STATE FARM I N S U R A N C E C O M P A N I E s j ttomp Oflicw: Bloominflton, IHinofe VTAtl MM Farmers are now planning their storage and sales programs for the harvest period. Should they make an extra effort to put all of their corn away, or should they store the amount that their bins will conveniently hold and sell the rest? Many producers, particularly those who are not in compliance with the feed-grain program, will produce more corn than they have room for. The yield indicated on Aug. 1 for Illinois was 79 bushels, and production was indicated at 668 million bushels, up from 638 million in 1961. Bids for new-crop delivery were about 93 cents in early August. This 27-cent discount from the loan is a good reason to hold corn. But the old-crop price was 98 cents, which casts doubt on a significant price increase during the season ahead. In early August, 1961, thie price was $1.03. A record 658 million bushels of corn from the 1961 crop moved into the loan program. It appears that the carry-over will be reduced about 350 million bushels. A combination of these two things usually results in a price rise to about the loan. But this year the price has fallen more than 20 cents short. The strength factors have been more than offset by huge sales by CCC. During the period from Oct. 1, 1961, through Aug. 3. 1962, CCC sold 867 million bushels. Of this amount 96 million were sold under special export programs, 603 million to recover cost of the feed-grain program, and 168 million that were "out of condition." Had the 168 million "out-of-condition" corn been applied against the feed-grain certificates, as was permissible, the price would have closely approached the loan. The situation during the year ahead will be similar. The carry-over will probably be reduced by a substantial amount. In view of the low- price this summer, the use of the loan will probably be larger (only 54 percent of the eligible corn was placed under loan and purchase agreement). CCC will again sell a large amount. They will start the year with about 350 million bushels less with which to hammer prices down. If loan entries are 75 percent of the eligible corn, CCC will not have enough. But unless loan entries are this high, they will be able to do what they want to with the price. Will they again sell enough to hold the price down? This is not an appropriate question for an economist to try to answer. L. H.

THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Majority of County Attorneys Express Support Of Blue Ballot Costs of justice in Illinois would be less--not more--under the Judicial Amendment which citizens will vote on at the Tuesday, Nov. 6, general electioi. An overwhelming majority of attorneys in McHeriry county, who have studied the Blue Ballot proposal, support the Judicial Amendment as the best way to modernize the Illinois court system. Authority for the statement concerning costs is a man who will lose financially if the Amendment is adopted, Attorney Robert Leali, of Woodstock, who is master in chancery in McHenry county. If adopted, the Amendment will get rid of the master in chancery job. That work will be handled by the associate circuit judges in the districts. But Leali, who is a member of the McHenry County Committee for Modern Courts, feels the over-all good that will come from the streamlining and integration of . our court system is vital to proper administration of justice in Illinois. 'The basic structure of court costs will remain," said Leali. "That is, persons involved in litigation will be responsible for specific, assessable costs, not taxpayers." "One added cost under the Amendment would be for the twenty-four Appellate judges established under the proposal. This cost will approximate $600,000. However, we spend $4 million for judicial elections in June and this would be i e l i m i n a t e d w i t h t h e s h i f t o f ! judicial elections to November. "Consolidation of Clerks' offices, more efficient use of judicial manpower and elimination of costs such as that required in master of chancery cases more than offset the added costs of the Appellate court setup," said Leali. Savings for individuals involved in court cases will be substantial, Leali continued, and the net effect will be on an over-all reduction in total costs. Under the proposal, all court income goes to the state, which in turn must handle payment of salaries of the judges throughout the state. Duplicate fees and costs necessitated by appeals from judgements in justice courts would be eliminated. These frequent, voluminous appeals | not only clog the dockets of I our Circuit and County courts, | but occasion additional, need- j less expense to the litigants' and the tax-paying public. I At a McHenry County Bar association meeting, attorneys I overwhelmingly voted .in favor ! Of the Blue Ballot, Leali said. | Fewer than a half dozen voted against it, and today a substantial majority of county lawyers are actively working for its passage. Background of the Judicial Amendment is simple: Selected experts in the trial field, composed of represental ives of both parties, pooled years of experience in actual court work to draw up the Amendment. The legislature by a twothirds vote, approved submitting it to the public for voter approval November 6. To be adopted, it must receive a majority of all the voters at the election or two-thirds of those voting on the question. Leali cited these major defects in our court system today: (1) We have a complicated s t e m of separate courts, poorty adapted to $re«* ent needs; (2) Inefficient use of judicial personnel; and (3) Needless delay and expense in obtaining justice. Present court system is substantially the same as that created in 1848, when Illinois' population was 800,000, compared to 10 million today. Under the proposal, at least one branch of the Circuit Court would be continuously in isession in each county to handle all types of cases. It would also make possible the creation of specialized branches, such as family court, with jurisdiction to handle a|l ^problems affecting ttte~familjr.
