The Illinois State Bar association warns that you have just become the victim of a "scam" operator - a fraudulent business debtor who had no intention of paying. This type of operation can take place in any locale, no matter what the population size. Quick action by the state's attorneys, both county and federal, has assisted in lessening such operations, however, as any evil, they are always around and make quick a p p e a r a n c e s a n d disappearances at any given time and in any given location around the state. The Illinois State Bar association emphasizes that a victim must act promptly to obtain legal action against the operators. A scam normally sets up a front operator at an established small retail business which the scam acquires. Such businesses usually deal in hard-to-trace mercha*Hi*p such as jewelry and small appliances. The scam operation uses the acquired good credit rating, and orders as much merchandise as possible on a non-solicited purchase order. Hie goods then flow into the store and are sold out the back door for the best possible price to a ready market of hustlers and retailers anxious to make a fast buck. After the credit reports are revised and time passes while creditors place claims for collection, the store closes, and the front operator or president of the corporation disappears. An attorney can advise his client not to make sales without knowing his customers. He can also # recommend an involuntary bankruptcy in order to avail himself of the authority of the U.S. Attorney and such related agencies as the F.B.I., postal inspectors, I.B.I., who can attempt to assist in a recovery for creditors, or at least find the operator for prosecution. The Illinois State Bar association says that this is an extreme case, since most debtors originally buy with every intention of paying. However, when they realize that credit is easy to obtain and that collection procedures are not efficient in stopping their operation, they continue to obtain merchandise and ultimately refuse to pay. For these debtors, suit must be tued and every legal enforcement must be utilized in order to exact payment. If the debtor is pressed hard, the necessary funds somehow hianage to appear. • - Really ftappy "Remember . what I told you last Monday, children-- that you should all try to make someone happy during the week?" asked the teach­ er.

The crop has attained this position because of its satisfactory performance from year to year. Oats grow best in cool weather, so plant them as soon as you can prepare a seedbed. Early planting gives oats a headstart on weeds and assures that the crop will flower before hot weather. One reason why spring oats are not generally profitable in southern Illinois is that serious yield reductions occur when temperatures reach uie 95-degree mark during the oat-flowering period. Oats don't require a finely prepared seedbed. Seedlings arel strong and can push through rough seedbeds. Jests show that drilling in­ creases yields 7 to 10 percent over broadcasting. The normal seeding rate when drilling is 2 to 2M bushels per acre. Phosphorus is especially needed during the early growth period, but must be in ample supply throughout the growing season. Rates will vary with soU test levels. In many fields, oat yields can be improved by the addition of nitr tilizJf. However .even lovffrfe-reSistant variettef may lodge u too much is Baling and marketing straw can make oats more profitable for many growers. And har­ vesting oats as hay or wilted silage can maximize returns for livestock producers. Plant early, fertilize properly, and use high-yielding varieties to get the highest returns from your oat crop. The top 5 high-yielding varieties for oat crops for MeHgyy County for 1973 were OTTER*66.2Bu-Acre-U. of Minnesota - white oat - good straw - resistance to smut - good resistance to leaf and stem rusts - high yielding. DAL-63.8Bu-acre- Wis. oat - taller than froker. Dal is resistant to smut. FROKER - 59.7 Bu-Acre - University of Wisconsin - late maturing - good straw strength • improved leaf rust resistance • resistance to stem rusts and smut - Froker is high in yield amf is a tall variety providing plenty of straw. CLINTLAND 64 - 56.6 Bu- Acre"- medium in height, medium in maturity and has good straw strength - good test weight - grain color is yellow and is adapted to better soils. Susceptible to some rusts. jKQLDEN - 56.5 Bu-Acre - Wisconsin oat - yellow oat - good test weight - well filled ' - resistance to smut and races of stem rust • resistance to some crown rusts - medium in straw height with good lodging resistance. The oat plots for McHenry county were low in yield this past year due to excess rain, crown rust, yellow dwarf and extreme heat at flowering. John Pfingsten was our 1973 cooperator for our oat variety plots. We extend him a sincere thank-you from the McHenry county cooperative Extension service. V • SPRING BARLEY Spring barley matures later than spring oats and is more sensitive to high temperatures and drought. Therefore, early planting, at 1% bushels' per acre, is especially important. Other production practices are about the same as for spring oats. Harvest spring barley as soon as it is ripe because of the danger of excessive lodging. ° 7\ "WASH & WEAR" HAIR CUTS FOR gals on the go • Layer Cuts • Shags • Naturals $10.00 JAME'S i 385-7771 spurgeons & SWAYS TO SAVE WJ COUNT THEM ALL AT SPURGEOfc'S 67TH ANNIVERSARY SALE-HURRY!
