Th is time last year, our farmers were busy as beavers in the fields. This season, it's a much different story. In many places, the earth is like a wet sponge. Some of those low places in the fields look like they'll never dry out for planting and the w eather­man keeps promising [and pro­viding] scattered showers". That means either six drops or a real gully-washer.

Some nice hot days with warm drying breezes would solve a lot of problems. It would make the tractor jockeys happy and might burn out those end-of-winter flu bugs to which many of us are still playing hosts. It's been about three weeks now and I'm still walking around with a cough drop in my mought. I want fresh asparagus, green onions and radishes, not these stinko cough drops!

An elderly lady came running out of the doctor's office, through the waiting room, and out on the street The people in the waiting room were very concerned and asked the doctor what had hap­pened.

I simply told her she was pregnant," the doctor explained.

this chemical mess we are all engulfed in? Many farmers would like to “kick” the chemical habit but they have a tiger by the tail and are afraid to let go.

There is a church in the area that owns a farm or two. Would it be too presumptuous to assume the church might lead the way into the good life of organic fanning?

What have they got to lose but some dollars? On the other hand they might surprise a good many people by demonstrating it pays to grow good food.

A local market for organic food would have to be established. A project like this would be an ideal way to utilize the energies of young folk.

It would be nice to see an orchard with a flock of chickens working it over. It would be nice to plant a windbreak and invite the birds and bees back to the land.

The organic way of life on a farm is interesting and rewarding, ft is a nicer way of life and the church could have its own organic oasis in a chemical wasteland. Besides Mother Nature might help members of the congregation get a little closer to God through a portal only she can open.

The American Region and the American legion Auxiliary co-sponsor an essay contest on Americanism each year. The purpose of this is to aid the schools in teaching of Americanism and good citizenship.

The title of the essay contest this year was:' America - A Great Spirited Country To lave In." Debbie Rich, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Rich, was the only participant from the Chatsworth Schools this year. Debbie is in the eighth grade.

Here is her contribution.

"AMEKICA-A GREAT SPIRITED COUNTRY TO IJVE IN"

by Debbie Rich

Americans should be thankful for living in a free and liberated country Our freedom would not have became a reality without the willingness and determination of our early Americans.

The first settlers to come to the United States were men from Great Britain. These first settlers gave up their loyalty to Great Britain to come to a new and unexplored land!

Great Britain ruled the United States for many years, but Americans wanted to be free and independent.

A daring move was made by a few men on July 4,1776. These men wrote and signed the Declaration of Independence. In this Declar­ation of Independence, these men gave up their complete loyalty to this infant nation.

This document, written by Thomas Jefferson, expresses that all men are created equal, and that all men are born with certain unalienable rights among which are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. It also expresses that when a government takes away these rights the people have the right to alter or abolish it.

The men who signed the Declaration of Independence proved their loyalty to the United States. They also showed that they had confidence in the United States government.

During the first years of the Revolutionary War, there were only temporary rules and laws which governed our nation. After the war the government revised these to form the Articles of Confederation. This system proved to be better, but improvement still needed to be implemented.

A small group of men got together at Philadelphia and formed a code of laws. This revised set of rules was called the Consti­tution.

This document is flexible. It was designed to change as the United States grew in population and size.

After the Constitution was written the Bill of Rights was added. The Bill of Rights provides: freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, protection against

standing armies, and a trial by a jury. The men who wrote the Bill of Rights were

looking out" for the people by helping and protecting them.

In the years that have followed, the American people have been tested again and again and their loyalty and dedication to the United States have always prevailed.

The American people had their loyalty tested many times, but our people stuck together. One of the many tests was World War 1. World War I left the United States a souvenir. The souvenir left the United States a Depression. During this period of history, the American people had to withstand many hardships, but stayed loyal to the United States of America and became an even greater nation because of it.

World War II came and America had to again intervene for her own welfare as well as the world's. Many thousand men had to serve in the American Army and Navy. Thousands upon thousands of men gave their lives on D-day, and countless other battles, dying that our American way of life could continue.

