TAXXEDS 1*uch has been said about reseeding old bluegrass pastures along with the proper cultivation and fertilization. On too many farms in McIIenry county the only receding that is takipg place is along the hair line on the farmer' « sweaty brow. •So many farmers- loud themselves down with so much work ^at they have no time to do, let alone think about doing the things that would increase their effeclency and net profit., They find it impossible to get away from it all long enough to learn about new things and more important get the inspiration to 'try them. "Too busy" too often stands in the way iijf, farmers' real progress. Human nature is such that men «ust gather in groups periodicalto make progress. The competition of minds does the trick. Herein lies the weakness of the farmer who thinks he can learn by reading magazines $nd bulletins and circular^ after supper at home. One of the weaknesses of Mc- Renry county dairymen is that every stall in the barn must have a cow in it regardless of her pronation. Too often we hear of thirty cows producing only ten canb of milk or less. Of course. ' the milk check is exceedingly cashy and pays the hired man, the gas bill, and otheT cash costs. Who is the most important one though on this deal-- the farmer himself and his wife and kids? And if the whole milk check has to go for running expenses, the .wife and kids suffer. Too easily «at milk check can be a wolf in eep's clothes. NQrthern Illinois Farm Bureau Farm Management Service figures show that it takes 1.4 hours per 100 pounds of milk produced or 118 hours per cow per year. Do you know how much time it takes yon to produce 100 pounds of milk? Do vou get 60 cents, $1.00 or $2.00 per hour? If you don't know, it's about time you did l>me thinking. The lead' pencil is the most important implement on the farm and if you are not using it or are "too busy" you may be headed for trouble without knowing it The fact remains that If the average piece of ntichinery in the factory was as inefficient as the verage old milk cow in McHenry ,ounty, the factory operator would «on go broke. It's tough staying business--a lot tougher than dairying for the amount of thinking, planning, etc., necessary to stay in business. -If yon can't stay in the dairy business here you wouldn't have much chance in other parts of the country because our feed possibilities market and other factors make this one of the most favorable places to dairy in the U. S. «wording to G. W. Salisbury, head 1 the dairy department, College of Agriculture. A report on Victor Aavang, young McHenry county farmer who attended the two month winter short course at Urbana, was excellent, according to Marshall Scott, in charge of the course. He cam* through with a straight • average and was elected president of the Student Council. There were 78 enrolled and 74 completed. Their ages ran from 18 to 55. A lady 55 took the course, who owns and operates 13,000 acres of land. 8he apparently found herself with a job and wanted to le/.*n something about it Salisbury said cow numbers reached a peak in Illinois in 1944 and has been steadily decreasing ever since. From then to now the average production has gone up from 4600 pounds of milk to 5600 pounds and 250 pounds of\fat due to culling. The numper of cows dropped below a million for the first time in Illinois in 1947. Production runs from a high of 7800 pounds in Kane county to a low of 2900 pounds in Johnson county in sduthern Illinois. (by Markj Schaettgen> Among the pamphlets sent me by a leading. food company, I found one which was especially interesting since it gives the history of Hawaiian piuapple growing, as well as many illustrated recipes which look simply luscious. Quoting from the pamphlet, here is some of the story of pineapple. Hawaii lies about 2,000 miles out in the sapphire blue Pacific . . Although there are twelve islands in this group, only eight of them are inhabited. The remaining four are made up of volcanic rock. From these fabulous islands come the world's finest canned pineapple. The story begins when Columbus found the fruit growing in the West Indies in 1493. In 1813, history records that pineapple was planted in Hawaii . . . There a smiling sun, gentle rains and a rich volcanic soil worked a special sorcery on these strange new plants. By 1880 a few pineapples found their way to California. An Englishman became interested in pineapple growing. He found one drawback to the fre3h fruit--it spoiled too quickly to >xport. Canning was the Englishman's answer to the problem and one company began canning the pineapple in the island in 1910 . . . Pineapple is harvested) for canning the year 'round. It is buggested that pineapple, as well as other canned fruit be stored in a cool, dry place. Here is a recipe from the same pamphlet Ham Hawaaiau - I No. 2 can Libby's crushed pineapple. 1 1-inch thick slice ham--% cup brown sugar. Drain pineapple; reserve syrup. Place ham- on rack in Bhallow baking pan. Pour pineapple syrup over ham. Bake in slow oven 325 degrees for I hour. Combine pineapple with brown sugar. Spread over top of ham. Bake in a hot oven, 400 degrees, for additional 15 minutes. Garnish with whole beets which have been hollowed out a bit and filled with horseradish sauce (Combine % cup whipping cream* whipped stiff, with 3 tbsp. drained prepared horseradish and % teaspoon salt) S P I T Z B A R T AUCTION WILLIAM H.

