By W. H. Timnnaa It sorta makes me sick the way the town kids of Woodstock break up things at the fairgrounds. Last week while taking down the picket fences where the livestock tents were, the 4-H boys who helped, piled about a case of empty poo bottles found in the tedding so we could return them. A day or two later when we went to get them they were all broken over some stones. I don't care about the bottles, but the glass is dangerous and awfully hard to clean up. We left a table out in the live-, stock area and it was broken in a dozen pieces. The light bulbc were left in the hog barn for twc days last year and whten I went to get them every one had bew broken by throwing rocks lit them. 4 All of the hard work it takes to put on the fair seems rather useless and futile when things like that happen. What makes kids do it? A number of phone calls have come in with folks wanting to sell hay as a result of our note a couple of weeks ago. We ai* not buying hay to ship south and have no intention of doing s*. We are merely calling attention to the dire need for livestock feed in the drought area. I have letters from three sources you might write if you have a carload or more to sell and are willing to load and ship it. They are: Ben Price, County Agent, Batesville, Arkansas; Seed Service company, Box 2033 DeSota Station, Memphis, 2, Tennessee; and McMinn and Son, Box 672, Abilene, Texas. If you have smaller Quantities, contact a reliable hay dealer. Sheep numbers have increased a lot in this area recently. There is much most people can learn to raise them successfully. Worms are the sheep's worst enemy and I believe 90 percent of a sheep's ailments can be attributed to them. Ewes you intend to breed this fall should be wormed now and kept on legume pasture? Phenothiazine will kill the worms and can be given easily after you get on to it. If you can't locate this stuff elsewhere, see, me. The farmer gets $4.12 for what he has in a man's suit (7.95 pounds of grease wool), 30 cents in a man's shirt (.79 pound of -lint cotton), 3.2 cents in a half oound box of cornflakes (1.05 pounds of corn), and 3.1 cents in a loaf of white bread (.912 pounds of wheat) according to the American Farm Bureau Federation Chicago office, so when the merchant tells you prices are higher because the farmer is extracting a higher price for food Or fiber he is either ignorant of the facts or is not putting the facts to you straight. Small people work with things. Big people work with ideals. , Credit is a wonderful Asset if it is available and advisable. One of the main things wrong with McHenry county farming" is that the farmer has too much to do to do anything right. He takes on too much and everything suffers profitwise. He has enough field work to do if he didn't have those 40 cows to milk and could work in the field from 6 to 6 instead of from 9 to 4. Consequently, his corn is weedy, his hay doesn't get put up 'till it's nothing but broomstraw and hi# thistles grow so that we have a' national reputation for them. Too many farmers are tired, old men with nothing to showj for it but homy hands and a' crook in their backs. 41 Judging from the number of executives from the city who own farms here, the farmer is* about the only fellow who is his own boss who isn't able to buy a farm. If these last two paragraphs are your philosophy you are on the wrong track. Farmers are successful and some of them are able to buy farms. Why? They are able to manage a farm and their time so they can get their work done properly and still have time to get away to the -county fair and other meetings where they get new ideas and ideals. A deplorable situation created by ^p6or management of government-- only 81 Vs million dollars kre spent per year on agriculture research, just half the amount spent in 1948 to support the price of potatoes and this summer we couldn't buy any. How do you get a change in administration when there are enough people working for tht government monkeying with th« price of potatoes and an that to carry the election? PICNIC SITES ey made by the state division of highways shows that Illinois has 260 roadside picnic sites at various places along its highways. More than half of these average about two acres in extent; the others are picnic spots. Most of the picnic sites have space for parking cars, and a considerable number of large tables and out-door cooking places^ are maintained for the use of tourists. • Subscribe To The flllsiiwlir KINGSIZE Q U A 1.
