Suddenly, with those tape recordings 111 the drawer of IS 1 list net Court Judge Fdwin Robson, the coal dealers didn't want to go to trial Suddenly they were ready to make a settlement ready to sign a consent decree and pav damages. Perhaps they felt this time around. 111 Federal court, they would lose So, before the federal case had a chance to come to trial, the coal dealers agreed to settle with lhe Attorney General, who now also was representing over seven thousand private consumers 111 the Chicago area as well as the public- institutions. The settlement finally agreed upon was $2.3W),000 in cash and future credits In effect, the coal dealers agreed to pay back the total amount of illegal overcharges for coal, and agreed never to engage in price-fixing. The final settlement came in October, 1973, and seven months later, on May 24, 1974, after reams of paperwork, 7,789 checks totaling $1,469,825 were mailed to Chicago area consumers, while eight governmental units and other institutions received checks totaling $259,102.. including S1H9.448 for the Chicago public schools. The settlement's future credit provision for all consumers who received refunds is $1.28 per ton of coal for purchases made in the next two years from the retail coal 'dealers involved in the settlement. 'The Attorney (.eneral's office was awarded $111,900 in attorney's fees, which I chose to pass on to the consumers, i There is no question that this was a major case of great lienefit to both individual and institutional consumers. However, it still did not include a criminal conviction: A harsh slap 011 the wrist in the form of monetary restitution to those overcharged -- yes But though the Illinois Antitrust act provides criminal penalties, no Attorney General yet had been able to get a criminal conviction...in this case or in Urn other Antitrust case in llinois history But we decided to try again: This time in a case involving the price-fixing of wholesale beer in the Decatur area. That case, involving another Illinois Supreme Court fight, will be explained in another column. Finding Security In Retirement Prices for heavy, overfat steers have been taking a beating recently, but it may be better to take the present financial loss than to risk death loss from heat stress this summer, say s George Young, McHenry county Extension adviser with the University of Illinois The fatter the cattle, the more they will suffer from a combination of high temperature and humidity. Fat cattle cannot give off body heat as fast as they produce it when the.temperature is above 85-90- - degrees, and thre^umidity is 85 percent or more. This leads to a rise in body temperature which can, if high enough, cause the animal to become more active, going into convulsions, and resulting in death Young makes the following recommendations to cattlemen when hot, humid conditions exist: -- Spray cattle with Water. Too much cold water car^be a shock to the animals, but' that risk will have to be taken, ii the cattle are in serious trouble. - Remove barriers which prevent air movement needed to cool % the cattle. Unfortunately, the combination of extremely high temperature and humidity are often associated with very little air movement. -- If a pasture with shade is available, turn the cattle out rather than keeping them in a confined, poorly ventilated lot. - Avoid feeding fat cattle in the morning of days you know will bring extreme heat stress, since body heat is increased during digestion During periods of hot weather, cattle eat the largest part of their feed during the night and early morning. However, total feed intake will fall off. When the weather cools, feed consumption will again pick up. Oijiee consumption increases, be sure to regulate intake so as to avoid overeating and foundering. -- Minimize the feeding of roughage in hot weather unless 'it is to thin, growing animals. More body heat is produced from digesting roughages than from grains. -- Make sure that salt and \rpter are available and that tne tank is clean so that the cattle will drink the water they need. -- If fat cattle are marketed in hot, humid weather, an obvious precaution is to move and load them at night or in the early morning so that they will not be transported during tne time of peak temperatures. -- The best solution for heat stress in feedlot cattle, Young says, is to market them before they become overfat and before an extended period of hot weather. v SCABBY GRAIN Cool, wet weather has been ideal for the development of scab in wheat and small grains, says George Young. When severely infected with this fungus, extreme caution must be used in feeding the grains to breeding animals, he adds. Scab produces several mycotoxins which may cause problems in breeding animals, observes Young. Swelling of the external genitalia, vaginal prolapse, enlarged mammary glands in sows and gilts and testicular atrophy in boars can all be caused by feeding scabby grains. Other reproductive symptoms that might appear are abortion, fetal resorption, and sterility. Refusal to eat and reduction in milk production have also been noted along with problems such as vomiting, dizziness, and diarrhea. Scabby wheat kernels are easily removed by cleaning equipment, says Young However, scabbed barley and oats kernels are difficult to separate from healthy grain.

