rrrWt'r;-! •fiT. Vi Thursday. August 16. 19SI • T** -~f gr* %. BrW.H. Fourteen years ago I took a young lady to Michigan on our honeymoon. Now she is there a&ain, but with the four children and I am home earnibg the existance. (JsVoung m^n, please note how deadly accurate this phenomenon is in repeating itself. You can't beat it. You can't hide from it. It happens to the best of them. A young farmer told me the Other day, after reading our 8cuthem Illinois hog story, what has always been wrong with his dad's hog raising project. He says he^ markets the biggest, fattest bogs out of the year's crop first ^Pd picks his. gilts for next year's crop out of what is left from the scrubs so to speak. ^ This probably makes the difference between a profit and loss in the hog business. Gilts must be selected from the biggest, fastest growing sow families. Earle Johnson, Clanyard Farm. Huntley, says he has a bunch of gilts farrowing now that have tn following steers on ladino sture. They have had no feed except creek water, ladino and following the steers. Litters are from eight to twelve pigs and no fatalities. As far as feed is concerned, there is no way to figure where they ate anything. Speaking of steers F. R. Wingerter of Huntley, has fifty-five Angus on eleven acres of alfalfa-- ladino-brome. They have been fyere since eariy May and still haven't kept The- patch has been mowed once in late June. How's this for grass return? Figuring thirty cents a pound for the two pounds each steer gains s per day would figure sixty cents per day times fifty-five steers is $33 per day or $3 - per acre per day return. They get 6 pounds of corn and cob meal per day at $1.60 per bushel which is sixty- <Kght cents per acre per day to subtract. This leaves $2.32 grotjs income per day. May through October pasture is 180 days or a - {gross income of $417.60 per acrc for the season. Sure this looks unbelievable because you probably haven't raised fifty-five head of steers on eleven acres with a 2-pound per day gain. Fifty-five steers are a ^em and thirty cents per THE McHEHHY PLAXNDEALER at* iritlffUjVii 1 W'l j'uj'y 1' •viH; ,, nir zer in the past ten years. It costs nothing to join the liars club because lies are not facts. It costs money to produce the above facts. Mrs. Ben Caldwell, 3 miles north -of Crystal Lake Just told me that at 16 she was the first secretary to the first county agent in their Missouri county. 1" have no idea how long that county has i New 60-Pound Food had a county agent. Package Sent By "CARE" She said they started together-- * he fresh out of the State college at Columbia and she direct off the home farm. She went" with ful program and have lots of fun at their monthly meetings. At present they are about forty strong. There is no reason why other farm boys and girls over 16 and unmarried wouldn't like to attend if they once got started. I'm' talking about oar Rural Youth. CARE aid to Yugoslavia was augmented last week with the in- „ troduction of a new "bulk food him to the country to visit farm- package» conUining 25 pounds ers because they found that her, family background got them a audience where the new fangled white collared guy didn't stand a chance. It has been reported by the state forester that McHenry county ordered more trees in ]9!>0 to be planted in the spring of 1952 than the state nurseries raised for the entire northern Illinois. A bill has passed the legislature providing for the establishment of more state nurseries. How come this great interest all at once? Norma a Specht. Robert Repke, the Soil Conservation district, its board of directors and the activities of these folks since February, 1946. Over 60,000 acres have been inventoried by these folks' in the county since that time. Most of these acres are now being put to better, more profitable use than they previously were because the owners are following the recom--foofr package includes free demendations set forth by Norm and Bob in the "Conservation Farm Plans" they have lafd out for these farms. Seventy-six men and four worn- .en have attended Norm's winter schools at Woodstock and Marengo in the past, four years, W*here they have developed their own farm plans during the ten weekly meetings of the course. I understand Richmond and McHenry have schools lined up for this winter. x My question is why bo satisfied with less than what we have just said is possible? Of course, somebody has to be that other segment of society. Speaking of quiting smoking. Mark Twain said once that he was an authority on the matter. He had quit a thousand times. McHenry county lias a group of young people that have a wonderof flour. 25 pounds of sugar, and 10 pounds of rice. The package can be sent for5 $11 to any individual in Serbia. Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Macedonia or Bosnia- Herzegovina. In accordance with CARE procedure, quantities of the new bulk package will be stored in CARE mission warehouses in Yugoslavia, ready for immediate guaranteed delivery upon receipt of orders at the Chicago CARE office, 189 W. Madison street, or any local CARE public service outlet. The new package will not replace the CARE standard Yugoslav food package, nor will the sale of the new bulk package for delivery to individuals in any way interfere with CARE's current mass distribution of 36 million pounds of U. S. surplus foodt among several million especially needy Yugoslavs. The $11 price of the new bnlk PUBLIC PULSE livery, and recipients pay no taxes, duties or any other costs, nor are their regular rations affected in any way by the receipt of a CARE package.

Stratton has announced that sales tax deposits for the month of July 1951 were off $88,657.40 compared to the previous month.

Editor * • McHenry Plaindealer McHenry, III. x It .was indeed a pIMsttre to Berve' on the judging committee for McHenry's recent Marine Day. My only regret was that a family commitment kept me from staying on to enjoy the day with all the friends that our family and' I have known in former years. Your parade was certainly aj credit to the McHenry community. The consideration given the judging staff left nothing to be desired and we are going to draw a raitt check on Mr. Vycital's invitation to have dinner with, his faultily. '... ' >/•' If you would welcome a suggestion for next year, it would be that parade entries should be classified according to the nature of the entry, rather than the type of business it represented. For example, put all floats in one class, all decorated cars in. another, decorated trucks in another. equestrians, kiddies, etc.. each in Uieir own group. No system is ever perfect but I believe that manner of classification would be helpful in the judging, rather than to use "commercial, business, industrial" etc. !n ten years of Harvard Milk Days we have had this same challenging problem of improving things each year, and it is always fascinating.
