Ralph, assistant secretary of agriculture, signed an amended Order 41 regulating the handling of milk in the Chicago marketing area. Pure Milk association was notified officially this past week. The amended order was favored bymore than two-thirds of Order 41 dairy farmers voting in a recent referendum conducted by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The referendum on the order was necessitated by changes approved by the U. S. Department of Agriculture to strengthen the pricing provisions of the order and tighten the qualifications dairy plants must meet as shippers to the Order 41 market. These changes were proposed by P.M.A. at a hearing conducted 'by the department in June. The amendments will increase producer returns foi milk going into butter, cheese and dry milk and improve the blend or uniform price paid producers by an average of about 4 cents per hundredweight, according to P.M.A. President Avery A. Vose. The pricing changesjio not apply to Class I and II (bottled) milk and cream. Pure Milk association cast its vote in favor of the amended order as promptly as the referendum got under way. The amended order will become effective Sept. 1, 1961. The amendments will: 1-"-Combine Classes III. Ill (at and IV milk into one Class III. thus greatly simplifying the classification and pricing system under the order. 2-Put July through February in place of August through October as the months in which a country plant must ship a specified percentage of its receipts from dairy farmers to Order 41 pool plants to earn pbol plant status for the months of seasonally high production. 3---Permit a dealer Who owns more than one plant or has contracts for the entire milk supply of other plants to qualify as one unit in participating in the Order 41 market pool. the. pool-p 1 a n t qualifying changes will extend and increase the responsibility oi country plants to make Grade A milk available in the markel when needed. Pricing changes will increase the value of Grade A milk used for manufacturing purposes so as to put them in line with Grade B milk prices. These prices for Grade A milk have tod 'frequently been below Grfide B, Vose pointed out. Camera Club News U. s. FORCKS. KORKA Army Lt. Col.

The 1,200 away-from-home firearms deaths don't always involve hunting, according to the Council, whose records show only 1 out of 3 awayfrom- home firearms deaths results from a hunting accident. Ih Illinois, for example, more deaths in a recent year came from such assorted activities as playing with a gun. handling a gun and target shooting than from actually hunting. What actions led to the Illinois firearms fatalities? Handing a gun to another person and wrestling for a gun. for instance. One death came in a freak accident: Someone thought Russian roulette would be greater sport than hunling. How can firearms accident> 1» avoided ? 1. Treat all firearms as if they were loaded. 2.

Make sure all cartridges ha\e been removed from the weapon, 5.

This item has been temporarily set aside due to a slight conflict among some of the members who want to put up a ten-story structure, and spme of the others who want a tree house. One of the best suggestions was a boat house which could be run up and down river, with a special net for dragging prints to be washed. This idea was panned because of the cost of the winter upkeep, and the impractical use of the winters "hard water" for print washing. The upcoming field trip will be held at a farm in Cary on Sept. 17. The club will meet at Kotalik's Camera Center between noon and 1 o'clock •• on this day.

ORGANIZE NEW VCW AT CHRIST THE KING CHURCH A newly formed organization in the area is the Young Christian workers which meets at Christ The King churph L in Wonder Lake at 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday. This movement joins the already organized movements which meet at St. Mary's church in McHenry, and at the K. C. hn 11 in Woodstock. All are interested in studying the socio-economic doctrine of the church in relation to the problems which face young adults at home and work. The Wonder Lake group attended a meeting of the Y.C.W. in Waukegan recently. The following night the movement travelled to Algonquin to participate in a night of recollection sponsored by the Woodto^ k movement. Rev. Fr. Urhanvnn the speaker of the evening. His discussion included the position of the Y.C.W. member in today's world. The organization is open to all single workers who are out of high school.

HOG PRICES MAY HOLD UP BETTER THAN PAST FALLS The summer hog market has been better than we had expected. The principal reason seems to be that market supplies have not come up to expectations. According to government reports, sow farrowings wenl over year-before levels beginning last October. This change .suggested .that by May, market supplies would begin to exceed corresponding levels t of last year. So far, however, marketsupplies have been almost exactly the same as they were in 1960. Prices also have been just about the same as they were last sumqier. But what's ahead? Turning back tp the last pig crop report, we find that sow farrowings were almost exactly the same in January, February and March as they .had been one year before. But the number of hogs three to six months old on farms in ten leading states on June 1 was 6 percent above the year before. These figures imply that farmers saved considerably more pigs per litter this year than in 1960. But marketings do not yet reflect any increase in hog production. The only significant increase in sow farrowing last spring was in April and May. According to the government reporl, farrowings Were 9 percent greater in those months than a year before. A companion figure, the number of pigs under three months old on hand June 1, also snowed an increase cf 9 percent. For several vears farmers have been starting their pigs earlier. This year was apparently an exception. Farrowings in the first four months--December through March--of the spring farrowing season were unchanged from last year, but April and May show increases. This suggests that the market may hold up fairly well through the late summer and early fall. About 49 percent of the spring pigs were farrowed in March and April . These pigs will be coming to market mostly in October and November. Another way to look at the hog situation is to compare the number of spring pigs with the number produced the previous fall. We find that formers produced 22 percent more spring pigs than fall pigs. Last spring. I960, they produced only 10 percent more than in the previous fall. But that was very unusual. In the three years before 1960, the spring pig crops averaged 39 percent larger than the previous fall pig crops. For a really horrible example, we can gf> back to hogs dropped to $10 a hundred bered year, farmers produced a spring pig crop that was 70 percent greater than the proceeding fall pig crop And the:i we wondered why the price oi hops dropped .to $10 a hundred p o u n d s . . . . . . The fact that the 1961 sprinr pig crop is smaller than average,. in comparison with the previous fall crop, gives us reason to expect that the seasonal price decline will be less than usual this faP. When we have strong prices in the summer, the fall decline is usually mild In the three years 1956-58, the average decline was about 15 percent (S3) from the summer average to the last - quartei average. The market seems liekly to do as well or bettei this fall. L. H. Simerl Dept. of Ag. Econon: .

