Let's don't kid ourselves that we are getting well off because we are so smart pre would be a lot of people ig for a Job if it weren't for the Russian threat and the money ottr Congress is pumping into the economy to prepare for possible war. Farmers dowestate, out of the dairy area. tray milk at the grocery store by the quart because it has been found that with one or two cow* their milk costs about Afenty-five cents per quart to produce. Now • they have more motley than time, but in 1932 when their product -- corn in particular -- sold for twelve cents per bushel they produced their own milk feecause they had more time than money. Don't forget that 1932 could happen again. All it takes is for someone important to get scared and OMh over the first domino. The mtger they are, the harder they fall and the bigger they are the more scared they get. I hope future administrations will have sense enough to taper off gradually on this spending spree and not try to do it all at once. There will certainly have to be a steady hand on the throttle and a steady foot on the break pedal. ^&Free wheeling was a necessary mrention because they found that dizzy drivers and cars that would do 90 got into trouble at 90 when they took their foot off the gas all at once. They usually turned end over appetite with a direct drive car. Many Safeguards hate been put into effect that are the same as free wheeling, such as Federal «mk Deposit Insurance, the many les administered by the Security Exchange Commission in confeeetioa with the stock market, unemployment insurance, etc. What are the poor people going to do who now have a hard time getting along on one full time job and some have two or a Job and a half. On€ thing that can be done is to build roads that the tracks are tearing up. This is done by the gas tax and people will spend their last dollar for a few gallons of gas to go and look for a job. Another thing is that institutions can get out their old armstrong lawn mowers and put away the tractor-driven 6 to 8 foot cut operated by one man. Most people will have fifty-two worry free weeks. This wa-t fit the farmer too well, especially those farming for themselves because they can't quit or get fired. The best advice to him is to be out of debt. .If he iB in debt, he'd better sell and buy something he can handle and ride down using his oars is guide sticks to stay clear of die rocks. Well, to all this you might say, "If you're «o smart, wfcjr aren't you rich?? From what I know about being rich it isn't easy getting that way and it isn't easy after you are rich. For me I'd rather have rich experiences in life that come from knowing and working with good common people. Last Thursdy night the Farm Bureau had as Tts guest all of the agriculture teachers of the county at a stag party to introduce the new teachers to the taking ways of thos« who have bees here a while or longer. Don Barrett at Huntley and Myron Grimm at Marengo were present, but Bill Pictor at McHenry was at home being introduced to the demanding ways of a brand- new member of his famiiy. Don comes' trdm Kane county and has been farming with pa. Pictor comes from Aviston, down in Clinton county in southern Illinois, where Holsteins and Genntfns make a terrific milk producing team for the St Louis market Qrimm cornea from farming in Wisconsin. Speaking of Bill Pictor's baby-- Someone asked me what I called my mother-in-law when we were first married. I called her "Say" the first year and after that I called her grandma. Of course, that's only a suggestion to you fellows who are just getting married. A Marengo farmer reported to me for your information that oats treated with murcury duat in preparation for seeding will kill livestock. It seems it takes a while for the poison to build up in the anipals body. He mixed It very lightly with untreated oats but it still killed pigs. The question has been asked many times whether the sludge from the sewage disposal plant has fertilizer value. The University of Illinois Agronomy department says, "Yes, some." If your land needB lime it has about onehalf the value of, ordinary agricultural limestone. The crops la Dakota are the best they hate s-ver been according to county agent A1 Strong at Wahpeton. Our corn seemed out of danger of froet If it wasn't last Monday night would have been the test It was 26 at Fare* according to the radio. Real estate note--land values in the Red River Valley are leSS inflated than anywhere in the midwest Say folks in that area. The new county veterinarian, Dr. VanDerVeen, starts this Week. He has been in the county a long time and has lots of friends and experience. His enthusiasm runs high and is contagious. Certainly the eradication of T. B. and bangs among the 105 bovine mortals per square mile we have in McHenry county should progress without falter; FOUO QFESTtO*fel> ' ^ Th« possibility that many Illinois cases reported as polio may actually be other disease* has been disclosed by Dr. Roland R. Cross, director of the state Department of Public Health. Dr. Cross pointed out that the Increasing incidence of reported polio since 1938 has been accompanied by a sharp rise in the proportion of non-paralytic cases. The department is conducting studies of cases which have occurred In Champaign county, where the reported polio rate has been unusually high this year, in an attempt to determine whether many cases classed as polio are really that disease or infeetion by other virus.
