A small fee will be charged for the clinic. Interested girls should sign up prior to Satur­ day, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the West campus office. EARL WALSH' So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR. Now, hear this! That date we picked up for the annual Joe Frett Memorial Golf Day was wrong. The correct date is Friday, June 22nd. If you want to join the crowd (and who doesn't?), call Lloyd Freund - 385-1794. Between Jerry Wakitsch and Lloyd, they have us straight on the date of this important day. From way up in Michigan, our friend and loyal reader, Don Hoenes, sends a note. He didn't say we could print it. He didn't say we couldn't. So let 'er go! Dear Earl: After reading S.I.H., May 23rd, the article about who would become Mr. Slim, I turned back to the front page, the picture of A Gift To "Hie City, not much difference in the two viewing the progress. Bob does look a bit taller. Then comes the May 30th issue of the Plaindealer, just think you could have enjoyed the finesse of Don Kessinger for many years had you watched a different channel. I probably won't be the only one to remind you of this but you do give credit when credit is due. Sincerely, Don Hoenes Hi Don: You don't miss very much. I once referred to Bob as "Big Adams". He's still big, but (as you observed) has grown much taller since he doesn't have that load to carry around. The other Mr. Slim is Bob Shulda, probably not a McHenry resident when you pitched your tent along Fox River. Shulda was regarded as merely stout until he put on a basketball jersey. Wow! Yep. I certainly enjoy wat­ ching Don Kessinger play shortstop for the White Sox. The reason I didn't know about his kill is that our old Muntz TV set doesn't pick up that channel. Keep reading and writing, Don. S.I.H. Met Jim Hester coming out of church Sunday, looking husky and healthy. When the Hester boys were youngsters, thev had a basketball hoop fastened to the garage and you could hear the bounces winter and summer. They lived where Florence Roth now resides on Court Street. Those boys could shoot. It still brings a chuckle when I think of Jim in an important high school game when Cliff Fulton was his coach. The game was tied as time ran out, but Jim had two free throws coming. The first shot missed and Fulton looked like a basket case. Before the next shot, Jim walked over to his coach and said, "Don't worry, Coach." Back to the line and Jim sank his shot for a 1 - point Warrior victory. I saw the game and know the story is true. Cliff Fulton told it to me. That was a real surprise to see Paul and Nell Fidler and their family on the Family Feud TV program Friday night. REMEMBERING: The fellow who made the best home brew in probition days had a well worn path to his door -- and more friends then he ever knew. Whoops! That picture Don Hoenes referred to shows Fred Meyer standing beside "Slim" Adams. They seem to be contemplating a climb to the top of the Kiddie Slide. They didn't make it. m MINUTE SPORTS OUIZ 1.

Game of the Week will be the Rusty Nail - Old Bridge contest, presently the top two teams in the league. Game time is 6:15 p.m. I am sure some of you are wondering why certain ball players' names are not in­ cluded in the batting statistics this week. Steve Rohrer in­ dicates that for the present Old Bridge-John's Sport Stop policy will be refusal to turn in hits, RBI's, extra base hits, etc.!? One can only guess at the reasoning behind this policy. I would like to apologize for his action and hopefully he will change his mind in the future.

