SECTION 2-I>A<;K.V- PI.A1NDKAI.KR FRIDAY, APRII. 2U. 1979 Town-Country Tips hy Oovid Piochar, 'V "17 Wet Weather lips - One weather prediction source indicates April rainfall will be 150 percent of normal for Northern Illinois. I suggest you begin to consider time saving ideas to consider as a part of your spring planting procedure. You can be sure to have all equipment in shape as a first thing. Also consider how you can make fewer trips over the fields. Also dry or non- pressurized nitrogen sources can go on wetter soils sooner than anhydrous ammonia, but check with your supplier on availability of the materials. If you are considering side dressing nitrogen you should again check with your supplier. New Weed - This is all we need. A new weed problem with no ready "club" to control it in row crops. Wild proso millet now infests over 300,000 acres in Wisconsin alone. The map I recently saw puts it in southern Wisconsin counties on the other side of the McHenry county fence. It is an annual grass that develops from seed. It produces a large bushy seedhead much like fall panicum and wit- chgrass. Wild proso millet grows fast, is drought tolerant, and its seeds survive over- watering. Pesticide Exposure - Now is the time to review necessary safety precautions to avoid exposure to pesticides. Pesticide users can be ex­ posed three ways: contact with the skin, inhalation and ingestion. To avoid pesticide contact with the skin, wear a long- sleeved shirt, long-legged pants, shoes, socks and a hat. When handling concentrated or highly toxic pesticides, you need added safety equipment such as eye goggles, rubber gloves, rubber boots and a rubber apron. Good ventilation while mixing or loading pesticides will prevent inhalation Extension Service 338-4747 / problems. And if a pesticide label says a respirator is needed, do as it says. To avoid accidental ingestion, wash your hands thoroughly before eating or smoking. Pesticide residue on your hands can be transferred to food, then swallowed. Don't forget, read the label, it is your pesticide safety bible. Carrot harvesting - I talked with a gardener from Cary the other day who was just picking her carrots from the garden. She was very lucky to have carrots actually. It is a recommended practice to cover carrots. turnips, rutabaga's and parsnips with straw and leave them in the garden over winter. This particular gardener didn't get the straw on though. The early snow and large amounts in addition to its early covering and no frost kept her carrots "cool and crisp" she explained. Pesticide - Chemical Dealers - The number of restricted-use pesticides is relatively small at the present, but more will likely be added in the future. Dealers handling restricted- use pesticides must be sure they sell only to certified ap­ plicators. To protect both the dealer and applicator, dealers are required to record the applicators' certification numbers on the sales invoice. This sales record must then be kept for two years and be available for auditing by the Illinois Department of Agriculture or the Illinois Department of Public Health Many dealers are now setting up a record system which will list certified applicator's name and address, certifications number and license expiration date. This system will allow applicators, once they have provided their dealer with the needed information, to place a telephone order for a restricted use pesticide and have it delivered or picked up by a family member or employee It's important that both buyers and sellers of restricted- use pesticides be aware of their legal responsibilities. For more information, give me a call, (iarden Talk - Garden talk topics for the remainder of April include rhubarb, lawn weed control, soil preparation, and tomatoes. Locally garden talk is aired on WTVO channel 17, Rockford at 7:25 a.m. and WGN channel 9. Chicago at 5:55-6:25 a.m. Light For Seedlings Fluorescent light best for seedling plants. Most of you serious gardeners are already planning and planting for the upcoming season. Those of you who grow your own plants always encounter the problem of finding a place with enough light. Recent studies by the ornamentals laboratory of the USr ' has shed some light on he question of what kind and l ow much The studies suggest that fluorescent light regardless of color or type does a better job of producing healthy plants, at lower operating cost, than incandescent plant growth lights. Petunias were selected for their fast growing habits, when grown under fluorescent lights looked like those grown under greenhouse conditions. They were compact and luxuriant, with deep green foliage. Plants grown under incandescent lights differed somewhat, depending on the kind of light used, but all of them tended to be long and stringy The lights tested included a fluorescent type that sells for about $15 and three in­ candescent types. These latter included a floor lamp that sells for about $2; a special "growth" lamp that 's basically the same but sells for about $5; and a "cool" lamp, with an internal filter and selling for $8 to $10. Fluorescent fixtures are available at most hardware and department stores. Sixteen to eighteen hours of light daily is sufficient Audubon Sets First Spring Walk The McHenry county chapter of Audubon invites the public to attend its first walk of the Spring (an earlier one in March having been snowed out!) at Trout park in Elgin April 21. Troute park is a natural museum containing living memories of Illinois as it was five to ten thousand years ago. As the glaciers moved across the land, they changed Illinois into a northern forest When the glaciers receded, the vegetation changed except in those few unique places where conditions were right. Trout park is one of these places. Tucked behind a typical Elgin park baseball field is a ravine filled with some of the most unique plant life in Illinois. In the coolness, humidity and alkaline soil conditions of this area. White Cedar, a northern species still grows Skunk Cabbage, nature's earliest wildflower, covers the floor of the ravine This strangely beautiful plant has the ability to create its own heat and is often found pushing up through the snow Another early bloomer, llepatica. blankets the sides of Trout park. Geology buffs will be interested in the formations of tufa (too-fah) rock. The group will meet there at 8:45 a m.

UNSOLICITED SALES IN HOME CAN BE CANCELLED Even though you have signed on the "dotted line", unwanted purchases bought from a door to door salesperson in many cases can be cancelled. The Illinois Consumer Fraud act provides for the consumer's right to rescind a purchase made from a door to door salesperson. According to the Illinois State Bar association, the law provides that a buyer has three full business days in which to think over any such purchase, if the price is $25 or more. This is true whether you pay cash or arrange to pay in installments. Other important aspects of this "right to change your mind" are as follows: The three day period applies only when the sale results from a salesperson s direct call at your home without your having contacted him or her by any means. You must be advised in ad­ vance of the right to cancel. The seller must give you a written Notice of Cancellation stating that you may cancel the sale within three days and also explain where and how to give notice of such cancellation. The three day cancellation period does not start until the written put one on for the time of your life Prom time is a special time...and we want to help you make this the time of your life.

The seller is then obligated to return your money. In addition to providing the timely notice, you must of course be prepared to give back the goods in their original condition. Illinois law recognizes that some people are susceptible to a good sales pitch, but later find they have made a bad pur­ chasing decision The ISBA says the resorting to the can­ cellation clause is the second best solution. It is better to ask the salesperson to give you adequate time to make a wise decision before agreeing to purchase No Problem A newly wed found his wife in tears when he arrived home one evening.
