\ Thursday, August 20, 1959 THE McHENRY PLAtNDEALER McCullom Lake SPORTSMAN CLUB STARTS PROJECT TO .CLEAN LAKE Eve Levesque The tremendous task of cleaning all the carp and stunted fish from the lake is being undertaken today, and will continue through Sunday. All available man power and all the boats which can be "begged, borrowed, or stolen" will be needed. The lake will be sprayed with Rotenone (non- poisonous!) which will s£n the fish and cause them to surface. As they come to the top of the wfrter they.must be scooped up. It is a big job, but with plenty of willing hands, it will go much faster. The project is being carried on under the auspices of the Illinois Conservation Department. After the lake has been thoroughly cleaned out, it will re-stocked with game fish, am the sound of things, McCullom Lake may once again take its rightful place as a fisherman's paradise!

Breath-Taking All White Wedding St. Benedict's church in Chicago was the scene of the lovely all-white wedding uniting Miss Joanne K. Lovitz and Gerald M. Wrout. The nuptial mass was held at 11 a.m. The groom's sister, Miss Jackie Wrout, served as mdid of honor and the groom's roommate from college was the best man. There were , four bridesmaids and one junior bridesmaid, our own Linda Passalaqua, cousin of the bride. The bride was beautifully gowned in white chantilly lace and wore a finger tip veil held in place with a circle crown covered with tear drop pearls. She carried a heart shaped bouquet of tiny white orchids. Her attendants, also in white, carried deep red roses. Linda wore a white silk organza ballet length gown with a hoop skirt and carried pink baby rosebuds. All the girls had crown head pieces with no veils. A wedding luncheon *for the family, complete with champagne was held at the bride's home, with the reception at 8 p.m. at Johnny Weigelt's.

Surprise Thinking she was going to a clothing demonstration last Wednesday, June Voight was caught completely off guard by shouts of surprise at thtf Lasnek residence. The occasion was a shower in her honor for the blessed event which can be none too soon for her. She was very pleased with all the love*- ly ^riew things she received from all her friends and neighbors of Sunnyside Estates. The sixth child in the Voight family will be one of the best dressed babies around. Mishap A slight misstep on a ladder resulted in a bad fall for Hank Zeiger. Even though he didn't fall far, he injured his leg and back and had to remain prone for several days followed by a week of hobbling around on a cane. Nasty Bug Odd as it may seem, in such ideal weather as we have had during August, there seems to be a virus of some sort around. Numerous families have been stricken, among them the Hanahan children, Ad Zeiger and boys, Jerry and Dave, and their grandmother, Mrs. Hertha Zeiger. Let's hope it passes over the rest of our homes and those who have had it are well over it, whatever "it" is. Reminder This Saturday night we are invited to attend the "roundup" in Sunnyside. This is their monthly social event and this month they have invited residents of Sunnyside Estates. If you are looking for an evening of fun, why not join our neighbors across the blacktop?

FROZEN FRESH the day they're made I NOW AT BOLGER'S McHENRY STORE PHONE 40 We estimate the 1959 beef calf crop at about 22.9 million head. This number is 8 percent more than the estimate of beef calves dropped last year. It is also a new record high, though only 3 percent more than the number dropped in 1955, the previous high year. In comparison with population, the beef calf crop for this year is still about 7 percent short of the 1955 record. Another point is that the nation's dairy herd continues ,'to shrink and less beef is therefore being obtained by slaughter of dairy cows. The number of cows Kept for milk shrank from 23.5 million at the beginning of 1955 to 21.6 million this year. The decrease for the five years was 8. percent. The total 1959 calf crop is officially estimated at 41,328,- 000 head, which is only 2. percent more than the 1958 crop and 3 percent short of the previous record of five years ago. Official reports do not separate beef and dairy calves, but we have calculated the number of calves dropped by cows hot kept for milk. We call these beef calves in this report. Illinois. The total 1959 calf crop in Illinois is officially estimated at 1,244,000 head. This number is 3 percent less than in 1958 and 10 percent less than five years .ago. In Illinois dairy cows numbers are being reduced faster than beef cows are being increased. At the beginning of this year, Illinois had 783,000 milk cows two years and older, and 615,000 other cows. Plain states. The 1958 calf crop (total) in Texas is estimated at 4,121,000 head. This is 4 percent more than last year, but still short of the 4,242,000 head produced in 1954. Oklahoma shows 1,529,- 000 calves, 8 percent more than last year but still a little short of the big calf crops of four to six years ago. Kansas reported 1,468,000 calves, up 7 percent from 1958, though 20 percent short of 1954. Nebraska, with 1,732,000, has 4 percent more than last year but 6 percent less than five years ago. The Dakotas report 2,352,- 000, 2 percent more than in 1958 but 2 percent below the record set four years ago. Western states. For the eleven western states (west of those mentioned abovei), the 1959 calf crop is estimated at 7,179,000 head. This is 3 percent more than in 1958 and is practically equal to the record crop produced by these states in 1955. Yearlings. At the beginning of this year, it was estimated that farmers had 19,755,000 head of calves under one year old and not being kept for milk. These are now yearlings. This number was 7 percent more than the year before but 4 percent above the previous record set three years before. Compared with population, the number of calves was about 1 percent less this year than in 1956. Calf slaughter low. While the 1959 calf crop approaches a record, slaughter of calves so far this year has been very light. Commercial slaughter during the five months January- May totaled only 3,158,000 head. This was 22 percent less than last year and 35 percent less than two years before. L. H. Simerl Department of Agricultural Economics It won't kill you to be careful.
