Funds Announced For Students' Art 1975 Farm Conservation Accepted For Jim Lucas, county Executive director has reported that $5,324,000 funds for the 1975 Agricultural Conservation program (ACP) in Illinois. "With the recent an­ nouncement of the cost sharing program by the U.S. Depart­ ment of Agriculture (USDA), authority to develop practices needed to solve farm con­ servation problems is being delegated to each of the USDA's farmer-elected county ASC committees in con­ sultation with the county program development group," Lucas said. He said all approved prac­ tices in effect under the 1970 national ACP are eligible. Practices developed by county ASC committees will be subject to approval by the state ASC committee in consultation with the state program development group.

Nugent, Illinois Employment Security Administrator, has announced. Advance estimates show that the April unemployment rate for Illinois -- seasonally ad­ justed -- has climbed to 8.3 percent jobless rate in the six- county Chicago area as well, Nugent said.
