Perfect for the occasion is a hot casserole which can be prepared in advance, then reheated without further attention while the salad is tossed and'the bread is sliced. Set the table beforehand, too. and fix a surprise centerpiece by spelling the letters "H-A-P-P-Y N-E-W Y-E-A-R" on tall pilsener glasses which will be filled with the supper beverage, s p a r k l i n g b e e r . • • • • ' • ' ( - » ; Ham and Cheese Fondue 6 slices boiled ham 2 eggs, beaten 8 thin slices white bread 1, cup milk mustard 1 teaspoon Worcestershire % pound sliced American sauce cheese \U teaspoon Tabasco Using 4 slices of ham, make ham sandwiches, spreading bread with mustard,, if desired.

"Love, "Debbie Obstfelder "Village of Sunnyside" 168' Bushel Don Harrison, son of ]\Ir. and Mrs. Clarence Harrison of Ringwood, produced 168 bushels of corn for his FFA project this year. They started out with an old hog lot. Clarence planted three kernals every 28 inches, with a horse I planter, then he turned around : straddled the rows and planted | dewn the middles making 21- inch rows and a population in the neighborhood of 32,000. A total of 140 lbs of 50-20-20 was applied at each planting making a/total of 280 lbs. per acre. The corn was side dressed by hand later at the rate of 125 lb. of 33 percent nitrogen. Cultivation was by horse and the corn was later sprayed for vveefls. The corn was harvested with a one-row picker. 200 Bushel The November issue of Capper's Farmer has an article on farmers who. have cracked the 200 bushel corn barrier. None of these farmers used the same fertilizer, . the same corn, or used the same tillage methods; however, they all applied in the neighborhood of 300 lbs. of actual nitrogen, 250 lbs. of P205, and 200 lbs. of actual potash. Populations were all in the 20,000 plus area. FIRE DESTROYS LANDMARK The Hampshire feed mill, oldest landmark in that community, was destroyed by fire Tuesday morning about 7 o'clock.. Gene Rusk, owner of the mill, was unable to determine the amount of damage at j the time, but said a new mill all our weather is | and motors which were in&tallin the lowest layer I ed last September were saved. The rest of the mill was a total loss. Almost contained of the atmosphere, which extends only a few rpiles above the earth. This layer--called the troposphere--is about 10 or 11 miles deep at the equator, but only about four and a half miles deep at the poles. A drinking driver was involved in at least 30 percent of all fatal traffic accidents during 1957. complete the program person- i Usted as members of St. nel of the two-hour program, i Patrick's confirmation class T h e p r o g r a m w i l l b r i n g t o p I x v e r e A n n a a nd B r i g g e t t e rated entertainment to the . j eone j)r j0hn M.

In a stepped-up campaign a g a i n s t C h r i s t m a s h o l i d a y drinking and driving, the Council has asked its 8,000 business and industrial members to take a new look at their office parties'and either keep the cork in the bottle or eliminate the parties. The Council also is enlisting the support of churches of every faith and creed to keep the threat of drinking drivers to a minimum over the Christmas season. "We have no desire to dampen the Christmas spirit," the Council said. "We only want to eliminate a definite source of death and destruction on the highway." *•> ' Council surveys show that a drinking driver was involved in 55 per cent of the Christmas holiday accidents last year. Social drinkers -- not the obvious drunk -- are the big menace on the highway, the Council said. Car weavings of i he obvious drunk usually can bt detected or avoided, but the social drunk, whose critical judgment is impaired even with a small amount of alcohol, appears normal until his wits lail him in an emergency. Three hours are needed to work off the effect of two cocktails, the Council warns the social drinker. And coffee doesn't help. Only time will eliminate alcohol from the blood stream. The Council also warns that no one is liquor-proof, although some persons can tolerate alcohol better than others due to body weight and other physical factors But even some impairment can be a life or death matter at the wheel. Omitting liquor at office parties means that no drunken or tipsy drivers will leave parties tc injure or kill themselves or others on the way home, the Council said. VIRUS DISI In spite of past and present CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM Illinois highway construction plans for 1959 are being out- j lined in detail by Gov. William G. Stratton in a series of press c o n f e r e n c e s t h r o u g h o u t t h e state. In past years, Gov Stratton has announced the annual highway construction program at a conference with newsmen at his executive offices in the Statehouse in Springfield. Because the program has increased in size, the governor is announcing it by districts this year. tickets can also be made at the efforts to increase safety eduoffice of' the Children's home, j catlon and traffic enforcement too many drinking drivers are still operating on our streets Woodstock 2433 or 1749.

BMNEWS SIDELIGHTS FROM NATIONAL FARM OUTLOOK MEET / Sideline discussions at the National Agricultural Outlook C o n f e r e n c e i n W a s h i n g t o n brought out some important trends in farming not generally r e p o r t e d e l s e w h e r e . A m o n g these were the following points: 1. A succession of weather developments lifted farm income in 1958: First, unfavorable weather in the fall of 1957 • delayed harvest and sales of some crops until after Jan. 1. This added to income in 1958. Second, winter freezes in the south trimmed production, raised prices and boosted, returns from fruits and vegetables. Third, rapidly improving range and pasture conditions caused ranchers and farmers to slow their sales of cattle. This boosted total returns from both cattle and hogs. Finally, very favorable weather over most of fhe United States produced exceptionally large crops. The big -production, together with price supports, provided l^rge income from the sale of crops. Altogether, these weather developments lifted net realized farm income for 1958 about one-fifth above that of 1957. Some of these weather effects will fade out in 1959, and farm income will decline accordingly. 2. Producers in other .regions believe that they can make good profits from producing products now being produced mostly in the corn belt. Here are some examples: First, many farmers in the south think they took the broiler business away from the corn belt, and they believe they can take the hog business too. Hogs at $18 to $20 would make very attractive profits for southern farmers. Second, the production of sorghums and other feed grains ^ in the southvpest is being greatv ly stimulated by price supports: Increased production ° is being achieved principally by the development of new hybrid varieties and by increased irrigation About 60 percent of the sorghum grain that is produced is "sold" to Uncle Sam hj* way of price support loan£ A f t e r t h e g o v e r n m e n t t a k e s over the grain, it is sold at cut rates, for export or domestic use, in competition with corn. Production of sorghum grain this year is estimated at 639 million bushels. This will provide almost as much feed as will be provided by all the corn and oats grown in Illinri" in 1958. V In the far southwest, corn is often the most profitable crop, except for cotton, that can be grown on the newly, irrigated lands. In Kansas, and probably in oth£| dry areas, land can be purchased and wells and irrigation equipment provided for less per acre than the price of corn-belt land. 3. Large-scale farming is enveloping rapidly, especially in the livestock enterprises. For example, one "farm" hag 250,- 000 laying hens. Eight to ten others have 100,000 hens or more. A semi-cooperative da'iry farm in Iowa has over 800 dairy cows. In Utah, cows belonging to several farmers are handled in one herd, the profits being divided among ttb farmers who furnish the cows, There are several such herds. This practice has been growing since 1939. In New Jersey, a large herd of dairy cows is owned by the workers who care for it. These are but a few examples of the important developments that are influencing f a r m i n g a n d f a r m e r s t h e £ > days. L. H.
