The Recoi^JSS the official monthly publi$»jtlon of the Illinois Agricultural 'association. > The IAA is ~ the» ^statewide Farm Bureau organization. | "Make 'em Meaty" is the story of buying meaty or bacontype hogs at a premium price-in an effort to get farmers to produce hogs with leaner meat and less lard. The buying system is ope started recently by the Illinois Livestock Marketing association, an affiliated company of the IAA. Larry Colvis, manager of the cooperative marketing association, has this to say: "We think there will be1 a day when retail stores will' have a price differential for different grades of pork at the retail leveL Already som£,..*t*sres demand only top-quality cuts from wholesale meat dealers. Based on a livestock marketing demonstration held early in January at the Carfpll County Livestock Marketing - association at Mt. Carroll, the article tells how the merit system works in buying hogs from farmers. ] If the majority of animals in a lot are lean, meaty hogs, they command a maximum 25-cent additional price. Loads judged more fatty than meaty receive up to 25 cents below the average price and up to 50 cents a hundred less than the top paid for meat-type hogs, according to Colvis. SAVE AT BEN FRANKLIN!

By State Senator Robert McClory Residents of the 8th Senatorial District (Lake, McHenry and Boone counties) should weigh carefully their financial demands upon the state, it is almost as erroneous to feel that Springfield caln relieve us of any of ouf local financial responsibilities as it is to think fchftt ' hand-outs from Washington aVe in any sense "free." Members of the Illinois General Assembly are under extreme pressures to appropriate additional millions for our local public schools. Literally hundreds of our local residents, i.e., parents, school board members and. administrators, have communicated with the writer urging that the state's* share be substantially increased. Not a single voice in opposition has been heard. Present revenues from the 2 per cent .sales tax are not adequate to coveif such proposed appropriations, and while no constituents have opposed the additional appropriations there has been uniform opposition! to any Increase of the sales tax. This placfes a member of the Illinois General Assembly in a serious dilemma. On the one hand he is cautioned not to deprive the youth of our state of an adequate education. In almost the sarne breath he is warned "Don't increase taxes." The advice against increase in the sales t^xis especially sound in the three counties which the writer represents in the State Senate. (Lake county pays into the state treasury ?• /flip; h^ghtet amount per capita of ajnp ooumty ja JDJ&gis -- and received tlife lowest dollar return. ' In 1958 residents at Lake county paid into the state in all forms of state taxes an amount equal :to $74 per person. There was expended by the state in Lake county only about $17 per person. The ratio in McHerary county was $69 per person paid to the state to $19 per peroon received in return. Iq Boone county the ratio was $58 per person paid to $28 per person received. - In other words, in order to receive a single dollar of state-aid in Boone county, it costs the Boone: county .taxpayers more than $2 and in Lake county a dollar of state-aid costs $4.35. The* residents of the 8th district the folly of state-aid Ss further emphasized when it Is noted that in 1953, tyretVe couit* ties received 'more than they paid, in Pulaski county, for instance, each resident received $73 <# aglfct* aid fdr «su<h $36 .id the It -is:,;4uit<^fe^ obViottsthat if tfce jrtatfe assrt%e»-*- v--;- additional lobulations for iq<?ai purposes, the resident* .of JLtfjke, - , McHenry and Boone counties jrfll. continue to shoulder a <toprof»ortiooate shave of the increased tax kad.
