ILTammeae ? iu 5 tO "Here Lies a Farmer and an Honest Man." "Gee," said the community jokester, "When did they start burying twp people in the ! same grave." What a joke insert here, right after March 1 Trf*y. A fellow Wk8 In the other day Who had sold his farm and had a complete soil test made on the farm last fall. He got the report and said the new owner offered, him half price on it. I told him he ought to offer him double what he paid for it because it is done and ready to use. There is no Use of anybody ex- attng a soil test that hasn't yet n made available for their use to fertilise the land this spring at seeding time. It can't be done. Oh. It can, maybe, but we cannot afford to pick up and test much less than the entire farm and certainly not small patches at 20 cents per acre. So, we hafe to test fairly I large acreages on a farm in order 'to pay out and this can't be done with large ponds on the place. We b0e to miss them. So, it really lsi*t practical to get out and pick np samples until farmers get in the field. Samples are supposed to dry a couple of weeks before testing. A young farmer came in the other day who said he went to a seed dealer last year and asked for a hay and pasture mixture. He told them how many acres he had and f led them to deliver the seed nwessary to seed It. They delivered and he sowed 29 pounds pet acre. When farmers are sowing from 10 to 12 pounds per acre and getting good stands with proper seeding equipment, he could easily pay for one of these new combination, double corrigated rollers with a seed box mounted on top tn one year by running his own business. Machinery is high but seed is a darn sight higher because - the machine will probably last twenty years. A Mr. Wilke of Caledonia reported recently at the Northern Illinois!. Land Council meeting at Am boy that he harvested 3,000 pounds of brome seed, 464 bales of hay off six acres last year and pastured eighty sheep from July to November. He fertilised it with nitrogen fertiliser when the alfalfa disappeared after the second year. Brome is a wonderful crop. A Canadian veterinarian reported that trials on bloat in Canada proved no cases of'bloat where the farms were well phosphated. Cracker Johnson at St. Charles says he has not had any bloat reported on the farms he managed. He is a great believer in ptaodfchate --in fact, he sells it, or used to. He says grass farming is wonderful, but it cant be done if all the neighbors do the same. He has no machinery or use for it but when he does plow up a field he geits the neighbors to do it. Paul Montavan oi DeKalb said the time to put hay in the silo is when it Is making the most milk. Putting it in the silo too old for pasture or for hay won't make it any better. . He says one-third of their herd other night at the D.H.I.A. annaal meeting, said he lifted Information from McHenry county herd records to show the value of testing. He took twenty herds that had been testing ten years or more by 1949. In their first year their herd average was 318 pounds of fat and in 1949 they averaged S98 pounds. Very few people buy a high herd. The years of apprenticeship as a dairyman usually costs dearly. FLAY YEAfi ON APRIL Uwd Cur DHIHI Mart Fik With OPS OHte is over six years old and completely depreciated. They average 570 pounds of fat. They have no veterinarian cost op any of these cows. Grass silage has been a regular part of their feeding program for •fourteen years. Montavan judged our grass silage contest last fall at Qob Gardner's farm. F. M. Parkinson, agricultural teacher from Pearl City, spoke before the Harvard F.^.A. father and son banquet last Thursday night. He said a small package is a guy who is all wrapped up in himself. Middle age is indicated by a day in after a night out. He said a farmer never worries. He is too busy during the day and too tired at night. Jerry Cash, in his speech the Only a very spiall percentage of the used car dealers tn the thirty-^ eighth northern Illnols counties of the Peoria OPS district have complied with the regulation requiring the filing of a statement. George E, Davis, acting administrator of the Peoria offi^&has announced. All that is required, Davis said, is a statement on the dealer's letterhead showing which one of the three trade price books he is using in setting prices. The regulation provides that no car may be sold in excess of the listed price. He may list only one of the price guides. He may not buy by one book and sell by another. Any dealer who sells a used car and who has not filed such a statement ' is in violation of the price law, penalties for which range up to a $10,000 fine or a year in jail, alers should mail this stateat once to the Peoria District OPS Office. According to the Chicago Motor club, more than 122,000 citizens of the United States returned home from Europe and the Mediterranean area during the third quarter of 1950. This figure is 37 per cent higher than that for the same quarter of 1949.

The American Passion Play requires about 60 scenes, nslng equipment and costumes valued at more than 9175,000. Over forty tons of scenery, tempered by the most elaborate new lighting system to be found in any theatrical auditorium, fade noiselessly and swiftly from one scene to another. Every scene is as correct in detail, as exhaustive world-wide research is able to determine. The local color of Biblical times, the Banners, habits and customs of til* people, and their mode of living .are correctly portrayed. So highly recognised is the authenticity of the spectacle that It haa received the endorsement alike of Catholic, Jewish and Protestant bodies. Many groups from all parts Of the country have seen the Passion Play several times and are planning to see it again this year. At no time haa the American Paaatoa Play ever been regarded br the producers as a' finished production. Since its conception It has been under constant revision, -- every effort being put forth to improve and strengthen It New scenes, properties, and effects are constantly being added* the action revised, and the spiritual atmosphere enlarged. This y e a r ' s p resentation represents twenty-eight years of consistent development With the death of Delmar D. Darrah, the aathor and; originator of the American Paaaion Play, six years ago -- some question was raised as to continuing the great Blbical Play. However, as letters were received from all over the nation expressing the need of such an Influence for good in the world today, "the Scottish Rite Bodies of Bloomington quickly determined for the continuation of the performances. The Ameri-r can Passion Play has become' the largest mall-order stage presentation In history. Tickets may be secured by writing to the American Paaaion Play, P. 0.
