Located in the center of the fairgrounds in the Emmerson building, "CORN-ucopia" is the reiult m of the cooperative funding effort of six private industrial groups. "More than 100 companies throughout the United States donated hundreds of products to create some awareness of the many uses of corn," said Steve McClure, bureau chief for the Illinois Department of Agriculture's Division of Marketing. The video display and eight modules that make up the exhibit show the many products, both edible and inedible, that contain corn or corn derivatives.

In short, "CORN-ucopia" will tell the story of corn. "All too often, we 'tell the story' to people involved in agriculture and not to the remaining 97 percent of our population who are less likely to be aware of the vast influences of agriculture on their lives," McClure said. Corn is an obvious theme for an Illinois State Fair display; its production is responsible for the highest percentage of cadi receipts from farm marketings of all the agricultural commodities in the state. It is the largest grain crop in the i«J| r 80™ Due to cool, wet weather earlier in the growing season, there are a lot of late-tfiatiiring corn fields in Illinois, r County has its share of these fiolHft and area i>rodno»rs should bo on llvIUD PltU •* f»a VUUVvtB BllvlliU ImJ VII the lookout for potential insect problems which tend to increase under such circumstances. The corn leaf aphid is the first insect tolbok for as tassels and silks begin to emerge. They are blown into Illinois during early summer on winds from the south. These small, blue-green, sOft-bodied "plant lice" appear in clusters of 10 to 1,000 or more on the newly emerging tassels and upper leaves. They do damage by sucking moisture from the plants. Infestations that cover the tassel and upper two or three leaves can cause poor ear-fill or barren plants, especially when, plants are under a drought stress. To determine the abundance of corn leaf aphids and the need for control, check 25 consecutive plants at four sites in afield, If you find 50 percent or more of the plants with 100 or more aphids per plant, and soil moisture is short, consider control treatments. Aphid populations have been known to explode in a few days in the absence of natural enemies such as lady-bird beetles, and larvae. Insecticides labeled for corn leaf aphids include mninihifln. nate,. and Penncap-M. ** u, • corn through August. Based on last year's low beetle populations, entomologists expect low rootworm beetle populations again this year. However, it is important to be alert for this insect pest as silk feeding will when interfere with pollination populations are high. To be safe, check continuous corn fields forjrootworm beetles as plants beetles on 50 plants sampled at ran­ dom. An insecticide should be con­ sidered if you find five or more rootworm beetles per plant, silk clipping is occurring, and not more than 75 percentof the plants have silks showing. If treatment is delayed until all plants have silked and some silks are turning brown, pollination is probably complete and the damage, if any, has been done. Early treatment to control' rootworm beetles is important. For control, apply Sevin, malathion, diazinon, Lannate, Penncap-M, or Pydrin. As with all pesticides, be sure to thoroughly read the labeT before applying an insecticide. ; •>» > ' FUND FOR BABY A trust fund has been established to help save the life of Brett Wellington, an 8-month-old Wauconda child who i* afflicted with a serious liver ailment called Biliary Artesik.

The life insurance policy you already own is valuable protection. Of course, this does not mean that you should defer buying additional life insurance to meet increased needs and responsibilities. However, it does mean that you should use care in deciding whether to replace an in-force policy with new insurance. There are a number of reasons why care should be exercised before dropping an in-force policy for a new one. it's in your best interest to give careful consideration to each and every factor involved before deciding to replace in-force life insurance. Further, you should be aware that as in all other businesses and professions, unethical practices can sometimes exist in the life insurance business. It is regrettable--but nevertheless true--that there are a few who refuse to observe the norm of high ethical standards. State insurance departments, Better Business Bureaus, and life underwriter associations (whose members are career salespersons of life and health insurance and other financial services), offer this advice: BE SORE anyone who urges you to replace an in-force policy allows you time to investigate every representation carefully. BE SORE you talk with a representative of the company which issued you the policy you are being asked to replace. ;<o • i d K FOR YOUR PROTECTION if you are asked to surrender or otherwise lessen the value of a life insurance policy you now own and replace it with other insurance, it is wise to insist that the individual making the proposal put it in writing. Then submit the proposal to your own agent or the company which issued your in-force policy prior to replacing your present policy. Go slow. Seek counsel. Take time to investigate. In short, get all pertinent information before replacing the policy you already own!
