Maraccini, acting county executive director of the county Agricultural Stabilization and Con­ servation Service, (ASCS) said. The ASCS disaster payment program covers crops affected by natural disasters such as strong winds, hail, heavy rains, or drought. To be eligible for disaster benefits, however, farmers must have filed an accurate acreage report and the county ASC committee must determine that the ction loss was caused the natural disaster. Payments are authorized for a farmer whose crop yield is less than 60 percent of the established yield for wheat and feed grains. "Payments are based on crop production losses below this percentage," Maraccini said. Farmers who store all or a part of their harvested crop on the farm must ha^e this production measured by ASCS before it is put to another use or commingled with production from another farm, she said. "Fanners who sell their production should identify their wheat and corn sales slips, by term, for provSn yields or proven production, and turn in their sups when harvest is over," the ASCS official said. If the crop is so poor that it will not be carried to harvest for grain, ASCS must ap­ praise the crop before its destruction or substitute use. Disaster claims must be filed within 15 days after harvest. gDUCATlONAL ColJeeeHonors Down Jaburek Graduate Of MacCdrmac Dawn Jaburek, 5406 W: *, Euclid drive, McHenry, graduated recently from.

For those of you who have just recovered from the stress of having Eastern tent caterpillar ip your trees this spring, it is time to start worrying again. Fall web­ worms are on the way. Fall webworms are yellow, fuzzy caterpillars that spin silken nests around leaves at the ends of bran­ ches. Each nest will contain hundreds of voracious caterpillars. As the web­ worms finish dining on the leaves encased in the web, they expand their next to include new food. The growing caterpillars will spread through the tree until early September, when they .pupate. Over 600 species of plants appeal to the webworm's ^non-discerning palate. In this area,. crabapple, white poplar, hickory, black walnut, American elm* plum, linden and white ash are prefered hosts. Fall webworm damage is not likely to kill a healthy tree, since the leaves produce most of the tree's food before webworm season starts. To prevent aesthetic damage, cotnrol measures are most effective now, while the caterpillars are young. On small trees, clip out and destroy the nests. Treat larger trees with Bacillus thuringiensis, which is sold as Dipel, Bactur, Thuricide, and BT-Sok. This bacterial insecticide will per&lyze the caterpillar's intestine end is not toxic to humans, bees, fish, birds and other loved ones. Other effective (but less safe) insecticides are malathion, diazinon, car- baryl (Sevin), and acephate (Orthene). When the actively growing caterpillars expand their nests over the treated leaves, they ingest the in­ secticide and die off. The insecticides will not penetrate the nests, so it is essential that the sprey be applied before the web­ worms near maturity.

State Coalition Urges Veto Of Pay Raise Commission Illinois The Coalition for Political Honesty has sent a letter to Gov. James Thompson urging him to veto a bill which would establish a special commission with the authority to raise the salaries of public officials without the General Assembly ever having to take a vote on the issue. "This bill is a sneaky and unconstitutional way for legislators to engineer pay raises for themselves that are totally undeserved'/' v said Patrick Quinn, Coalition spokesman. Under the bill (Senate Bill 269), a 12-member Com­ pensation Review board (appointed by legislative leaders) would meet every two years to fix salaries for judges, legislators, and elected officials of 'the Executive branch and present its recom­ mendations to the General Assembly. The recommended salary i n c r e a s e s w o u l d automatically go into effect if no legislative action was taken on the recom­ mendations. Quinn said the proposed pay raise commission would not be objective or in­ dependent because its members would be ap­ pointed by legislators and beholden to them. Quinn also said the creation of the commission would violate the Illinois Constitution because by accepting an automatic pfey raise,ithe General Assembly would be delegating its law­ making power to an unelected group of ap­ pointees. "The Coalition is prepared to. organize a statewide taxpayer protest if the governor signs the pay raise commission bill," Quinn said. Last year the Coalition spearheaded the campaign for the Cutback amend­ ment, which reduced the size of the Illinois House. In 1978, the Coalition organized the Illinois Tea party, when 40,000 Illinois citizens sent tea bags to the governor protesting lame duck pay raises for public officials. i Quinn said any pay raise or pension increase for legislators at this time would be flaunting the over­ whelming vote by which Illinois voters anmved the Cutback amendment and would set a terrible fiscal example in a time of budget cutbacks. The Coalition has collected 25,000 Of the 252,000 signatures it needs by May 2 to put the Illinois Initiative amendment on the 1982 ballot. Anyone interested in circulating a petition for the Illinois Initiative should contact the Coalition for Political Honesty, Box 708, Oak Park, 60303 or call (312) 524-1978. u MCC CATALOG OUTLET STORE MCC CATALOG OUTLET STORE MCC UW-Madlson Michael J.