Your eating habits on a trip may determine the safety with which you drive. The heavy meal you eat at a roadside cafe can dull your reaction time and cause drowsiness. Beside the effect on your waistline of eating heavily and letting the calories accumulate as you sit in the car, your meal can noticeably slow your reflexes. The same feeling that makes you want to take a nap after dinner at home can suddenly strike you when you're speeding along an expressway. Having a snack while you're behind the wheel can also be risky. Reaching for food may make you lose contrdl of the car jus^ for the split-second necessary for you to weave into another lane. The same holds true tor paying attention to lighting a cigaret instead of the road. On long Irips, it's a idea to take a rest stop at least every hour or so. If you want to snack on <• something, this is the time to do it. A sandwich, fruit or something else easy to digest is best during such a stop. Another interesting food possibility during such rest stops are the liquid meals in a can. Carried cool in a thermos jar, such a meal in. a can provides nourishment and refreshment without making you drowsy. Watch what you eat on a long drive. You have to be constantly alert when you're behind the wheel. EXTEND CERTAIN H-BONDS ADDED TEN-YEAR PERIOD Some half-million Americans who own Series H savings bonds bought between SJune, 1952, and January, 1957, are in lor a nice surprise -- one that will bring extra money into i heir pockets. Harold J. Bacon, McHenry county savings bonds chairman, calls attention to a recent change in Treasury regulations permitting owners of these maturing H bonds to continue holding them for an additional ten years at a higher rate of interest, a straight 3% per cent annually. Mr. Bacon pointed out that these H bonds were originally issued to pay an average of 3 per cent annually for the nineyear, eight-month life of the bond. "In 1959, this rate was increased so as to bring the final yields to maturity up to a range of 3.12 per cent to 3.36 per cent. Under new regilations, these particular bonds, he first of which matures in 'ebruary, 1962, will return in •emi-annual interest checks a straight 3% per cent interest during the extension period. "Holders of these Series H savings bonds will be notified ijy the Treasury of the extenhn privilege granted them when they receive their next to last interest check. Owners will not have to do anything about extending their H bonds. This is automatic. As long as the H bond is not redeemed, the owner will continue to Iraw semi - annual interest •he^ks at the new higher rate of 3% per cent interest for a full ten years." According to British records, the Mayflower was valued at $750.00 in 1624, when it brought the Pilgrims across the Atlantic. Dedicate New Council Scout Center In Rockford Sept. 10 This Business - by Dean M. Clark Research workers investigated the problem of the 10 to 15 percent drop in milk production which occurs anually when the dairy cows are switched from green chop feed to dry hay each September. In order to prevent this drop, they tried Using alfalfa silage on all year-round basis. Hei-c is the way they set up their experiment: Group 1--Control group received only good alfalfa hay as roughage: Group 2--Received 25 percent of tfieiir roughage drymatter in the form of alfalfa silage and the rest in the form' of hay. Group 3--Received 50 percent of the dry-matter roughage as bilage and 50 percent as hay. Group 4---Received 75 percent of the dry-matter from silage and 25 percent from hay. TTie silage contained 10 percent grain to * provide a fermentable carbohydrate. All cattle • were fed, extra grain according t6 iiiilk production. The. second group receiving the 25 percent silage and 75 percent hay produced about 1.000 lbs. more 4 percent milk than the control group, ft either of the other silage fed groups consumed roughage to maintain top milk production. These workers concluded that this high energy alfalfa silage coujd -be profitably fed on a ^year-round basis and the September drop in milk production would be eliminated. By judicious use of this silage more milk production could be secured:. Hog cholera outbreaks are on the increase this year, according to a University of Florida veterinarian. He says many of the outbreaks in Florida are in unvaccinated herds. The veterinarian says authorities contend that if 65 percent of the population, either animal or human, is vaccinated against a disease for which an accepted vaccine is available the disease will not become an epidemic. There are several vaccines for , vaccinating swine against hog cholera. Proper supervision and proper conditions at time of vaccination will give a high percentage of protection against the malady.

Miller. Scout executive of the Blackhawk Area council. Except for minor details the new building is completed and in use. The new facility includes a conference room, a lobby and service counter, offices for the Scout executive, the assistant executive, the district exedf tives, the registrar, receptionist, the office manager, secretarial space, workroom and storage area. The building is located at 1800 7th avenue in Rockford. . The building is the culmination of the dreams and aspirations of Council Scouters for many I years. In 1959 a group of them got together discuss office facilities, for t space then being used by the Council had to be vacated. A generous offer became the basis for a program of expansion and development -- not only in office facilities, but camping areas as well. Committees were appointed, a campaign organization was set up and the new service center, new camp at Watersme Mich, and improvements at Camp Lowden are the results. The new Scout service center is the headquarters for the Council, which serves a sixcounty area," Boone. Lee, McHenry, Ogle, Whiteside and Winnebago.
