York County 9 For every pound added per acre, a corresponding five pounds of limestone is needed. Additions of organic matter to the soils, through manure applications and no tdl mulches and trash, also increases acidity of the soils; and the lugher the organic level, the more herbicide it takes to get clean weed control. After tackling the dual problems of fertilization and weed control, the extension specialists focused the session toward another of the com farmer’s most painful headaches, stalk borers. “We just do not have an answer,” was the discouraging word from entomologist Stan Gesell. “There is no insecticide registered that will control stalkworm; we have none that we know will really work.” Burning off all stalk residue destroys the win tering larvae eggs, but Gesell labels that method strictly a “no-no”. Plowing with a moldboard is also effective in controlling the pest, but that too draws cnticsm due to high energy .

Furadan is the one control that works, at least some years, if used at planting tune in the furrow, says the insect expert. Both early and late com crops are susceptible to the damage of the stalk borer at certain stages of growth. Mid-June the first egg hatch attacks the taller plants of the early planting. Gesell recommended walking down the com rows at about the third week of June, when plants should be about 30 inches high, to examine the plant tops. If three-fourths of the plants show “sawdust” borer residue in the whorls, the acreage should be treated. Aerial applications seem to work best and will cost $lO to $l2 per acre, roughly equivalent to the value of the com destroyed by the pest. Crucial period for the late planted com is the beginning of August, when the stalks are still soft and juicy. If the com is to go for silage, no massive amounts of damage are likely to occur. But if the crop is to be held for gram use, that extra times the nitrogen that's usually lost with surface spreading—in addition to reducing odor and run-off problems Calumet vacuum tanks, in capacities from 1180 to 4500 gallons, are available with a choice of two vacuum pumps Both engineered to load fast and stay cool Heavy dutx steel alloy tanks, coated —USED TANKS .. . $3BOO (1) VISOO CLAY WITH ... $3OOO 2 SHANK INJECTOR National Central LANCASTER National Central Bank will change its name to Hamilton Bank, withdraw from the Federal Reserve System and convert from a national to a Penn sylvania charter on or about February 1, 1980, according to Wilson D. McElhmny, the bank’s chairman and president. McElhinny said con version of National Central Bank to state-chartered, non-member status has been under serious study for a number of years. The action will be taken to utilize more of the bank’s resources as interest earning reserves and to insure the bank will remain competitive with other banks in southcentral Pennsylvania.
