f i <- • •• • V" Official Announces 1975 ACP Guidelines Jims Lucas, McHenry county executive director, reports information about basic guidelines that farmers should consider when planning to participate in the 1975 cost- sharing Agricultural Con­ servation Program (ACP). "The value and success of the ACP rests upon sound plan­ ning," Lucas said. "Each farmer should consider developing a conservation plan providing an analysis of the conservation needs of all parts of his farm. Such plans may be obtained through USDA's Soil Conservation Service (SCS). Farmers should then call or visit the county ASCS office about the practice or practices he or she chooses to undertake this year." Lucas said whether the necessary machinery, fer­ tilizer, or other materials are available are important con­ siderations in deciding which practices the farmer will put into effect. The ASCS office will endeavor to be of assistance where possible. Farmers may not receive more than the national limitation of $2,500 in cost- share payments per person per year, as imposed by law, regardless of the number of farms on which cost-sharing is received. Lucas noted. The only PAGE 17 - PLAINDEALER exception is that maximum of $10,000 is permitted where a pooling agreement involving more than one farm is ap­ proved. Lucas said that between May 1, 1975. and June 13, 1975, is the period for county farmers to -WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 1975 come to the ASCS office (for sign up-or to file a request for participation) in the program. Cost-share rates range from 60 percent to 75 percent and the specific amount to be approved for a practice is determined by the county ASC committee.

TUNE-UP Hoover Clinic COMING TO Senate Views Nursing Home Reimbursement One of the bills that has passed by the Illinois House was a re-run of a proposal State Rep. Cal Skinner, Jr. (R- Crystal Lake) got passed last session, but saw die in the Senate. _ It would require the depart­ ment of Public Aid to reim­ burse county nursing homes for the full cost of caring and Rousing patients who are on welfare. At present, counties only receive enough to pay for the operating costs of their nursing homes, while private nursing homes receive an additional amount to com­ pensate them for the cost of building the homes themselves. "With all the revelations about sub-standard care provided to welfare financed patients by some private nursing homes, it's about time that state government stopped discriminating against nursing homes run by county govern­ ments and non-profit organizations. I think both should be treated the same way as private for-profit nursing homes are. That is all the bill in question does," explained Skinner. "We still haven't come to grips with compensating church-related and other non- for-profit nursing homes fairly, but this bill is a good first step. By next year, after Federal District Attorney Jim Thomp­ son's office gets through revealing who really owns a number of the profit-making homes in the Chicago area, I think the legislature may be ready to act more rationally. In fact, the Department of Public Aid may even go along with us voluntarily, instead of having to be dragged kicking and screaming' toward a policy that will cost the state more money, but provide more Saturday CLEP Exams June 7-14 CLEP exams (College Level Examination Program) are scheduled to be given on two consecutive Saturdays, June 7 and 14, at McHenry County college in Crystal Lake.

It is possible to take one exam or all exams June 7 and 14. humane care for our elderly poor," Skinner said. Of immediate concern to Skinner is the Boone County board's consideration of an addition to its county nursing home. "If this bill passes, the ad­ dition should definitely be self- sustaining, as far as the welfare patients go," he said. rfi HORNSBYS ^ f a m i l y centers ^ v t !».y» FUN AND FASCINATING Sandcrafting Demonstration H0RNSBVS FAMILY CTR.
