Tax Workshop Planned (Town and Country Tips by Dave Plocher) Workshop Planned- Farmers should be estimating their income now in order to make year end tax management decisions. Tax credits have been set up < by law. Are you aware of what you must do. to receive these credits? Income shifting and early buying may be necessary for far­ mers to adjust a weighty tax burden. A two-hour workshop has been set up to assist far­ mers, farm bookkeepers and farm tax preparers. George Young, area farm management adviser with the University of Illinois, will conduct the workshop on Tuesday, Dec. 5. It will be held at the new Extension office at 789 McHenry avenue from 1 to 3 p.m. Advance registration by Nov. 30 will allow par­ ticipants to receive special materials.

Following is a summary of the comments from Extension marketing specialists Tom Hieronymus and Darrell Good. In the general economy, the strength of consumer demand will have a strong influence on the price of 1979- 80 marketed corn and soybeans. This is not new but is being looked at closely because of the current economic slowdown. Con­ sumer demand is being watched because we have an abundance in the livestock area. Consumer demand for livestock products will keep up the demand for livestock1 feeds - corn and soybeans. A severe recession can tear apart this demand. Tom Hieronymus explained "I'm more frightened of a more severe recession and in­ flationary problems than I had thought." The carryout of 1978-79 corn is now at 1,285 million bushels. This is a record of the past 11 years. Combine this with the record yield of 7,586 million bushels as predicted and taking into account a strong export and livestock demand in 1979-80 and we still are calculating a 1979-80 carryout of 1,406 million bushels. The 1978-79 soybean situation is similar. While the 1978-79 carryout is not a record, the 1979-80 production of 2,236 million bushels is a record. So also is the 392 million bushels predicted carryout. In summarizing what all of this means for prices, we see an 1979-80 average corn price of $2.60 and a 1979-80 average soybean price of $6.24. Both are optimistic figures. Cattle and Hog Outlook--We are now seeing the turn around in cattle numbers. Heifers are going into breeding herds. A larger proportion of slaughter animals are.steers therefore while slaughter, numbers are down, weights are up. This has caused only a slight decrease in the supply of beef on the market. Cattle prices are influenced by beef and hog production and income. Beef prices may rise modestly to keep up with inflation. Hog prices are currently higher than they were ex-1 pected to be because of great demand. This hog demand is holding off any slow-up in the buildup of hogs. With strong numbers, the lowest hog Drices will be seen in the February-April period. Holiday Bloomer--The blooming period of potted plants can be extended if you give careful attention to watering, light, and tem­ perature. Greenhouse pampering is the main secret of producing these potted beauties. All potted plants enjoyed almost daily watering in the greenhouse. The consistent watering develop pure colors and quality foliage. If you allow your Christmas plant to dry out, many days of beauty may be lost. You can determine when to water by feeling the top of the soil in the pot. When the soil feels dry, apply enough water to create a small surplus: A little water in the Dan under the pot indicates JJie soil is well moistened. After a half hour, pour off the extra water to prevent waterlogging of the soil. Locate plants near win- There's An Answer (by Normun Vincent Peale and Ruth Stafford Peale) dows - but not in direct sunlight - to help the plants grow and maintain their rich, green foliage. Faded flowers and faded foliage are signs of poor lighting con­ ditions. Temperature control can stretch the life of flowers and potted plants by 25 percent. An ideal situation for mums and poinsettias calls for night temperatures near 60 degrees F. and daytime temperatures near 72 degrees F. Move your plant to a cooler room, such as a closet along an outside wall each evening, then back to the bright living or dining room each day. Loops Prevent Mastitis--A small plastic loop, inserted into each teat of a cow's udder may prevent mastitis. Research on the loop is being expanded in France and California. The principal of the loop is that when it is inserted into the milk cistern of the udder it encourages the production of Leucocytes - the disease fighting white blood cells. The loop thus stimulates the animal's natural disease fighting mechanism. When mastitis causing bacteria enter the gland, the white blood cells are ready to fight. This readiness can prevent the buildup of mastitis causing bacteria. Contact me for more in­ formation or write Dr. Paape, Building 173, Room 103, Bare - East Beltsville, Md. 20705. An endless circle Q. I'm 29 years old, have 2 children and a wonderful marriage. My problem is that I feel responsible for my mother's happiness. 1 have to call her at least once every day or she feels hurt and neglected. Although I may stop in and visit her, I feel guilt later when she calls and says how lonesome and boring the rest of the day was. I have come to hate holidays when we must spendequal time with my husband's parents and mine. I'm resentful that I am unable to spend time with just our own immediate family. Then I feel guilty about being resentful. It's an endless circle and I feel I'm falling apart A. Keep this type of thinking going and you will really fall apart. Your mother is the one who, if anyone, should have the sense of guilt for never weaning you Emotionally. Let her learn to occupy herself and become a self-sufficient, well- adjusted person. Of course your attitude toward your parents is immature. You really need to group up and .treat the older people in a relaxed manner. Be fBendly and loving but don't let them overly cling and finally break you. Heaven help us! . Q. I have a second marriage, and my husband also lost his first mate by death. If we are reunited with our loved ones in those "many mansions" after death, what complications may we expect when we meet again with a previous spouse? I can predict what would happen if I met my husband's first wife, but what really bothers me is: What will happen when my first husband meets my second husband? A. You are trying to reason on the basis of earthly conditions, circumstances and relationship. All of these are probably drastically different in the afterlife: But Love will surely prevail in the Heavely Kingdom, as will all of the Christlike attitudes. Life will be on a higher plane where there is no selfishness or hostility. So be happy with your husband now and leave the future in God's hands. It's like a peat sickness Q. My husband of 22 years has filed for divorce suddenly. It is an "overnight event". Love one day, hate the next! Some days I feel if I had no children I could easily step in front of a train and forget everything. How can I accept this overwhelming HATE, HATE, HATE? I've prayed to be loving and forgiving, and I've prayed for my husband Still this terrible aching. It's like a great sickness of epidemic proportions in this little town. So many divorces and no good reason for 99 percent of them. A. Wonder if you overplay that hate. This attitude of your husband must have been building up over a period of time is not something that just happened suddenly. If he hates you, whereas he formerly loved you, you might ask, "Why this change in attitude?" Perhaps you might correct something within yourself. At least you can try discussing the matter with him in a calm and rational manner. When love seems to decline, by going carefully into the reasons, one can often get a corrective solution. Whatever the outcome, you can always have hope. Life need never be hopeless unless we make it so.