American people have indeed endured sacrifices for our co^try . They have fought to establish independence, fought to preserve it. and ultimately died so that future generations of Americans could enjoy the fruits of a truly free country. We Americans, should be proud of this heritage. We should always be loyal to the United States. We can show our loyalty and respect in many different ways: obeying all laws, voting in elections, being informed on current events, serving on juries, and being members in various service clubs.

We may think of these as time-consuming, and unimportant, but it is a very small price to pay to insure the continuing growth and greatness of America. By exercising these small, but so very important freedoms, we Americans can act as a beacon for the rest of the world, shouting for all to hear, "The American Spirit Lives On!"

Vogel seeks explanationby Rick Jones

A Bloomington attorney must come to Pontiac later this month to give a deposition in support of his petition for a special prosecutor to investigate charges made by him against State’s Attorney C. David Vogel.

About the time everyone else was concerned with the primary election, James Walker filed his petition in Circuit Court seeking a prosecutor to look into allegations that Vogel violated certain judicial standards.

For his part, Vogel, through his legal counsel, Roger Gomien of Dwight, asked Chief Circuit Judge John T. McCullough Tuesday to order Walker to submit to a formal deposition.

Gomien told the judge his client wanted to know how he had violated legal guidelines. The Dwight attorney told the court Walker's original petition was "woefully lacking" in fact.

Walker has contended that Vogel may be guilty of official misconduct as a result of comments reported in the Bloomington Pantagraph following the acquittal of an inmate from the Dwight Correctional Center

The inmate was acquitted after her attorney argued she escaped from the facility in fear of a homosexual attack in the all­female prison.

The Pantagraph article then quoted Vogel as saying such a defense would encourage future breakouts.

Vogel feels he had been charged without reasonable cause.

Walker, who did not attend Tuesday's

hearing, has been ordered toappear April 28 to give his deposition.

Judge McCullough, who took the case after Judges William Caisley and Charles Glennon excused themselves, agreed to come back to Pontiac from Uncoln to rule on any legal disputes which might arise during the deposition hearing.

in all likelihood, once the deposition is given, any further court action will be delayed while Vogel and Gomien study Walker’sspecific charges.

it seems likely, too, that Vogel and Gomien at some point will ask the court to dismiss Walker’s petition.

A volunteer is sometimes referred to as a Wonder Drug.” This "Wonder Drug" has the

capacity to fight loneliness and the sense of rejection and isolation residents often feel. The "Wonder Drug” volunteer can have the

potency of a shot of adrenalin in aiding the restoration and rehabilitation efforts of a medical team and social work staff.

"In sDite of declining bodilv function, the spirit for many older persons continues to grow and develop. The activity program at Fairview offers social, spiritual, physical and educational pursuits; all beautiful reasons for living for those who reside at Fairview Haven," activity director Mary- Merritt said this week.

A rating Saturdayby Debbie Rich

The Chatsworth Girls 4-H club presented their skit entitled "Give A Hoot - Pop Into 4-H" Saturday night. Chatsworth 4-H received an A rating or a first on the skit.

What hurt the girls most was that no one spoke loud enough.

This is the first year the girls%4-H has done such a thing. All we can do is get better, this was our warm-up year.

After the ribbons were awarded to the various clubs, the girls went out for pizza. Money was taken out of the treasury to congratulate the girls.

No change in Saturday mail

In a letter to 15th District Congressman Tom Corcoran, recently-appointed Post­master General William F. Bolger says there will be no change made in the status of Saturday mail delivery during 1978.

Corcoran, a member of the House Post Office and Civil Service Committee, com­mended the attitude of the new Postmaster General in responding to his inquiry on behalf of his constituents about the future of Saturday mail service.

The Committee has completed work on the new postal reform bill, H.R. 7700, which was approved by the full House on April 6. H.R. 7700 returns to Congress policy and fiscal accountability controls over the U.S. Postal Service. Corcoran sponsored key amend­ments in this respect, eliminating the Postal Board of Governors and mandating a public service accounting report to Congress each year from the Postal Service; the latter amendment was contested but passed by a vote of 203 to 189.

