Expenses Show Decade's Closest Balance Most news that comes to taxpayers these days is of the unhappy variety, but this week at least one announcement ipvas more gratifying to the public. The U.S. Department of Commerce. Bureau of the Census, revealed that 1961 marked the first year in nearly a decade that state revenues and expenditures weraCso closely in balance. Revenues of state governments from all sources totalled $34.6 billion in fiscal 1961, or 5.4 per cent more than in 1960. State government expenditures rose 9.8 per cent and amounted to $34.7 billion in 1961. State tax revenue was up 5.7 per cent in 1961, with general sales and gross receipts taxes providing $4.5 billion. VThis category supplied 24 per cent of total state tax yields "n 1961, even though fifteen states did not levy this kind of tax. The next ranking source was the sales tax on motor fuel, which produced $3.4 billion, and tobacco sales tax revenue was up 8.5 per cent to a record high of $1.0 billion. Sales taxes on alcoholic beverages totalled $688 million. Four major programs shared in state general expenditures. They spent $9.8. bullion for education, up 10 per cent more than in 1960; $7.5 billion for highways, up 2.4 per cent; $3.9 billion for public welfare, up 5.6 per cent; and $1.9 billion for hospitals, an increase of 8 per cent over 1960. Farm Adviser Burnett Says: Atrazine has been used locally to control quackgrass for the past three years. It's the most reliable control I've observed. In the spring it has been used successfully in two ways: 1. as a 4 lb. application as soon as the quack grass starts to green up -- its not too early now. Wait at least 3 weeks before plowing; 2. Or as a split application. 2 lbs. now and 2 lbs. later as a preemergence application immediately after corn planting. The above and other complete information is contained in a new weed circular from the U. of I. -- ask us for a copy.

This was 1.0 million less than at the same stage of the 1961 program and 2-1 million acres less than was signed last year. By March 8 they had signed to reduce barley planting by 1.7 million acres. There was no barley program in 1961. Additional acreages of corn, sorghum grain and barley land have been signed up since the report dates, but the total idle land seems likely to be less this year than in 1961. *Less Strenuous "Sport" May Prove Bit Of Health Hazard One of the less strenuous "sports" of the current season is mushroom hunting. Now the experts assure us anyone who uses common sense can gather them With safety, using the main guide, which is learning to identify the "big four" eatable kinds*. One of these is the giant puffball -- white, round and Conspicuous. It can't be mistaken for any other mushroom as .^there is no stem running through it. The meadow mushroom "is grown commercially and must be purchased at a store aiid examined to determine how it can be recognized. The morel, or sponge mushroom, is the most commonly hunted, and once you have seen it you can easily distinguish it from the common toadstool at a glance. The last of the "big four" is the oyster mushroom, so called because of its shape. The stem is not attached to the center of the cap( but on one side, and its most distinctive features are the gills that run down into the stem. Our first impulse was to embark at once upon a mushroom hunting expedition. Then we remembered the McHenry {§,county man who died during the past year when the attractive, growing species he was sure were mushrooms proved to be toadstools. This man regarded himself as an expert, which prompts us to leave the mushroom labeling to the commercial growers. Economist Simerl Says: Farmers may produce about as much feed grain this year as they did in 1961. Apparently they will plant more acres, but average per acre yields may be lower. Fewer farmers are signing up to idle feed grain land. And they report that they intend to plant more corn and sorghum grain than they planted last year. Up to March 22 they had signed up to idle 16.0 million acres of corn land. This was 3.0 million acres less than had been signed up at the same stage of the 1961 program and Expert Dean Clark Says: With the 1962 calving period at hand, it is essential that the beef herd owner take a careful look at his feeding program. The production of mills necessary to grow a strong, husky calf requires proper feeding of the dam. In most cases the total amount of roughage fed to cows is ample. The biggest problem is balancing the ration. It has been shown that rations which consist of lowquality non-legUme hays are definitely low in protein and minerals. Adult cows that are fed a ration of this kind also should receive 1-1% lbs. of protein supplement daily. Cows fed corn silage and low-quality hays also should receive 1 lb. of a high-protein supplement which contains at least 40 per cent protein from now until they are turned to pasture. GIRL SCOUTS Brownie Troup 436 Brownie Troop 436 enjoyed a trip to Chicago Tuesday by train from Crystal Lake.

