STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Preserving Nature's Treasure Thirty-three McHenry naturalists toured the 1300-acre home of the late con­ servationist and author, Aldo Leopold, in Columbia county, Wis., Saturday. Leopold, often known as "The Father of Conservation," worked extensively, in the ecological sciences throughout the 1900's until his death in 1948. A Sand county Almanac, which explains the "land ethic," is Leopold's best-known book. Much of it was written on his Wisconsin property. The McHenry group's chartered bus left from Glacial park at 8 a.m., and arrived at the Leopold Memorial reserve well after noon. Frank Terbilcox, a botanist and zoologist who continues Leopold's work on the reserve, guided the group through various areas until the ride home at 5 p.m. Columbia county, known by some as "Sand county," is among the poorest in the nation, Ken Fiske, director of the McHenry County Con­ servation district, said. "It lies in the transitional band between the forests to the north, and the agricultural communities to the south," Fiske noted. "The sandy soil and in­ sufficient rainfall make it not much good for anything," added Fiske, who studied under Leopold at the University of Wisconsin in 1943. Leopold then headed the department of wildlife management. The group had an unexpected tour of the sandy countryside as the driver became lost in a maze of county roads. Finally, nearing the reserve, Chuck Hudson, naturalist for the MCCD, stressed the practical value of inac­ cessibility in preserving a natural area The 1300-acre research and educational center, bounded by the Wisconsin river, is used by graduate researchers from universities throughout the United States. Studies there soon will include the effects of snowmobile noise on deer behavior, heat flow in water bodies, and methods of propagation of native prairie grasses. Terbilcox led the McHenry group on three hikes through the reserve, including a discussion in front of the shack, a small converted chicken coop out of which Leopold lived for much of his last 12 years. Another walk included a visit with Leopold's daughter and son-in-law, who also continue his work there. Nina Bradley, Leopold's daughter, explained the Livestock Judging Workshop Beef, sheep and swine owners will want to attend the McHenry county judging workshop, according to Craig Scheidecker, McHenry county E x t e n s i o n a d v i s e r , Agriculture. The event will be held at the McHenry county fairgrounds June 9, sponsored by the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension service of Woodstock. Registration will be con­ cluded at 9 a.m., then detailed explanations for what to look for in beef, sheep, swine animajs will be discussed by Jerry Hicks, University of Illinois area Livestock specialist. Three class of beef, two swfne and two sheep classes will be judged following the explanation of what to look for. A junior and senior division will be divided at the age of 14 years old. At 1 p.m. the official placing will be announced, as well as explanation of why they were placed as they were. Winners of the contest will be announced after that and also state fair judges. In addition to livestock judging, horse judging will also take place the same day as a separate area of competition at the Horse Arena. For more details about the contest or about the McHenry county youth programs, con­ tact the McHenry County Cooperative Extension service or visit the office at 224 W. Judd street, Woodstock.

She and Dr. Bradley live in a solar-heated house on the reserve, and work with graduate students in the recently built laboratory there. Seen were a blue-winged teal nest, a pair of sandhill cranes, and Canada goose on her nest. Among the rare plants noticed were the showy orchis and showy lady's slipper orchid. Leopold wrote that Sand county is "a lean, poor land, but a rich country." After a close look inside areas of the reserve, all agreed that though the soil is poor, with proper management it can yield multitudes of plant and animal life in rich variety. The field trip was sponsored by the McHenry County Volunteer Trail Guides. Swedish "Korv," French fritters and other snacks fit to nibble this summer are slated during several June. festivals upcoming in Illinois.

Scheduled for June 19-24, the northern Illinois event also includes a "rosemaling" competition. Like the early Vikings, this old art of painting rose patterns on wood is an integral part of Swedish heritage. A_. Wednesday competition kicks off a quilt-making contest and highlights a 133 year-old quilt made by four generations of the same family. Pet show, music, a juried art fair, a Sunday parade with clowns, and a strutting horse platoon end the week's activities.

DeChartres Ren­ dezvous" June 9 and 10 near Prairie du Rocher.
