Higher Crop Insurance Coverage For Some Farmers High production farmers will be able to get higher crop insurance coverage next spring with6ut paying increased premium costs to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Fiederal Crop Insurance corporation. Merritt Sprague, manager of the USDA corporation, said the higher coverage will be available to farmers who paint corn, cotton, grain sorghum, rice, soybeans, wheat and barley in the spring of 1983 under changes in the corporation's in­ dividual yield coverage plan. Sprague said the 1962 plan required farmers to provide satisfactory acreage and production records for at least the most recent three years a crop was grown out of a 10-year period. Area-average yields were used for years for which the farmer had no records. Under the new plan for 1983 spring- planted crops, he said, the producer's records will continue to be used in the same manner except that coverage is based on a revised yield formula. That formula: Production records for at least the most recent three years are compared with county yield averages to arrive at a producer yield index. This index then is applied to the county yield average as computed by the USDA's Statistical Reporting 1 mm- g§ Hdays M* Evening Specials included with buffet Tuesday-Roast Duck & Dressing Wednesday-BBQ Ribs Thursday-Turkey 8c Dressing Corned Beef Friday-Fish Fry Saturday-Liver & Onions Chopped Steak Sunday-Roast Pork Loin Turkey and Dressing SERVED DAILY Roast Be°f Baked Hacn, Fried Chicken, Fresh Polish Sausage, Potato Pancakes, Pierogis.

Sprague said .the USDA corporation has devised' 6n additional plan on grain sorghum, corn and small grains to provide increased coverage to farmers who feed their crop production to livestock or poultry and who don't have the records to qualify for the individual yield coverage plan. For both plans, the Federal Crop Insurance corporation will assist in maintaining the records at no charge to the producer. Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation ser­ vice offices will provide the ap­ propriate forms and assist farmers in establishing yield data.

From State Rep. Dick Klemm Water Pollution: How Does Illinois Measure Up? Water pollution in Illinois is as diverse as the state itself. Pollution sources range from industrial^stes, human wastes and other urban polluters to pasture and feedlot runoff, agricultural chemicals and acid waste from coal mining in non- urban parts of the state. Despite the countless potential sources for water pollution here, despite population, industrial and agricultural expansion, despite the spiraling cost of pollution dbntrol, Illinois water is getting cleaner. In the last decade, 95 percent of major municipal polluters and 69 percent of large industrial polluters have consistently complied with pollution control regulation, ac­ cording to the Illinois Environmental Protection agency. The result of compliance of major polluters, the IEPA says, is that further decline in Illinois' water quality from these sources has "virtually been halted". This crackdown on Illinois polluters began in 1970 when the Illinois En­ vironmental Protection agency was established to "restore, maintain and enhance the purity of the waters of this state". Two years after the state move to control water pollution, the federal government strengthened their Water Pollution Control Act. As amended in 1972, the act calls for all American lakes and streams to be "fishable and swimable" by 1983 and for the tytal elimination of pollution discharges into the country's waters by 1985. During the last 10 years, Illinois has been working hard to meet these federal deadlines and as a result, Illinois water has been get­ ting...and staying cleaner. The credit for declining water pollution levels in Illinois is difficult to assign because the water quality network in the state is so vast and diversified. At the level, alone, 14 different agencies are directly responsible for water-related con­ cerns. Probably one of the primary reasons for the commendable cutback in overall pollution is the fine job local sewage treatment facilities have been doing here in recent years. Since 1972, nearly $3 billion have been spent in Illinois to build 220 new treatment plants and complete 130 related projects. The money was provided through a combination of USEPA grants and state and local funding. The new treatment facilities operate very efficiently, often returning waste water which is considerably "cleaner" than required by law. The North Shore Sanitary district is one such treatment area. The result>of \\ a $170 million expenditure there has been the replacement of several small facilities which discharged waste into Lake Michigan. Those plants were replaced by a larger, rerouted sewage system which now discharges ex­ ceptionally "clean" wastewater into the Des Plaines river. The progress made in areas of in­ dustrial and metropolitan water pollution over the past decade, however, does not eliminate Illinois' most pressing water quality concern of soil erosion. Pollution from soil erosion takes many forms. The soil itself often clogs drainage ditches and small streams. Marriage Licenses ti. Applications for marriage licenses were recently made in McHenry County Clerk's office by: Thomas R. Sullivan, II, McHenry, and Joyce E. Ambrosen, Crystal Lake; George M. Gaskell and Bar­ bara J. Swerbenski, both McHenry; Francis E. Lindermann and Kelly A. Swedo, both McHenry; Duane F. Joosten, Crystal Lake, and Elizabeth A. Wanta, McHenry. Arthur R. Petersen and Constance L. Swan, both McHenry; Dominic Visconti, McHenry, and Doreen A. Orlak, Crystal Lake; Jeffry A. Kroncke and Antoinette M. Shugrue, both McHenry. David M. Wagner, McHenry, and Barbara A. Lunzer, Crystal Lake; John T. Cannon, Naperville, and Linda A. Kidd, McHenry; Scott W. Schiavone and Chris M. Lippert, both McHenry. It also reduces the water depth in bodies of standing water be it a farm pond or a brand of Lake Michigan. Additionally, soil often carries other chemical and biological pollutants with it. Agricultural areas face water pollution from chemical soil treat­ ments, herbicides and • pesticides. Urban areas, however, also face serious soil-water pollution dif­ ficulties. Waukegan harbor, for instance, has an estimated 1.5 million pounds of PCB's in sediment. PCB's are known c a n c e r - c a u s i n g a g e n t s . ^ Because Illinois is the number two state in the nation in production of officially designated hazardous wastes, control of those wastes is an enormous problem throughout the state. Industrial regions in the North and agricultural and mining areas in downstate Illinois each contribute dangerous wastes daily. Controlling Illinois' waste, cur­ tailing soil erosion from farmland, and reaching cost-efficient solutions to urban pollution problems will be issues faced by all areas of state and local government in the time remaining to comply with the 1972 federal water quality mandates. Nontheless, the record thus far is clear as the freshest Illinois stream Water pollution in this state is declining. Water quality, inj many different ways, continues to "improve.
