Director Stillman J. Stanard said ihree more counties--Hancock, Massac and St. Clair--have been certified to use the plan under which state and federal governments pay indemnities ' to owners of diseased cattle when they are slaughtered. This makes 52 of the state's 102 counties which have voluntarily applied to use the plan. Stanard said he is empowered by law to declare the counties areas of testing whether or not they request it. To dati?. th ecounty boards have taken the initiative, he said. Bovine brucellosis, or Bang's disease, is passed on to humans as un dulant fever. It is contracted persons drinking unpasteurized milk from infected cows or goats or by contact, with infected animals, or their meat products. READ THE WANT ADS tog Supplies Are Favorabl Hog prices seem likely mbin favorable to producers for another fifteen to eighteen months. This does not mean that prices will be so high as they have been in recent months, but rather, that well managed hogs will pay. more than market prices for the corn fed to theni. Farmers are cautious. They show no signs of suddenly flooding packing houses with pork as they did in 1955. These tendencies are apparent from the quarterly Pig Corp report released recently by the USDA. Market hogs (1957 fall pigs). Farmers are marketing hogs' promptly as they reach desirable slaughter weights. The first of March they had 5 percent more hogs over six months old than they had last year, but this was in line with the 6 percent increase in farrowings last « June - August. Hogs three to six months old numbered 1 percent more than the year before and will constitute most of the market supply for the April-June quarter. Spring pigs (farrowed December- May). There were 12 percent more pigs under three months old on farms March 1 this year than last. This figure reflects heavy losses at farrowing, because 15 percent more sows farrowed this past December-February than the year before. Farmers expected to have only 1 percent more sows farrow in March-May tljan they had last year. Altogether expected spring sow farrowings (December-May) were reported to be 6 percent more than last year, but most of this increase is in "winter" farrowings, pigs already on the ground March 1. This will add to the slaughter supply for July-September--not to the usually big ^October - December supply. 1938 fall pigs. Farmers iniicated that June-August farrowings would be up 13 percent over last year. This period covers the first half Aof the official fall farrowing Season and usually includes aboi|t half of the total fall pig crop Farmers did not report their farrowing intentions for the last half of the fall season. There are good reasons to believe that the increase will be much less in the last half of the fall season than in the first. For example, last fall June- August farrowings increased percent., while there was no increase for September-Novemtber. This spring there >is ah Increase of 15 percent in farrowings for December-February, but an intended increase of only 1 percent for March- May. These changes are part of a trend toward more uniform year-round production. . Many farmers are still looking back over their shoulders PLAINDEALER to 1955, when hog prices hit bottom late in the year. Although "hog production is increasing, , prospective supplies per person, .are far less than those suddenly pushed at consumers in ^955-5^. Reported percentage increases in hog production may 'be reduced by nearly two points to adjust for the increase in population. Thus the increase of 6 percent in the spring pig crop would make only 4 percent more hogs per person. The 1955 spring pig crop totaled 57.7 million head. The prospective spring crop for 1958 is only 55 million head. Thus this pig crop is 4 percent smaller than that of three years ago, while population is 5 percent greater. The reduction under 1955 therefore amouhts to about 9 percent per person. - " r f . While prospective pork supplies are moderate, prices may suffer this year because of increased supplies of beef and poultry and shrinking consumer demand. Next year the pressure of beef supplies may be eased, and we can hope for a recovery of consumer demand. L. H. Simerl Dept. of Ag. Ec. 4-H NEWS The Busy Three 4-H Club met March 28 at ^he McHenry high school under supervision of the assistant leader, Ed.

Stratton and top state government officials met to discuss ways to speed up the $660,000,000 Illinois public works programs available this year.

Stratton stressed that Illinois 'isrt. in a position now to make the funds available for the proposed constructions, and no special session of the General Assembly will be needed to implement the programs.

RULES HELP SPACE PILOTS PUT KITE SAFELY IN ORBIT If the little space pilot in your home is preparing to launch his kite into the atmosphere, observance of a few rules will help lum put it into successful orbit. "Remind your youngsters, to avoid a possible hazard involved • in this popular spring sport," advises W. B. Behnke. local district superintendent for -Public Service company/ Mr. Behnke makes the following suggestions: 1. Don't fly a .kite near electric wires. 2 Don't climb poles, or enter fenced-off danger areas to retrieve a snagged kite. As the National Safety Council slogan reads: "Better Lose a Kite Than Lose Your Life." 3. Never use metal in the construction of any part of a kite,' including tail and string. 4 Don't fly kites during an electrical storm, or when the string is wet. Kite flying can be all fun if it's done safely. So when your child goes out to enjoy ,the "sport of kids," have him go to an open, level, area away from traffic and obstructions.
