Harvest by cubing or snapping when the spears are five to eight inches in length and Vfe inch thick at the base. Cut the spears just under the ground where the spear has emerged. Be careful and do not cut lip not yet emerged. To snap asparagus, bend it from the top toward the ground. The spear will break at the point where there is no fiber. Use Starter Fertilizer On Transplants-Get your vegetable transplants off to a] fast start with a good sBarter fertilizer.; _ /Use a fertilizer high in phosphorus and completely soluble in water, such as 10- 52-17. Mix about two tablespoons ot the water-soluble.,, fer- tilizer in a gallon of water -and place one cup of the .solution around the roots of each transplant. Water-soluble fertilizers have greater initial availability and contain lower levels of harmful saltan Supplemental phosphorus is essential for root development'of transplants when they are moved to cool soils.

(Town and Country Tips By Dave Plocher) s By Dave Plocher, Extension Adviser, Agriculture, Forage Exd^'80 is set for July 1 at I^nark in Nor thwestern jni. It will be the "first and biggest" display of forage handling, har vesting equipment, livestock facilities and supplies in northern Illinois. The Expo will span three adjacent Carroll county livestock farms, all specializing in conservation farming. Machinery on hand will include a direct-seeding machine from Ireland, designed especially for planting crops in untitled soil. Also operating in the fields will be circular blade mowers. A super-sized baler and a bale compactor that squeezes two ordinary bales into a high-density package also may be demonstrated. Many more exhibitors are expected to bring equip ment. Waste management and soil conservation practices will be incorporated into the presentations and demon strations. Organizers hope to include a demonstration of how alcohol can be made from forage while leaving much^f the alfalfa's feed value for livestock use. The farms are located about two miles north of Lanark on Illinois Route 73. Two air strips, east and west of the farms, will be marked to be visible from the air. Contact for more in- formatioi Wheat Outlook - "The large wheat crop expected this year suggest that the carryover stocks of wheat will increase," according to Darrell Good, University of Illinois Extension specialist, "prices and outlook, unless export demand is significantly greater than during the past year. Export demand, in turn, depends on the size of the crops of wheat. and coarse grains in the rest of the world. Right now, the world winter wheat crop looks good, the spring crop is being hampered by dry weather in North America and by delayed seeding in Russia. As a result of the concerns about the spring wheat crop, prices have increased sharply recently. The Illinois wheat crop is progressing very well. In view of the large crop coming up, the current prices of wheat are high and cannot be expected to remain there. So, a prudent marketing strategy would be to sell some new- crop wheat now." Keep Livestock Cool With Insulation-Most livestock shelters used the year around can benefit from roof or ceiling insulation. On a hot day, livestock shelters covered only with a metal roof can become very warm inside. An insulated roof acts as a shade, keeping the shelter cooler than a bare metal roof can. According to agriculture engineers, you should in sulate to a minimum R value - the material's resistance to heat flow - of 4 to 6. It takes a minimum of 2.inches of batt insulation, or its equivalent, to meet the R value. Be sure to use a vapor barrier to protect the in sulation from moisture. A wall lining also would protect the insulation from rodents and mechanical damage. Swine Facts-Illinois is the second largest swine- producing state in the nation. Illinois produces 10- 12 million market hogs each year - 12 percent of the nation's total. One serving of just Vh ounces of cooked lean pork supplies over half the protein and only 9 percent of the calories that an adult needs daily. Six pork cuts including sirloin roast, loin chops, fresh picnic shoulder, fresh ham, tenderloin, and cured and smoked ham - each contain fewer than 250 calories in a 3'^-ounce servine. By-products from hogs play a vital role in maintaining and improving the quality of human life. Insulin from hogs is used in the treatment of diabetes. Hog heart valves are used to replace damaged or diseased human heart valves. Skin from hogs is used to treat severe burn victims. Other items, from hair brushes to phonograph records to ball bearings, are made from hog by-products. High land values, en vironmental problems and the need for efficient management have spurred the movement of the swine industry to raising hogs in confinement, requiring high capital investment and technologically soph isticated management. Grain Drying Handbook- Drying costs of corn are going to be a continuing damper to possible farm profits. Low temperature and solar grain drying are methods that can cut these costs. Agriculture engineers from around the midwest have published a handbook on this topic. It discusses the fundamentals ofv low temperature and solar drying^ The handbook in cludes plans for portable and permanent solar collectors. It also has solar radiation tables for different areas of the county. This 86-page Handbook, MWPS-22, is available from our office at 789 McHenry avenue, P.O. Box 431, Woodstock, 111., 60098. Plant Asparagus For Long Term Gardens-Establishing a good asparagus bed requires work, but a well cared bed will last 20 to 30 years. One-year-old crowns or asparagus plants should be planted as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring/ However, it is not too late to plant asparagus, but do so before the ground gets too warm. Because asparagus beds last for many years, plant crowns at the side or end of the vegetable garden where they will not be disturbed by normal cultivation. Crowns should be planted in a trench 12 to 18 inches wide and 6 to 8 inches deep. Place each crown 9 to 12 inches apart. Spread roots out uniformly and (dace buds in an upright position. Cover the crowns with two inches of soil. Then gradually All in the trench during the summer. A little well-rotted manure or compost may be worked into the bottom of the trench before planting, or mixed into the soil when filling the trench. Caring For Asparagus- Annual fertilization of new asparagus is good. In the spring, apply 10-10-10 or 12- 12-12 at the rate of 20 to 25 pounds per 1,000 square feet and incorporate fertilizer into the soil. In the fourth year, delay fertilizer ap plication until after the final harvest. Yes, you should wait to harvest asparagus until the third year after planting.
