Increase Payment i School Lunch, Breakfast iimW The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has an­ nounced an increase in its rates of payment to state education agencies to assist schools taking part in the National School Lunch, School Break­ fast, and Special Milk programs. Also increased was the national minimum average value of commodities e for the National School Lunch program. • jj/'V' Accotdinfp to E. Ohlzen, director, School Food Service section, Illinois Department of Public In­ struction, "the increases for school lunches and breakfasts were effective jflly 1. The law requires that these payment rates be adjusted twice each year, in lin#With changes in the food away from home series of the U.S. Department of Labor's Consumer Price Index (CPI). The adjustment announced today reflects the 3.97 percent increase for the period, December, 1974-^aj/>, 1975. "In the National School Lunch program, the national average payment to states, to be used by them to assist local school authorities help defray food costs of each lunch served, will be increased one- half cent, from 11.75 cents to 12.25 cents. Within that average, states are authorized to vary the rate of reim- busement to individual schools, subject to certain conditions, up to a maximum of 18.25 cents a lunch. Previously the ceiling was 17.75 cents." Ohlzen went on to say that, "the additional guaranteed average payment to States to assist local schools in the service of lunches to needy children will be boosted 2.0 cents - to 44.5 cents for each reduced-price lunch and to 54.5 cents for each free lunch. "The maximum reim­ bursement which States can pay to individual schools for free lunches is increased 2.5 cents. It can range as high as 71.75 cents for a reduced-price lunch and 81.75 cents for a free lunch. These maximum rates are arrived at by combining "general cash assistance," paid for all lunches served, and | "special cash assistance," paid for free or reduced-price lunches served to needy children. "The national^ average payment to States for each breakfast served to eligible children will be increased one- half cent, from 9.25 cents to 9.75 cents. The additional average payment to States for each reduced-price breakfast, which has been 17.50 cents, will be increased to 18,25 cents. The additional average payment to States for a free breakfast, which has been 23.25 cents, will be increased to 24.25 cents. "For cases of severe need, maximum rates of reim­ bursement remain at 40 cents for reduced-price breakfast and 45 cents for free break­ fasts. "The national average minimum value of com- modities~or cash in lieu of commodities-per lunch to be made available under the National School Lunch Program for fiscal year (FY) 1976 will be 11 cents. This is a 9.99 percent increase over the (FY) 1975 value of com­ modities, based on the percent increase in the food away from home series of the Consumer Price Index during the period June 1974 to May 1975." He added that, "the adjusted •rate of reimbursement per half pint of milk served under the Special Milk Program will be 5.5 cents for paying children in (FY) 1976, an increase of 9.9 percent over (FY) 1975. The payment to institutions for milk served free to needy children will remafn at the purchase p'rice of the milk.'"' Dolltirs And Good Sense ° Blind Date "How's your new girl?" "Not very good."

Ex­ tension Adviser, Agriculture, McHenry county) Tough Weed Problems The combination of good stands of vigorously growing crops, herbicides, and timely cultivation has added up to good weed control for most growers. But here are a few tips for those fields that still contain troublesome weeds. Corn - If you still have broadleaf weeds such as cocklcbur and annual morning glory, 2,4-D can be quite ef­ fective and economical. There is some risk of corn injury, so adjust rates carefully, apply accurately, avoid very hot, humid conditions,* and do not spray 2,4-D in corn from tasseling to dough stage. Usually suggested rates are about one-sixth pound per acre of low-volatile ester, one-fourth pound per acre high-volatile ester, or one-half pound per acre of amine. Soybeans -Pre-plant or.pre- emergence herbicides plus cultivation have given good control of annual grass weeds in most fields. A few post- emergence treatments are available; but considering the stage of soybean and weed growth in most fields, the major one for consideration now is 2,4-DB. 2, 4-DB can be applied over the top of soybeans from 10 days before bloom until mid- bloom. It usually gives good control of cocklebur, annual morning glory, and giant ragweed. Apply only to those parts of the field where these weeds are serious since there is some risk of soybean injury. It's a good idea to walk your fields for some hard pulling or Santa Claus treatment, - hoe, hoe, hoe. For example, one pigweed can produce over 100,000 seeds and mean lots more little problems next year. Feeding Dairy Cows - At our last Agricultural Extension council meeting, we brain- stormed for a workable ap­ proach to provide local dairymen with current feeding information. In addition to the Area Dairy seminar scheduled for January, 1976, we plan to offer a six or seven-week correspondence course this winter covering the many facets of nutritioif Details will follow as plans are set.
