WEST BEND* From The Farm SORGHUM GRAIN FOR CATTLE * Some Illinois Npattle feeders may grow grain sorghum in 1971 rather than a corn variety sus­ ceptible to southern corn leaf blight. Sorghum grains contain about the same total digestible nu­ trients as corn, about two per­ cent more protein and one per­ cent less fat. Mineral content is about the same, but grain sorghum, unlike corn, has prac­ tically no Vitamin A, says Har­ ry Russell, University of Ill­ inois Extension livestock spe­ cialist. A cattle feeder should plan to use sorghum as high-moisture grain. Recent storage and cat­ tle-feeding experiments show that: 1. Grain sorghum should be ground whether fed dry or*fts high-moisture grain. 2. Average daily gains are about the same for ground high- moisture sorghum as for dry ground sorghum. 3. High-moisture sorghum can be handled and stored in •ashigh^mois- re sfiKted corn. Store sorghum as whole grain in oxy­ gen-free storage and grind it as it's removed from storage. Or it can be ground and stored in con­ ventional upright silos or bunkers.. Plaindealer Purchases Citizen Newspaper (Continued from page 1) the newspaper for the past ten years. The Plaindealer is affiliated with the Shaw group of 10 news­ papers in Illinois and Iowa. In making the announcement of the sale of The Citizen to The McHenry Publishing Co., Cummings said that it had be­ come increasingly apparent that it was economically impossible to maintain two aggressive pub­ lications in a community the size of McHenry. He also ex­ pressed the opinion that adver­ tisers and readers will be ser­ ved better as a result of the sale. Larry E. Lund, in discussing plans for The McHenry tCounty Citizen, said, "Our organiza­ tion will continue to publish The Citizen on a vireekly basis. We shall make every effort serve McHenry county and ' surrounding areas with out­ standing publications. Addition­ al equipment is now on order and we are formulating plans to further extend our services to readers and advertisers." Lund went on to say, "We do not contemplate any changes in the present staff of The Mc­ Henry County Citizen. The pub­ lication office will continue at 3932 W. Main street, Mc­ Henry".

By this time most of us have already broken our well-mean- ing New Year's resolutions, so here-Is a chance to start afresh with a resolve that is almost certain to keep more of those shrinking dollars in your pock­ et. "RESOLVED: I will begin planning now for my income taxes due next year (April 15, 1972) and will be careful to keep receipts cm any expen­ ditures that might conceivably be deductible, and a record of income from any source." If you failed to keep adequate records last year it is probably too late now to compile them for your income taxes due this April. The result, the Illinois State Bar association points out, is that hundreds of thousands of niinois taxpayers likely will either pay more taxes than necessary or will unwittingly file erroneous federal and state income tax returns. Either is costly. Most taxpayers with incomes in the upper tax brackets long ago learned the need for care­ ful tax-planning and the value of using professional tax coun­ sel. Unfortunately, 1SBA notes, many taxpayers in the under $10,000 tax brackets--the ones least able to pay unnecessary taxes--are the ones most likely to neglect tax-planning. To help you keep the above New Year's resolution, the ISBA has compiled a list of sugges­ tions that may save unnecessary taxes and certainly will save wasted time laboring over state and federal tax forms,* regard­ less of your tax bracket: 1. Keep records of all ex­ penses, even if you're not cer­ tain they're deductibles. (Let a tax expert determine this.) Your state income tax, inci­ dentally, is a deductible item on your federal income tax return if you itemize your deductions. However, the federal tax is not deductible on your Illinois t&x return. 2. Record and report all in­ come. This includes bonuses, savings, interest, dividends, and odd-job income from which there may have been no tax- withholding deductions. Even semmingly small income items On Drainage Project City Okays Agreement McHenry's City Council passed and approved an ordin­ ance Monday night accepting an agreement required by the state of Illinois concerning the Lake­ land Park drainage ditch pro­ ject. By terms of the agree­ ment, certain responsibilities rest with the city, particularly the maintenance of the drainage ditch after the work is com­ pleted. In the matter of the Fred By - kowski zoning hearing, the Council accepted the recom­ mendation of the zoning board of appeals which denies con­ struction of a 4-unit dwelling, but permits a duplex. An application to transfer Class "A" alcoholic beverage license from Esther Karbin to Martin Grennan, Jr., at the lo­ cation long known as "Mi Place" was approved. Engineers from the Baxter and Woodman firm were present to discuss the city's position on the temporary sewer line and lift station to serve the new Parkway school. It was agreed that the city would maintain the new installation, the cost to be paid by the school district. The engineers were also in­ structed to proceed with pre­ liminary investigation of the site for a new water well and storage tank. / up Hum uumiu i- uMm t _ t • • | HARVARD • THEATRE 21-23 N.

