Although the occasional drive-by scout- ing effort is better than no attempt at all, what is seen from the road is rarely the extent of what is oc - curring in the field. Is- sues in a field crop need to be diagnosed early to prevent season-long dif- ficulties. A good time to get into a soybean crop is when the 2nd or 3rd tri- foliolate set of leaves has emerged, providing room to walk without damag- ing plants but still offer- ing enough leaf area to check for disease or in- sect issues. Corn crops walked at knee-high offer movability and diagnosis of weed management is- sues when the corn cano- py is rapidly approaching closure. The number one pri- ority when scouting ear- ly is assessment of weed control. This season has been unique in the late planting schedule, and weed control becomes more difficult when bare fields early have allowed weeds to germinate free- ly for some time. Espe- cially with glyphosate-re- sistant weeds such as marestail and Palmer Am- aranth, scouting for pres- ence of these weeds ear- ly in fields is imperative, while plants are small enough to control via oth- er herbicides. Existence of high numbers of oth- er weeds also may point to a product or manage- ment error that would not be well diagnosed until a combine reaches a weed- filled pocket in the field. When in the field, the first data to gather are stand counts. Planting of corn and soybeans usual- ly occurs with some final stand count in mind, usu- ally a number slightly less than the number of seeds planted. With the low- er germination percent- ages of seed planted this year, getting a good idea of the number of healthy plants in the field is more important than usual. For corn, having a tape measure or yard stick and averaging the number of plants along a few rows is ad - equate. With 30 -inch row widths, count the number of plants in 17 feet, five inch- es. Multiply this amount by 1,000 to estimate the plant population in one acre. For soybean plant population counts, this method works if soybean are in rows. For drilled soybeans with 7.5 inch row spacing, take a hu- la hoop of known diame- ter and throw it random- ly down in the field. The area within the hula hoop is 3.14 times the radius squared. Count the num- ber of plants within the known area and multi- ply as needed to increase the area to an acre. Com- ment to yourself after- wards about the real-life relevance of high school mathematics. While in the field, dead crop plants are a sure sign that an issue needs to be addressed. A host of fac- tors could be at fault, from pesticide drift to cut- worms to root rots, but all are a sign that something needs to be done in future years to prevent the issue from becoming worse. Live plants should also be inspected for any signs of insects, insect feeding, or foliar disease. Caught early, insects and diseases can be controlled to pre- vent total defoliation and return nearly the entire possible yield. If you pay someone to scout for you, double-check their recom- mendations with your own foot traffic occasionally. If you need to borrow a hula hoop, please contact Hans at the Purdue Extension office in Gibson County via hschmitz@purdue. edu or 385 -3491.

Postcards this week were none at Sweets Column, Winslow, IN 47598, but we did get a note. The note came with two pamphlets, one of Hocking Hills located in Logan, Ohio, which is great for hiking, pic- nicking, bridle trails, camping, swim- ming, biking, hunting and fishing. This State Park has evidence that the an- cient Adena culture shows that man inhabited the recesses of these caves more than 7,000 years ago. The second pamphlet is the Visitors Guide for Colum- bus Museum of Art, which is a two-story structure with several rooms for all types of art, and around the city of Columbus, there are plac- es to see for the history buff, the art lover, the explorer and the foodie. The note says: "Hi Sweets, greetings from Ohio! Have a great summer, I am planning on taking a road trip and will send you stuff along the way. Janie Tormohlen. P.S. The fun begins after July 4." Nice to hear from you again, Janie, and the pamphlets of Ohio look like a good road trip for someone to enjoy. Have a great time after July 4, and stay safe as you travel and have fun. Now it's time for Norm to say a few words, so here's Norm. Yes, thanks Barb for letting me take your stage. I know it's been awhile, right? Well, the part-time gig with Mac's Heating and Air has come to the end, had a blast while it lasted! So now it's time to prep for the upcoming winter. Now with our last (east wall) all met- al lathe up and our last five bags of mor- tar in, we will have to grab more along with other stuff to get done by winter. I know, ahead planning! So you see I have a ton to do on the cabin and yes, clean the flue pipe, if you have one and use it. When did you last clean yours? The Winslow, Petersburg, Jefferson Township, Patoka Township, and Spur- geon Monroe Volunteer Fire Depart- ments were all at the Memorial Day Pa- rade, along with the American Legion Post 