The picture is circa 1930 and underneath it reads, "While no longer in existence, the whole plan of forming the lake and developing the property surrounding it, evolved from this point. The building pictured was a real estate office." For daily information about the calendar, dial 728-1440. LAKE DRAW-DOWN The MPOA is planning to lower the lake, as it has in the past, for a four-week period beginning the third week of March and being completed the third week of April. During this time, the MPOA will con­ centrate on stump removal from the lake. The ice has begun to crack along the shoreline but has not out yet so this may delay raw-down plans slightly. If warmer weather continues, though, it should progress on schedule. COMMUNITY EVENTS March 18-Lake Draw-down to begin.

Paulson was in Washington D.C. taking part in a week-long workshop on soil conservation and the'85 Farm B01, March 8 to 15, sponsored by the Sierra Club. The purpose of the worksnop was to focus attention on the need to reform basic farm policies to achieve the long-term conservation of topsoil. Despite 50 years of federal conservation programs, which have cost taxpayers tens of billions of dollars, soil erosion remains a very serious national problem. In Illinois alone, soil erosion on more than 10 million acres of cropland, or 41 percent of the cropland in the state, is occurring at more than the rate the department of agriculture says soil can tolerate without damage to long-term produc­ tivity. * "It is not only future generations of farmers and consumers who are being hurt," Paulson explained. "Sediment and runoff from farmland pollutes lakes, streams, and drainage systems. Unless changes are made in our basic farm policies these problems will never be solved," he pointed out. The Sierra Club will be pushing for changes in the '85 Farm Bill to eliminate features of current multi-billion dollar farm programs that actually make soil erosion worse. Operation Topsoil is a special project of the McHenry County Defenders to help focus at­ tention on the need to control soil erosion and sedimentation problems in the Fox River- Chain O'Lakes basin.
