PAGE 16-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 1973 Cliff Morris In Communication Project At U of I Group communications via computer between persons at many locations is being developed by eight students in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in a summer project supported by the National Science foun­ dation. Among them is Cliff Morris, senior in mathematics and computer science, son of Mrs. Monica Morris, 5222 Orchard drive, McHenry. They are working on a program to utilize terminals of PLATO, a computer-based education system developed at UIUC, but the idea also might be used with cable television, they say. Under a $10,900 NSF grant, they are preparing computer instructions which can be applied ft) any subject. An example of use would be a community plan proposal. Information would be provided through the computer and citizens would feed back questions, comments and ideas.

'73 Field Crop Harvest May Reach 22. J Mill ion This year's yield is expected to average 58 bushels per acre, compared with 63 bushels in 1972 and 60 bushels in 1971. Oats harvested for grain are ex­ pected to total 400,000 acres, 9 percent less than in 1972. The 550,000 planted acres are down sharply from the 1,250,000 acres planted in 1972, when much of the acreage was planted on government set-aside acres. Oat progress on July 1 was about the same as a year earlier but a little behind normal. Illinois farmers planted 80,000 acres of sorghums in 1973 and expect to harvest 60,000 acres for grain, down from 100,000 and 78,000 acres respectively, in 1972. Farmers expect to harvest 1.14 million acres of hay in 1973, slightly less than the 1.15 million acres last year. Alfalfa hay acreage is expected to be down slightly and all other hay acreage up slightly from last year. Illinois farmers expect to harvest 22.1 million acres of field crops in 1973, 11 percent more than was harvested last year, according to the Illinois Crop and Livestock Reporting service. Large acreage increases in soybeans, corn and wheat more than offset decreases in oats, sorghums and hay acreages. The condition of most crops on July 1 was generally reported as good, but the heavy rains and poor planting con­ ditions in some areas reduced stand and crop conditions. Development of most field crops was generally a little behind normal. Soil moisture as of July 6 was reported as 31 percent surplus, 63 percent adequate and 6 percent short. Illinois farmers planted 10.1 million acres of corn for all purposes in 1973 and expect to harvest 9.8 million acres for grain -- both 7 percent greater than 1972. For white corn, 49,000 acres are intended for harvest, compared with 39,000 acres in 1972. These acres are included in the total corn acres for grain. Planting of the 1973 corn crop progressed slowly up to mid- May because of frequent and abundant rainfall which caused muddy fields. Planting generally made rapid progress during most of the last half of May and early June, although rains caused occasional delays, particularly in the extreme south. With the slow planting this year, plant growth on July 1 was behind 1972. Illinois farmers planted 9.1 million acres of soybeans for all purposes in 1973, up 21 percent from last year. They expect to harvest 9.04 million acres for beans -- also 21 percent more than in 1972. By July 1, planting was nearly complete in most nor­ thern areas and about 90 percent state-wide. Planting was about 80 percent complete in the south where frequent rains delayed planting. Crop progress was generally about two weeks behind normal and last year. Stands were somewhat spotty and crop conditions reported mostly fair to good Wheat production is forecast to 39.7 million bushels, 27 percent less than the 1972 production. This year's average yield is forecast at 31 bushels per acre, down sharply from the 45 bushels in 1972. Crop conditions and grain test weight are down from 1972 in many areas of Illinois. The lower yields more than offset the 7 percent increase in acreage for harvested yields - resulting in the lower expected production Harvest was about 40 percent complete by July 1, behind both last year and the -average Oat production in 1973 is forecast at 23.2 million bushels, down 16 |>ercent from last year. Time is a file that wears and makes no noise. -H.G. Bohn. F acts are better dreams, if pleasant. than Set July 31 Deadline For Truck Licenses Michael J.