In his letter to Corcoran, Mr. Bolger stated. "With the press of other important matters, there will be no action taken in 1978 toward discontinuing Saturday delivery ser­vice."

Phone company will help locate buried cables

The General Telephone Company offers assistance in locating underground telephone cables to anyone in need of the service, according to Virgil D. Brown, division service manager.

Underground telephone cables have be­come the way of life in telephone service, both ' in rural and urban areas, Brown said.

In the rural area the company provides location markers along routes indicating telephone cable at the locations. The purpose ot the markers are to alert anyone who may have requirements to dig, plow, or excavate in the vicinity of the buried cable.

“A brief telephone call (toll free) to our service department,” Brown said, “will enable our forces to pinpoint the exact location and depth of the buried cables, preventing possible interruptions of telephone service.”

•Cooperation among builders, contract­ors, and excavators, will assure trouble free telephone service. Only a little looking and planning may save hours of service loss and repair,” Brown said.

E x t e n s i o n a d v i s e r s r e v i e w

w e t p l a n t i n g c o n d i t i o n s

. It was ironic that in the week when all income tax returns were due, and business­men gathered to fret over workmen’s compensation and unemployment compen­sation rates, that an academic should stand up and say there might be light at the end of the tunnel.

That is exactly what Prof. A. James Heins, the respected University of Illinois tax economist, was saying. He could foresee a long-range trend of declining taxes, he said.

At a time when national magazines are filled with talk of taxpayers' revolts across the nation, Heins unemotionally explained a rational, non-political point.

’If taxes go up when needs go up and needs go up when population goes up, he told businessmen attending an Illinois State Chamber of Commerce legislative confer­ence, then needs and taxes ought to go down when population goes down.

Actually, he said, there is evidence of taxes going down already across the United States-for the past three or four years.

What is needed now, and in the future, Heins pointed out, will be a push for greater efficiency in government. He told business leaders they should watch so that the amount of money government spends doesn't auto­matically continue to rise, even though the volume of services necessary is not rising.

Heins’ long-range prognostication was timely-particularly since there was evidence in the past year that the upward surge in public welfare may have been checked. There additionally is evidence in current budget discussions about declining school-age pop- ulation-and its portent for the schools.

For reasons of their own, politicians of both parties this year are advocating a variety of tax-relief proposals which a few years ago would have been brushed off as the stuff of which opium dreams are made.

Gov. James Thompson has proposed broadening senior citizens’ tax relief as well as starting a program of exempting from the sales tax the equipment new industries in the state would purchase to set up manufacturing enterprises.

Democrats last year espoused a broaden plan. The Illinois State Chamber of Com­

merce, the Illinois Manufacturers Assn, and now Comptroller Michael J. Bakalis also clamor for breaks for new industry and easing the way for existing industries to expand.

Mayor Michael Bilandic and the Chicago Democratic legislative contingent, as well as Downstate Republican legislative leaders, are interested in giving counties some way of exempting industries from real property taxes for a limited time period. All this is proposed in the name of making Illinois, or their particular area, more attractive for industry and jobs.

What is more directly of concern to local homeowners is the latest package put forth by Senate President Thomas C. Hynes (D-Chica- go) to give inflationary growth and broader application to the $15,000 home-improvement exemption for four years first passed in 1975, and to make statewide and take off the dollar limit from the $7,500 Downstate repair and maintenance exemption designed to spur improvements on deteriorating properties.

Perhaps there is political-pointsmanship at stake here, with shrewd politicans real­izing the mood of the taxpayers and the po­tentials that exist-both in terms of votes to be obtained and the desirable effects in the communities.

There has to be caution, however. There also is pending a so-called “taxpayers’ rights” constitutional amendment-to impose a ceiling on state spending. The amendment, which had its origin in California and was narrowly defeated there, would restrict state spending to 7 per cent of the personal income of the citizens of Illinois. It is now at about 6.8 per cent.

