Populations still are low in this anea, but now's the time to check lor worms, and to decide whethei' treatment plans will be warranted. To determine the need for first check the tassel ration. tig up a plant and measure from the bottom of the plant to tip of the longest leaf.

Split thi! plant and find the developing tassel. Measure from the bottom of the plant to the tip of the tassel. Divide the tassel height by the plant height and multiply by 100. If the tassel ratio is 30 or over and if 75 per cent or more of the plants have cornborer feeding on the whorl leaves, the field should be treated but not until the tassel ratio is at least 35, preferably 40 to 50. The percentage of infested plants required to justify treatment can be reduced with higher tassel ratios.

A fish shocking demonstration at' the ISU farm pond this week indicated that the fish population was way down, and what was there was very inferior in both size and species. Gorge Zebrun, fish biologist with the state department of conservation, found that chief cause of present fish situation is heavy silling since the pond was built in 1961. Where the pond was originally about 12 feet deep, it is now about four feet.

Shallowness of the pond has resulted in heavy winter-kill of fish. A good chance of summer-kill exists also due to lack of cool, deep water. Zebrun recommended the pond be dredged to its proper depths, kill out existing fish, and restock with proper balance of species. A thorough shocking only yielded about five small carp along with about a dozen very small bluegills. The pond was built originally as a water source for livestock.

It now furnishes water for the beef herd only. In order for the dairy to maintain its Class A rating, all water there must be from the deep well located near the dairy barn. Both dairy and hog farm use well water now. Zebrun works out of Department of Conservation office in Dwight, and covers 12 counties.
