Holiday, Fla. 35 IN COUNTY APPLY FOR CROP DISASTER AID &> (Continued from page 1) crop insurance, although farmers are not required to pay premiums to be eligible for payment. ^ . According to,.Lucas, ex­ tremely dry weather over much of the county during 1976 was the cause of much of the increase in applications. Most of the applications were for reduced yields, particularly for wheat and corn Despite bad weather and the resulting increase in disaster applications, record crops for both corn and wheat were produced in 1976 Faucet Trickle Prevents Freezing The temperature has climbed in the past few days, but Superintendent of Public Works Fred Meyers urges everyone to leave one faucet open in the home, allowing a trickle of water to continue running. Apparently, the warmer temperatures force the frost to go deeper into the ground, thereby increasing the Chances of frozen water pipes. So far, approximately twenty buildings have lost water service due to frozen pipes, and Meyer expects the total to greatly increase as the frost seeps lower into the earth. The twenty frozen pipes represents an all time record in the city of McHenry. "Please leave your water running." Meyer urged "A trickle out of the faucet is the best way to prevent frozen pipes."