Trends in population may be downward. Ixmg term, the trend in taxes hopefully also should be downward. But in a state where there is such interlocking relationships between state and local governments, it would appear caution is necessary lest balances be upset, and undesirable consequences follow.

by James R. Shearl Ford County Extension Adviser, Agriculture

Last Friday, I sat in on a crop production up-date session with U. of I. Agronomy specialists and Extension Advisers from throughout Illinois. Although there was litersilly no field work activity anywhere in the state, there was a good deal of discussion about problems in wheat and alfalfa and some comment of ways to handle a wet spring planting time situation.

First, the wheat situation. Advisers from northwestern and west-central Illinois complained about scanty wheat stands. In many cases, there was no sign of life in the affected wheat plants. A combination of disease and winter kill was blamed for the damage. Agronomist Charlie Brown recommended that serious thought be given to tearing up any large areas that had less than five living plants per square foot.

Alfalfa has really suffered this winter. Loss due to freezing is expected to be widespread. The decision for dairy and beef producers will be whether to renovate or completely re-do existing stands. A rule of thumb in this regard would be to make a judgment based on

number of healthy plants and age of the stand.Spotting in or patciung with a drill and

corrigated roller is suggested for last year's seeding. Older seedings may be made most valuable by overseeding with red clover to obtain a quick return and maximum tonnage per acre. Red clover is recommended ahead of alfalfa in this case because it is more hearty and will get going a little faster.

Those weighing a decision of whether to plant spring wheat or spring oats are advised that spring oats will tend to yield more in a late planting situation.

In regard to fertilizer, there is thought being given this spring by some farmers to switching from anhydrous to 28 percent nitrogen. The concern being that anhydrous may not seal as well in damp soil conditions. Agronomist, Bob Hoeft, pointed out that it was still too early to move away from the anhydrous form and that there may be some cost advantages for staying with it. Hoeft also suggested that those who plan to use 28% or dry urea should plan to have it disked in within two days of application.

N-Serve, a product used to slow down the break down of ammonium nitrogen to nitrate nitrogen, was discussed. Hoeft suggested that

Committee approves Corcoran's tuition tax credit proposal

N-Serve would not be economical after May 1 because of increased temperature. He also pointed out that N-Serve was not cleared for use when side dressing crops.

Bob Pope, U. of I. Soil Scientist, made some recommendations concerning tillage practices for this spring. Bob pointed out that cloddy seedbeds, low soil temperatures, soil compaction and delayed planting are some of the problems that may be faced this year on soil, with inadequate drainage or those with high clay plow layers.

Pope added that heavy com stalk residues also slow the soil’s drying and warming in the spring. Chopping or shredding the stalks would help, but it should have been done while the soil was still frozen.

In a wet spring, the moldboard plow will only be effective on soils with good drainage. Spring plowing should be shallow to minimize the amount of wet soil that has to be moved to prepare the seedebed.

Pope says a plow depth of four to six inches should be adequate. To break down the clods, a once-over with a disk and harrow or a cultipacker will do the job, after the clumps have dried for a few days.

You could use a tandem or an offset disk as a primary tillage tool, instead of a moldboard plow. Disking three to five inches deep will incorporate about half the com stalk residues and loosen the soil, allowing it to ddry quickly.

Deep chisel plowing in the spring is not effective in wet soils. Pope adds. If a chisel plow is used, a shallow operation-three or four inches-will create fewer problems. Weeds and volunteer com will be more of a problem in fields where a disk or chisel plow is used instead of a moldboard plow.

There is no “best” system for all fields. However, shallow tillage appears to offer advantages in a wet spring.

CIPS files new rate schedule

Central Illinois Public Service Co. mb nounced it will be filing revised rate schedulertoday to reflect increases in its electric and natural gas rates granted Wedneaday (April12) by the Illinois Commerce Commission.

The new rates, which will produce an estimated $28.6 million in additional annual revenues, represent abut 65 percent of the company's May 19,1977, request.

In the ICC decision, CIPS was allowed an overall return on its rate base of 9.04 percent. As part of its request, CIPS had asked for inclusion of $52 million in electric rate base, representing Investment as of December 31, 1977, towards the completion of the sulfur dioxide removal system required for its new Newton generating unit. The commission did not allow any of this construction work in progress (CWIP) in the rate base.

