PAGE 7 • PLAINDE AI .ER-WEDNESDAY, MARCH M. 1 Wtt Conservation Claim Rule Chain O'Lakes Carp Clean The carp in the Chain O'Lakes region have been given a clean bill of health for commercial fishing, the Illinois Department of Conservation has announced. Commercial fishing of the rough fish will be allowed between April 1 and Oct. 15, and a take of between three and four million pounds is expected, said Gary Erickson (CQ), fishery biologist for the Department of Conservation. The low levels of con­ taminants in the Chain O'Lakes fish is particularly good news, Erickson said, because such contaminants tend to ac­ cumulate more in scavengers like the carp than in more popular sport fish like blue gill or crappie. The relatively low small amounts of pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) was a pleasant sur-. prise, said Erickson. Com­ mercial fishing at Carlyle Lake in Ginton, Bond, and Fayette counties will not be allowed this Spring because of tests showing dangerous amounts of the agricultural pesticide Dieldrin in rough fish there., Eighteen carp from Grass and Pistakee lakes in the Chain were taken Dec. 22 and sent to the Illinois Department of Public Health and the U.S, Food and Drug administration for testing.. No more than .4 parts per million of the PCB's was found in any of the carp, Erickson said. PCSs are widely used industrial chemicals suspected of causing cancer and other health problems in humans. The FDA has set a limit of 5 parts per million PCBs for food consumed by humans. Levels of dieldrin reached only .01 parts per million, while the levels of aldrin in the fish ranged between .007 and 038 parts per million, he added. Dieldrin and aldrin are both pesticides. The FDA has set 3.3 parts per million as a safety limft in food for both dieldrin and aldrin. Erickson was unable to ex plain the particularly low levels of the pesticides in light of the fact that thousands of acres of farm land in Wisconsin drain into the Chain O'Lakes and Fox River. Eight commercial fishermen will be allowed to fish Grass, Pistakee, Nippersink, and Fox Lakes. Commercial fishing of the Fox River. Mineola and Stanton Bays in Fox Lake, and connecting waterways of the Chain will be prohibited, Erickson said. Commercial fishermen will be requires to obtain a license from the Department of Con­ servation. License holders must have at least 1.000 feet of seine (CQ) netting or 500 feet of trammel nets. The licenses will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis unless more than eight qualified fishermen apply Applications will be accepted after March 1. Fishermen will be required to possess a minimum of equip­ ment. Erickson said, because too many amateurs became involved in commercial fishing of the Chain last year and only 4,000 pounds of carp were harvested Many of the carp taken will be shipped live to fee-fishing areas in central and southern Illinois, Erickson predicted Those commercial fishermen interested in fishing the Chain O'Lakes should contact the Department of Conservation's regional office at Chain O'Lakes State Park.

He announced also the 1976 loan rates for wheat and feed grains and a reinstated loan program for soybeans. Provisions of the Agriculture and Consumer Protection act of 1973 require that target prices for the 1976 crop be adjusted upward from 1975 levels to reflect increased production costs during 1975. The 1976 loan levels are also being adjusted upward from the minimum levels set by the legislation; these increases reflect approximately the same percentage increases as made in the target prices. "The target prices and loan rates provide a guaranteed support base while adhering to the principle of reliance on the marketplace for farm income," Secretary Butz said. "Farm income and farm production have reached all-time records under our present* market-oriented agricultural policy," he added. , Hie 1976 target prices are as follows: ioe HELP IN YOUR FAMILY-OR PERSONAL CRISIS CALL: • 385-6400 Wheat ($-bu.)

(Editors Note: This is the eleventh in a series on UN­ DERSTANDING MENTAL HEALTH, presented as a public service by the Family Service and Mental Health Clinic of McHenry County. Purpose is to help develop a much broader understanding of one of this nation's major health problems. Information is supplied with the cooperation of the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Today's presentation concerns What to Do When a Disturbed Person Is Out of Control). If a disturbed person becomes violent, gets com­ pletely out of control, or tries to commit suicide, there are several things you can do: Call a physician, preferably the person's family doctor. A doctor can tell you where and how to get help or may be able to provide it himself, even if he is nota mental health specialist. Also, he is able to treat injuries resulting from violence, a suicide attempt, or a drug or alcohol overdose. If you cannot summon a doctor, get the person to a hospital emergency room. You may have to call an ambulance to get him there. Look in the Yellog Pages under "Am­ bulances," or call the police, fire department, or resuce squad if any of these provide ambulance service in your community. Or call the telephone operator for help. If the troubled person has been receiving treatment for mental or emotional illness or problem behavior, call the professional who has been treating him. Call the mental health hotline, drug hotline, suicide prevention center, "free clinic," or Alcoholics Anonymous chapter, if your area has such services. Call the Family Service and Mental Health Clinic of McHenry County at 385-6400. It is listed under "Clinics" in the Yellow Pages and has a 24-hour telephone service. In crisis emergencies, call the police. Often the police are the best equipped, most available resource, especially when a crime has been com­ mitted or when this is a strong possibility that the person may do physical injury to himself or others.

McHenry County Job Well Done - I tip my hat to the Mc Henry County • farm Bureau board for the excellent job they did hosting Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butx when he visited McHenry county. T.B. I pdate - Dr Johnson's office. McHenry County Health department, is cooperating with state and federal veterinarians in determining the extent of the recent T B outbreak in local herds As of March 12, four McHenry county herds have been depopulated for a total of 384 animals Two herds are now under quaran­ tine The present emphasis is in following up fencHine contacts and tracing sales and movement of cattle out of in­ fected herds. It is a good policy to drink only properly pasteurized milk and have a regular skin T B test from your family doctor How To Plant A Tree - Avoid planting a tree too deep New trees should be planted at the same depth at which they grew in the nursery Set the tree in the hole straight and fill around the roots with a mixture of soil and peat moss Tramp firmly and water thoroughly to settle the soil New trees should be staked and the trunk should be wrapped with burlap or a tree- wrap paper to prevent sunscald and other bark injuries. Since a large number of roots are lost in transplanting, you should compensate for this loss by pruningthe branches. About one-third W the potential leaf area should be removed. However, rather than cutting all branches back one-third, a better practice is to prune one- third of the branches back to the main trunk But don't prune the main or central leader. Valuable Assets - Over the centuries, the great conflicts that shaped history had names like the Battle of Hastings Waterloo and Trafalgar Today, there's another world­ wide struggle that's getting a lot of attention Hie battle to produce enough food The U N. estimates that one- eighth of the world's 4 billion people are already un­ dernourished And every day. Mother Earth gets nearly 217.000 new mouths to feed Who'll feed them'* The best bet is America's farmers Last year, they produced half the world's food supply And 75 percent of all food imported by countries who couldn't grow enough of their own tThat amounted to a (22 billion shot in the arm for our balance of trade T All of which isn't too sur­ prising. when you figure that since 1950. the average output of America's food producers has increased at nearly 2»a times the rate of all other U.S. industries And it's getting better. Some countries may have more rockets and tanks than we do Some have more oil. Others can make cheaper radios and TV sets But no country on earth has the awesome food production power of the United States. Now and then, in midst of everything else that's going on. that 's an important fact to keep in mind ^ . A m e r i c a n V i e w p o i n t s * % • < CROSS OF PEACE..
