Although spring was supposed to have officially arrived at 1:54 o'clock Sunday afternoon, yet there was no sign of it in this vicinity as McHenry dug itself out of snowdrifts following the rampaging March blizzard which struck this city and other parts of northern Illinois Monday. The storm continued into the night unabated, the high winds driving snow into towering drifts, leaving crippled trara&ortation and blocked highways in its wake. The blizzard was accompanied by thunder and lightning, a strange and fascinating phenomenon never before witnessed by many. The Lenten season will draw to a close Sunday, March 27. At this time special services will be observed at the various local churches. The Eastertide is one of hope and promise, coming in the springtime and bringing to every heart a measure of hope and joy. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 26, 1942). JMIli Left k A speed limit of 40 miles per hour became effective early this week when T. P. Sullivan, state director of public safety, directed that state highway police prevent faster speeds in Illinois. President Roosevelt asked the governors of sixteen states to establish this speed limit in their respective states, for the purpose of saving tires. With each new draft quota, several more of our young McHenry men are giving up their accustomed mode of living to don one of Uncle Sam's uniforms and begin a new life in some distant place. Those from McHenry leaving included Paul Harvery, Harold "• Bell, LeRoy Conway and Alfred Weingart. Mr. and Mrs. George Justen are the parents of a daughter bom at their home on Green street. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 28, 1957). Taxpayers learned that they will have to pay the largest tax bill in county history, $6,832,989.76.

He is now stationed at Camp Hanford, Wash, in the personnel conduct and security detachment. Winn C. Davidson, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Davidson of Wonder Lake, has enrolled as a freshman at the University of Illinois Chicago undergraduate division. With competition keen for places in the select Mon­ mouth college choir, McHenry friends are proud of the fact that Shirley, daughter of the Robert Thurwells, has been named to the 41-voice group. It began its annual tour March 21, taking the singers through Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 31, 1972). A first for McHenry's Chamber of Commerce will be the commerce and in­ dustry exposition at Parkland Junior high school. The show is intended to give people living and working in the McHenry area an op­ portunity to acquaint themselves with the many fine retailers and services available locally. It is also hoped the exposition will stimulate interest in in­ dustry and civic, social and governmental agencies serving the area. The City Council heard the petition of McHenry State bank as trustee under Trust Number 428, Ralph E. Edgar and Investment Develop­ ment, Inc., presented by Atty. Joseph Conerty. The area, north of and con­ tiguous to the city, contains 142.3 acres. The petition requests that the property be annexed and classified as follows: 25.8 acres west of the railroad as "Industrial Park". Jane McMillan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas McMillan of Wonder Lake, has been selected by a vote of the faculty at M.C.H.S. to represent the school at Illini Girls State this summer. Time To Check Sored Grain I VANews I (by Brian Sager, Ex- ̂the surface of storT grain, possible. The remaining tension Adviser. Grain in good coition is grain should then be mixed Editor's Note: Following m Getting Our Goats Some of our wild goats are descendants of goats brought in by early settlers from Hawaii, National Geo­ graphic World magazine re­ ports. The goats are now pests, eating native plants and destroying homes and food supplies of native animals. (by Brian t e n s i o n Agriculture). Although it may not seem like it at times, tem­ peratures are beginning to moderate and McHenry county producers should check their stored grain regularly. Warmer weather increases mold activity in grain bins and mold is the leading cause of spoilage in stored grain. While grain can spoil throughout the year, it spoils more often during the late winter and spring. Rapid temperature changes at this time of year can cause moisture migration and condensation in grain bins, leading to mold growth. With every 10 degree temperature rise, mold activity doubles. In the temperature range of 40 to 50 degrees F., storage molds grow very slowly. At temperatures between 80 and 110 degrees F., however, growth is very rapid. Moisture content of grain also affects the development of mold. If the moisture con­ tent is 13 percent or above and the temperatures are rising, molds may begin tc develop. Producers should ch»t stored grain every weekJr two.

The remaining grain should then be mixed ttnd provisions made to allow accumulated heat to escape. It may be necessary to dry the grain. Moldy grain should not be fed to livestock as the molds can produce mycotoxins that are extremely poisonous. Young animals, poultry, and cattle are most susceptible to mycotoxln poisoning. However, moldy »corn Should never be fed to any breeding animal.
