Lloyd Sfflflh collected a single and a triple and drove in one run. # Tim Farr brought our third amU most important gun in with a single. The game was ail exciting game as good defensive plays ended what could have been good innings fur both teams. Vern Petersen played a good game at first base and - Lloyd Smith tagged a runner out at the plate. Ted Freund pitched a good game, giving up six hits. ^ Side Notes: Joel Himpelinan's .375 batting average is high on the team. Joel has a Seven game hitting streak. The team's record now stands at nine wins and three losses. This is good enough for a second- place tic with Woodstock. First place Algonquin is 8 and 2. We have a cancelled game with them to make up and Friday's tie .with Crystal Lake w nil! also be rescheduled. «£« •£« • J* **« •£» •£« *|« •£* »J» •£* McHenry Country Club 4V ! oLJivol ; m ' \ j I Here are the proud winners ; of our championship tourna- ! ments and ringer tournament ; Club Championship - Floss O'Connell, 96-98-98--292.

Don't expect a column from me -- see you the following week! The Cards and Giants faced each other last Thursday evening in the playoff game for the 1962 Pony League championship; it was pure triumph for the Giants as the Cards waged a fruitless defense from the first inning and were shut out 5 to 0. The victorious Giants were appropriately feted on Father- Son Day, Sunday, Aug. 12, when Mr. John Neuharth ol the McHenry Savings and Loan accepted .1 he sponsor's trophy from Mayor Don Doherty and then, in turn, presented the manager, Gene Frost, and coach, Art Kreutzer, and each boy on the team with an individual trophy. Mr. Neuharth commended the boys for working as a united team in achieving their victory. Earl Walsh, treasurer of the Pony League, was maste|? of ceremonies for the opTasion. He expressed his appreciation to the other officers of the League for their cooperation during the year. Mayor Don Dohcrty was on hand to extend his thanks to the officers, managers and coaches for their work. He stated it is a real asset to McHenry to have a baseball League like this where adult leadership and parent p a r t i c i p a t i o n c o m b i n e w i t h good sportsmanship to afford such fine recreational outlets for the young men of the community. It was a great day for a grandfather, too, when Mr. John R. Schmidt was called from the stands by President Louis Swedo to share honors with his grandson, Ken Frost of the Giants, who was presented with an autographed baseball for 15 homers for the season, Ken was acclaimed also as McHenry's 1962 batting champ, with a 490 average, and given a certificate signed by Joe E. Brown, president of the National Pony League. Bob Swedo, who has served as the League's official scorekeeper for all games was presented with a watch in recognition. of his service. Play Ball! The fathers (who turned out in handsome numbers) could hardly wait to get a crack at the ball. It was with no small measure of gallantry that the sons handed over a doubleheader to the fathers. They ran the gamut of pitchers in learning dad still has an eye for the right pitch. After the games, everyone enjoyed hot dogs and a special COOKS CORNER by Marie Schaettgen For that bridge club or for any luncheon, salads are an ; ever popular favorite. This i shrimp salad may be used as | main course when served on lettuce on salad plate. Hot rolls (the brown and serve variety are good) make it more filling and infinitely more satisfying. Will serve six, or four more generously. Shrimp Salad 2 cans of shrimp 1 small stalk of celery 6 small pickles 3 hard-cooked eggs Paprika 1 sweet green pepper .1 small jar mayonnaise, thinned slightly with cream. Clean and flake shrimp. Cut celery and pickles into small pieces and the eggs into halves lengthwise, then cro««wise into small pieces. Mix all together i and chill until ready to serve, j Serve with mayonnaise on lettuce leaf or lettuce cups. I TRAFFIC DEATHS Traffic deaths in Illinois during the first half of 1962 j showed a sharp reduction of 17 per cent from the same I period in 1961, W. J. Payes : Jr., director of the Il'inois De- ; nartment of Public Works and j Buildings, has announced. | In 1961 there were 830 traffic accident fatalities during the first half of the year while this year's total for the first six months was 770 deaths, Payes said. Pointing out tha't July and August are vacation months for many Illinois families. Payes urged motorists to make every effort to emphasize safety in their driving. ; treat of cupcakes furnished by Dick Jager's mom and dad. Colt League Every effort is being made to return the Colt League (known as the Blackhawks) to | McHenry. Mr. John Neuharth | has indicated that the McHenry Savings and Loan will I sponsor the team. j Candidates are this year's | graduate division from Pony League, and any 15 or 16 year eld boy in the McHenry area. The Colt League, as does the i Pony League, will operate under adult supervision as a divi- ; sion of Boys' Baseball, Inc., | which, according to a bulletin just issued, is the new approv- ; ed parent title embodying the i former Junior-Pony-Colt Boys' I Baseball leagues.

