The quota at Wonder Lake is only $700. Branch Chairman Ruth Redman said that since Sunday donations have come in from the American Legion post and Woman's club, as well as from some of the workers, but the amount* have not yet been totalled. The drive Sunday started with a luncheon at Nativity Lutheran church, with the Rev. Burtoii Sohroeder aokihg the blessing. County Red Cross Drive Chairman James Irving said that it seemed particularly fitting for the drive to start from a church. Four sections of two subdivisions (Lookout Point and Indian Ridge) have not yet been covered because the workers were 11! and- unable to work Sunday. However, those who live in the areas will be visited within a few days. Mrs. Redman said .that any person "not visited, other than in the subdivisions not called on, should contact her directly to make a donation. Mrs. Redman expressed her appreciation pf the cooperation she received from her workers, from the chapter headquarters and the local deputies who aided in watching the money and checking on the workers.

McHenry County Through The Yean by Marie Schaettgen BOND SALES FOE 1954 EXPECTED T0t? TOP '53 TOTAL ' Savings Bonds sales are expected to top those of 1053, is the forecast of Earl O. Shreve, national director of the U. S. Savings Bonds division, treasury department. Mr. Shreve, recently appointed head of the U. S. Savings Bonds program, was president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, and vu e-nresident of sales of the GeneiU Electric company. He further pointed out that the 1953 sales of E and H bonds set a post-war record dating back to 1946. "The fine sales record of 1953 was made possible by the patriotic service to the Savings Bonds program given by all Americans across the land," Mr. Shreve said. "And the volunteer workers and groups who contributed so unselfishly to make the program's success possible will be depended upon for an even greater effort by the Treasury in 1954." Labor and management, the media of advertising and communication, bankers, farmers, negro and women's groups, and organizations of all types played important roles in the program's success. The Savings Bonds program is essentially made possible by the public at large and the nation-wide volunteer organization. "Cash sales of Series E and H bonds, made wholly to individual citizens, will total' around $4,380,000,000 for the calendar year of 1953", Mr. Shreve said. "I am completely .optimistic about the increased sales of U. S. Savings Bonds in 1954", he added. "More and more America wi are discovering for' -them* Selves each day the tremendous advantages of savings with U. S. Savings Bonds. The payroll savings plan available to millions of employees throughtout the country, and the systematic bonda- month savings plan 1b available in all banks." .Chapter IS • Hartiand , In 1884 the board of supervisors voted to appropriate * $25,000 for the purchase, of land to be used as a "home." This amount, of course, to include the building and improvements .necessary. A 5 per cent boiid issue was floated to raise the money. The J. C. Allen farm wa£ finally purchased for $6,000. The remaining $19,000 was used for building. / . . , Resources and Industrie* * McHenry county is not, primarily, a manufacturing district since there are no large cities in the territory. As a farming region it now ranks among the best in Illinois. Fertile soil, good climate and proximity to Chicago markets makes it ideal for agriculture, dairying and grassing. Part time farmers, or "gentlemen farmers," are becoming more and more interested in cattle feeding in these later years. The easily accessible Chicago stockyards probably exerts a great influence on this phase of farming and ranching. Then? are no huge farms or ranches such as are found in the western states or in Texas, but the farmer with his 120 acres is generally prosperous and satisfied. He has all the latest equipment with which to carry on hi* particular kind of farming. The Farmer's Wife His children go to college. His wife belongs to the Home Bureau, various service organizations and cultural clubs. She has as many labor saving devices as her city sister boasts. Magazines, daily newspapers, radio and TV keep her abreast of the times. Current events is not, to her, a subject the children study in school. It is life in its many facets -- it is history in the making -- it is the meaning behind the headt lines. She knows what the world thinks as well as what it does. Yet with all of her cosmopolitan interests she is still a believer in the old adage that a "yroman's place is in the home." To her this does not mean she must never leave that home. It means, rather, that her family must be well fed and cared for even if she must borrow knowledge from some foreign country or read books oh how to understand her children. Her mind la open to receive the best of the world's knowledge and she possesses the ability to apply this knowledge to benefit her own family. Her husband, the McHenry county farmer, is fortunate in being able to run a successful farm without the necessity of isolating himself and his family from the rest of the . world. He is seldom more than a few miles from a town in the county and never much more than an hour from the second largest dty in America. NO WORRY A man was nearly bankrupt and sick with worry. His doctor told him he must stop worrying, so he hired a man to worry for him. His wife scolded him. Said she, "How are you going to pay him?" He replied, "His' Job is to worry about that, too." SOIL SURVEY TO BE CONDUCTED IN NORTHEAST COUNTY * Early this spring the McHenry county soil survey party will begin the third year of soil mapping. The western ha'f of the county is now completely mapped. This year the party will be working in Richmond, Burton, Hebron, Greenwood, McHenry, Dorr and Nunda township. Burton W. Ray of the University of Illinois Agronomy department, and Louis H. Pierard of the Soil Conservation Service, will be two members of the four-man team. Two new men have not as yet been chosen. The purpose of the mapping survey is to obtain information necessary for making a new soil mtp for McHenry county. The old map, published in 1921, has I been found to be much too generalized to supply an &>:cuiate knowledge of detailed land condi'ions. Such detaile-i information is needed today in order to take full advantage of new ideas brought about by recent agricultural experiments. The maps are also used by the Soil 'Conservation Service to h®lp farmei3 make conservation plans for their individual farms. The procedure followed by a soil survey party in mapping a county is first to outline two sections of land on an aerial photograph which Is approximately twelve square inches. This is the area that one man will work in for two or three days. Next, the soil mapper walks into the outlined area and begins to make borings with a soil auger to a depth -»f fortytwo inches or more. He examines the soil brought up by the auger and determines what soil type it is. Over one-hundred different soil types have been mapped in McHenry county. After determining the extent of that particular soil type, the area is outlined by a pencil-line 0:1 the photograph. The percentage of slope is then calculated by using a specially designed instrument. Then the depth of the remaining top-soil is determined by shallower borings. All this information is abbreviated by using a number to indicate the soil type, a letter to represent the percentage of slope, and another number to designate the remaining depth of top-soil. This combination of numbers and letters written within the outlined area and the operation is completed. Since farm boundaries 4re crossed many times during the mapping of two sections, the full cooperation and consideration of farmers and land owners is needed to get the job done well. So if you see a fellow J* aring light gray or tan work clothes and carrying a shiny soil auger walking through your back pasture, he's up to no mischief, he's only trying to get a job done. According to surveyor's ore, 36 square miles comprise township.