The new electric rates include a summer- winter differential in charges to customers. This will result in increases to a residential customer of about 25 percent during the four summer months, June through September. The increase would be only about one percent in the remaining eight “winter months.” For a residential electric customer using an average of 525 kilowatthours per month over a 12-month period, the increase would be 12 percent or an average of about $ 3 monthly.

The commission, in its rate order, substantially increased the difference in the charges for electric usage between summer and winter months over the CIPS request, saying the company’s proposal did nof’give an adequate pricing signal to its residential consumers."

SA gas space heating customer using 125 therms per month will pay 44 cents or about 1.5 percent more.

Commenting on the ICC action, CIPS president K.E. Bowen said:

“The commission's decision contains a number of adjustments which were not supported by the record in the case. Therefore, we are seriously considering filing for a rehearing and reconsideration of the decision.”

The House Ways and Means Committee today approved a tax credit bill to cover tuition and fees at the college and universitylevel.

Fifteenth District Congressman Tom Corcoran is the House sponsor of the “College Tuition Tax Relief Act,” introduced in the Senate by Senator Bill Roth (R-Del). Action by the Committee today, by a 23-15 vote, approves a measure introduced by Congress­man Charles Vanik (D-Ohio) to provide a $100 tax credit for individuals to attend the post-secondary institution of their choice in 1978. The credit, if passed by the entire

House, would increase to $150 in 1979 and to $250 in 1980.

The Committee measure is the culmin­ation of years of effort by supporters of tax credits for education to get a vote before the full House membership.The upcoming vote will be the first time that the measure thas been brought to the floor. The Senate has passed a similar tax credit in various forms on several occasions in the past. Corcoran praised the effort of the Committee in breaking the "logjam" which has recently slowed the progress of education tax credits through Congress

by Mary RichardsFor many, many years, sleds have been

popular Christmas gifts for children. And, about this time of year, many children are out enjoying their Christinas sleds. Unfortunately some of them are also being injured in sledding accidents.

The Illinois Department of Public Health has some safety tips that may help your child avoid a sledding accident.

Make sure the sled is constructed well. It should not have split or splintered wood, or metal parts that are bent out of shape.

The sled should not have any sharp, jagged edges or protruding rivets.

It should have a protective guard or bumper over the metal front bar to prevent cuts and other injuries in case of a collision.

The sled should steer easily, without jamming.

It should have secure handholds and a place to tie on a rope.

When using the sled:Walk over the sliding area before using it.

Look for bumps, tree stumps, boulders, ice and bare spots. If these hazards cannot be removed or repaired, do not use that part of the slope.

Supervise children who are inexperienced in using a sled. Make sure their first sliding is done on short, gradual slopes that are not cluttered with debris or bumps.

Warn children not to push, shove or otherwise roughhouse while riding sleds.

Figure out ahead of time how to stop the sled or get off safely in an emergency. Learn how to roll sideways off the sled to lessen injury in case of a collision.

Do not slide through traffic intersections or across streets, even if there are no cars in sight. They can appear suddenly “out of nowhere.”

Hold or tie the ropes on the top of the sled to keep them from slipping underneath and causing an abrupt stop.

Don’t slide until the slope is clear of nearby sledders.

Move off busy slopes quickly when you reach the bottom to prevent collision with other sledders.

Walk back up the slope along a side path out of the way of those coming down.

Never tie a sled to the back of a car. When the automobile stops, the moving sled can easily slide under the car, causing serious injury to the person riding the sled.

If you want more information about sleds, toboggans or snow disks, contact your local health department, or write to: Illinois Department of Public Health, Product Safety Program, 535 West Jefferson, Springfield, Illinois 62761.

FIVE WAYS TO DIG UP MONEY TO SAVE

"Who, me’ Save money7 How7”That's what I hear a number of people

lamenting these days. So I asked our researchers to come up with at least five practical ideas for an adult to be able to carve a goodly sum out of the family income and plump it into a savings account.