FARM IDEAS SIFTED TO GET POLICY FOR '63 It's open season on farm policy ideas -- and Farm Bureau members throughout the state are beginning the arduous task of sifting through the ideas and opinions which will ultimately lead to the official Farm Bureau policy for 1963. Preliminary sorties into the field of consideration have taken place as the tentative resolutions committee of the Illinois Agricultural association compiles policy suggestions which have been made since the IAA annual meeting held in St. Louis last November. Some policy sug g e s t i o n s which have already been made have come from individual Farm Bureau members or from codnty Farm Bureaus. Based on these policy suggestions, the tentative resolutions committee has distilled, discussed, and refined sixty policy suggestions into sixteen broad topics on which further study and discussion will be based. The Farm Bureau policy making process -- unique in the field of policy determination -- works like this: Once the tentative resolutions committee has met and suggestions made to it by Farm Bureau members have been studied, factual material is prepared. This year, material was prepared on the following sixteen subjects: A review of the public aid program in Illinois; methods to evaluate proposed tax increases: relief for real estate and personal property taxes; improved auditing of county funds; a law requiring township highway reports to be approved by electors at town meetings: another look at school district reorganization: the national farm program and problems: inequities in soft wheat marketing; values of distributing surplus foods to needy foreign people; expanding regulations requiring health certificates for hogs being sold; hog cholera eradication program; facilities at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine; improved cooperative marketing; dual grading of beef: an improved state-federal crop reporting system; and dairy marketing. IrTmFAIIM NEWS Economist Simerl Says: The most important news of the year for hog producers is the spring pig crop report, which is released late in June. The report for this year shows that farmers cut their spring pig crop by 2 percent. This fact is interesting and important for several reasons. The cut insures good prices for hogs during the next six or eight months. But it does not seem to be in the long-time best interest of hog producers. Farmers reported that they plan to have 2 percent more sows.'farrow this summer and fall than they had last year. With normal luck, the increase in pigs saved would be only about 1 percent. This would be less than the growth of population, which is 1% percent a year. When hogs from these litters go to market next winter and spring, prices are likely to be near those in the first half of this year. In cutting the 1962 sprintpig crop by 2 percent, fanners did just the opposite ot what they reported to the USDA last December. At that time they said they planned to increase production by 2 percent. It is interesting to speculate why farmers cut hog production when prices were unusually favorable at breeding time. The official hog-corn price ratio averaged 16.8 from September through January. The 10- year average for the same months ie only 13.9. We suspect that the regular method of figuring the hogcorn ratio is no longer appropriate. The regular procedure is to divide the market price of hogs by the market price ot corn. But many farmers now sell their corn to the government rather than at the market. The market price averaged only 98 cents a bushel, but the government pricc was $1.20. I'sing this price for corn shows the hog-corn price ratio to have been 14.3 instead of t h e 16.8 listed in official papers. The unfavorable feature of the rut-back in hog production is this: The producers of pork ardr not holding their share of th^ market for meat. The relative shortage of pork causes consumers, especia lly the younger generation, to develop their taste for other meats. Expansion too fast, of course, also causes trouble, as hog producers know. The desirable course is one of mod* erate, steady expansion. Farm Adviser Burnett Says: Freshly stored hay that has a temperature more than 15 degrees above the outside temperature should be watched carefully. If the hay is heating, take the temperature in several locations five or more feet below the surface twice a day. Hot spots of 150 degrees F may be serious, and above 175 degrees F the situation is dangerous enough to warrant preparations to remove the hay. If the temperature reaches 190 degrees F, remove the hay to an open lot immediately and provide for stand-by firefighftkg equipment. A crude way to"check hay temperatures is to drive a 5 to 10- foot length of 'a inyh reinforcing rod or pi])e into ihe hav and leave it for some t ime. If any part of it is too hot tw hold in the bare hand immediately after removal from the hay. the temperature is probably above 120 degrees F and otiier methods of testing should be used. A temperature probe can i;e made from sections of 5 8 inch pipe 3 to 5 feet long and joined with couplings. The lower end should be hammered to a point and sharpened. Slots or holes at the lower end will cause the thermometer to register when lowered into the hay on a string. For convenience, make the top station with a pipe tee and use short pieces of pipe to form a handle. Drill a hole through the tee so that the thermometer may •>e lowered through it. There may be some living cells in stored hay that will continue to give off moisture. This is called sweating and will not cause trouble unless it acids o the problem of excess moisture when hay is not dry INSECT DAMAGE Thrips, a tiny insect less than one-twentieth of an inch long, are on the increase, especially in parts of Chicago •<Hiere they are causing much c!Sinage to ornate or privet hedges. Under high magnification, adults of thrips appear dark brown with white, red and yellow spots. Young of thrips are even smaller and are yellow. Thrips were inadvertently imported from Europe about 30 years ago and thrive especially on hedges and lilacs ; and some like onions and tobacco. Spraying the undersides of leaves with a mixture of two teaspoons of malathion emulsion concentrate per gallon of water every two weeks will d e s t r o y an i n f e s t a t i o n o f S thrips. , : Alfalfa was brought from India to Persia by soldiers, as horse feed; from there, the Saracens took it to Spain, fur the same purpose; the Spaniards brought it to New Mexico, California, and S o u I h America, still for the same purpose. enough for safe storage. The sweating may cause the temperature to raise to 155 degrees F for a few hours and then cool off. Temperatures | as high ,as 120 degrees F will i kill any remaining live cells, ; but bacteria in the hay may cause the temperature to rise as high as 160 degrees F.
