With food costs so much in the spotlight, it is of interest to consumers just how great this nation's food production know- how is. In the United States, farmers comprise only 4.4 percent of the population Yet the good American farmer has so much perseverance and knowledge of farming, that he produces enough to feed 502 people. Putting this in some kind of perspective, in Russia, 33 percent of the people are totally involved in feeding their population, yet they must import food. One Russian farmer can produce enough only to feed six people. Many people know about the need to import oil from the Arabian countries and how the price has risen extremely high in the past couple of years. The productive capacity of the American farmer has supplied enough food to feed this nation well and to provide plenty for exports. Money received for the food this nation exports makes it possible for this country to pay for that oil. Tremendous agricultural exports almost equal the money that must be paid for that Mid-East oil. Tax Issues Affecting Farmers To Be Debated The tax issues that affect Illinois agriculture will be debated by Illinois farm leaders and local government officials at the Rural Policy forum. Mar 8 and 9, to be held in Champaign The University of Illinois Department of Agricultural Economics will host the forum and provide a platform for discussing alternatives to possible real estate tax values as high as fifty dollars an »cre on farm­ land, says George Young. MoHenry County Extension adviser. The question of whether the present methods of taxing farmland are fair and equitable and what other means of raising revenue should be considered will be important to farmers since they have to pay the tax that is levied. And at values of some farms today, with rising costs and decreasing crop and livestock prices, many farm owners are looking to eliminate or reduce property taxes and shift to other forms of revenue, says Young. x Other concerns of farm property owners, the tax reform experiences in Indiana and Ohio, and tax reform as seen by top officials of the State of Illinois, will also be examined. Young says they plan to have a top state official available to discuss tax reform in Illinois. For information and reservation to the Rural Policy forum, people can contact the McHenry County Extension office, or write to the Depart­ ment of Agricultural Economics, University of Illinois.

To whom it may concern: Please do not empty your old drain oil into the open ditch in front of your house. Also, try to refrain from allowing your dogs to deposit their business in front of mailboxes. Finally, refuse cans belong behind or at the side of the house. They are only left in front for the convenience of the disposal company. Once emp­ tied, they should be taken back to their normal location. Your neighbors will appreciate this. Care more for what you have in yourself and less for what you can get from others.

One can avoid this frustration and be prepared for an early start. It is suggested that a full inventory of garden tools, materials and seeds, is made now. Assemble and inspect all gardening tools. Clean and sharpen spades and hoes. Examine handles for cracking and splintering. Replace those in bad shape. . ,Check the mower. Does it need sharpening? Will it start next spring'?
