The farmer committee system, originated over thirty- five years ago, has continued to be the most effective method of administering farm programs yet devised, and no other group of citizens has so direct a voice in running government programs. ASC Committee Set Community Election Raymond D. Lett, state executive director of the Illinois State Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service office, announced that the election of ASC community committees is scheduled for Dec. 2, a farm vote that will affect virtually every farmer in the state. ASC committees are responsible for administering ASCS farm programs through the county ASCS office. County ASCS offices are field offices of the USDA and serve as headquarters for the ASC committees in carrying out farm programs. ASC committee elections are unique in that only farmers , may vote and serve on the committees and the elections are held by mail. Farmers have already nominated candidates to be placed on the ballot for community committees. Ballots have been mailed to all farmers eligible to vote. Farmers have until Dec. 2 to mark their ballots for the three farmers of their choice to serve on the community committee. Shortly after Dec. 2, the ballots will be counted and the three winners will be notified by a county convention to be held on Dec. 12. All three community committeemen will serve as delegates to the convention where they will elect area farmers to fill vacancies on the county committee and to select the chairman and vice-chairman of the county committee for the coming year. Committeemen take office on Jan. 1, 1975, and are respon­ sible for the day-to-day ad- Illinois Director of Agriculture Robert J. "Pud" Williams has reiterated his warning that dealers and farmers check to see that the fertilizers they buy meet the analysis guaranteed on the package. Williams said that his department is continuing to find shortages of various components when officials run the fertilizers through laboratory analysis. In one extreme case, ac­ cording to the director, the department found ground granite being sold as a fer­ tilizer. He said the granite "had no food value for plants at all." Williams said that part of the problem may result from processors getting a lower grade of raw material than they have in previous years while at the same time not monitoring their production facilities closely enough. The director said that this situation was most common where phosphate was concerned. Liquid fertilizers are another area where the dealer or user might be shorted, the director said. "You'll find that in the fer­ tilizer business, like just about any other, most people are honest and a pleasure to trade with," Williams said. "But every now and then, there will be someone who is going to water down liquid fertilizers. And I think it's a little more serious in that kind of a situation, because it not only means that someone is cheated, but also that the farmer may make a miscalculation in planning the treatment of his crops. Those are the kind of miscalculations that hurt everybody, especially the consumer who has to make up the difference in the end." Williams added, "I again encourage anyone who wants to be sure of the analysis of the fertilizer or any other of the chemicals he is using on his crops to take advantage of the facilities and services of the Illinois Department of Agriculture and have them checked. The person who takes that extra care is the one who will do a little better as well as be the best influence on stabilizing the economy." Williams said inquiries HAPPY HOLIDAYS . . .
