Wheat Allotments For Certain Farmers Available Farmers on land on which no wheat was seeded for grain for all of the years, 1952, 1953 and 1954, may apply for a 1955 wheat acreage allotment, according to Bert Bridges, chairman of the McHenry county agricultural stabilization and conservation committee. To be considered for an allotment on a farm which had no wheat seeded for grain for any of these years, the farmer must apply in writing to his county ASC committee by June 30, 1954. Blank application forms are available at the county A6C office in Woodstock for use in filing requests for allotments. Do you want to know how to prevent costly forest fires, Follow these rules: 1. Crush Out Your Smokes! When out-of-doors, stop to smoke in safe places only. With the side of your shoe, clear a space in the surface litter down i to the mineral soil. Drop your cigar, cigarette, butt, or pipe ash on this cleared spot. With the heel of your shoe, grind it into the ground until you're sure it's out. When driving, use your ash tray. Never throw burning material from any vehicle. 2. Break Your Match In 1\vo! This safety test will insure that the flame is extinguished. Always ^feel the burnt end before throwing^ your match away. Always make sure your match is dead but -- a good habit. 8. Drown Your Campfire! Before you build a campfire, scrape away all inflammable material from a spot six feet iA diameter. Dig a hole in the middle and build your fire there. Keep it small. Never build a campfire against trees, logs, or near brush. Befbre leaving your campfire, stir the coals while soaking them with water. Turn the sticks over, soak bt>th sides, and the earth around the-fire. 4. Use Care In Burning1! First of all, find out if your State law require a permit for burning hrush or debris. If so, get one from your local fire warden or ranger. Have plenty of help, tools, and water handy. IAKDEST BUSIEST CHEAPEST WORKERS IN TOWN PLAINDEALER WANT ADS Read The Want Ada! farmers' Outlook "GOOD"FARMS NOW SELLING AT $45Q-|5Q0 AN ACRE Illimsfls farm land H the moft desired in all America. This fact, and many other interesting and important ones, is shown in a recent USDA report. Here are some of the highlights from the All average acre values listed include the value of both land and buildings. Value Changes. Illinois land values declined about 1 per cent f':om last November to March and about 5 per cent from March 1953 to March 1954. The •" recent prices for Illinois lancl are 7 per cent off the peafc roached in November 1952, but 165 per cent higher than in 1940. Prices of good farms have held up better than prices for less n; cductive • land. In the best official report that was based ] areas of the corn belt, good on a survey made in March: In central Illinois current market values for farms classed as "good" are around $450 to $500 an acre. These prices compare with values of $275 to $325 for "good" farms in northern Indiana and Iowa. Acre Value - Comparisons. The average value of Illinois farm land in March was $214 an acre. Iowa land values rated second at $184 an acre. Ohio and Indiana followed at $174 and -172 an acre, respectively. Three small eastern states reported higher farm real estate values than Illinois, but in those states values are set largely by residential and other non-farm uses. Average acre values reported for these three states were: New Jersey, $343; Connecticut, $271; and Rhode Island, $251. Average aero values of farm land in other states around Illinois were: Michigan, $118; Wisconsin, $99; Minnesota, $98; Missouri, $72; Kansas, $77; Nebraska, $70; and Kentucky, $91. fauns bring almost as much as they did a . year ago. In these areas farmers and investors have plenty of cash and credit to take the farms at near-r-ecord prices.. The maiket is much weaker in the fringe areas of the corn belt, in -drouth areq.s, and. m parts of the southeast. . .JIM}.' mountain areas. • ' Compared with one year befo. c, the March survey found prices of farm land off 3 per c n't. in Iowa, 4 per cent in Ohio a^.d Michigan, 5 per cent cin Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and j.fi-yiesota, and 8 per cent in Missouri. For the country as a whole, farm land values declined 6 per cent. As might be expected, declines were greater in the beif cattle states than in hog and dairy states. _ Sales" Volume. . Relatively few fa: mis are being offered for sale. In the east north-central states (Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio), only 28 out of each 1,000 farms were sold in viti'-.iary transfers in the year ending with March. This number is only half as many as were fold at the peak of sales activity in 1945-46. LEGAL Transfers to qettle estates amounted to 13 farms per 1,000. Forced sales (fo:eclosures and transfers to avoid -foreclosures) involved only one farm in 1,000. NOTICE IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF HARRY A.
