You caa bey both sprays and powders with labels that say they are specifically effec­ tive against one or two bugs or insects, or specially for­ mulated for use as protection for certain plants and vege­ tables. But you don't need to buy a dozen different sprays or powders. Check with your seed sup­ plier or county agent before investing heavily in bug pro­ tection. The ben protection asainst severe bug damage is early spraying and constant atten­ tion. Look for early signs of bug damage, such as small holes in the leaves of plants.

Sale Of Champs Concludes Big County Fair Auction Hie annual auction concluded an important part of the McHenry County fair, an auction with a "sale of champions" for the first time.

Lloyd Getxelman, chairman, expreeaed appreciation to the buyers and the many bidders who made the sale a protection is either washed away or highly diluted. Proper spraying or dust­ ing is essential because you need to kill both adult and larvae. This is particularly true of beetles, as both adult and larvae feed primarily on leafy plants. Follow manufacturer re­ commendations carefully when using sprays and pow­ ders. Some say you can spray just before harvest, some say you can spray the day before harvest, others say wait long­ er to harvest after applica­ tion. But, there's no need to spray or dust and then har­ vest. Pick the produce, then work on the bugs.

CHILD VISION Dr Milton Ross Q. I have a studious daughter who frequently complains of frontal headaches. Why should a healthy child be sick so often? A. The cause is generally eye­ strain. More than half the pain in the head is induced by poor reading posture, light, movies and TV. Usual­ ly new glasses with advice about distances, lighting, size of print, etc., will give prompt relief. • of Ih. votum. of MMrt to tnit column, lor ptnontl rapttn c*n not b.
