'.fV- •' Thursday Jtoembsr 11, 1952 ^ l A ' - ' By W. H. Tammeos One of our good farmers, I won't mention his name, said we should say something about all the fellows who are doing a good job of farming and are not in »Farm Bureau Management Service. Well, I would, but we don't have any dope on them. (^We do follow a policy of talking about, things we know for sure. Accurate records are essential in order to know what you are talking about. No doubt, with 2425 farms in McHenry county and ' only sixty-five at present in Farm Bureau Farm Management Service, we have many more good farmers outside than inside and probably some of the best ones are on the f^it8i<}e. The best don't need it." However, toe find that some of the best ones want it by all means. They are members because they are good farmers, not good farmers because they are members. Should we say the service makes the best better? I would say so. You don't grow open pollinatcorn any more because somebody grew hybrid on your neighboring farm, or some seed corn salesman sold you seed. It just produces more and stands up better, which was easy for you to see. You wouldn't think of growing corn without plowing the ground and preparing a seed bed, putting fertilizing on the land, . cultivating tne growing corn or sprayirlg it with ^4-D. Now give me one good reason why you should expect any feed from an old bluegrass pasture that hasn't been broken up or fertilized for as long as you can remember. Why be progressive in some fields on your farm and twenty-five years behind the times on others. Do you think that makes sense? .^Bluegrass or slough gTass is wbout like open pollinated corn, while brome, alfalfa and ladino are like hybrid corn. John Brock, manager of the Northern Illinois Breeding Coop, says you find your breeding problem cows nine months earlier with artificial breeding than you do with a bull. Another thing I had never thought of is in connection with keeping a riaat cow In the barn. In summer many farmers don't want to) keep a heat cow* m the barn for the inseminator because she gets the barn dirty. That, is the place to keep her because if she is out with the herd she will cut the production of the whole herd, by stirring up all the cows. Another thing is, a cow that is jumping up on other cows very often injures her udder this is a common way of getting mastitis. If you don't want to have her in the stanch- FIAG WAVERS A great American patriot once confessed, "Sure I'm a flag waver! Can you show me a better flag to wave?" That's how the,men who belong 5° ,'"e. Veterans of Foreign Wars fe^l about their country--and we don't care a damn about the wisecracks of th^p smart alecks. Being overseas veterans, we're not self-conscious when our patriotism shows. On the contrary, we ^"lieve it's high time to teach the 'Youngsters of today there's noth- *ng corny about waving the Stars and Stripes every chance you get. That's why we are always promoting patriotic programs -- the kind that will help our kids understand what a great country America is. Stir*, we're flag wivtn, and wa'ra proud e# h. And that explains why thosa who understand tha purpose of awr flag waving never fail to say-- "THt VJF.W.

JUL "I I ion put her in a box stall but keep her out of the herd,on pasture, N , Robert Popenhagea of Ri mond says he leaves his manure spreader drag chain in gear all the way back to the barn in freezing weather so it doesn't freeze and stick. If it is thrown out of gear the bumping will cause manure on the edges of the box and beater to fall down on the chain and freeze. In a number of cases I have found that men who have recently come to America from European countries like it here but their wives don't. One fellow says his wife doesn't like to wash clothes even though she has a nice new electric washer. At home the maid did it on the board. Here the maid is down at the washing machine factory making wash machines. Why don't farmers have any money ? Why do some make so mifch more than others now while years ago about anybody could farm? Twenty-five years ago 35 percent of the cost of raising a bushel of corn was cash and now it's 70 percent. Twenty-five years ago the farmer ; produced 40 percent of the fuel for doing business on the farm and now he buys it all. All the more reason for keeping books for comparison purposes. Arlene "Seegers of Marengo won the county safety award in 4-H this year and then her dad, leader of the club, gets his finger in the corn picker. Fate furnishes strange bedfellows. Prof. P. H. Tracy writes from Urbana that he is doing nicely after his recent operation and will be with us Dec. 17 at our next winter series meeting at Westwood school. His topic will be, "The Inrcads of Substitutes for Milk in the Manufacture of so called Dairy Products." Just to show the viciousness of this program, A. L. McWilliams, manager of Pure Milk association, said recently that ice cream companies are spending more money on these substitutes than they are on ice cream. They are selling substitute products from ten to fifteen cents a pint cheaper when their cost saving in making the stuff is only six or seven cents, and buying full page ads in Chicago newspapers to advertise it. What's the pitch here? We hope Prof. Tracy knows. Improves Flavor A pinch of sugar added to English peas or cprn in cooking greatly improves their flavor. • T H E »in lilf BY PLAfflPEALgB * ¥ ' ' . •- s ^ " i! igj Come one and all . . . for gift* for all.

BARBASOL Shave Cream ^ Tube.. .39C FLNAHIST Antihistamine MANY FACTORS CAUSE SKIDDING, MOTOR CLUB WARNS Many factors cause skidding, but speeding claims the highest rating, according to the Chicago Motor club. The most frequent causes are: Speeding up too suddenly or applying the brakes too hard; driving too fast while on rough roads or while crossing the crown of a road; uneven braking on the four wheels; improperly inflated tires; worn tires which result in a low coefficient of friction and some* times in blowouts. If your car starts to skid, you're in trouble. There are no standard steps which will alwaya get you out successfully. However, the club has suggested these rules which are • generally wise: 1. Keep yourself under control. 2. Steer in the direction in which the rear end is skidding, but do not over-steer. 3. Avoid braking. 4. Keep the clutqh engaged. 5. Don't lift ycur foot from the accelerator pedal suddenly. As a caution for winter driving the club advises: Always reduce speed on wet or icy roads. j»'e»V White Gloves ( Selecting gloves?