The answers surprised me. They are obvious, yet in all cases they require some willpower. But the net effect is so good that I’m convinced almost anyone can get into the regular savings habit by choosing starters like these:

1. Put away that check you get back from the Internal Revenue Service. All of it. Don’t commit part of it or ail of it to anything else. Oddly enough, most taxpayers do receive a government check for overpayment of their federal income tax returns. And it’s like found

money - a great one-shot booster for your savings account. Do this, and you’ll feel so good you’ll probably find other ways to save some more.

2. Stop smoking. And actually put the cash you spend on cigarettes into a jar every day. Every month dump the accumulated total at the teller’s window. Even a moderate cigarette habit, which you know isn't good for you, can cost you $180 a year. If you’re a heavy smoker, you’ll be saving a lot more than $500 a year. You’ll be saving your health.

3. If you're part of a two-paycheck family, as so many Americans are these days, why not put away one complete paycheck at least every other month? Or every third month?

4. Forgo the big vacation trip this yer. Sure, it's an unhappy thought at first. But Front Porchville can be fun, too - with perhaps some cost-free trips close to home for picnics or fishing or tennis or swimming. Best of all, you’ll probably save a bundle. $300? $5007 $1,000 or more? Of course, it's all for naught unless you actually tuck that bundle neatly into your savings account.

5. Start a backyard vegetable garden this year for sure. The experts say that you should get back about ten times in dollar value what you put into the ground. So an investment of $40 in seeds, plants, fertilizers and insecticides should bring you $400 worth of fresh vegetables. Save $360 out of the grocery budget by fall.

April is the time to start that vegetable garden. Make sure the plot is well drained and gets six hours or more of full sunlight. About $1,000 square feet of garden area, I’m told, will produce all the vegetables that a family of four would need. It’s wise to get a soil test for $3 to $5 through the county agricultural extension agent so that you can supply the exact nutrients required for a bountiful garden. Be sure, also, that you plant at intervals so that you can supply the dinner table throughout the growing season.

Dig in - and start saving money any of five ways!

SHealthylim m m iam m m

by Mary RichardsEven though it is barely Spring, the state

health department is "gearing up" its efforts at preventing an outbreak of a late Summer- early Autumn disease - St. Louis Encephalitis.

What causes St. Louis Incephalitis, and how can an outbreak be prevented?

To begin with, St. Louis Encephalitis is a disease transmitted from birds i who carry the virus in their bloodstream) to people, through the bite of a particular kind of mosquito (the Culex pipiens). The mosquito bites an infected bird, then later bites a person, and transmits the disease. Not all birds, of course, carry the St. louis Encephalitis virus. But, if a significant percentage of them are found to be carrying it - and if there are large numbers of Culex pipiens around - the chances of an outbreak in the human population are very good.

And this brings us to the way the statehealth department works to prevent an outbreak.

As early in the Spring as possible, members of the St. Louis Encephalitis Early Warning Team collect mosquitoes and samples of bird blood from areas in the state which have a history of St. Louis Encephalitis cases. The mosquitoes and bird-blood samples are sent to the public health laboratory, where they are analyzed for the St.Louis Encephalitis virus.

If it is determined, by laboratory’ testing, that a significant percentage of the birds in a particular area are infected with St. Louis Encephalitis - and if the Culex pipiens are present in the area - the potential for human cases is high. But, before human cases develop, aggressive mosquito abatement activities can be conducted to minimize the Culex pipiens.

If a potential problem is detected in Spring or early Summer, there is time to abate the mosquitoes before the human cases of the

disease develop. There is time, because the Culex pipiens feed only on birds until mid or late Summer, when, for a reason no one knows, they change their feeding habits and begin to feed on people. That's when mosquitoes which have fed earlier in the year on infected birds, transmit the disease to humans.

What can we. as individuals, do to help? The best thing we can do is make sure there are no desirable breeding places for Culex pipiens in our yards. This mosquito looks for small puddles of still, stagnant water on which to lay eggs, such as the water that collects in tin cans, rubber tires, flower vases, bird baths and other items commonly found in yards. The Culex may also lay eggs on tiny puddles which form under thick shrubs or bushes.

