Thompson signed legislation to increase the state's power to regulate hazardous wastes and to spur efforts by industry to dispose of its own dangerous and deadly by-products. FORM AGRICULTURE DISTRICT Petitions to enable a farmer, or a group of far­ mers, to form an Agriculture district are available at the McHenry County Farm Bureau. Richard Klemm, chairman of the McHenry County Board, said he will appoint the committee needed to accept the petitions and help farmers establish districts of 500 acres or more. An Agriculture district will enable farmers to continue farming the land for 10 years, and at the end of that period, the Agriculture district will be reviewed by the committee. Purpose of the Agriculture district is to encourage farmers to preserve vital land for farming, and at the same time reduce the pressure of ever-increasing taxes. Plans for the sixth annual National Handicapped Awareness Week, Oct. 12-18, were announced by Catherine Gurgone, of the Easter Seal Society for McHenry County. The objective of the week's activities, according to Gurgone, is to increase public understanding of the needs and rights of people with disabilities. "Awareness of the en­ vironmental and attitudinal barriers which confront persons with disabilities is the key step in bringing about changes so that they can have full access to our society, maximum in­ dependence and the op­ portunity to develop and use their full capabilities." Gurgone said. Events scheduled in McHenry County include: On Oct. 12 and 13 Y.E.S. (Youth for Easter Seals) will be "ticketing" cars at the Crystal Point Mall that are parked in handicapped parking spots. The "tickets" are not really tickets but reminders that the spots are provided for individuals whose physical disabilities make their use a necessity, and request those using the parking spots to refrain from doing so. On Oct. 14, in support of Handicapped Awareness Week McHenry County Comprehensive Mental Health Service System will have a consciousness raising and awareness workshop for systems staff. Selected staff members will be asked to spend half the day in a wheelchair doing their daily routines as well as assigned tasks. It is hoped that the staff of these mental health agencies will gain a greater appreci the acute difficulties in­ volved in performing even the simplest task of those handicapped individuals in our community. An Eagle Scout group based in Crystal Lake will be surveying'the polling places in McHenry county to see which are accessible to the handicapped. This activity will begin during Han­ dicapped Awareness week and continue to its com­ pletion. Gurgone added, "We're looking forward to com­ munity support and awareness for the disabled of McHenry county. Working together, we can make certain that the 1960's will be the decade in which the handicapped will at last enter and merge completely with mainstream of American life." The world more fre­ quently recompenses the appearance of merit than merit itself. La Rochefoucauld American Legion Post 491 - RINGW00D ROAD.

Yield reductions of up to 50 percent occured if the same wilting treatment came at the end of the pollination period. Four days of wilting FRIDAY. OCTOBElt 10, 1#80 when grain was in the soft dough stage will caused a 40 percent yield reduction Irrigation is. of course, one way to assure water availability when it is needed Other corn culture practices that can be of benefit include early planting, good weed and insect control, optimum plant population, and adequate soil fertility Water Is Main Factor In Optimum Yields If you rank ail the factors that affect corn production according to importance, water has to head the list Water, too much or too. little (or both), has more in­ fluence on the amount of corn harvested than any other one thing. Total water required for a successful corn crop varies from season to season and from area to area. Crops growing where seasons are long, relative humidity is low, or temperatures are high use more water than if humidity is high, tem­ peratures are lower, or the season is short. Efficiency of moisture use by corn plants varies somewhat by hybrid but is more dependent on growing conditions and fertility level. In an irrigation- study in northwest Kansas, Kansas State university found that it look 235 pounds of water to produce one pound of corn dry matter under optimum fertility, but 435 pounds were required when fertility was inadequate. That's a 45 percent improvement in water use efficiency through proper fertilizer use. Corn Bell studies show that an inch of water will produce from about four bushels to over 12 bushels of corn grain per acre. If corn is properly fed. protected from pests, and given good overall management, it is reasonable to expect seven to ten buptels of grain per inch of water used Water use rate varies during the season During the first 45 days when plants are growing to waist high, water consumption in­ creases from essentially zero to about 0.15 inch per day Then, during the rapid plant growth stage, moisture demand increases sharply to a maximum of about 0.35 inch per day during the pollination^ period. Under hot, low humidity conditions, this maximum has been reported to be as much as half an inch per day. Moisture demand tapers off alter pollination and is down to roughly 0.65 inch per day when grain reaches physiologic maturity. Any time these moisture demands cannot be met, plants (and their potential productivity) suffer. With corn, the most critical growth stage is from a few days prior to tasseling to a few days after pollination is completed. This is a lime of extreme demand for both water and nutrients. Iowa State university Dorian Duo Performs At CounTy College The public is invited/to a free evening of classical music performed byl the Dorian Duo accompanial by Barbara Crooks-Enders* The performance will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 15, at 8 p.m in the college lounge at McHenry County College.
