w-1 " - • I . . A, > SEDAN DE VILLE: Cadillac's Sedan de Ville, a four-door hardtop presented for the first time for 1956, preserves the graceful Florentine window styling of two-door hardtops vet provides the roominess and four-door convenience of sedan models. Rear seat head and leg room in the Sedan de Ville is greater than in two-door hardtop models. The car features a new power train consisting of a new 285 horsepower engine and a "controlled coupling" Hydra-Matic transmission which is completely new in principle and mechanical parts. VIEWS ON DAIRY . OUTLOOK GIVEN BY COUNTY FARMERS Long faces which dairy farmers were wearing eighteen months ago in McHenry county are being replaced by more confident grins, a sample survey of dairymen by Farm Adviser Bill Tammeus shows. "Recent developments in the agricultural picture seem to show dairying is looking up." said Tammeus, "so , I contacted a helf-dozen farmers to get their views. I checked with long-time dairymen, newcomers to the business, with young fawners getting started and with small producers. "Generally speaking, they are optimistic. They are pleased that the storage of dairy products has been reduced two-thirds since the first of September a year ago. Most farmers are aware that the policy of the USDA is that the only way for the farmer to have a real income is to have a market for his product." Russell Kelahan who owns 160 acres southwest of Woodstock, has a good-sized dairy herd and also has a hog and poultry operation. He told Tammeus he is placing his chips on his cows, but he has one concern. "He is afraid the low .price of corn and hogs might cause a swing back to dairy production by those farmers who, a few years ago got out of the business and turned to another kind of farming," Tammeus explained. "If that happens, then production of milk would again exceed consumption." Elwood Howell, who farms 292 acres in partnership with his brother, Maynard, near McHenry, milks 35 cows and feels that the market is in strong shape. The ^. amount of milk being sold at the class three and four price levels is down drastically, Howell pointed out. He doesn't share Kelahan's fear that farpiers who used to operate dairy farms will edge back into it because of the slump in hog and beef prices. Even a farmer who used to operate a herd and had some of the equipment would have to spend $3,000 to $5,000 for modern equipment such as bulk coolers and a milk house in order to compete," Howell told Tammeus. "The stringent rules of the health department applied to a new producer would further discourage him." Howell, president of the Chicago Milk producers council and an officer in the Woodstock Progressive Milk Producers and a board member of the state American Dairy association, gives _ a lot of credit for the increased consumption of milk to the national ADA advertising. Tammeus said Henry Marlowe, Huntley feed dealer, observed that the low price of second-rate cows at sales indicates the emphasis on higher production. These cows bring only slaughter prices. Clint Swqnson, who owns 80-acre dairy farm and milks 24 coys near Algonquin, sees a brighter picture for the dairymen. He emphasized that surpluses appear,, under control and the entire industry should be kept on a supply and demand basis. Swanson said there might be some advantage to store basic commodities as corn, wheat and cotton but there is none when a perishable commodity like milk is stored. Farmers received $3.70 per hundred weight, blended price for •Grade A milk, for August. 1955. In August, 1954, the price was thirty-five cents less. John Emery, Woodstock farmer who operates a small farm, believes things are on the upgrade but it will take five years to get most farmers back where they' previously were. "Small farmers have to depend on othefl jobs to make it possible to survive," Emery said. Phil Wheelock, McHenry dairyman and a World War II veteran, says at present the farmer is a victim of modernization. "He has to have all tne modern machinery to get along, but it costs an ! more than he can afford at_ present prices. "The high price of modernization for efficient production and the low income per man-hour of labor hardly gives a young man an incentive to continue in the farming business," Wheelock said. Lyle Paulsen, large Woodstock farmer, voiced confidence the outlook for dairy farming is very good compared to other types of farming. lllllllllllil'NIItlllilllllllilliltllllJIilllllillllilt Shop at Home and SAVE!