The reigning world champ, a gifted prince with a feathery touch, last year wafted his pasture pie a record 238 feet through he sky outside Great Falls, Mont. Mark King of Murphysboro presently holds the Illinois title, awarded when he flung his brittle bovine disc exactly 155.8 feet. No mere rookies, these chip chuckers. And if you want to observe what's fast becoming the slowest-growing sport in America, you can rub shoulders with the midwest's best chip flingers June 28-July 1 during the annual DuQuoin Farm and Folk festival. Held at the DuQuoin fairgrounds, the fest headlines the 1979 Illinois Cow Chip Tossing contest. Boasting an entry roster of nearly 200 tossers, this year's competition also includes a special politicians' division, according to fairgrounds officials. Contestants, both men and women, must be over 16 years old to enter. Chips are fur­ nished, and chuckers are allowed to toss three times for a fee. The winner qualifies for the world finals in Montana. The four-day fest highlights a full slate of entertainment, food, crafts, and agricultural events. The Miss DuQuoin State fair contest will be held 8 p.m. June 28; on Friday, an evening rock concert caps off a day of harness racing and an on-going livestock show that's scheduled through the weekend. US AC midget racing begins at 1 p.m. on Saturday and includes performances by top drivers on what is hailed as the world's fastest dirt track. There are two evening shows, at and 9 p.m. On Sunday, famous midwest heavies lurch and belch for the bleacher crowd during a 1 p.m. tractor pull championshp, at 8 p.m., the Country Music Hall of Fame show highlights fine entertainment. Summer skies get a nice final burst during a ending fireworks show. The Cow Chip Tossing contest will be held Sunday, July 1, at 10 a.m. near the north grand­ stand bleachers. Which brings up the question-where do they get all those chips? This year's search for official six-inch diameter chips nearly became impossible when it was found that the traditional local supply had dwindled. Forced to range outside the DuQuoin area for the required 500 chips, of­ ficials finally discovered a cache--near St. Louis.

Plocher, Ex­ tension adviser, Agriculture, McHenry county) Strawberry Harvest Is Late - We thought the cool late spring' had delayed bloom and slowed the berry growth. But, when I talked with John Heider of Heiders berry farm, Wood­ stock, he said they are right on schedule. Picking normally begins between the twelfth and seventeenth. The fifteenth is his predicted opening date this year. John Cheter of U-Pick- Em at Union told me some of his early varieties are already ripe. Many home strawberry patches and U-Pick fields are in good condition and, with good weather, berry quality and yield should be good. Consumers interested in picking their own can locate U- Pick farms in the 1979 You Pick Strawberries directory. This 18-page booklet identifies some of the farms in our area. The farms are listed by nearby towns with directions on how to reach each farm. A telephone number also is included. To insure that berries are available, it is advisable to telephone before visiting any of the farms. Picking hours vary and some farms are closed on Sunday. Copies of the directory are available from the McHenry County Extension Office by writing, P.O. Box 431, Wood­ stock, 111., 60098 or call 815-338- 3737 or 4747. No-Till Acres - I was with Ed Weilbacher, soil con­ servationist with SCS on Friday morning. We visited Mike Rowe's No-Till acreage to check for the possibility of insect problems. We found no problems of significance. The corn looks good, although it is not as tall as one might expect. The stand is also good. "Far­ mers using No-Till expect the corn to look behind, but in the end they say it often outyields conventionally tilled acres", according to Weilbacher. No-Till Tour - The DeKalb County Soil & Water Con­ servation district is sponsoring a No-Till tour on Friday, July 6. It will be from 1:30 p.m. to approximately 4 p.m. Give the ASCS, SCS or my office a call. If enough plan to go, a bus will be set up to leave from Woodstock. Prune Lilacs Now - Here are a few tips on pruning lilacs to encourage next year's blooms. The best time to prune lilac bushes is right after they have finished blooming. If lilacs are pruned in fall, winter or early spring, the future flowers for the next blooming season are destroyed. New lilac bushes don't have to be pruned until they are about three or four years old. After this, they should be pruned every year following flowering. To prune lilacs, remove one- third of the older wood. Flowers usually are produced only on newer, younger growth. Take this wood out by cutting it off at the soil line. A couple of errors are commonly made in lilac pruning. Either the lilac is pruned down to one or two main branches like a tree, or the whole plant has been allowed to grow into a thicket. Both result in an unproductive lilac bush with a reduced flowering potential. Tax School - Taxes have just been paid, but if you are in­ terested in learning the tax preparation trade you should be