Farm Bureau has "a "wonderful opportunity to present a constructive program Tor the future" in the new sessions of state and national administrations, President Charles B. Shuman of the Illinois Agricultural Association says. ' "At national and state levels, the year 1953 brings us "ft clean slate with new hands to guide the chalk." he said editorially in <the January issue of the IAA magazine, The Record. , The IAA is the nation's largest statewide Farm Bureau organization with 191,000 farm families as members. Shuman called on every Farm Bureau member to| "carefully study" state and national policies as reflected in resolutions adopted at recent annual meetings of the IAA and the American Farm Bureau Federation. "Never before in the history of our organization has the thinking of the members at the 'grass roots* been so ,carefully and accurately channeled to the resolutions committee/' he said. He also lauded Ezra T. Benson, who will be the new secretary of agriculture under President-Elect Eisenhower. "A fine, capable man with a wonderful background of experience in farming and agriculture generally," is how he described Benson. But Shuman warned that one man cannot "successfully cope with the well entrenched forces that have dominated our national government." He said that the "voluntary organization of farmers committed to the preservation of the free choice system" should "help guide the chalk marks that will be written on the clean slate." ..STAR FLAIYEBk Robert Nolan, of Wauconda i stamped himself as the University of Miami freshman football player of the year when he scored a touchdown and shattered a ,:«U. of M. receiving record by | catching eight forward passes against the University of Georgia.

If '58 WINDER WHEAT The fall" sowing of winter wheat in Illinois for harvest in 1953 is estimated at 2,032,000 acres, according to a crop report issued by the state and federal departments of agriculture. This is about ten per cent more than the 1952 acreage, and 37 per cent higher than the tenyear average. Dry weather in September and October afforded g o c d conditions for • sowing wheat, but also resulted in a shortage of soil moisture. The top growth of the wheat is extremely short. Average growing conditions frorp now until harvest could produce a crop of some 34,500,000 bushels, compared with 41,600,000 bushels in 1952 and the ten-year average of 26.900,000 bushels, the report says. There is No Substitute For Good Plastering, Phone McHenry 1189 f o r PIANOS or ORGANS See the largest and finest selection In the l*ox Valley -- at -- Every driver should nude* and keep two sets of New Year's resolutions--one to live by and another to drive by--advised Chas. M. Hay4s president Of the Chicago Motor club. "The primary pledge for ^1^63 should be a personal r^adl've to protect the lives of children," Hayes said. "The second and equally important objective should be to substantially reduce the terrible toll of 30,500 American lives lost in 1952 in traffic." He added, "This aim can be accomplished if every person operating a motor car vows sincerely to follow simple and basic rules of the road and to keep alert every minute spent behind Ithe wheel." Boiled down, these essential rules taken from the Illinois Motor Vehicle Law- can include: Observe Safe Speed--The basic speed law is "No person shall drive a Vehicle . . . upon any public highway . . . at a speed greater than is reasonable and proper having regard to the traffic and the use of the way or so as to endanger the life or limb or injure the property of any person." For safety, motorists should also observe and abide by the directions of signs limiting speed. Observe Traffic Signs And Signals--Motorists .should be careful to obserVe ail traffic signs, signals and markings erected to warn, regulate and guide them. This includes stop signs at through streets or highways, slow or caution signs, traffic control signals, flashing signals and signs indicating unusual conditions such as "curve", "narrow bridge," "school zone" .and the like. Gi^e Signals Before Turning 'And Stopping--Many collisions occur because one motorist cannot anticipate the action of another who suddenly stops or turns.. Motorists should exercise care in giving the signals by hand or mechanical or electrical device as required by the law. Yield Right Of Way To Pedestrians-- At traffic control signkls pedestrians are subject to their directions. Where traffic control signals are not in place or are not operating, motorists are required to yield the right of way to allow pedestrians to cross in crosswalks at an intersection whether such crosswalk be marked or not. When a vehicle is stepped at a crosswalk to permit a pedestrian to cross, a motorist approaching from the i rear shall not overtake the ptqOrj ped vehicle.

Keep In Proper Traffic Lane-- Generally a slow moving vehicle should remain in the right hand lane, or give way to the right upon audible signal without increasing its speed until the overtaking vehicle has passed. Overtaking vehicles should not pass on the right unless on a roadway with unobstructed pavement of four or more lanes of moving traffic, CROP SUMMAR*- $ T h e " r e c e n t l y - i s s u e d a n n u a l crop summary of the state and federal departments of agriculture shows that Illinois farmers produced field crops valued at 1,359 million dollars .in 1952, compared with 1,379 million dollars in 1951. The acreage of crops harvested in 1952 was a fraction of one per cent smaller than in the preceding year. Small increases in corn and wheat acreage were offset by decreases in soybeans and hay. A cor/i crop of 517 million bushels, eight per cent bigger than in 1951, is the second largest on record. The estimated yield of 58 bushels per acre is seven bushels higher than the ten-year average. The 85 million bushel soybean crop, is 15 per cent above the ten-year average but 11 per cent under the 1951 production. Illinois farmers harvested 124 million bushels of oats in 1952, compared with 134 million bushels in 1961. The 1952 wheat crop totaled 41.6 million bushels, a fourth bigger than the 1951 production.