Scabbed grain or silage can usually be safely fed to fattening cattle, reports Youpg. But extreme caution must (be used in feeding it to daifry cattle, beef cows, horses, and swine The best way to feed scabby grain to dairy and beef cows is to mix it in the grain mixture -- making sure the percentage in the ration makes up no more than 5-10 percent of the mixture. If no problems are noted, the proportion of scabby grain may be increased slightly. Scabby grain should not be fed to pregnant sows or small pigs For finishing pigs over 100 pounds, replace not over 10 percent of the corn in the ration with scabby grain and try it on a few head. If they eat it okay, go ahead and feed the grain at this level. If the pigs will not eat it, try 5 percent scabby grain and 95 percent corn. If they won't eat this mixture, do not feed the grain to hogs. It should be sold to an elevator or a cattle feeder if the elevator discount is too great. PRUNE EVERGREENS Most trees and shrubs around the home need annual pruning maintain a good size relationship or .scale between the home and itl plantings. In addition, pruning can maintain the natural beauty of the plants and keep them strong. Since new growth stimulated by pruning needs time to harden off before winter, evergreens should be pruned before the end of July. Deciduous shrubs that are presently blooming or have bloomed since the middle of June should not be pruned until they are dormant - February or March. Cacti are becoming increasingly attractive to an expanding circle of admirers. According to George Young, University of Illinois adviser in McHenry county, the symmetrical shapes and patterns of the spines blend well with modern architecture making cacti quite "contemporary." Also, the ability of these plants to withstand a considerable amoEint of neglect enhances their popularity as a house plant. By following a few simple rules, an interesting collection can be grown in a sunny area of any home. A good general soil mixture^' < for cacti consists of equal parts of soil, peat, perlite and coarse torpedo sand. About a tablespoon of bone-meal to every quart of soil is also helpful In potting cacti, plenty of drainage material should be put on the bottom of the pot. After pottipg, the plant should not be waffered for about a week to allow,damaged roots to heal. Proper watering plays an important part in getting cacti to produce flowers. By imitating the natural rainfall cycle of the desert, the plants can be stimulated into a rewarding display. From May to October the plants should be watered whenever they dry out. Durinetha writer months the planfarshould^be, kept in a cool place and water applied only if the plants begin to shrivel. As day length increases in spring, water application should be increased to stimulate the flowers. Cacti grown indoors should get as much light as possible. If the plants are set outside during the summer, provide some shade to keep the plants from being sunburned. «. The range of cactus varieties available is quite large but for first time collectors mammillarias, rebutias, echimopses, gwnnocalycium and parodia arA^ood choices because they are small- growing and flower very freely while still quite small.

SttttM Pac* MILK CONSUMPTION The most important development in the dairy industry during the last few months has been the fact that milk consumption has dropped faster than milk production, which has resulted in a sharp decline in the prices paid to producers for milk, reports the fecent University of Illinois Farmer's Outlook Letter. The price of milk used for fluid-milk purposes in the Chicago Federal Order Market increased from 17.14 per hundredweight in May, 1973, to $9.69 per hundredweight in May of this year - an increase of nearly 22 cents a gallon. However, the price paid to farmers for milk used for fluid purposes decreased by 3.5 cents a gallon from May to June. The prices paid to farmers will decrease almost another 7 cents a gallon in July. Ttye price of whole milk at the retaiWeVel i n U r b a n a - C h a m p a i g n increased from $1.17 per gallon in May, 1973, to $1.59 per gallon in May, 1974 - an increase of 42 cents a gallon. In that market, milk prices at the retail level have not, as yet, reflected the recent decreases in raw milk prices. The prices paid to producers for fluid-milk purposes will probably continue to decrease through August. Imports are also contributing to this decline. There probably will be some recovery in milk prices during the fall months. The Minnesota-Wisconsin price, wljich serves as the basis for pricing milk in Federal Order markets is expected to average $7.40 per hundredweight in 1974, which means that the producer blend prices will probably average abjftut $8.10 per hundredweight in the Chicago Market. The mata reason for the recent milk price declines is a sharp decrease in the consumption of some dairy products. Class I sales (fluid- milk products)are down by over 5 percent from a year ago. Cottage cheese and whole-milk consumption have dropped sharply. The decrease in the comsumption of dairy products is due to the rapid rate of general inflation, which led to a reduction in real personal disposable income during the first quarter of 1974. A second reason is that the retail prices for milk and milk products were up by 25 percent from a year earlier. High milk prices encouraged a greater use of substitute products, including PAGE 7 -'PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, JULY It. 1»74 nonfat dry milk powder as well as imitation milk products in some markets. There is a complete imitation milk product currently being sold in St. Louis. The price is 99 cents a gallon, compared to $1.40 a gallon for 2-percent milk. Milk production for the first five months of 1974 was 2.6 percent below the same period in 1973, and 5.1 percent below the same period in-1972. For 1974, milk production is estimated at 114.4 billion pounds - about 1 percent less than in 1973 and 4.6 percent below the 1972 figure. Milk production per cow in 1973 was lower than in 1972. This was the first time in thirty years that production per cow declined on an annual basis. Production per cow in 1974 is expected to increase. The number of milk cows will probably decrease by 2 percent in 1974. The reasons for these changes include high feed prices, high farm wage rates, and high returas from alternate enterprises. During 1973, high cull-cow prices encouraged closer culling. The milk-to-feed price ratio, which reached its lowest level since 1955 in July of 1973, has improved and is 9 percent higher than a year ago. As a result, production per cow is expected to increase again. 3277 10-1* For summ»r fun you mut t ho»« a j ump tu i i Motre th i t on* long or ihor l , th t br i t f v r t ion i t r ight in l in» wi th th» tmoton ' t rag• for thm pants dr t t t No 3277 comes in l i f t 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 In t i l l 14 the ihorf luif tok»i 2% yards of 44 inch fabr ic , long, 3 ' /« yardt o f 44 inch Shell Blouse GOOD WORD from the Hible The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish but h\. casteth away the substance of the wicked.