Children who went as guests of the troop were Laura Sweeney, Billy and Terry Herkes, Billy Nye, Carol and Tim Wilt, Susan Reihansperger and Tom Uttich. IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE Economists ^ Argue Controls Everyone who knows farm people knows that many of them have serious income problems? Public programs for dealing with these problems have been tried and discussed for as long as most people can remember. One type of program, production controls for livestock producers, was discussed recently for two days at Purdue university. The occasion was the annual meeting of the National Institute of Animal Agriculture. Speakers incl u d e d economists from government service and .state universities, representatives of agricu 11 u r a 1 businesses and farmers. They brought out several important facts that should be of concern to all citizens. One economist, arguing for controls, said that farmers could have reasonable prices if they accepted controls, but not otherwise. Significantly, he did not say what prices would be considered reasonable, nor how much farmers jould sell at those prices. Another economist, not an official of the USDA, indicated that the goal , of production controls would be to maintain livestock prices near present levels. He also said that so long as some people are willing to work in agriculture at low prices we cannot raise labor returns in farming much above present levels. In a question period one man asked a panel of experts whether farm production controls had really worked in any country. No one on the panel, which included two widely traveled farm economists, Could name any such nation. Another economist pointed out that production controls could be in conflict with our overall national price policy. Price stability is a cornerstone of both our domestic and our foreign economic policy, in view of our balance-of-payments position. (Remember steel?) There is no way to accurately forecast the effects of production controls upon food prices and the, rest of the economy. If prices of food rise under a system of supply management, the government will hear forcibly from consumers. A rise of only i percent in the " c o s t - o f - l i v i n g " i n d e x w o u l d call for immediate wage increases of 2 to 3 cents an hour for two million workers, largely in manufacturing industries such as farm implements and automobiles. Wage increases in these industries would set a pattern for similar raises for other wage earners. These would COUNTY NURSES WILL HEAR PANEL ON CIVIL DEFENSE The McHenry County Nurses' association will meet Thursday, May 10, at 8 o'clock in the dining room of Memorial Hospital for McHenry County. A timely program on civil defense will be* presented by a panel of three men, who will discuss various aspects of preparedness in this field. Al. Querhammer, who is McHenry county civjl defense chairman, has been very active and interested in this program for a number of years. "He has spent much time and effort in keeping abreast with the latest developments so that McHenry county can have an efficient and expedient plan of action should a nuclear attack take place. • Dr. J. B; Palenske, county veterinarian, has also been keenly interested in civil defense, having had special courses at the University of Illinois and attending several seminars dealing with this subject. Bertram Hanson, administrator of Memorial hospital in Woodstock, will brief the nurses on plans for the hospital in the event of such an attack, or any other major disaster which might occur. This is an excellent opportunity for all graduate and registered nurses in the county to learn what is being done in this community about civil defense. There will be no summer meetings, but an outstanding speaker has been engaged for the September meeting.

This would offset, in part at least, any price gains that farmers obtain by production controls. It would also put the United Stales at a further disadvantage in selling both farm and industrial products in other countries. It would hinder our efforts -"to maintain our gold reserves and extend aid to the developing nations of the free world. I.. H. Simerl Department of Agricultural Economics G1 loan entitlement will end for some World War Two veterans on July 25 of this year. John B. Naser, manager of the Veterans Administration regional office in Chicago, said this week that a home loan may not be guaranteed or insured a£ter a veteran's entitlement" expires unless the lender's loan application or loan report is actually received by VA prior to the termination of the l>orrower's eligibility. This holds true, he explained, even though the veteran may have contracted to purchase a home and may have applied to the lender for a GI loan before the entitlement expired. School Lunch Group Meets The McHenry County School Lunch association will hold its May 8 meeting at Northwood school on Rt. 47, Woodstock, at 7:45 o'clock. Members are reminded to have all questions ready for the question box jupon arrival. 14-YEAR-OLDS ARE LIMITED TO SHORT WORK WEEK Because of misunderstandings among employers and young people alike, many may benefit by information contained in the fair labor provisions of the Fair Labor Standards act. Fourteen years is the minimum age for employment in the limited number of occupations which do not require a- 16 -or 18-year minimum, but children 14 and 15 may be employed only outside school hours and only under specified conditions of work in accordance with regulations issued by the secretary of labor. One of these calls for a maximum of three hours on any school day and eight hours on any non-school day. Another stipulates a maximum of eighteen hours in a week during any part of which school is in session, and forty hours in other weeks. All work must be performed between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. A county cannot lease its property for oil and gas purposes, Attorney General William G. Clark advised State's Attorney Richard Stengel of Rock Island county. However, Clark's opinion held, where the county owns the surface as well as the mineral rights in property, it cculd sell qjid convey by a mineral deed the mineral rights to such property.
