'"VJ HERE AND THERE IN BUSINESS FAIR AUCTION FALLS SLIGHTLY r BELOW LAST YEAR The McHenry County r air 4-H Auction fell a little short of the 19&8 gross but this was largely due to the smaller num­ ber of animals* sold this year. The 1968 total was $34,490 for 174 head while this year it was slightly less than $30,000 for 131 head. The auction was held in the new spacious livestock pavil­ ion on the east edge of the live­ stock area. Purchasers and spectators remarked about the added comfort and convenience of the new structure during the sale. Randy Scott of Richmond re­ ceived 75 cents per pound for his 955 lb. 4-H and Open Class Champion Steer. The purchaser was McHenry Sand and Gravel. This year's Rate of Gain champ was once more a pro­ duct of the Book farms of HaV- vard. Linda, daughter of the Hames Books, had the prize gaining animal this year re­ ceiving 65 cents per pound for the 1105 lb. steer. The pur­ chaser was the McHenry FS, Inc. Two directors, Earl John­ son and Russell Beard, were on hand to do the bidding. Connie Jeffers of Harvard had the Reserve Grand Champ­ ion of the fair, a very nice Angus, purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn Hilty of Wood­ stock. This was alsothe Champ­ ion Angus steer of the 4-H show. N Some purchasers of the other champions were the Vogue Cleaners of Crystal Lake, Hen­ ry Marlowe Feeds of Huntley and Dunham and Chemung Ins with Rockford District Wind Insurance. David Walker of Marengo had the Grand Champion 4-H Mar­ ket Hog and received 75 cents per pound from the Young Dem­ ocrats of Illinois, represented by Herb Franks of Marengo. The hog weighed 199 lbs. David's brother, Paul, had the Grand Champion in the Open Class, a 218 lb. animal that brought 55 cents a pound from the 1st Savings and Loan of Woodstock. Mark Hanson did the bidding. The Reserve Champion 4-H hog was owned hy Charles Mc- Kee of Marengo, and was bought by the McHenry County NFO. McHenry Redi-Mix bought the 4-H Champion pen of three from Kathleen Hallisy of He­ bron, paying an average of 30 cents per pound for the group. The Grand Champion open class pen of three was pur­ chased by the Marengo State Bank, Gluth Bros, of Wood­ stock and the Marengo Bakery. The latter donated their an­ imal to the Woodstock Chil­ dren's Home. Another donation to the Chil­ dren's Home was a 1034 lb. steer purchased by Lake­ land Construction of McHenry. The owner, Noreen Bauer of Ringwood, received 38 cents per pound for the animal. - The 4-H Champion Market lamb was purchased by Harms Farm and Grain Automation of Crystal Lake for 42% cents per pound. The 135 lb. animal was, owned by Bonnie Black­ burn of Hebron. The 4-H Champion pen of three was purchased by the Northwood Fur Farm and Ted Wickman, the latter taking two of the three. The Open Class Market Lamb was owned by Kim Kantlehner of McHenry and was purchased by Col. E. J. Teberg of Crystal Lake. The other two animals in the Champion Den of three were bought by Lindow Appliance and Harry Kinne. The Reserve Champion lamb Ws bought by the Cary Lions club for $1.10 per pound,- the highest price per pound of any animal in the auction. Clyde Slater of Cary owned the 83 lb. lamb. A run-down of the gross were as follows: 25 sheep, $784; 34 Swine, $2,739 and 72 steers bringing $26,459. These figures are unofficial and total $29,- 983.23 for 131 head. The Live­ stock Auction committee is ap­ preciative to all the buyers, new and old, who do so much to make the auction a success. The 4-H members especially appreciate the fact that the prices paid are generally high­ er than the market price, thus giving them more incentive to work with their animals through the year. * OPERATE MILL John Thompson has pur­ chased the building formerly owned by Burlington Consumers Co-Op Feed Co. William Shot- liff was manager of Burlington Co-Op. Now called the Spring Grove Mill, the Thompsons have remodelled the building and carry a full line of feed and siqiplies. MINERALS FOR DAIRY ANIMALS Be sure dairy cattle get ad­ equate phosphorus and salt while on pasture. A good plan is to give growing heifers and milking cows free access to a mineral feeder which contains both salt and a high phosphor­ us mineral such as dicalcium phosphate. In addition, yov* may also want to put about 1 pbund of dicalcium phosphate, mon- osodium phosphate or tripoly phosphate in each 100 pounds of grain mixture fed to the milking herd. HOT WEATHER TIPS High temperature and humid­ ity usually cause a feed intake reduction by cattle. Feedlot cat­ tle will consume the largest part of their daily ration during the night under such conditions. Fat animals are more suscep­ tible to heat stress because fat is a good insulator. When temperature and humidity are both above 90, let fat cattle have access to trees or other shade where air movement is not restricted. If the cattle must be maintained in small sheltered lots, spraying the cat­ tle with water may be neces­ sary. Check the salt and wat­ er supply. Selling heavy, well- finished cattle n*w be the eas­ iest way to avoiq heat prob­ lems. Local Golfers In Women's Golf Asso. Tourney The eighth annual Northern Illinois Women's golf associ­ ation tournament was held Thursday and Friday, July 31 and August 1. Originally sched­ uled to be held at Midlane Farms Country club in Wads- worth, the two-day event was moved to Thunderbird Country j^lub in Barrington because of too much water at Midlane.

A suspenseful sudden-death play­ off through the 175-yard 4th hole again gave Miss Drafke the championship when her drive put her within 8 feet of the cup while Mrs. McMeekan's drive landed in the left trap. A beau­ tiful blast from the trap plac­ ed Nina's ball inside Lois' drive. However, a slight case of nerves caused both women to 2-putt ending the match - Miss Drafke with a par-3 and Mrs. McMeekan a bogie 4.
