The Plaindealer in* vites its readers to express their opinions in these columns.) TOO MUCH DRAINAGE The McHenry Plaindeler: The enclosed appeared in the-Chicago Tribune, Voice of the People column, Feb. 5, 1935. According to reports of recent floods in the South and dust storms in the West and Middle West, it appears that Mr. Spronter's indications and observations are worthy of consideration by land owners and drainage boards. Very truly, LEO STILLING. The article follows: Woodstock, 111., Feb. 5--Six months from now all of the farmers will be complaining because of a drouth. From now on, for the next two or three months, people living along the lower rivers will be drowned oUt of their homes. Believe it or not, at enormous expense the farmers of the middle west have built a tremendous drainage system that runs them completely out of water for growing purposes. This system is built on the idea that water which was formerly stored in ponds and sloughs close at hand should be run all the way to the Gulf of Mexico for storage. Of course this system depends on the remote winds of chance to pick up this water and bring it back again, but that's the way it is done. If every farmer and drainage board would take a few shovelfuls of dirt and plug up all the tile ancl drainage ditches for a year o$ so, thus filling up the old ponds and sloughs with the water that will otherwise be wasted by flooding out our neighbors to the south, there wouldi be no drouth next summer. The water from these ponds would evaporate and be ready for precipitation somewhere in the immediate neighborhood. It would not have to be borne on winds for over a thousand miles to reach the farmers' fields as at present. I. D. SPROUTER. Joseph Weisberg of Chicago was relieved of $419 at 8 o'clock last week Friday morning about a half mile north of the terra cotta hill on Route 61 by two holdup men, he told Ambrose Galvin, state patrolman, who investigated. Weisberg stated that he was driving in a truck with Irving Himovitz, also of Chicago, when two men forced the truck to stop. They also secured $20 from Himovitz, the two being able to give but little information concerning the description of the men, car or license. Chas. Brainard is to lose the postmaster's job at Round Lake, 111., where he has served as postmaster for rrfany years. He is engaged in the mercantile business at that place. Mrs. Gertrude M. Molidor has been recommended for the postal job, her application carrying the approval of United States Senators Lewis apd Dieterich. More than 20 years ago Brainard engaged in business at Round Lake. Mrs. Brainard served as postmistress during the Wilson adminis- --tration; Mr. Brainat-d has held the office under Hording, Coolidge, Hoover and . thus far under Roosevelt. Chtest injuries suffered last Wed- , jkpsday when he was kicked by a horse on the Alfred Peterson farm near Antioch proved fatal to William Gross, 51, at the Lake county hospital last Friday. Gross was taken to the hospital after a horse kicked him at the farm where he has been employed for the last two or three years. Fire which broke out early Wednes- |day morning of last week in a cottage at Highland Lake completely destroyed the structure. The blaze was discovered about 5:30 o'clock by J. W. Thompson, who resides nearby, and who turned in an alarm to the Grayslake fire department. The fire had gained such headway before it was discovered, however, that the building was a mass of flames before the firemen arrived, and there was nothing that could be done to save it. The cottage was owned by L. W. Alexander of Blue Island. It is believed that the fire started from the oil burner. No one was in the cottage at the time, but members of the fire department stated that the burner was kept operating at a low point to overcome dampness. Plans for re-opening the Antioch dairy plant, closed since January 21, are being made by the owners and directors and Clyde McKerlie, former manager of the plant, acting in cooperation with one of the large distributors in Chicago. Inspector Thom. as Sheen of the Chicago department of health, made a personal inspection of the plant here Monday and it received his approval. The minor recommendations made by the inspector have been complied with, and the final inspection was expected to be made last week., It is understood that the local dairymen have contracted an adequate source of supply and have also secured a market that is most satisfactory, The plant with present equipment can handle 35,0<X) pounds daily and with small additional equipment can take care of 60,000 pounds daily.
