This means that more farmers are finding it hard er to follow good rotation practice. As a result, soybeans are being planted in rotation with soybeans instead of corn, pastures or small grain. With this situation farmers are gradually being faced with a ser ious build-up of nematodes. Of the approximately twenty different kinds of nematodes, we are troubled mostly In this area with Root-Knot, Lesion, Spiral, Stubby-Root, Dagger, Ring and Cyst nematodes. A buildup of any of these nematodes can pose a ser ious threat to the soybean and peanut producer. The Cyst nema todes at present are causing the most damage. Dr. J. C.Wells, Extension Pro fessor of Plant Pathology, states that we do not have any chemical (hematocide) registered by the U.S.D.A. and cleared by the F.D.A. for use on soybeans. Work, however, is being done to get Nemagon and Mocap cleared by the next planting season. You can hold Cyst nematodes population down in problem soy. tean fields by planting Pickett, a reelstam variety, one year, a non-host crop such as corn or cotton the next, and then follow with a higher yielding but suscep tible soybean variety such u Lee. Although some farmers dont like Pickett because it normally yields about two bushels leu than Lee, it can out yield Lee three to one in fields Infested with Cyst nematodes. 1 Three Declared Delinquent Percy Agustus Wiggins, Jr., Robert Lee Skinner and Luther Linwood Lamb, Jr. were each de clared delinquent by the Perqui mans County Local Board No. 73 at their meeting held August 13, 1969, Selective Service Regulations provide that delinquents tall be ordered to report for Ruction ahead of other registrants, and that a delinquent who falls to re spond shall be reported to the United States Attorney tor crim inal action.

Chairs Are Designed To Suit Chicago (NI S) - Did y-.u ever wander into a sandwuli shop and find yourself eating and leaving in 20 minutes when you really weren't in a hurry ? Have you ever dropped into a posh restaurant in a tush nnly to leave hours later and many dollars shorter when you'd planned to do just the opposite ? What makes you go quickly or linger may puzzle you, but it's no mystery to the management. They planned it that way. So say the experts at the B. Brody Seating Company, Chicago, manufacturers of commercial and residental dining furniture and past masters at creating chairs that make people get ,up and go well j give in and stay. The answer lies in creating de signs for a specific objective and then tailoring the result to human requirements. "i or seating in public places, we design a chair for the plaic and the way it is going to be used. Then we refine the design to lit the people," . company designers said. In shoil, if you're looking for the right restaurant for a leisure!) lunch or just a fast sandwich, don't make your choice by the menu at the door - check the type of seating inside. l or example, in rapid-scrvkc res taurants where fast turn-over and efficient use of space mean the difference between profit and loss, the chairs are usually metal-ltamcd with straight medium-height backs, relatively small square seats, and attractive but not overly thick up holstery. Sometimes one-piece molded shell chairs are also used for this type of installation