115. The Winslow Lions Club had a good showing, Rosie the Clown came and there was a cool old car shown by Kavin and Brittany Gayhart, and Dee Fiscus. We were also happy to have the Oak- land City Legion Riders, led by Rich- ard Bruce, and the Road Riders for Je- sus motorcycle ministry, led by Rev. Al- an and Rae Brock. At Oak Hill Ceme- tery, Pastor George Bruce had a good opening prayer, then Mr. Art Culver did a great job speaking, along with several others who chipped in and helped. It was both cool and moving as we honored all of our fallen vets. It was rather special when the Road Riders for Jesus handed out pins at the cer- emony. Thanks just doesn't cover it. I'm getting way out in front of it this time as I have already made contact for next year's Memorial Day Parade – May 28, 2018. See you there! On a cool one, Howard Gayhart and Buster McCandless' flags were on the stage at Oak Hill, and this meant a lot to both David and I. Yes, Buster was there in spirit. Thanks Brent Nelson for Taps, and yes, Henry Nelson, ma- ny said thanks for the bathroom be- ing open. Steve Nelson and Ray Brooks blocked the roads for us. As you can see, it's not about me or you, it's all about honoring our fallen vets of all wars who paid the big price for free- dom. I think my time is up, so I will see you when we meet up again. Be care- ful, be thankful, be kind, and be your- self, for we are all humans and we're all in this together. Time for me to roll on. Thanks, Norm, and it was a great Memorial Day and this year, there were no sounds of thunder or even a chance of rain. That's a first in over 10 years in the Winslow area. On this weekend of Memorial Day, we had two cars at one time and we thank both Laura and Vernon for their help. The mosquitoes last week at Oak Hill Cem- etery were at bay, or none, but as soon as we got back home in our part of Winslow, we were at- tacked, but then the flies started their bites over the weekend. Laura found some dif- ferent remedies that we are trying out, because she can't take the Off Deepwoods with deet, so she is trying everything so we can enjoy our outdoor life. The plants she bought are supposed to help the mosquitoes stay away, and I heard we should plant them in all places in the yard you want to be out in. Right now, the flowers are in pots so we can place them wherever we need them. They do work some, cause we have them on the porch and now we can almost sit outside. We might have to get more marigolds for outside the cabin. Last Saturday, May 28, my mom came for a visit and to go through a few things to take back home with her, but while she was here, she and Terri Ann decorated the gravesites in three towns, and they took Kyana with them to show her the ancestors she has on her mommy's side of the family tree. Monday, Mom enjoyed the Memori- al Day Parade and the service after- wards. Wednesday, Laura took her to the Trading Post, where she met with Freida Bolin and some other Winslow seniors. Plus she talked to Alvin Brown and Paul Poehlein, and then they went to the Petersburg seniors meeting, where she got to visit with Bridgitte Chamness and others. Then on Fri- day, Aunt Jean picked her up and they went to Princeton to pick up an item for the bathroom, and then they both had a great time as they talked about everything. Oh yes, they went to Tem- ple Hills so Mom could see where our Meyer Reunion will be in September. Terri Ann was here most of the week also to visit and go through items that Mom had for her Bible School. Besides going through items, she found her tur- tles, so she cleaned them up and took a few of them, plus a parrot that was keeping a watchful eye on the kitchen. It was Grandma Laura's. I should also say that the turtles were of stone and the parrot was an ornament. Mom had a great time as she was here but the days were short, not long enough to see everyone and do every- thing, but that will have to wait until an- other time. Oh yes, she got to visit with Janice Sucech before she was picked up Sunday by George, Deby and Jaca- ri to go back to Illinois. Thursday, Kyana and Laura got some sun as they both bought swim- suits and went swimming at the Jasper Pool. Then on Friday, they both went to get their hair cut. There was a 5K color run/walk in Ferdinand on Saturday where Laura had a time of 61 minutes. The route was from the park north of town where there are inclines and hills as you walk south around the church and monas- tery and back to the park. She had a great time as she walked and I saw some pictures of her with all the col- ors thrown, and you can see them on Facebook. Some of you know Mike Vinnedge, from Florida. He is Tom's brother. He underwent open heart surgery recent- ly, so keep him in your thoughts. Guess what? Yes, the lights are about to dim on this week's ramblings, and I hope you all keep an eye on family and Sweet's Column by Barbara Sweet friends, slow down and enjoy all your surroundings, don't be in such a hurry. Then as always, smile, wave, and say hi to everyone you see this week.
