"Farmers who faced with storage for this year's grain crops can obtain fundi to build additional facilities or to expand their present storage structures," Charles W. McKemie, county executive director of the McHenry County Agricultural Stabilization and Con­ servation Service (ASCS), said. The farm facility loan program authorizes ASCS to loan up to $100,000 to producers needing farm facilities for storing dry or high moisture grain, soybeans and high moisture forage and silage. Loans are also available for drying and handling equipment. Eligible storage structures include conventional bins, flat, multi-purpose struc­ tures and silo-type facilities. The drying equipment in­ cludes continuous-flow dryers, batch or in-storage drying systems as well as systems that dry by aerating or circulating the crop. "Farmers who have suitable storage can exer­ cise greater independence in their marketing operatkxib and help strengthen market prices," McKemie said. They can also take full ad­ vantage of commodity loan programs and realize higher total income from their farm operations in years of excess production. According to McKemie, McHenry county farmers have added over 288,000 bushels of grain storage space on their farms through the program during the current fiscal year. The loans totaled $181,000. A minimum down payment of 15 percent of the cost is required in cash before the loan is disbursed. The loans may be repaid in seven equal annual in­ stallments over a period of eight years. The ASCS of­ ficial said farm facility loans are secured and borrowers are required to provide adequate security to protect the Commodity Credit Corporation's interest. Interested farmers should call or visit the local ASCS office at 1143 North Seminary avenue, Wood­ stock. semester, 1979. Steve Stanek, of McHenry, was editor of the Tartan that •fin--1^ The Tartan iasues were judged by Dr. Store Ames of Iowa State university, who described the paper as "a well packed jwoduct." Readers of the Tartan are indeed fortunate to have a responsible newspaper staff representing than," Ames said. ACP officials said 500 different colleges and universities entered the fall competiiton with ap­ proximately 100 entries in competition for the junior and community college honors. The Tartan was named an "All American" because the paper received total points putting it in a first class category as well as marks of distinction for coverage and content; editorial leadership and opinion features; physical appearance and visual communication; and photography, art and use of graphics. The paper received four marks of distinction out of a possible five. Those papers receiving five stars are named "Five Star All Americans" and are eligible to compete for national recognition as Pacemakers, the top five community college papers in the nation. The Tartan Is published every two weeks by students at MCC during Fall and Spring semesters. Among the students who worked on the Tartan staff during the fall semester were Jim Anderson, Barb Ansell, Kris Benson, Marl Bushell, Dave Coalition Petitions Court For Mandemus of The Coalition for Political lluMWty has filed a petition for mandamus in Springfield asking the Illinois Supreme court to order die State Board of Elections to put the Legislative Cutback amendment on the November ballot. The Cutback amendment is a voter referendum seeking to cut the size of the Illinois House by one-third, a reduction which the Coalition says will save taxpayers 17 million a year. The amendment will also abolish cumulative voting and multi-member House districts. The State Board Elections is trying to the Cutback amendment the ballot by applying a restrictive petition law to the Coalition's 477,112 signatures. The law was passed by the legislature Aug. 11, 1979, eight months after the Cutback petition drive began. "We're confident that the seven justices of the Illinois Supreme court will protect the rights of six million Illinois voters to vote on the Cutback amendment," said Patrick Quinn, Coalition spokesman. Butler, Moira Davis, Jim Drendel, Susan Huffman, Ellie Johnson, Liz Mallon, Sue McCartney, Joanne Murin, Steve Peterson, Steve Stanek, John Vrett, Joe Walter, Joe Weltzer, and Martha Wisner. Anne Slavicek is the adviser to the Tartan. CRAZY HORSE FALL ESSENTIALS The Shetland Sweaters: warm and wooly classics to top off trousers and skirts.

Free parking all stores. The petition for man­ damus is a legal procedure used when time is of essence concerning matters of public importance. By going directly to the Supreme court, the Coalition can make sure the Cutback amendment is certified and ballot pamphlets are distributed by the secretary of state in time for the Nov. 4 election. If the mandamus petition is not granted by the Supreme court, the Coalition will immediately proceed j with a petition for review of the State Board of Election's decision in the circuit court of Sangamon county before Judge John Russell. Quinn said the central issue in the Coalition's suit is the constitutional right of Illinois citizens to pass petitions to reform the legislature. "County clerks across the state determined absolutely that our petitions contain the signatures of registered voters and that we collected thousands of signatures more than the legal minimum of 252,008 to qualify the Cutback amendment," said Quinn. "The only way the State Board of Elections was able to deny tfie Cutback amendment a (dace on the ballot was to say that thousands of signatures notarized before the Aug. u law was passed were invalid because they did not comply with the law." 172 Die On Illinois Highways During July The superintendent of Illinois state police, Ronald J.