So, this Spring, look around your yard for places where Culex pipiens might lay eggs and remove them. If you have a bird bath or other ornamental items which might collect water and which you want to keep, clean them out about once a week and refill them with clean water.

Our individual efforts now, combined with the work of the Early Warning Team, can do a lot to help avert a St. Louis Encephalitis outbreak in August and September.

If you want more information about St. Louis Encephalitis, contact your local health department, or write to: Illinois Department of Public Health, St. Louis Encephalitis Program, 2121 West Taylor, Chicago.

Low income groups to get help with heating bills

Thanks to a $16,811 federal grant, low income families in Livingston county will be eligible for help with their heating bits.

Friday, from 8:30 am . to 5:00 p.m., representatives of the Kankakee Community Action center will be at Central school in Pontiac to receive application for the aid.

Elderly people on a fixed income, or any other low income person (annual income of $5,850 or less for a family of four, for instance) can receive a $250 grant to help with heating bills. Last year, $50 was advanced in cash, while the other $200 was applied against heating bills. This year program directors will probably apply the entire amount towards the bills.

Eligible persons can apply for the grant at the Senior Citizens Drop-in center, located on the Mill Street side of Central school in Pontiac.

Mrs. James Diller, Chatsworth was elected president of Mid-Eastern Lung Association at the association’s annual meeting on Thursday evening at Lakeside Country club in Bloomington. Fifty one persons were in attendance. Mid-Eastern Lung Association services Champaign, Ford, Iroquois, Kankakee, Livingston, McLean and Vermilion counties.

Other officers elected were: 1st vice president, Mrs. Jesse Keen, Milford; 2nd vice president, Roy Young, Bourbonnais; secretary, Mrs. Harold Bork, Piper City; and treasurer, Terrence Johnston, Kankakee. New board members include Steven Hogan, Bloomington; Perry Klopfenstem, Gridley; Dan Ricks, Kankakee; Mrs. Jacquelyn Schwartz, Pontiac; and Mrs. Jean Graham, Paxton.

Total receipts to the association from the public in 1977 amounted to $108,980. Seventy- four percent of the receipts remains on the local level and twenty-six percent is forwarded to the Illinois Lung Association and American Lung Association.

The association’s programs are directed toward prevention and control of lung diseases through public and professional education programs and research investigations.

Check Pantry fo r Bugs

Insects are attacking stored foods. Species reported recently include the spider beetle, saw-toothed grain beetle, Indian meal moth, red flour beetle, and carpet beetles. These insects feed on breakfast cereals, flour, dried fruits, chocolate, macaroni, and other related products. The adults may live considerable distances from the foods they infest, since most can fly, according to William T. McNamara, Livingston County extension adviser, agriculture.

Several preventative measures reduce the chances of an infestation. McNamara advises homeowners to.

Examine stored food purchased at the supermarket for insects and damage caused by insects.

Keep storage areas clean by eliminating spilled foods.

Remove foods from their original containers to check the foods for insects, if the products are to be stored beyond a month, and place them in air-tight containers of glass, metal, or plastic.

Store dried products that are used infrequently in the refrigerator.

To detect the source of an infestation, carefully examine packaged foods for insects and their damage. Effective control is achieved only when infested foods are located and discarded. Empty the cupboards and other food storage areas and scrub or vacuum thoroughly to eliminate all spills.

Chemical control may not be required. If desired, Baygon at 0.5 percent or pyrethin at 0.1 percent in ready-to-use formulations, applied to cracks and crevices in food storage areas are recommended. Do not contaminate food, food handling surface, and cooking and eating utensils when applying insecticides. After the spray has dried, place new shelf paper on the shelves and replace the stored products.

Fur further information, contact the Livingston County Extension Office at 844- 3622.

F a r m e r s d is c u s s

C y s t N e m a t o d e“Soybean cyst namatode can be controlled,

but the pest control is prevention while you still can."

Cyst nematode can be spread easily. A cyst smaller in size than a pin head may attach itself to soil particles and be transferred to other fields by rain, wind, farm machinery or even man himself.

