The four units prtniovsly installed have a combined capacity of 75,- 000 kilowatts. The rtew 107,000 kilowatt unit marks the second boost-in the plant's capacity since 1941, when a 25.000 kilowatt unit together with its modern high pressor# bpHer%. .was. superiiTVposed on the" tlifee older units, thus modernizing the then existing plant, . On* of tire largest construction projects hi the area, as many as 1.000 men were employed at times during the past two years in building the plant addition and related facilities. The project is so designed that additional capacity can be added when needed in the years ahead. Many of the? basic facilities now installed have sufficient capacity to serve future units, having been designed for uPimate maximum use more advantageously and economically. Such facilities include new dock wall and coai storage and handling equipment. "AH of the new station facilities are of the most modern type," Budd said. "The new turbine is powered frorii two huge boilers, each of which is equipped nith three cyclone furnaces to efficiently burn crushed, rather iliau. ak>wedfed coal. "Two huge bunkers atop ytlie boilers each have a capacit 1,000 tons of coal, enough t 200 years." With the new unit in ser?ic«, the Joliet powe. plant will use about 1,500 to.is of coal a day. The enlarged coal storage yard adjoining the station has a capacity of approximately 250,000 tons. The new uiit consumes Ipss coal per kilowatthour than the Jour older units in tne station and is the most efficient condensing turbo-generating unit installed to datef by the company. Both the steam pressure of 1.25:) itouads per square inch and the temperature of 1,000 degrees fahrenheit will be the highest of any Public Service Con^any uatt now In operation. « • WRM ADVISER'S f COMMENTS (WlHiam T^mmeus. Farm Advisor) Dr. Salisbury, head of the dairy department of the University of Illinois, said at Farm and Home Week that many fanners milk ihe land rather than the coWs. He called our attention to the difference total digestible nutrients produced bv different crops" to prove his point. He said corn produces about 1,600 pounds per acre, barlev 900, all havs. 1.200. alfalfa hay »,2C0, improved pasture 2,200 to 2.500. ( Agriculture -doesn't (seem to he able or is not willing to competc, he says in advertising its wares, so far as vitamins for human consumption are concerned. One steak or oae quart of milk contains as many vitamins as you can buy at the corner drug Store for a dollar. Just look at all the, nourishment they, contain besides. There ^hould be 110 surplus of good quality pasture as many fear there might be. It will sene as an excellent substitute for high protein concentrate' and is much cheaper---no middle mail profit. A1 I*ang\ soil specialist,, says that there is ao surplus of excellent pasture. If you don't utilize it for livestock, feed it to your next grain crop. Further, it breaks the He used marrow plots, oldest U.S. experiment plot, as an example of the first use cf Improved pasture, ao to speak. Here fertility was actur-lly increased above the original by feeding the soil On a rotation of cora, oats, clover with manure, lime and phosphate, 100 acres in 1S74 is now 124 acres hi productive capacity, while where corn has been grown continuously 100 acr?s of original land now has a producing capacity of twenty-line' acres. lairg g.ivc the realistic example of the cow who bawls when she is hungry.

Into a discussion of weed killing the other evening after a *-H meeting at leader. Elmer Acfchian'sS south of Crystal I.ske. In the group were Henry Selbel, Lester Ebel, Frank. Ruckstalil, Elmer Ackinan, Carl Pearson. Matthew Fell and Dale Passow. Most of the stories were about the old days before 2-4-1). It was prt tty definitely concluded that there tre times when thistles are edsy to kill whether by hoe or spray. That time is about early oloom, because the reserve is 'Out of the roots th^li and with no leaf surface exposed to the sun, 110 reserve .can be restored in the roots. During the maturing stage, the roots are replenished for the next crop. One fellow said that when they got their first three-bottom plow they could plow closer to the fence. The last furrow away from the fcnce produced a thick row of button weeds (velvet weeds to some) in the overturned crown where he couldn't rememher seeing such a weed grow before. This proves that weed seed will stay in the soil for years and if for some reason they get up in the top inch where they cap get air they grow.

John Wolowic had a birthday Saturday Feb. 11 and is 'now 25. Tuesday, Feb. 14, there was « Valentine's party with a "Match the Hearts" contest, each person was given a heart wUh different shape and number, there was :i pair of each shape. The couples who found the > matched hearts first were the winners. The first five couples won the prizes. First prize winners were Grace KHday and Frank Wolowic, who received a one pound heart shaped box of candy each. The next four prize winners received a one-half pound heart shaped box of candy each. They were second, Ginger Allen and Lee -Harvel, third, Carole An derson and Albert lvrejer, fourth, Donna McNish and Bruce "Ilowie' Harrison, and fifth, Martha Cairnsand George Formaa.
