»p?«^ wmmm McHENRY PLAINDEALER pih Imi % Thursday, February 22, 1951 Jersey Blouses Win Need No Ironing--Warm as Wool Span *ylon Jersey, a new blouse fabric, fashions this tailored blouse with modified bat-wins, three-qaarter sleeves and higrh, round neckline. A deep, carved yoke is edced with a covered •art Which ties at center front In a snail bow. >UN fPrftell fishley, which won't shrftifc, Is making its first appearance in blouses combining high fashion with extreme practicality. The nylon jersey, heat-set to stabilize shape and size, dries speedily and needs no ironing. It has, thus, the good nylon characteristics in combination with the look and warmth of jersey. Wrinkle recovery, too, is good. Creases hang out in a very short time. One jersey blouse knitted entirely^ of spun nylon, and designed by Penny Potter, has a deep V neck and threequarter length sleeves. Fine shirring curves sunburst fashion at the waistline to define the figure. This blouse is done in both pastels and dark colors, to harmonize or contrast with dark winter skirts. Another such blouse, simply and smoothly tailored, has a high, round neckline as focal point for jewelry touches. A deep, curved yoke is edged with a covered cord which ties at the center front in a small bow. Modified h#»t- •wing sleeves are three-quarter length. Both blouses are ideal travel companions as each can be washed in a jiffy and worn an hour or so later. Like men's nylon shirts, which also require no ironing, the nylon jersey blouses should prote popular with said* women and weekend travelers. PEE DISPARITY In a recent address at Qulncy <?harles P. Casey, state director of Public Works and Buildings stressed the need for equalization of true): and automobile license -fees un a ton-mile basis. Casey said an" "unfair disparity" exists between the two. Average passenger car taxation is $1.75 per thousand ton-mile traveled and the average truck carrying a tfross weight of 12 to 20 tons is assessed only ninty-two cents, Casey declared. ILLINOIS FAIRS It has been announced that eighty-four agricultural fairs are tentatively scheduled for next summer. The fairlh-t$e scheduled to begin as early as July 1 and will continue as late as Sept. 9. Dates for the Illinois state fair are set at Aug. 10 through 19. VEHICLE TAXES Special taxes paid by motor vehicle owners have climbed to nn all-time high peak of well over four billion dollars in 1950, the Chicago Motor club reports. With federal taxes pacing ihe parade at over a billion and a half for thi^ staggering total, traffic experts^ point out that highway programs are falling far behind, congestion is growing, parking problems remain unsolved, and the traffic death toll is taking more than 30.000 lives annually.

He sells troduct for what he is offered. . le must think meat is worth itb present price or they wouldn't pay it. I quit buying steak because I think it's too high for my pocketbook. There are other products just as nutritious that cost a lot loss. The other day I couldn't believe nty eyes. Frozen perch at thirtynine cents per pound and it*really tasted good^toty7 frice ceilin^^iire a joke, but they are imposed because the majority of the people don't know any better than to think they will be protected by them. The whole trouble'rests with the federal treasury. Interest rates on borrowed money should and must be raised by the government to cut down on the ease with wfcioh everybody can live and operate on ijpwed money. In fact, it's easier "Sorrow money than -it is to use <ur own. I In 1952 and 1933 the interest rate mus lowered in order to help get gioney into circulation. Prices rere extremely low because no loney was being used. Doesn't it ike sense that the interest rate rfhnuld be raised at such a time As this? , Did you. ever try to lift a bag of dirt thirty-two times your oWa alight? That 4s what you expect « an uifalfa seedling l-lanted one itch deep. No wonder not over hah ! [ the seed comes up. The seed ed should be made fine enough o that the seed will get enoug'i moisture to sprout planted only one-quarter inch deep. The best way to do this is to use a corregated roller generously at siding time. Farmers are getting cxrccMent stands <si\atfalfa, w:r» seedlings' «t» low as six pounds per acre this way. Another thing I found out down at Fru in and Home Week was that Northern Bronie does not crowd out legumes as soon as Southern limine. It just isn't as aggressive so your mixxture lasts longer. In order to get the best yield out of brome it must be mixed with a legume. The legume takes nitrogen from the air and feeds the brome plant, making it grow big and dark green. McHenry county is truly a dairy county. We have almost ten per cent of the cows in D.H.I.A. testing in Illinois in McHenry county. There are 102 counties with 40,- 000 cows on test and we have 4,000 on test. The College of Agriculture runs some screwy experiments sometimes to prove what seems some very oovious things. Take for instance the importance of rotation. Fertilizer is a waste of money without rotation as shown by the college. ' A plot of ground had continuous corn on it for a long time and a check plot (no fertilizer) yielded fifty-seven bushels i»f corn. Another plot had 132 pounds per acre of 3-12-12 and yielded sixtyfour bushels at a cost of $2.64 per acre. A total of 120 pounds of nitrogen in addition to the 3-12-12 on another plot yielded sixty-five bushels at a total cost of $14.50 per acre. No money there. On another plot they put on 400 pounds of 0-20-0 and 200 pounds of muriate of potash at a cost of $14.50 per acre and got a yield of sixty-nine bushels. That about paid out. On another plot they put 12ft pounds of nitrogen, 400 pounds of 0-20-0, and 200 pounds of muriate of potash per acre at a cost of $26.40 per acre and got a yield of seventy-four bushels. No money made there. On another plot with a good rotation of corn, oats and legumes for hay and pasture with lime ap« plied where it was needed the yield was eighty-two bushels. And where the same rotation with lime and ait average annual expenditure for rock phosphate and potash of $5.1 S per acre the yield was ninety-two bushels per acre This information seems unimportant perhaps because we assume everyone had a good rotation. That is where we are wrong. Everybody intends to get around to a good rotation some day soon but in tne meantime are spending good money for fertilizers. No, I'm not contradicting myself from last week when I said some farmers were buying four timeu as much fertilizers as the average and realizing 900 per cent return on their investment. They were not putting all that fertilizer on cash crops. They wer? putting it on hay and pasture in a good rotation.