Introducing one cyst into a soybean field in the spring creates possible production of over 10 trillion cysts by fall. Such reproduction could yield a serious problem for farmers.

There is a need to identify all fields infested with soybean cyst nematode. Positive identification may be made by running soil samples from potential problem fields through the University laboratory.

Soil samples should be taken and handled carefully to prevent cyst spread. Samples should be handled separately and wrapped in plastic immediately after digging. Samples are then studied for nematodes with the aid of a microscope.

Fields found to have cyst nematodes should be quarantined by the farmer himself. Quarantine protects soybean growers by attempting to restrict soil movement. Machinery leaving these fields should be washed free of all soil.

Having cyst nematode doesn’t mean farmers can't grow soybeans profitably. But it does mean they should follow strict crop rotations including com or other nonhost crons.

N o te s% i i «««i *«by James R. Shearl F ord County Extension Adviser, Agriculture

A common gardener question for this time of year is: "I have some garden seeds left over from last year - is it any good’ " The answer to this common question is a qualified yes, according to Herb Hopeh, University of Illinois Extension vegetable crops specialist. However, this depends on if the seed purchased last year was relatively new, and if you stored it in a relatively dry place during the interim period.

Seed stored under warm, moist conditions will deteriorate rapidly. Unless a gardener is certain his seeds were stored under good conditions, it is safer to buy new packets thisseason.

Some vegetable seeds have a fairly short life and probably will not germinate readily the next year after purchase. These include parsley, onions, lettuce and parsnip.

However, beets, cabbage, carrots, celery, cauliflower, eggplants, radish, leek, beans and sweet corn usually will germinate two to three years after purchase, and other crops such as cucumbers, tomatoes, squash and pumpkin will often remain viable for three or more years.

Do not try to grow seeds from hybrid vegetables harvested last year. These seeds will usually produce plants that are of poorer quality than than the original hybrid.

Strawberries - as soon as the soil works well is the best time to plant strawberry plants. Early planting enables the plants to become established before hot weather arrives.

June-bearing varieties are much more productive than everbearing types in the Illinois climate and are recommended for home production. Ever bearing types do best in areas which have a cool, damp summer; however, they are preferred in some home gardens because of the fresh berries they offer m the fall.

Home gardeners may lengthen the harvest season of June-bearing varieties by having early, midseason and late June-bearing varieties. The early variety, Earliglow, is suggested for all Illinois areas as are the midseason varieties Surecrop, Redchief and Guardian. For a late ripening variety, try Sparkle.

Plant strawberries in an area that has been cultivated and kept relatively weed-free for one or more years. Do not plant in an area where potatoes, tomatoes or peppers were grown the previous year. Some root diseases affecting these crops also affect strawberries.

Purchase certified virus-free plants from a reputable nursery. Set the plants 2 to 24 feet apart in the row. And keep the rows 34 to 4 feet apart.

During the first growing season pick off the blossoms as they appear. Blossom removal stimulates the production of runner plants needed to form a solid row.

Cultivation, hoeing and pulling are usually the most practical weed control methods until runner plants start to root. At that time herbicides may be used to control weeds.

For further information on strawberry production, contact the Extension Office in Melvin and ask for a circular on Growing Small Fruits in the Home Garden and another helpful publication called Controlling Weeds in Home Fruit Plants.

This is April 17 and after today we might just as well count our blessings since there isn’t any money left!

The winter of '78 and the Easter ice storm will be long remembered-especially by those electric consumers who were without electricity for days and, in some

areas, weeks because of extensive ice damage to electric systems.

Even now, with electric service restored, cooperative line crews continue to rebuild miles of storm-damaged lines. Some reconstruction will take months.

Although memories of those long, dark days without electricity are not pleasant ones, your electric cooperative would like to thank the members who endured the

severe hardships of the storm. We especially want to thank members for their patience and understanding during the extensive power outage.

Your cooperative's employees remember the ice storm, too—they worked around the clock, during and after the storm, to help restore your electric

service. These dark memories are highlighted by the kindness of members who offered assistance, food and shelter. The

thoughtfulness and generosity of members and others who offered help will long be remembered.
