They can enter more than one garment, but can win with only one Contest officials now accept 60 percent wool fabric, with fabric and yarn eligibility determined by test.

As in the past, suburban Cook county motorists have paid most of the tax Almost 41 percent ($118 million > has been paid by those buying gasoline in suburban Cook county Although Chicago has slightly less than 50 percent of the six-county area's population, its automobile owners purchased only 28 percent of the area's motor fuel i$8 2 million) In the collar counties, 11.5 percent ($3 3 million) was paid in DuPage county. 6 9 percent ($2 million) in Lake county, 5 5 percent ($16 million) in Will county, 4 7 percent ($14 million) in Kane county, and 2.3 percent ($663,300) in McHenry county "The Regional Tran Control Goal A goal for reducing about half the soil erosion in Illinois by 1990, largely with easy-to install measures like con servation tillage and contour plowing, was adopted by the I l l i n o i s E n v i r o n m e n t a l P r o t e c t i o n A g e n c y ' s Agriculture task force recently The task force report recom mends that in 12 years no land in the state should exceed soil losses of 10 tons per acre an nually, and that no gently sloping land (up to 4 percent slope) exceed state soil loss tolerance levels of three to five tons per acre per year sportation Authority estimated that the RTA gas tax would yield $89 million a year," Rep. Skinner pointed out. "If one ignores the extremely minimal collections in December, it is reasonable to estimate that the average monthly RTA gas tax collections will be about $5 8 million. Multiplying $5.8 million times 12 shows that the RTA can only expect $69 6 million from this hated tax " Dairy farmers must become activists in the promotion of their own products, Jim Kurtz, manager of the American Dairy association of Illinois, told members of the ADA board at a quarterly meeting in El Paso in mid-June. --\ The meeting was combined with an open house at the renovated new headquarters of the ADA of Illinois, a former bank building on the main street in El Paso which still contains marble front counter and huge vaults. Kurtz assisted James Her­ bert, Winnebago dairy farmer, with ribbon-cutting ceremonies to symbolize opening the headquarters building. Explaining the urgency for farmers and their wives to take more aggressive roles in dairy promotion, Kurtz said "people are brain-washed by the car­ bonated soft-drink industry. They don't know the nutritional value of milk nor the im­ portance of a balanced diet. "You can count on greater inroads by the soft-drink in­ dustry if we don't work harder. Two companies are ready to announce a new household appliance. It will dispense soft- drinks-make your own at home!" - Kurtz said the activist program should include con­ centrated effort to distribute informational brochures during day-to-day contacts-visits to doctors, dentists, beauty shops, banks, laundromats, and grocery stores where cooperative grocers would participate withrrecipe folders in each groceryj&ack. "Farm men ahd women make hundreds of contacts in the course of a month, and it is up to you with the help of your organization to become much more aggressive," he asserted. Herbert, ADA president the past three years, said distribution of nutritional in­ formation would be a way farmers could be most helpful because "changing life styles with fewer sit down family meals mean more people are eating on the run. They reach for a soft drink or whatever is convenient in the refrigerator. We need to inform people milk products provide essential nutrients Schools are not doing $n adequate job of making this information stick during classroom discussions." Kurtz told board members and guests the changing directiorurf promotion since he took oylr as manager one year ago stresses displays and point- of-sale information at grocery stores. Bud Boyd, field man with the ADA for 10 years, spearheads this work, ser­ vicing more than 300 stores at such cities as Moline, Rock Island, Peoria, Champaign, and Rockford. Kurtz said eigh­ ty percent of milk sales are through grocery stores, and that's why he has made grocery store visibility for dairy product promotion his major effort in 1978. Beth Nepermann, Elgin, Illinois Dairy Princess, discussed some of her year's activities. One highlight was a sitdown session with a kin­ dergarten class. Another was to visit several nursing home? where she found many people with farm "backgrounds and agricultural ties.
