Tell Mose I always knew the Sports Dept. was the most necessary item in the whole darned sheet!" Thanks, fill ~ The ywnfc boys *n "tfce Junior Sports program gave the crowd a good time. There were some laughs and also plenty of excitement as the game went Into an overtime.. The Co-ops followed by beating the Townsend five of Woodstock. Stuessy worked the game and re- «^rked that it was one of the eanest games he has seen. Lest we forget, the Co-ops . and Forester lives will play Crystal Lake here next Sunday night. Crystal Lake has some good basketball players. Watch 'em! Somebody must have hidden the high school score book. Arrangements for having the games reported the past couple of weeks gpnt haywire. We might suspect a covering up of some of the games, but can't understand not letting the world know about beating. Harvard and St. Mary's of Woodstock. Just crossed wires, we guess. "MABCH OF DIMES'* WINNER AS CO-OPS BEAT T0WNSEND8 The Warriors will play.their last home game on next Tuesday night when the classy Lake Geneva cagers come to town. ®On Friday of this week, the Warriors travel to Marengo to meet the county ehamps. If there are any moans about McHenry - being paired with Dundee in the first game of the Regional Tournament, just think of Woodstock having to play Elgin. We should have the schedule of the tournament games tor next fjeek. Leo Stilling has been all smiles since bowling a 645 series With the 7 .o'clock Foresters last Friday night. Games of 221-213-211 would make Andy Varipapi smile. And you might take a peek at that 84< game ro'led by Hagberg Jr. While you're at it, perhaps Dick Hester wouldn't fee bashful about his 234 game. $ Andy Paluck is staging some special matches at the Palace that hold more than usual interest and significance. A large crowd turned out Tuesday night to watch a couple of interesting basketball games in the local gym. Not alone to watch basketball did this crowd show up, but to aid in the "March of Dimes." That's where the proceeds went. The. Co-ops defeated the Woodstock Townsends 58 ti 41 in a cleanly fought game. It took a couple of minutes of firing away at the baskets before either team could connect. Then the boys warmed up and things began to click. Stake, a big fellow, kept the , points department moving along for ;the Townsends in the first halt I as the guards fed the ball to him close to his basket. He scored 13 !of his 17 point total in the first half. j Mcftenry's scoring was well j divided, with Bud Miller sparking ! the offense when the home team moved ahead in the third quarter. | In the preliminary game. Art ! Jackson and Bob Kilday coached grade school boys, who are playing under the local youth prdgram. Players were substituted in. such a manner as to keep the score nip-and-tuck. The "Golds" finally beat the "Blacks" 24 to 22 in an | overtime tussle that proved a great crowd-pleaser. | Aim fired a' long shot through the net to tie the score at 22-all as time ran out. The only score I in the overtime came when Bolger j spotted Jacobs!n wide open near the basket. Bolger passed over the front line of defense and Jacobisin flipped the ball through the net as slick as a whistle. J The young fellows are learning to handle a basketball and should I benefit greatly through the traln- 'ing received in the youth program. We give you the names of the young players and the number of baskets scored by each.

Despite a record crop and soaring prices, the American farmer made less mpney in 1948 than he made in 1947, according to William P. Chew, I n f o r m a t i o n S p e c i a l i s t , U n i t e d 8tates Department of Agriculture. Mr. Chew, in an article on agriculture written for the • WorW *Book Encyclopedia, attributes the decreasing net income of farmers to rising production costs. Chew's article reports that the 1948 crop production on United States farms was the largest on record by a wide margin. Feed grains, led by a record corn crop, reached a new high. Oats and Sorghum grains made near-record Crops. Barley production was above average. Production of the four principal teed grains, along with. stocks on hand, gave a feed-grain supply almost a third greater than that of the preivous year. With the number of livestock the smallest in ten years, the feed supply per animal became large. This fact assured early expansion in livestock raising. , Food grain production was the Circumventing Botulism ! second largest on record.

Big Floods and Small Floods on the main riverif usually occur during the winter and early spring, but floods on small streams are more likely during the summer, specialists of the U. S. department of agriculture point out. Newspapers headline the big floods which affect towns, cities, industrial areas and large farm areas in tfee bottomlands, but seldom mention the many floods along small streams, which may damage only parts of individual farms along the stream. Ninety years of records of flood peaks on the Ohio river at Cincinnati (a drainage area of 78,580 square miles) show that 85 floods occurred during the winter and spring months and only five in the remainder of the year. In contrast the 11 years of records of a smatl Ohio watershed of less than 10 square miles show only one early spring flood; the other 10 floods occurred during the summer, the growing season for crops.
