Farmers need more grain storage (Continued from page 1) Milford branch. $1.82; and Ralston Purina. $1.83; Leesburg Mill. $3.50 per 50 pounds; Farmer’s Feed Service, approximately $1 90 On Tuesday morning prices at additional mills were: Leesburg Elevator. $1.90; and Deatsman Grain, $1.89 Carryover stock of grain in Indiana has been estimated at 105 million bushels. With corn production setting records the potential storage needs could total 1 075 billion bushels The corn crop will be 14 per cent above the previous record of 693 million bushels set in 1976. Both acreage and yields are record highs contributing to the 20 per cent increase from 1981. The expected yield of 125 bushels per acre is 16 bushels more than last year and 13 bushels above 1979 when the previous record high was set Estimated storage capacity, even that used for ear com, is 935 million bushels. This indicated' the state would be 140 million bushels short of its needs if all grain came in at the same .time. Even though the storage appears tight the problem is not evenly distributed with some areas not suffering as much. Purdue Agricultural extension engineers offer these suggestions. • Delay com harvest to reduce drying costs and as a form of field storage. Weather plays an important part of this decisiorrand a delay also gives more time for or-ection of storage and transportation problems. • Store early harvested crops in an elevator, fill on farm or other acquired storage space last. Make use of all sources of temporary storage, such as machine sheds, suitable bams, concrete floors, haylofts and others. Check with neighbors or seek unused business buildings in nearby communities for more space. Purdue Extension economists recommend these alternatives as most-to-least economically attractive. - First, store as much of the crop as possible for 60-90 days in anticipation of better market prices. - Second, if storage space is not available, basis contract the crop - Third, enter a delayed pricing program with a financially sound elevator. - Finally sell the crop for cash at harvest. Something else If you run out of vanilla extract, a batter or dessert can be flavored with grated lemon or orange rind and a little lemon juice. Or use l 4 teaspoon nutmeg in place of each teaspoon vanilla extract

Consider planting trees

By STEVE BOEDER While you make plans for the fall and winter, don't forget to consider your tree planting plans for next spring. W’hile being somewhat unusual to consider tree planting now, it is important in order to take full advantage of the Department of Natural Resources tree program. The DNR has released its list of trees and shrubs available for sale now, and for planting in the spring of 1983. The list contains species from evergreen, types to hardwoods and several varieties of shrubs. In making your tree planting plans, one factor to be considered is the soil type on your land. Simply, stated, trees and shrubs are adapted differently to varying soil conditions. Hardwoods, like walnut and oak. are best adapted to a welldrained site. Other trees, such as willow, cottonwood, and sycamore, do best on poorly drained soils. Similarly, evergreen trees will also show a preference to different soil conditions. While white pine grows well on a wide range of soil conditions, red pine is generally recommended for droughty soils while spruce and northern white cedar adopt themselves better to the poorly drained soils. This is not to mean that a tree will not live and grow on a nonpreferred site but that the tree will not attain optimum growth. Another factor to consider is how the trees should be planted. In reference to this, a landowner should consider plowing up heavy sods prior to planting trees. The sod will compete with the trees for nutrients and moisture. It is important to help these trees as much as possible to survive the first few years. Herbicides can be used to control competing vegetation before and after planting. Proper herbicide selection and application is important. Spacing of the trees and or shrubs is also important. A hardwood stand of walnut, for example, could be planted on 10 feet spacings which requires a total of 436 trees per acre. If the spacing was increased to 12 feet the number required will be reduced to 304. If you are planting a windbreak, the evergreen trees should be planted about 16 feet

contracting any of the vaccinepreventible childhood illnesses. Often these diseases are more severe and may result in more complications among younger children who get them. The Indiana State Board of Health's Immunization Project has been working to insure high immunization levels among the state’s youngest citizens. Vaccinations against measles, rubella, polio, diptheria, pertussis and tetanus are required for public school entry tn Indiana. A mumps vaccination, though not

apart in order to maintain lower branching. The shrubs in a windbreak could be planted as close as three to four feet apart. The desired spacing will depend on the shrub. Finally, maintain the trees by reducing competition from other vegetation, water and fertilize, and prune when necessary to achieve optimum growth and development. Tree planting is a long-term investment. Whether the trees are planted for timber production, windbreak or other purpose, a considerable amount of time is required for the trees to develop. This is why woodland clearing should be done after careful consideration. Trees are a money
