NATIONAL FFA WEEK OBSERVED ' BY LOCAL CHAPTER (Continued from Page 1) McHenry residents will te interested in the activities of three former local men, brothers whose total ages reach 232 years. They are the Kamholz brothers, two of whom now reside in Cary and the third in Colorado. At left is Herman F. Kamholz, 78, who was born in McHenry Jan. 20, 1882, and now lives in Cary. In October of 1958 he and his wife celebrated their fifty-sixth wedding anniversary, but since then she died. It was in 1903 that he moved to Cary from, his native McHenry. After _ thirty years as an employee of the Cary Country club, he retired because of poor health. Pictured with Herman Kamholz is Albert J„ better known to his many McHenry friends "as "Ollie". He was born 75, years ago, on Sept. 17. 1884, and was employed by William Spencer in the McHen.y Flour Mills fo& thirty-one arid a half years. He resided in McHenry for seventy years, moving to Cary to live with his son, Robert L. Kamholz and wife, five years ago. At right is Henry C. (Curly) Kamholz, at 79 the oldest of the three. He was born in McHenry Jan. 10, 1881 and on Oct. 1, 1960, with his wife will celebrate their golden wedding anniversary. For more than thirty years he operated a hardware store and plumbing and heating business in McHenry. They moved to Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 15,^1941, and lived there fourteen years. Four years ago they moved to Cortez, Colo. 1\ The Olympic games, part I which are being held in Squaw Y'alley, Calif., in February, are attracting the attention of most sports-minded folks. Realizing that they were so important ! to the ancient Greeks that they ! were used to measure time, >t ! is hard to believe that for ! many centuries the games did- | n't ox'st. I And it all started because the famed emperor Nero insisted on entering the games and was such a poor athlete that he lowered the standards. Af- . ter a period of deterioration, 1 they were abolished and cenj turies passed while-earthquake • i and floods buried the plain of • Olvmpia under gravel and soil. When excavators found the I ruins of the ancient stadium in 1878, interest in the games j was revived. ; And isn't this wise thought worthy of the attention of most of us? "Take a lesson from ! the whale: the only time he gets harpooned is when he comes up to spout." This Business - Fermipcr LOOK FOR NEW FROZEN DINNER Creamed Chicken Probably one of the most ! confusing things to farm people and non-farm people alike j is the "variety" of statistics is- { sued each year on the income i of farmers. There just doesn'l seem to be any standard used by official and unoffical agencies that reflects accurately the true economic status of the farmer. A classic example of the multiple standards used was published recently by the University of Illinois. Thi^ example showed it is possible for a farmer to use three different ways of figuring costs and income and show a range in net loss or profit from $67 profit to a $37 loss per beef cow in a 25-cow herd. Farmer A figures his feed cost on the basis of value of i the grain, protein and minerals and cost of harvesting hay and pasture. He makes no other ! charge for the hay and pasture because he reasons that they would not be used except for the beef cattle. * Since he already had the buildings and labor supply, he Also makes no direct charge for them. And he does not figure any interest on his investment in cattle. The way he figures it. the money-making prospects for beef cows look rather optimistic. His income exceeds his costs by $87.68 per cow. Farmer B reasons that if he did not feed the hay and pasture to the cows, he could sell it, feed it to other livestock or rent the pasture out and get a good return. He also includes depreciation and other fixed costs on machinery and equipment, as well as interest on his investment in cattle. He does not figure any building or labor costs, as thevbuiidings already on the farm~a-fle adequate and he can handle the cattle without hiring extra labor. His income exceeds his costs by $4.02 per cow. Farmer C maintains that the beef herd should pay not only all the costs figured bj Farmer B, but also the costs of buildings and $1.00 an hour for labor. He would also like the herd to cany some of the general farm expense -- those costs that cannot be charged directly to any one crop or livestock enterprise but that must be paid in some way. The way he figures it. his herd, including the calves he feeds out, lack $37.12 of paying all costs. Or. to put it another way. Farmer C would need to get about $28.50 for his fat calves to pay all costs, including interest on investment and a charge of $1.00 an hour for labor. So there you have it . . . three different ways of figuring costs, and three different results. All three methods, and maybe a few more, undoubtedly show up in national surveys or census which purport to show the solvency or insolvency of the farmer. Let's hope that the recently taken agricultural census -- the results of whidi are due for release this spring -- will be little more conclusive.

Local officers include Gary Freund, president; Dick-Stilling. secretary; Frank Diedrich, reporter; Jim Etten. sentinel; and E. A. Rosio, adviser. The McHenry chapter feels that tne future of farming is brighter with each new year. The rapid increasing population in. the United States and the world will eventually create a heavy demand for food which will require greater production instead of restrictions on production. Farmers should then receive more just payment for the products of their toil. This chapter also believes that the family farm must remain the basic unit of a stable agriculture. Algae tanks, sea weed harvester and corporation farmers will have a very difficult task to replace highly efficient family farmers to whom farming is a way of making a living and more important, a way of life.
