This must be obtained provide day care in the licensee's home for any child or 14ren not related, unless this care is being provided under dit supervision of a eourt or licensed child welfare agency, licenses are issued by the State Department of Children and Family Services.

One of the most important of these trends is the projection of enrollments. In the fall of 1967, there were 57.6 million pupils enrolled throughout the United States in the regular schools, public and private, at all grade lvels with total expenditures estimated at $52.2 billion for the school year 1967-68. In 1960 enrollments in the regular schools totaled 46 billion. By 1967 enrollments had increased by 25.2 percent to 57.6 million, and are expected to rise by 5.7 million, or 9.9 percent to 63.3 million by fall 1975. The largest percentage guying in enrollment since 1960 have been in institutions of higher education. Enrollments in the public institutions of Mgher education have more than doubled, increasing nearly 100 percent from fall 1960 to 1967. Ths enrollment increase expected between fall 1967 and Call 1975 is more moderate. Enrollments in public higher education, are expected to continue to increase considerably foster than other school sectors for an eight-year gain of 43.8 percent. The public elementary and secondary school enrollments are expected to increase 6.2% by fall 1975 and to add an estimated 2.7 million piq>ils over the eight-year period, with more than half of the increase, or 1.5 million, coming in the next three years to 1970.

The Terra Cotta factory has laid off several of its men from McHenry as well as Crystal Lake and every employee has received a cut of ten percent in wages.

(A Tribute to Constitution Week, September 17-2S) ^ This is the week designated as "Constitution Week" to e^nphasize the vital relation of citizenship to the Constitution. We should never forget that United States citizenship is a privilege. President Grover Cleveland summed it up when he said: As we rejoice in the patriotism and devotion of those who lived a hundred years ago, so may others who follow us rejoice in our jealous love of constitutional liberty." We should never forget that our obilgations as United States Citizens are to safeguard our constitutional liberties in order that 6ur children and grandchildren may also enjoy these privileges in the years to come. -- American Citizenship Committee ILLINOIS STATE BAR ASSOCIATION (This message was published as a public service by this newspaper) BEATING THE TRAFFIC . . .To beat Munich traffic jams, this young lady carries a secondary means of transportation.

The most perplexing item remaining on the legislative agenda is probably HJt. 17126, a Mill to extend "the Food and Agriculture Act of 1965." For want of a creative new approach the Congress appears bent on delaying a forthright attack on the deep -rooted problems of American agriculture. Consequently, the immediate question appears to be whether the Congress will meet the problem head on next year or defer action until the year after -- or the year after that. The existing agricultural "support and subsidy" program was enacted as a depression antidote in 1933. The same general formula is being followed 35 years later at a cost to the American taxpayer of more than $2.5 billion per year. Despite this exorbitant overhead, American farmers themselves continue to suffer economic detriment muter a huge bureaucracy directed from Washington. The hardest hit have been the small family farmers, more than 2 million of whom netted an average of only $1,500 each in 1967 under the existing law. Indeed, the large commercial farm operators who have no need for subsidy payments are the chief beneficiaries of the present program. One commercial operator in the state of California collected more than $4 million from the government in 1967. There are many who favor junking the existing farm program and moving agriculture more closely into our private enterprise system. One such recommendation delineated by Robert G. Lewis of Washington, D.C. urges abandonment of present foreign aid efforts aimed at self-sufficiency in food production abroad. Mr. Lewis' studj| recommends maximum U.sf production of agricultural goods with shipment of surpluses to the undernourishes peoples in other parts of the world. In other words, instead of encouraging food production by the people in those, areias would receive our agricultural surpluses and,, in turn, they would be encouraged to develop the products of their local industries and artisans for which there is demand in this and other countries. Mr. Lewis, a former Department of Agriculture official, suggests, "the present day population explosion" should be translated into "a tremendous boom" to this nation's farming and food business. Lewis recommends the U.S. to move: "Toward the expansion of demand, rather than contraction of supply; "Toward aggressive marketbuilding for American farm products, rather than withdrawal of substantial American farming resources from competition in world markets; "Toward enterprise, imagination and innovation in efforts to enable potential customers to buy more of the food than they need and which we can supply economically, rather than encouraging them to * adept inefficient self-sufficiency national economic and trade policies." It is not enough to criticize 'outworn, inefficient and extravagant programs such as exist in agriculture. Indeed, it is necessary to outline new and better McCLORY REPORTS From Washington approaches to this problem which affects our entire Nation. Some 850,000 people quit America's farms in 1967 principally for economic reasons. This exodus from the rural areas to urban centers helped to compound the problem in our American cities. An agricultural program which Improves economic conditions on the farm will concurrently spread its benefits to the cities. One of the sharpest cities of the existing agricultural dilemma is Democratic Senator Abraham A. Ribicoff of Connecticut. At the same time, Senator Ribicoff and a number of his Senate colleagues have offered a two-point program coupling (a) an expansion of the farmers* market and (b) an encouragement to industry to locate in rural areas. It is unlikely that any great, innovations in farm policy will be initiated during the closing weeks of this Congress. However, refusal to extend the existing law would force the Congress to adopt a new program next year. Under pressure of this kind the Congress could encourage improvements in rural and urban America and halt the debilitating conditions which have plagued American farmers since 1933. Political Corner From The Farm Acfviser Desk. FALL PLANT Shriibs • planted in the fall gain an extra half season of growth over plants installed the following spring. Root growth continues right up to the time the ground freezes. Fall-planted plants are adjusted and prepared to burst into growth at the first favorable moment next spring. Friable soils are much easier to work in the fall than wet muddy soils in the spring* Fall-planting tips: 1. Plant the tree or shrub at the same depth as it was in the nursery. 2. Do not incorporate fertilizer (Mi fall plantings as it may burn the roots. 3. Wrap all trees with tree-wrap to prevent winter sunscald. 4. Thoroughly water the tree or shrub once each week until the ground freezes. 5. Use supports to anchor a taller tree. Select your favorite trees or shrubs this weekend and then get that fall planting done anytime between now and the first part of Octofber. i WHEAT SEEDING The Hessian Fly frse-date for planting wheat is any time after Sept. 17 this year. Wheat planted before this date could be lodged by the Hessian Fly. Highest yields of wheat will be produced if wheat is seeded after Sept. 17 and before Sept. 25. WHEAT VARIETIES Gage, Scout and Ottawa are three excellent hard wheats for 1968 seeding. Benhur, Stadler, Monon, Knox and Vermillion are all good yielding soft wheat varieties. Treat all wheat seed for smut control. Destroy all leftover treated wheat seed, as even a few grains in any wheat you sell will make the load unmarketable. WHEAT FERTILITY Phosphorus: Wheat requires a large amount of readily available phosphorus. Apply 30 to 60 pounds of available P2H5 through the drill, or broadcast 60 to 120 pounds. Nitrogen: Light-colored soils need 15 to 20 pounds through the drill. Dark-colored soils do not need nitrogen in the Call. A tM •m HEADS CAMPAIGN Irl H.
