, he suggests. Old grain around, in, and under the bin should be swept away. The first two or three bushels of grain from the combine can be fed to livestock or discarded. Producers should spray all inside surfaces of the bin with a water-base malathion spray. Mix three ounces of the 50-57 percent malathion liquid concentrate in a gallon of water. Apply the spray until it begins to run off. Shelled corn or wheat that is in storage for a month or more between May and October should be treated with malathion spray as it goes into the bin, Moore advises. Mix a pint of 50-57 percent malathion liquid concentrate in three to five gallons of water and spray as uniformly as possible as the grain is augered into the bin. Then cap it, by applying another light spray over the surface after the grain is binned. Producers should also hang a dichlorvos plastic resin strip (DDVP) above the grain, using one strip for every 1,000 cubic feet of airspace. The strips should be replaced every six weeks. They are not effective in wooden open top bins, large shjeds qr where there is forced air ventilation, Moore adds. The strip prevents Indian meal moth infestions. The meal moth is resistant to malathion. Moore says that the stored ' McHENRY 5017 W. Route 120 815-3441010 LAKE ZURICH 78 S.

Her stand against additives in peanut butter led to the Supreme Court of the United States telling manufacturers of the spread that it couldn't swallow their arguments. Dubbed "Peanut Butter Grandma," Mrs. Desmond is more generally known as the president of the Federation of Homemakers. Commenting on her first big victory, she said, "It seems like a simple request, to ask that peanut butter be made from peanuts." Wrote the Washington Star, "In the history of consumer advocacy, few crusaders can boast so satisfying a victory over cor­ porate greed as that just achieved by Ruth Desmond..." Her second crusade was just as successful. This time it was hot dogs. The justices in the Court of Appeals, she said, "with good common sen­ se...reasoned that if you called a product 'all meat' it should be indeed 'all meat.' " Mrs. Desmond began her battle for pure food when her husband, since recovered, learned he had cancer of the bladder. In her reading on cancer, she learned about the factor of food additives, started going to Congressional com­ mittee hearings, and then called on her neighbors in Arlington, Va. They formed the Federation. All were convinced that until we learn more, "it is best to eat natural, pure foods. Says its enthusiastic founder, "We now have about 7,000 members throughout the United States." The organization took on the manufacturers of cyclamates, later banned. Then they joined those supporting food sup­ plement legislation - and won again. Their current concern is that fake foods be labeled as such. God gave us common sense, a simple tool • but powerful. It's up to us to use it.
