Haytex Baity Products Wattles Drug Store WINDBREAK TAILORS WINTER WEATltER ON YOUR FARM Every farmer knows how much protection buildings provide in winter, says W. F. BUlkley, extension forester at the University of Illinois College of Agriculture. A windbreak can give protection in the open spaces between buildings. Bulkley reports that farmers who hare established windbreaks on their farms are enthusiastic about how comfortable they make outside work when north and west winds are blowing. Protected feed lots make livestock more comfortable, too, and lower the feed requirements of animals, since they need to use less of IJieir feed intake to keep warm. Douglas fir and Norway spruce, alone or in combination, are probably the^two best varieties of trees for Illinois windbreaks, Bulkley says. But you can use other spec es in small groups to give some variety to your windbreak. There are many combinations of trees, but it is usually better for most farms to plant only one variety. The size of trees to plant depends on how much you want to pay and how long you want to wait until your windbreak is effective. You can buy the larger balled and burlapped stock or the smaller bar A root stock for direct planting. Or you can grow your own transplants in the garden, which is the cheapest but the method requiring the moat titne. Locate your windbreak now and order the trees you will need See your county farm adviser for additional help, or write to the College of Apiculture, Urbana, for a copy of Circular 38, "Windbreaks for Illinois Farmsteads."

McHenry Legion Post 491, it was I decided that the local public i ought to know mone about' the j many and varied activities of' the post. In furtherance of this' thought, a member was appointed to compile each week such news of the Post as may have public interest and. submit it, to our McHenry Plaindealer -for publication. 4 •' The members of the last meeting were privileged to hear a talk by Cail Poedtke, a sophomore of our McHenry high school, who spoke on the meaning of the Legion Creed. Young Poedtke won top honors in the county American Legion oratorical contest. The winner of the national contest gets a fouryear scholarship to any school in the United Stat,es, and in addition, a check for $4,000. Two weeks ago the rifle squad of the Post appeared in full force at McCullom Lake to help the Kiwanis Club, of .McHenry Township put on their tWrd annual Ice Carnival. v The • rifle squad is participating in a program to provide an indoor and~ outdoor shodtlnfc range for our adult and young people. This will provide one more recreational activity for our community. William Green, commander of the McHenry 'County Council of the American Legion, spoke to the guests about the many benefits accruing from membership ;n McHenry Post 491 and it was felt that the following excerpt from his talk was of interest: "You are a part of approximately 19 million Veterans who have served your country during the time of war. It is for you that a grateful country has made laws for your benefit in part payment for .your services while a member of the Armed Forces. It is also your service organization that has supported and fought for the enactment and continuance of these laws. Do you, as a veteran, appreciate this service ? It is our opihion that the veteran does appreciate it. Maybe we have never taken time to find out Just what is being done by our local, state and national organizations of the American Legion in regard to these benefits, and also their community service programs. We of the local Post of the Arnerii time to -feed can Legion believe that if every vetfeftui ih thii loc&lity would take time to' investigate bur work he would gladly join and lend his support to the many programs that this Post iponsors. The McHenry Post has a beautiful ciud house and many interesting programs that should be enjoyed by all veterans. If you are a former member, drop in and renew your friends and become better acquainted with the work of the club. If you have never joined, now is the time to get in and enjoy all of the facilities and privileges of membership." Comrade Hugh Saynor reported that the McHenry Post will hold a. mass initiation of all new Legion members of McHenry county on Sunday, March 8, at 2:30 p.m., at' the McHenry high school gymnasium..
