The Alliance church, 3815 Bull Valley road, McHenry, present the Rev. and Mrs. Carl Plug in the evening service Sunday, July 1, at 7 p.m. The message of redemption and salvation is vividly por trayed in a very unique and beautiful way. They will be presenting the gospel in floral arrangements and lights. There will be 12 different floral arrangements shown, with various lighting effects, and the gospel will be presented within this unusual way. Pastor Gerald Robertson invites the community to come and see this new way of hearing and seeing the message of Christ presented. Mr. Robertson also would like to invite the public to this evening's concert of "The Fullness of Joy", a group of young people from St. Paul Bible college, whose singing ability is described as "a great blessings to any who have heard them". A church spokesman said many new families have been coming to the Alliance church and finding this friendly, gospel preaching church a blessing in their lives.

CETA Abuse Reports A post office box is now being utilized for receiving con fidential citizen reports of suspected fraud or abuse in CETA funded programs in Illinois, according to the Governor's Office of Manpower and Human Development (GOMHD). Manpower Director Robert P. Goss said only one person will have a key to the post office box to insure con fidentiality of reports, and that all reports will be thoroughly investigated. Information on suspected abuse may be sub mitted to GOMHD, Division of Field Audit and Monitoring, P.O. Box 699, Springfield 62705 Moraine Hills State Park in McHenry county is the site of a recently initiated long-term experiment in biological control of the noxious musk thistle. The popular northeastern Illinois park fi one of five sites in Illinois where the Illinois Departments of Agriculture and Conservation released a weevil known as Rhynocyllus Conicus, which feeds upon the thistle seeds. The insects were released on a two-acre patch at the north end of Moraine Hills in an area overgrown with the thistle. Other experimental sites are in Fulton, Mercer, Marion, Madison, and Union counties. Between 400 and 500 of the insects were released at each experimental site early this month, said Norm Seaborg, an entymologist with the Illinois Department of Agriculture. "We're hoping to reduce the use of pesticides by using this method," Seaborg said of the biological control. Musk thistle is one of seven noxious weeds designated by state law because of their ability to cause heavy economic losses to farmers. Also known as nodding thistle, the weed is a biennial and a very prolific seed producer. It is particularly troublesome in small grain crop and pastured lands, Seaborg said, and its lavender blooms quickly spring up on previously cultivated land that is allowed to become dormant. "Cows won't touch the stuff," he said. Many state parks and con servation areas are reclaimed farm land where the thistle finds it easy to grow. This causes eradication problems in areas of frequent public use and in buffer zones to rare natural areas.

Department of Conservation properties were ideal for the experiment, Harty said, because they are unlikely to be cultivated over the next several years, making it easier to determine how effective the weevils are at holding back the thistle population. The weevil seems a perfect candidate for a biological control mechanism, Harty said, because it lives entirely off of thistle seeds. Since the musk thistle is the primary host of the Rhynocyllus weevil, when musk thistle populations drop, so then do weevil populations. The insect can survive, however, on the smaller seed heads of the Canadian thistle, another noxious weed. To the layman, the weevil looks like any number of rather non-descript green-black bugs, about V' long and wide, Seaborg said. As in any biological control, complete eradication of the thistle will not result. Also like most biological controls a strong infestation of the pest is needed before the controlling agent can be • used, said Department of Agriculture plant and pesticide specialist Phil Miatke, who has witnessed what he termed a "fairly dramatic increase" in musk thistle in many areas of Illinois since 1972. In Montana, where the weevils have been living off musk thistle since 1969, they have proven 90 percent ef fective in controlling the weed. The weevil has also been in troduced in Virginia, Wisconsin and Indiana, Miatke said Eventually, without Illinois' introduction of the weevil, it might have spread from these other states. Miatke flew to Bozeman, Mont., and collected by hand the 2,900 weevils that were released on the experimental sites in Illinois. Both the thistle and weevil LUNCH & SERVING ALL U.S .D.A.
