Wbyne Fowler Agronomic Education Director Associated MOW Producers Incorporated »AMPI) cor­ porate vice-president Bill Lenschow said at a press luncheon in Woodstock, that the dairy industry intends to have a voice in the decision-making process. He attacked the current m u l t i - n a t i o n a l t r a d e negotiations saying that the "dairy industry needs dairy imports like the Arabs need oil." Lenschow said that he is not advocating cutting off imports. "We need imports, but we need fair.imports," Lenschow said. We can compete with any country in the world and have a lesser cost of production, he said. Lenschow said that 99 per­ cent of the non-dairy creamers found on almost all restaurant tables are a homogenized, pasteurized blend of water and sodium caseinate. No casein is produced in the U.S., according to Lenschow. It circumvents import quotas because it is imported for the production of glue and plastics, and this hurts the dairy industry, he said. 'We cannot let other coun­ tries use the U.S. as a dumping ground for products directly subsidized by the govern­ ment," he said. Lenschow said that the U.S. imports 200 million pounds of cheese a year-close to one pound per person-and exports virtually nothing. He said that other govern­ ments subsidize their dairy industries, not because of money, but because of soil conservation. "No matter how you practice soil conservation, the dairy industry uses more legumes, alfalfa and hay, which keeps the topsoil on top and not at the bottom of a river where it costs thousands of dollars to dig it out again," he said. Lenschow said that he is not asking for direct subsidy from the government, but, that the government act as a stabilizer. "Price supports are often misconstrued by the public as direct payments to the farmer. They're not," he said.

Jim and Shirley Book and their sons, Mike, Randy, Ken and Dale farm 2,000 acres growing mainly corn and soybeans. They also feed about 1,700 beef animals to market weight each year. The Book family has farmed in McHenry county since Jim's parents, Ed and Mary moved here in 1921 from Naperville. Lawrence and Ruth Johnson operate a 600 acre dairy farm in partnership with their son Steve and his wife Chela. One- hundred fifteen dairy cattle are milked each day in their newly rebuilt 200 cow confinement- free-stall barn. A February, 1978 fire destroyed their dairy buildings, but they have rebuilt and the new barn is an ultra modern dairy facility. The Johnson farm operation also has a 70 plus swine herd and 8 acres of vegetables. Lawrence Johnson's father and grand­ father both farmed here in McHenry county also. Directions can be received by calling my office, the McHenry County Extension service at 338-3737 or writing to us at P.O. Box 431, Woodstock, 111., 60098. We are sponsoring the Farm Visit Day with the Book and Johnson families. 1-4 p.m. are the visit day hours. Alfalfa Insects • Alfalfa weevil, spittlebug, and potato leafhoppers are all potential problems for us in McHenry county. The adult weevil and the weevil larvae will probably best be controlled by cutting the hay. Be sure to bold off 7 days if you do treat. Watch the new growth if you do not treat. The meadow spittlebug may be causing a problem also. The spittlebug young (nymphs) are yellow to orange. These young cause the damage. One nymph per plant warrants a control application of Guthion or Malathion. Potato leafhopper is best controlled when second crop growth is 4 to 6 inches high or as needed. The leafhopper migrates to Illinois each spring. It builds up its numbers during the late part of the first crop. The damage shows up as a yellowing of the plant. The plants will be stunted and yields will be decreased. Protein and vitamin A levels are decreased. New Office - The Farm Bureau's $15,000 is being matched by your contributions.

Garden Talk - "Garden Talk" is aired on WGN Channel 9 on Tuesday between 5:55 and 6:25 a.m. and also on WTVO Channel 17 at . 7:25 a.m. on Thursday Topics to be discussed by U of I Extension specialist during June are as follows: week of June 4 - Garden Care, week of June 11 - Rose Diseases, week of June 18 - Vacation Care of House Plants, week of June 18 - Asparagus. Tree Problems Starling Now - I recently consulted with Jim Fizzell. U of I horticulturist in Cook' Co.. to find out al>out some of the tree problems that are beginning to show locally. On crabapples, says Fizzell, the recent moist weather has caused the start of a severe apple scab infection on susceptible varieties. The disease starts out as olive- green spots on the leaves, which eventually turn brown and fall off the tree. Susceptible crabapple varieties and backyard fruit trees should be protected by spraying every 7 to 10 days with Benlate, Cyprex, or Polyram fungicides. Nearly all trees and many shrubs are subject to attack by inchworm (cankerworm ). These creatures are very tiny now, one-fourth to one-third inch long, but in the next 4 weeks will grow rapidly, devouring all but the veins of leaves In areas where there is a history of cankerworms, plants should be protected by spraying now with the bacterial agent Bacillus thuringensis, or with Sevin Gardeners with purple leaf plum, peach, or white birch in their yards need to protect these trees from borer attack. Oozing sap on plums and peaches, or dying back of birch branches are evidence of in­ festation which, unchecked, will kill the plants. Spray birch now, recom­ mends Fizzell, with dimethoate (Cygon) and repeat in 3 weeks. Cover the foliage, trunk, and branches thoroughly. Plum and Peach should be sprayed with Dursban or Sevin about June 10, and again in 3 to 4 weeks to cover the branches and trunk. These recommended spray materials are safe if used carefully according to direc­ tions. Read and follow carefully the directions on the label. Livestock and Horse Judging.- 4-H Youth should remember to attend the June 9 Livestock and Horse Judging contest. Livestock means beef, sheep and swine It will be a very good experience for youth and adults. It will start at 9 a.m. and should conclude by 1 p.m. Bring a lunch, you'll have tiitre to eat between the judging and the time the official placings are given. Coal Output Brad Evilsizer, Director of the Illinois Department of Mines and Minerals last week announced that almost 5 million tons of coal were mined in the state in April Since the beginning of the 1979 calendar year, Evilsizer said, a total of nearly 19 million tons were mined Counties which led in coal production in April. 1979, were Perry county with 693,188 tons, Franklin county with 555,039 tons, and Randolph county which mined 537 , 941 tons Evilsizer also pointed out there were no fatal mine ac cidents through April this year The price support is an established level that the price can drop to, never a direct payment, he said. Lenschow also said that he would like to see the govern­ ment buy surplus milk and resell it in times of shortage. During the fall and winter, times of low milk production, the consumption is greater because children are in school and basically follow regular eating patterns. In spring and summer, when milk production is up, the children are not in school and the consumption drops, he said. One problem that faces the farmer, Lenschow emphasized, is just what is the dairy far­ mer's obhgation. Should he work and try to get by on about $8,000 a year and not send his children to college, or should he sell the farm for a million-and- a-half and send the kids to school? Lenschow said that a year's work will not even generate the interest from the sale price. This is evident in McHenry county which dropped from the number one dairy producing county in the state to fourth at the present time, according to Lenschow. Probably the biggest problem facing the dairy in­ dustry is that many farmers do not realize that whatever happens elsewhere, trade agreements for example, directly affect the Illinois dairy farmer, and farmers everywhere, he said. "You can't be confined to the four walls around you," Len­ schow said. The se'crets of the im­ measurable past, In the unfailing con­ sciences of men. -P. B. Shelley.
