A man who did not subscribe to his hometown newspaper sent his little boy to borrow his neighbor's copy. In his haste the boy ran over an $80 hive of bees and in 10 minutes he looked like a warty squash. His father ran to his assistance/ and failing to notice the barbed wire fence/ ran into that, cutting a hole in his anatomy as well as ruining a pair of $10 trousers. The old cow took advantage of the gap in the fence and kill'ed herself eating green corn. Hearing a racket/ the wife ran out/ upset a four-gallon churn of cream into a basket of chicks, drowning the entire batch. In her haste she dropped a $135 set of false teeth, which the family dog buried thinking it was a new type of bone. The baby, having been left alone/ crawled through the spilled cream and into the parlor ruining a $250 carpet. t During the ex­ citement the oldest daughter ran away with the hired man, a stray dog broke up 11 setting hens, the calves got out and chewed the tails off four fine shirts on the clothes line/ and the cat had a batch of kittens. All this just to save 15 cents.' And in this case, the poor guy never did get to read that week's edition. DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU! SUBSCRIBE TODAY! McHenry Plaindealer Again this year, the McHenry County Fair plans an antique division for antique buffs and collectors. Mrs. Henry Szlachta heads the division with this year's judge. Leo Parenti again will share with exhibitors his tremendous knowledge of antiques. . With 1974's succesMl show as a basis, they are to place a limit on the^potal number of entries to be ac-" cepted. Last year there were 300 items entered in the com­ petition-this year they are setting the limit at 350. "The McHenry county is a treasure-house of fine antiques. We encourage owners to exhibit interest, we are suggesting that exhibitors submit a short ex­ planation of historical fact on each item entered. This will greatly enrich the showing." This year's categories are much the same as last year, with the addition of two new classes-bottles and cloisonne. Entry forms may be obtained at the fair office or in the 1975 fair book--the new pink form. Deadline for entry is July 16, with a small entry fee, plus exhibitor's pass. Prizes will range from cash to grand prize ribbons. One prize--a trophy--will be awarded "best of show." For additional information, contact Mrs. Szlachta, Mrs. John Hoch, or Mrs. Bruce Marshall and check the 1975 McHenry County Fair book. "The point of all this planning and activity has been to make Bessie V is i ts Ci ty Farm -For-A-Day Bessie and Belle are coming to Mt. Prospect's shopping center for a weekend visit with city friends June 28-29. With them will be Herman, Tony-and some growing turkeys that will I be someone^s Thanksgiving dinner in less than five months. Bessie and Belle are 4'2-month-old Holstein calves. Herman is a 1,050-pound steer. Tony is a pig-these animals are featured in "Farm- For-A-Day" that will locate at the center to enable city people to learn more about far­ ming and farmers. The exhibit by six county Farm Bureaus in northeastern Illinois will include something special for passersby. Taste treats of pork- burger, a tasty leaner- than-normal ground pork, will be served by the Bureau County Pork Producers association. Porkburgers are made from choice pork and kept at 18 percent fat. Sausage, by com­ parison, contains 30 percent fat, and pork- burgers is an in­ creasingly popular way to serve pork. A special seasoning, blended by the experienced far­ mers, is added to each four-ounce patty as it cooks. Farmers expect to have fun in the city. They've been taking "Farm-For-A-Day" to suburbia (and even to downtown Chicago) for almost a year, and they've learned much talking with city people. Almost all are friendly; most are inquisitive. Many enjoy petting the animals or watching them munch hay. "We also have a serious purpose in taking our farm at­ mosphere to the city," says. Leonard Schultz, Glenview farmer who heads this Consumer Information committee. Farmers from Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Kane, Lake and McHenry county Farm Bureaus will take turns staffing the exhibit, ready to answer questions. A special brochure, "Food Prices Today," will be distributed. It discusses the dilemma farmers and consumers share together. Latest inforamtion shows prices paid farmers are stagnant, but prices consumers must pay for their food continues to push upward. Schultz says farmers expect to inform city people about factors involved in producing food-from costs that are climbing to the impact of unseasonable rain or extreme dry weather on crop production. Farmers have found in visits to other shopping centers that city people are food- conscious and are in­ terested in what hap­ pens to farmers. Extension Comments (By George J. Young, Ex­ tension Adviser, Agriculture, McHenry county) Check Oats And Wheat You don't have to wait until harvest to begin evaluating your oat and wheat crops. Now is a good time to make a pre- harvest check of standability, tillering. and maturity uniformity among varieties. Check your own fields, neigh­ boring fields and our county oat variety demonstration plot. The oat plot contains ten varieties and is located ap­ proximately one-fourth mile west of route 23 on Dunham road on Raymond on Bill Olbrich's farm in Harvard.
