TAMMEUS B. S. T. (before soil testing) farmers in McHenry county couldn't raise enough hay and pasture to raise their own replacement cattle without a lot of labor and expense. Now. since soil testing was inaugurated in the county, many find they have to raise their own heifers to eat up all the extra hay and pasture tliey are raising: A local income , tax man who doe9 a lot of farmers' income tax returns says that almost without exception farmers who raise their own replacement cattle pay income tax and those who don't do not pay any tax. Of course, if anybody Wants to maintain a low standard of living just so he doesn't have to pay any income tax, let him go ahead. He should think of his family though --after all they do not have any choice of parents. In our Bangs program we are reminded of the story about the farmer's wife who woke up during the night just in time to hear the old kitchen clock strike thirteen. She reached over and shook Hiram and said, "Hiram, wake vup! It's later than I ever know'd it to be." Somebody Bald, "Why cry because steak is $1.25 per poqnd, chicken tastes good at 60 cents and I'm not so sure It shrinks in the frying pan as bad "either." The thing I hate to do is to buy high priced meat and then see it shrink in the pan on the stove. Speaking of flood damage, I saw a lot of it in Kansas last fall. In one place, the dirt had been plowed off the paved highway, where it crossed a valley just lilt# snow and lay piled on each aid# of the road up even with the car windows. In many towns, houses were still sitting crossways of the side streets and many were bunched up against rows of trees. Some were being moved back to their foundations and some were being moved out of the area entirely, according to what the owners could afford to do. In Topeka, just north of the river, we saw the worst mess. Houses were filled up to the windows with mud and debris for blocks In all directions. It certainly was the most desolate and hopeless looking sight I have ever seen Where humans were expected to reinhabit. It seems this always happVfs to the poor people who can't afford ^ V . ' October : mtlk production for Illinois was 6 percent below October, 1950, and 8 percent below the last ten-year average. This is caused by a reduction in number of cows and production per cow. Farmers in McHenry county report reduction in milk flow in all cows since they put them in the barn this fall. They blame poor hay and soppy hay silage put U& during our adverse summer. . Nationwide per capita milk production was only 1.88 pounds per person per day, the lowest for October on record dating back through 1930. National milk production per cow for October was 14.72 pounds per day, the second highest for the month in twenty-seven years of record. High was November, isso.

McHenry county had 7.1 percent of its agricultural .^H members awarded state project honors while the state average was 4.7 percent. In outstanding member awards we had 2.6 percent of our members receive state honors while the state average was .2.1 percent Only seven counties out of the 102 in the state had more state project honor members than we had and.sixteen counties had more state outstanding members than we had. We apparently do better in project work than we do in all around 4-H activity. I think this is because we have such excellent leaders in! our county as compared to much of the state that older club members are not thrown into leadership work because of no adult leadership available as is true in so many counties. We never have the problem of getting adult leaders that is so often reported in other counties. v , , < ; LIBRARY ACQUISITION .At collection qf some 650 letters and telegrams, plus manuscripts and numerous newspaper clippings,, comprising the private papers of Shelby M.

SELF EMPLOYED SHOULD APPLY FOR SECURITY NUMBER « Self-employed persons should apply now for their social security account number, urged Bernard Barnett. manager of the Waukegan social security field office. Although self-employed persons are not required to report their 1951 earnings until they file their income tax returns early in 1952, Mr. Barnett said that every selfemployed person who does not have a social security accountnumber card should apply for one now to be certain he has the account number when the tax report is made. Applications for account numbers can be obtained from the local post office, or by contacting the Waukegan social security office, located in , the post office building; Most owners or partners ih a trade or business who have net earnings of $400 or more a year are required by the new social security law to pay in full the tax of 2% percent of their net earnings. up to the first $3,(00 earned in the year, at the time the combined income tax and social security tax form is filed. This coverage of the self-employed is not voluntary, Mr. Barnett emphasized. Participation is required by the law unless net earnings from selfemployment are less than $40t a year, or if the income is derived from the ownership or operation *>f a . farm or from certain |f»> feasiolis excluded -by the UtW? such as. physicians, lawyers, dentists, professional engineers, pnblic accountants, and some othera.
