It's blue, and boy, can she ride it! Noticed that a dog pack is responsible for the accident on Darrell Road recently. It might do well at this point to remind all the residents that dogs are not permitted to run loose in the village.

Plants adapted to local conditions are least expensive in the long run, he adds. And do not plant any variety of strawberries in soil that has been in tomatoes, Irish potatoes, eggplants or peppers within the past three years. All of these crops f are susceptible to Verticillium wilt, a serious strawberry disease. " So far, growing resistant varieties is the only way to control these diseases, Burnett points out. Limited research shows that Surecrop and Vermilion are among the most resistant to Verticillium wilt. Sparkle is one of the most susceptible to this wilt. Where neither of these diseases is a] problem, Pocahontas and T e n n e s s e e Beauty produce well in home gardens over the entire state. For the home gardner whp is interested in high-quality fresh strawberries, I rec o m m e n d Fairfax, Fairpeake, Midland, Dorsett or Redglow. These varieties are outstanding in flavor, texture, and aroma. They are for the discriminating home gardner who does not judge on size, color and yield alone, but values quality over quantity. Economist Siprifrl Says: Prices of farmland resumed their upward trend in 1961. They went up an average of 2 percent in Illinois and 4 percent for the nation as a whole, Speediest Way To Get Cab Service No matter where you are, our Radio Dispatched Cab is always ready to perve you. Your call brings it over fast. f:' according to a recent report by the USDA. The average U. S. price of farmland reached a new record high at the end of 1961. In Illinois the average was still about percent lewer than the record peak two years before, although in some areas prices hit record highs. Further increases are likely in 1962 unless bad weather causes poor crop yields. Prices!' of farmland have been going up almost continuously since 1933-- twenty-nine years. Prices of land in Illinois have increased 400 percent That is, they are five times as high as they were at the low point in 1933. Half of this v increase has come since 1950. The basic cause of the rise in prices of farmland is inflation. The farmer's dollar has lost 65 percent of its value in the past fifty years, and 56 percent since 1940. Fear, or expectation, of further inflation is a strong factor supporting the land market.' •x Production controls are also an important factor in the market. litany farmers want to buy m6re land in order to get ct Kigger acreage allotment. Others want to sell their farms because t h e i rfallotments are PROTECT RACING FANS Ne\y and improved security measures designed to protect fans of horse racing will be in effect, for the 1962 racing season which began April 14, William S. Miller, chairman of the Illinois Racing Board, announced. Miller seM a new method of foolproof horse identification has been developed by the Pinkerton National Detective agency*and Dr. James j\ Manning, chief of the New York police Department Crime Laboratory, with the cooperation of The Jockey club. The identification system is comparable to human identification by the fingerprint method. The horny growths which appear inside of each horse's legs,* known as "chestnuts," are measured and classified through use of precision photographic devices and instruments. Examin a t i o n s of over 50,000 thoroughbreds revealed that no two "chestnuts" were identical. FIRE WARNING William J. Cowhey, state fire marshal, has issued a warning to all citizens to be extremelV careful when setting brush and trash fjres. "High winds make unattended •fires extremely hazardous, particularly when the fire is near buildings," said Cowfiey. DR. HENRY FREUND OPTOMETRIST . At 1224 N.
