2 V rE X F1.AIXDKALER - FRIDAY, APRIL 27,1979 GARDEN-SIZE SUNFLOWER Fluffy double-flowered sunflowers There's no need to exile sunflowers to the vegetable garden because of their huge size. Now you can enjoy handsome double-flowered yellow sun­ flowers such as these in your flower garden. The compact plants grow no higher than cleome, cosmos or giant-zinnias and the blossoms are the right size for large arrangements. The dwarf double-flowered varieties are unmistakably sun­ flowers, but have been scaled down so carefully that all the elements of the plants are in pleasing proportion. Seeds are small and are relished by wild birds.

The best kind of day for the hitter, or slugger, in baseball, is the warm, clear day, when the air is light, or when the wind is blowing from the homeplate to the outfield. This weather produces excellent vision, light air, with no handi­ cap of a headwind for the ball being hit. Since warm air is lighter than cold air, a ball will travel just a little further in warm clear air. The batter's vision is best on a clear day. On the other hand, the best weather for a pitcher is a cold, dark day, with the wind blowing from outfield to homeplate. In such weather the bat­ ter's vision will be more re­ stricted, the air will be just a little heavier, and the ball will not travel as far when hit, and the wind will also check its flight. A combination of these factors can often be important in a baseball game, although any one of them (with the exception of a strong wind) is not overly important. Look but do not touch. Eye* open and ear* up indicate that this young rabbit ii old enough to take care of himself.

Young cottontail rabbits are among the most numerous wildlife babies in McHenry county, and because the cot­ tontail has adapted well to living with man, they are often made orphans needlessly. The McHenry County Conservation d i s t r i c t ' s W i l d l i f e Rehabilitation committee asks that if a rabbit nest is found, it be left undisturbed and children be discouraged from touching the nest or its inhabitants. The first litters of the year are born in early spring in inconspicuous nests placed in small depressions in the ground.

The nest and young are covered with a layer of fur pulled from the female's body and dried grass. The female rabbit depends upon good camouflage to protect her young during the day and she returns to feed her young only at night. The first warm days of spring that allow gardening and yard work turn up many cottontail nests. When a nest is raked or plowed up, the committee asks that the young rabbits not be touched by humans unless obviously injured. They should be gently nudged back into the nest using a stick or other item that does not smell of humans and covered again. Touching the young rabbits or the nesting material almost will assure rejection by the female or death by predators. If left in the nest, the young may be moved by the female during the night to another nest in an un­ disturbed location. If they are not moved, the area should not be disturbed until the young rabbits leave. At birth the nearly naked young rabbits have their eyes and ears closed and weigh only one ounce. A week later, they are completely furred, their eyes and ears are open and they are able to hop about. They leave the nest at approximately two weeks of age, but may return to it occasionally. The young rabbits continue to nurse, but after a few days, they become independent of the female. Cottontail rabbits are fond of the habitat provided h- backyards and the develop­ ment of subdivisions where they may become a problem. They enjoy eating the short grass of lawns and find suitable cover in the evergreens and yews that are used for land­ scaping. Rabbit damage in vegetable and flower gardens may be deterred by hanging small pieces of tinfoil or white cloth on string surrounding the garden. Bloodmeal sprinkled around the plants to be protected has worked in some cases. Often supplementary food such as apple tree prunings, alfalfa, soybeans or waste corn will keep rabbits from nibbling on orchard trees or garden plants. The best measure for con­ trolling damage is to place rabbit proof wire around in­ dividual trees, gardens or orchards. Cottontail rabbits are a staple in the diet of many predators and thus help to reduce predatory pressure on less common wildlife species and livestock. They are an important link in the food chain of life because they convert plant food into animal matter. The Wildlife Rehabilitation committee also reminds people that, like most wildlife, cot­ tontail rabbits are illegal to keep as pets. They are most difficult to raise in captivity as they often die of shock when caged or handled, and they seldom become tame. Anyone who finds a wild animal or bird in need of help should contact Sally Joosten, director of Wildlife Rehabilitation at 338-3276. The World Of Commodities A Weekly Fundomentol Report Grains: Soybean Acreage At 68.8 Million Acres. OnApril 16, the USDA released its April Prospective Plantings Report, based on producer intentions as of April 1. The report indicated soybean plantings at 68.8 million acres versus 64.0 last year and 66.3 in the January intentions report. Based on historical precedent, the potential exists for a further increase in soybean acreage from that indicated in the April Prospective Plantings Report. On the surface, the potential increase in soybean acreage would appear to provide a negative outlook for soybean prices in the months ahead. With the record demand base established for beans in the 1978-79 crop year and the old crop supply situation relatively tight, new crop futures should be highly sensitive to unfavorable conditions in the 1179 growing season in spite of the substantial increase in acreage intentions. In Brazilian oil developments, cumulative exports in the six-week period ending April 15 were 115 thousand tonnes compared 57.3 in the same period last year. The increase comes in spite of a late harvest in Rio Grande do Sul.On April 23, the USDA Stocks in All Positions Report showed stocks near 875 million bushels. Stocks higher than 885 would be considered bearish. Stocks below 864 could be considered bullish. We are currently standing aside from net positions in the soybean complex. Com Acreage Projects To Decline. The corn market traded sidewise to higher as export business, high feed demand and prospects for reduced production in 1979 supported prices. On April 16 the USDA released its April Prospective Planting Report which indicated that, as of April, farmers intended to plant 79.2 million acres to corn compared to plans for 80.6 in January and 1978 acreage at 79.7. In other developments, we expect the April i Stocks in All Positions Report to show corn stocks at 4375-4425 million bushels compared to 6197 in January and 3877 a year ago. We continue to favor long corn-short wheat spreads as the best means of trading the corn market at the current time. Livestock-Guttle On Feed Report In Line With Expectation. The recent sharp recovery in cattle futures prices persisted into midweek. A continued low level of slaughter combined with strength in wholesale values were primarily responsible. Cattle prices have risen substantially over the past few months, primarily as a result of the significant decline in beef supplies. While much of the reduction in beef supplies is a result of the sharp downturn in non-fed slaughter, fed cattle slaughter averaged very near last year's levels in the January-March period. Nonfed slaughter was down 43 percent from a year earlier. The Cattle on Feed report confirmed the continued reduction in feedlot inventories. Total numbers on feed were down 6 percent. Fed cattlfe marketings in the 23 states were reported at 6.77 million head, about equal to last year's levels. We prefer trading the cattle market from the long side. We suggest buying June cattle on sharp reactions. Fibers: Cotton Acreage Intentions Up. The cotton market broke sharply after the USDA issued its April Prospective Plantings report Monday. The report indicated that farmers plan to plant 14.4 million acres of cotton compared to 13.4 in 1978 and January intentions to plant 14.1 million acres. The largest expansion of acreage is expected in Texas. Southwest farmers intend to plant 600,000 more acres of cotton this year than they did in 1978. Unless weather conditions are adverse for cotton production this spring and summer, the increase in acreage could continue to weigh on cotton prices. Current weather conditions may support cotton prices, as a wet spring had delayed fieldwork in the Delta and could create a situation similiar to 1973. If current weather condition continue cotton prices could work higher in expectation of reduced 1979 production. We suggest waiting for a technical signal that the market has established a base before establishing long positons. iir. John S.