Be a pack rat when it comes to saving receipts, vouchers, cancelled checks. In Illinois it is advisable that such items be saved for 10 years, the pointy at which the statute of limita­ tions expires for written con­ tracts. You may be asked to produce those records for tax purposes, so have them easily accessible and in order. 4. Record medical expenses and contributions. Even though they aren't deductible for state income tax unless considered a business expense,"they may be itemized on the federal income tax return. 5. Speaking of contributions, individuals in the 20 percent tax bracket shouldn't give to just any charity on the theory that there are big tax advan­ tages in such donations; the deduction just doesn't pay off that much to taxpayers in low tax brackets. Give instead to those causes you believe In. 6. Keep records on future income producers--including corporate stock purchases and any significant improvements to your home, such as a room ad­ dition. These items may some­ day become reportable on your income tax return as a capital gain, and you will need records of original cost, the cost of improvements, and so on. 7. Rely on authorities. If you hive a question, check with the Internal Revenue Service, not a well-meaning friend. Or else, hire a qualifledtaxpractitioner. Also, use only those forms and schedules authorized by the IRS and the Illinois Department of Revenue. 8. Start now to organize tax records. The longer a taxpay­ er waits to organize his tax affairs, the more likely he is to overlook deductions to which he's entitled or otherwise fail to include in his calculations all the tax-saving measures that are available to him. Good rec­ ord keeping makes tax audits much easier for both the tax­ payer and the tax auditor, and in the long run less expensive as well. Criticism is usually more helpful, but less palatable, than praise. BY PETE PRITCHIE Washington, D. C.--Looking back) on the college bowls, this "coljumn can claim to have been accurate in predicting that the d e f e n s i v e N o t r e D a m e l i n e would be to6 tough for Texas. Of course, Texas players help­ ed out by losing five fumbles, or the game might have been a see-saw affair, as Texas out-' gained Notre Dame in total yardage. Tennessee whipped Air Force as expected but the Stan­ ford upset of Ohio State was unexpected in this corner. Neb­ raska looked good when it had to in whipping a fired up L.S.U. team. In fact, the three teams which seemed to be on fire in the bowl games were Tennes­ see, LSU and Notre Dame. The pressure seemed to get to both Texas and Ohio State. In enjoying the last flourish of college football, the brutal­ ity of the game remains the only sour note. It was unfor­ tunate to see Texas' star, who had pushed his term into scor­ ing range, fail to get up be­ cause of a head injury eight minutes before the end of that game-and this rekindled men- ories of injuries which seemed to fortuitously occur among key players against Notre Dame teams in past years. The Irish ha%e not been the only ones accused of taking out key play­ ers over the years, to win games. Of course, no one knows how much of^this still goes on, or how much went on in the past. Today's Irish coach, Ara Par- seghian, certainly doesn't teach or approve such tactics and the best view is to assume that nothing of this soYt^happens. Even dismissing intentional take-outs, there is too much f i g h t i n g , t o o m a n y i n j u r e d players being helped off the field in spirited college foot­ ball games to suit the thinking sportsmen. Such violence among p r o s i s a c c e p t a b l e ; a m o n g college students it should be reduced to the absolute min­ imum. BIRD FEEDERS Special Coupon Selling LOADING UP . . .
