During the 16th and 17th centuries, sailing ships were extremely complex., having a number of masts and a very elaborate sys­ tem of sails, there was a seemingly endless maze of ropes stretching from one point to another allowing each sail to work indep­ endent of the other. The hoisting ropes or halyards were movable in most in- instances and when nec­ essary, easy to repair but there were many ropes that were in a taut and per­ manent or fixed position. In the normal course of wear and tear, as these ropes would break or separate, the well financed ship's masters would prefer to replace them as it was much easier, however it was by no means uncommon for the more frugal ship­ owners, conscious of the high cost of new rope, to order their captains to have the crew repair the ropes by splicing them together again. Understandably , with a rope under tension, each of the ends draw back once separated and to pull and stretch them back to­ gether the crew had to la­ bor and strain to "make both ends meet' so that splicing could be accomp­ lished. From this very literal circumstance of "making both ends meet", the des­ criptive saying left the sea and entered general speech to designate the realistic struggle of living with­ in one's income through the rigors of economic ups and downs. An appropriate quotation from out of the past.... "Let us all be happy and live within our means, even if we have to borrer money to do it with"...Artemus Ward, London, (1872).

(B) Illinois Bell (By George J. Young, Ex­ tension Adviser, Agriculture, M c H e n r y C o u n t y ) Farm Input Costs - The current outlook for agricultural inputs continues to indicate higher prices, although supply problems have diminished. The September prices paid by farmers for all production items was about 1 percent higher than in August, and about 7 percent above a year earlier. This is less than half the 16-percent increase in costs from 1973 to 1974. The combined use of all farm inputs increased about 1 percent from 1974, although^ farmers used less fertilizer, feed, and some machinery items. ^ Farm Revolution - Agriculture is entering its third major revolution. The industry en­ tered a mechanical revolution years ago as Cyrus McCormick developed the reaper. The 1930's saw technology move to the forefront in Agriculture, with hybrid seed development. From there, technological developments mushroomed in such areas as: fertilizer, herbicides, and insecticides. These areas remain important; but the new frontier in agriculture is that of acquiring and using capital - a revolution in business and financial management. To acquire and manage sufficient capital in the future, farmers need to learn how to prepare and use four main types of financial statements - balance sheets, income statements, cash flow projections, and flow-of-funds statements. Our office has information on preparing and using these statements. Farm Productivity- Many stresses work to overcome - man. Yet, the nearly 4 billion people on earth today have above 20 percent more food per person than the 2.7 billion people 20 years ago. Agronomy, the science of survival, helped farmers build this record. But stress will not let us rest on that record. Land Resource Tour Congratulations to the Soil and Water Conservation District for sponsoring an excellent land resource tour of northeastern McHenry County last week. The tour was held for County Board members and other local government officials to acquaint them with soil characteristics and patterns of land use in the county. Assisting the District with the tour were the County Planning com­ mission, Soil Conservation service, and University of Illinois Extension service. Moss on Roof - To get rid of moss on a shingled roof, brush on a 5 percent solution of penta. Dilute with mineral spirits. Workmen's Compensation - Farmers who employ 245 or more man-days of labor per year (a full or partial day of work by an employee equals 1 man-day), are required to take certain action. They must either take out a workmen's compensation insurance policy or make application as a self- insurer to the Illinois Industrial Commission, 160 N. LaSalle St., Chicago, Illinois 60600. Will The Family Farm Survive in America? - The Senate Small Business committee under the leadership of its chairman, Gaylord Nelson, of Wisconsin, has scheduled a series of hearings over the next year on this subject. Working through joint hearings with other Senate committees, the Small Business committee will in­ vestigate the effect of federal policies and legislation in en­ couraging or undermining the survival of the family farm as the basic economic and social unit in rural America. The first hearing was held in July. For further information, contact Senator Gaylord Nelson, 221 Russell Senate Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20510.