thinking about them soon. This year we will again offer a five day basic tax preparation school. The dates are Oct. 24, 26,29,31 and Nov. 2. The first 27 enrollees will be admitted to the school. Watering Your Garden - Before you start summer garden watering, remember this very important thing about water - 6,000 gallons of water on a 80'xl25' lot. Turn on your hose full force and it would take 24 hours to cover a 100'xl00' lot with one inch of water. When home gardeners water lightly and frequently, the garden plants receive little help. Most of the water will not reach the roots and is wasted through evaporation. In ad­ dition, light frequent watering encourages shallow rooting, increases disease problems and promotes the growth of weeds. If you decide to water your lawn and-or gardens (keep in mind that once you start-you should continue)...you should apply one inch of water per week. Put the water on before 3 p.m. so foliage will dry off before evening. This helps keep down disease problems. If it rains during the week - put on the difference, (i.e. rain one-third inch...water two- thirds inches, or rain one and one-third inches ...water 0). Postemergence Herbicides • Many of you are now being faced with the situation where a postemergence herbicide is needed. Here are some tips. Corn: Lasso plus atrazine and Lasso plus Banvel can be applied to corn that is three to five inches tall. Grass beyond the two-leaf stage will not be controlled. Preemergence application of the two mixtures is preferred to postemergence use. Banvel alone can also be applied on corn up to five in­ ches tall at a higher rate than the regular postemergence rate. TENNIS * * * By Pete Fritchie WASHINGTON, D.C. - There's so much professional tennis today, none of it means much-except the U.S. Open, Wimbledon, the Davis Cup and perhaps one or two other opens. Every week half a dozen tournaments are being played somewhere. With so many fat prizes available, top players are spread thin, and winning tournaments may or may not mean something. Golf has worked it out much better. The top players tour the nation week after week, in a series of tourna­ ments. The PGA tour group may be split into two next year. Still, that's an orderly system. Tennis is more inter­ national, and it's impractical to expect the world's top players to remain in the U.S. all year. But if the money's here, and it is, most of them would stay here much of the year. An American tour of one U.S. tennis tournament a weekend, in this country, would attract many of the best players in the world. Top U.S. players could, of course, enter several foreign events a year, as do U.S. golfers. The weekly tour would allow tennis fans to make some order out of the present chaos. But that ideal solution is, alas, some distance into the future because of the current mismash of teams, TV events, industry-sponsored matches, etc. Atrazine or Bladex can be applied as early post- emergence treatments to control annual grasses when they are less than one and one- half inches tall. Broadleaf weeds will be controlled up to four to five inches tall. The performance of atrazine is improved with the addition of a nonphytotoxic oil or an oil- surfactant mix. Do not apply atrazine after June 10 if you expect to plant soybeans next year. Bladex controls fall panicum better than atrazine. Do not use petroleum additives with Bladex as a postemergence spray and do not use Bladex 4L, since it is an oil-based suspension. Do not treat corn after the four-leaf stage with Bladex. 2,4-D and Banvel can be used to control broadleaf weeds in corn. Banvel controls smart- weed better than 2,4-D and has better crop tolerance; but 2, 4- D is cheaper, works better on velvetleaf, and is less likely than Banvel to cause drift in­ jury on soybeans. Banvel should be used on corn before the soybeans in the area are 10 inches high. Do not spray corn after it is 2 feet high if soybeans are grown in the area. Use drop nozzles if the corn is over 8 inches high. You should use drop nozzles with 2, 4-D when the corn is more than 8 inches high. If you direct the nozzles toward the row, be sure to adjust the rates so you do not overdose the corn. Corn is often brittle for 7 to 10 days after an application of 2, 4- D, so cultivation should be delayed. A mixture of 2, 4-D plus Banvel is more economical than a full rate of Banvel. The mixture may present less risk of corn injury than 2, 4-D alone. Corn or Soybeans: Basagran can be used to control broadleaf weeds and yellow nutsedge in corn or soybeans. Corn tolerates Basagran very well, even when an "oil concentrate" additive is employed. Basagran is used quite often by seed corn producers because of its ex­ cellent crop tolerance. Soybeans also tolerate Basagran very well, but the "oil concentrate" additive would be suggested only in certain situations, such as under drought conditions where temperatures are not over 85 degrees. The r»*e of use and weed size permitting control will depend on the weed species involved. if any "Pa, what's a sinking fund?" "A place, my son, where they hide the profits from the stockholders."
