INCOME STORM CENTERS OVER CASH-GRAIN FARMS The farm income storm is now centered in the cash-grain areas of the corn belt, and especially in central and eastern Illinois. While the cashgrain farmers in the corn belt have suffered, other farmers are relatively prosperous. This reverses the position of about five years ago, when the cashgrain operators were prosperous and many other farmers were suffering through economical stormy weather. CASH-GRAIN FARMS, CORN BELT. Net farm income pn cash-grain farms in the corn belt increased about 400 percent from 1940 to 1948 and has been trending downward since that time. On typical 240-acre farms the net cash farm income decreased from an average of about $8,100 a year in 1947-1949 to $7,200 in 1958. In 1959 drouth and lower prices cut returns on many of these farms by around one-third. On tenant farms these returns are divided between landlord and tenant. HOG P R O D U C I N G -- C A T TLE FEEDING FARMS. Net farm income on hog producing --cattle feeding farms in western Illinois and in Iowa also increased about 400 percent from 1940 to 1948, but it then dropped sharply to 1955. On typical 200-acre farms the net return decreased from an average of about $9,800 a year in 1947-1949 to only $4,600 by 1955. This sharp cut in income put these farmers in real trouble, while the cash-grain farmers were still making good incomes. After 1955 the incomes on hog producing -- cattle feeding farms began to increase, and by 1958 the returns were back up to about $7,800. Lower prices for hogs and lower profits on same, but not all, cattle feeding operations brought some reduction in incomes in 1959. DAIRY FARMS. Net farm income on dairy farms increased only about 250 percent from 1940 to 1948. The early 1950s brought some further increases, but lower prices for milk and cull cows cut incomes in the middle 1950s. An eastern Wisconsin dairy farm with 15 to 20 cows returned about $3,000 a year in 1947-1949, about $2,000 in 1955 and about $3,000 in 1958 and 1959. OTHER FARMS AND RANCHES. A typical 180-acre cotton farm in the southeast (Piedmont) made $900 in 1947- 1949 and $1,700 in 1958. A farm with 135 acres of irrigated cotton in the high plains of Texas made an average of $5,700 a year in 1947-1949 and $8,400 in 1958. A farm with 700 acres in the southern plains, with 300 acres in wheat and sorghum grain, had incomes averaging $8,300 in 1947-1949, $1,400 in 1954 and $6,400 in 1958. A western (intermountain) ranch with 125 cows had a net cash return averaging $7,900 ' in 1947-1949, $3,100 in 1955, $5,100 in 1956, $7,400 in 1957, $10,300 in 1958 and about the same in 1959. ^ The above facts about farmers' incomes should help to explain why the farm income storm is now centered over the cash-grain area of the corn belt, and especially over central and eastern Illinois.

Every qualified voter is entitled to participate and vote in the town meeting -- and a qualified voter is any person who is a citizen of the United States, 21 years of age or over, who has lived in the state for one year, in the county for 90 days and in the precinct or election district for 30 days. One of the most important powers of the electors at the annual town meeting -- coming up on April 5, the first Tuesday of April -- is the levying of. takes. They did not always have this power. In fact, for years taxes for general township purposes were levied by the cofinty board of supervisors on the basis of claims certified by the board of town auditors. The basis for the exercise of the tax-levying process by the process by the electors is the budget and appropriation ordinance. This ordinance is prepared in tentive form by the board of town auditors (supervisor, town clerk and justices of the peace), and is available for public inspection for at least 30 days prior to final action thereon at the town meeting. At least one public hearing is held on such budget and appropriation ordinance prior to adoption. Public notice of such hearing is given by publication in a newspaper if there is one published within the township; if not, notice of the hearing is given by posting notices thereof in five of the most public places within the township. At such hearing, as well as at the annual town meeting, any taxpayer can ask questions and make recommendations pertaining to the budget and appropriation ordinance. Previous to the meeting, the supervisor must prepare and file with the town clerk a full statement of the financial affairs of the township for the past year. The town clerk has the duty of not only recording this statement in the record book, but he must also read it aloud at the meeting. ed upon by the officers. To preserve this vestige of direct government, the Taxpayers' Federation of Illinois urges all qualified electors to attend their town meetings. MOTOR FUEL TAX Illinois municipalities have been allotted $3,286,680 as their share of motor fuel tax paid into the state treasury during February, the Illinois Department of Finance announced. GOAL CONSUMPTION Increase in coal consumption in electric power generation amounts to about six-fold growth since 1933, according to Dr. Hubert E. Risser of the Illinois State Geological Survey. It is in this market, Risser said, where the greatest growth in consumption of Illinois coal "occurred. Another increasing market for the state's coal is in the production of metallurgical coke. REPUBLICAN . CROSS STATES ATTORNEY "You don't have to be near the flames to have a fire snuff out your life!" The National Safety Council 'said this to point up the season when the number of home fire deaths reaches a peak. More than half the year's home fire deaths occur during f o u r m o n t h s -- D e c e m b e r through March. "Smoke and combustion gases," the Council said, "often are the cause of death in home fires, rather than flames." Fires are the leading cause of home death to everyone except infants and the very elderly, and are the No. 2 cause of home death to persons of all ages, Home fires take more than 5,000 lives a year and cost the nation billions of dollars. Your chance of surviving a fire depends on how well you know what to do. According to the experts, the odds are 1 in 100 that you'll ha^e a home fire during the next year. 1 in 20 you'll have fire within five years. * - Best way to stay safe from "tire, of course, is to prevent it before it starts -- don't smoke in bed, and have your heating system checked, for example. If you ..are unfortunate enough to have a fire, the Council said, your chances of coming out alive are better If you know these facts: 1. It's not' necessarily the flames from a fire that kill you. Rising heat -and combustion gases are just as deadly. 2. If possible, sleep with your bedroom door closed and the windows open. It will help keep out the lethal gasses that can end your life while you sleep. 3. If you suspect fire in your home or apartment, don't hurridly open the door. Check first to see if the door is hot. If it is, stay in yopr room. Get someone to call the fire department. Keep the door closed and get fresh air at the window till help arrives. JOSEPH FRETT h SON. INC.