National Wildlife Week To Be Observed March 16-22 National Wildlife Week this year will be dedicated to helping America's tiniest species of deer-- the diminutive Key Deer--In Its desperate fight for survival. The National Wildlife Federation, annual sponsors of the Week, has keyed its efforts to saving the rapidly-disappearing species of native wildlife. National Wildlife Week, according to Carl D. Shoemaker, conservation director of the Federation, will stress the Key Deer as the symbol of America's dwindling natural resources which may yet be saved or*5*5 restored. The Week will be observed March 16- 22. and its chairman will be Ed Dodd. nationally-known cartoonist, conservationist and outdoor enthusiast. Mr. Shoemaker said only about thirty of these unique little ani-p928, sponsored hy the non-profit constructing water holes for the animals and protective fences along highways. The Federation is supporting legislation in Congress to establish a federal sanctuary in the area. Because of the centuries-long adjustment to its own island background, the surviving herd cannot be transplanted to other regions where they might be better protected. For this reason, Mr. Shoemaker • said, the Federation is attempting to provide the protection for the deer on their home grounds. Little more than knee-high, the elusive Key Deer weighs no more than 30 to 35 pounds when full grown. Their fawns are about the 'Size of rabbits. National Wildlife Week has •been an annual observance since • m n i i i i m m i i i n i i City Council Proceedings Freund, to adjourn. Motfee carried. George P. Freund, Mayor Earl R. Walsh, City Clerk Detergent 8hampoos Nearly all of the new shampoos which have appeared on the market during the last decade have synthetic detergents as the active cleansing ingredient mals, smallest race of white-tail deer, remain alive. Menaced by poachers, predators and forest fires, they cling to a precarious existence on the Keys off tile coast of Florida. During the last year several have been killed by speeding automobiles along the overseas highway to Key West. As part of the observance of National Wildlife Week, the Federation has created a special fund which will be used first to keep a special protection officer on the job in the Key Deer area. This will supplement an effort already started by other organisations in cooperation with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Next, the Federation will help Improve the island habitat of the deeri through such measures as Federation as a means of calling public attention to the broad and pressing problems of natural resources management.

Motion by Althoff, seconded by WONDER LAKE MAH MADE APPEARANCE | ON AMERICAN FORUM By Marie Schaettgen Just recently our Wonder Lake neighbor, R. J. Wielock. was iti Washington, D. C., on busincss- 1 a b o r-management negotiations. He and some of the other men attending the conference found themselves with some time to spare and came up with the bright idea of visiting the NBC broadcasting television studio. They found they were in time for the American Forum of the Air. As they entered the studio they Were given forms on which to sign their names and write out any question they would like answered by the senators participating in the program. Mr. Wielock propounded a question but really didn't think his question would be asked as there was an audience of about 300 people. Much to his amazement, soon his name was called and before he rsaHssd what had found himself facing a a battery of spotlights and cameras. He was told to addreas his question to one of The senators. This he did and the renKtaf argument it created was quite interesting both to the studio audience and to the television watchers at home. Many of his friends and acquainces were delightfully surprised to see him on their TV screens at home. His question was this: "Do you think the Conglfssm-- will forget politics and think of the American people". It really created quite a stir and brought forth some heated discussion.

And that goes for practicing tolerance, too. Like forgetting our neighbor has a right to decide for himself whether or not to enjoy a temperate glass of beer. If we don't keep the other fellow's point of view in mind we're all liable to get "snowed under" by intolerance. Hnf WPPUEBWmi Order your rubber stamps H The Plaindealer now!

A million dollars and more were poured into research and testing -- design and tools--engineering, production and components-- to team up the combination of ride features you'll find on a Buick--and on no other car in the world. 1 ^ A million dollars and more was the price paid to work out control of endsway and side-roll on curves--to doublecheck vertical "throw" with shock absorbers and big soft-acting coil ~ springs for all four wheels --to V-brace the torque-tube keel and X-brace the frame - to cushion body and engine - and to silk out the whole operation with Dynaflow Drive.* \ou may not care how the job was done, or what it cost. But we'll lay you this: \bu're going to say "thanks a million" to Buick engineers once you get this spirited smoothie under your hands and haunches. Old familiar roads take on a new smoothness. Gone are the weave and wander, the jitter and jounce that you've felt in lesser cars. You ride with roadhugging assurance and level ease.
