Famed Meets The F@m®MS (Continued from page 1) The4 Northern Pump herd, now located in McHenry area, had its beginning on the banks of the Mississippi river, just north of the city limits of Minneapolis, Minn. Hie early years brought their problems, but steady progress began to take form until in January, 1965, the farms became the first Hereford exhibitor east of the Mississippi riVer to win the carlot bull grand championship of the National Western Stock show at Denver, one oi the most coveted awards in the Hereford^leld. Mr. Scott came to Northern Pump when the herd was started in 1951 and moved to this area in 1954 when the cattle were brought to the Hickory Creek farms from Colorado and the Mill Iron ranches of Childress, Texas. He had received his degree in animal husbandry at the University of Wisconsin and was then employed as a county extension worker by that university. Scott is known for operating by discussing problems before giving orders. This pooling of information, through which a decision is reached, is considered one of the strong points of the organization. Spence Byron is herdsman in charge of fitting and exhibiting the show cattle. These facilities are also used to prepare animals for sale as well as show. Byron and three helpers must keep 100 to 150 head of cattle ready for buyers to see and appraise. This is a frequent occurrence on the farms, with an average of two to four cattlemen a week visiting the farms in search of herd bulls and breeding stock. Of this total group, ten to twelve head are selected to be exhibited at each show. The purpose of the show is not only to win prizes but to give perspective customers an opportunity to compare the cattle in general and bring them to the farm to select breeding stock. Ken Eppers is in pharge of the north end of the farm. One of his most important jobs is to fit and develop the carlot bulls and range bulls. His chief assistant with the car load bulls is Larry Gaylord. Eppers is also responsible for the farming j^n/i cow herd on the portion iof the farm north of Ringwood known as the Lost Valley unit. All the calves with the exception of those at the show barn are taken to the Lost Valley unit to be sorted and weighed at the time they are weaned. They are fed there until such time as they are sold or added to the herd. George Madden is respon? sible for the farming and cow herd on the farm south of Ringwood. Art Christopher handles the artificial breeding program and works fith Eppers and Madden and their crews. He also assists in doctoring sick ani- , dials and carrying out the vaccination program. Christopher, Eppers and Byron are all graduates 'of the University of Wisconsin farm short course. The local farms consist of over 3,000 acres of land running about 900 Hereford brood cows. This cattle population means 500 head of registered animals to sell annually after the culls and replacements are taken out. During the winter the cows are kept in groups, of 20 to 100 depending i$on the facilities. In summer pasture season they are split into small units which may run as low as 5 or as high as 100 or more depending on the size of the fields and other factors involved. The average number of cows per unit is 40 to 50. In 1967 the Northern Pump herd ranked fourth in the country in number of purebred Hereford calves raised. Herefords from the farm have been sold to thirty - seven states, Canada and Mexico. The total value of the farm and cattle on today's market would be close to $5 million. Good cattle and capable, loyal employees numbering fifteen to twenty who work with the key men make possible the accomplishments of Northern Pump Herefords. Long hours and hard work are also important words in the success of the farms. Anyone who has followed the history of Northern Pump can well understand the satisfaction and pride shared today by Mr. Hawley, Mr. Scott and the others who have contributed in their own way to make an enviable record out of this major undertaking. ^ Scr©@!m D Gitamorizedk A screen door may not be the home's njost glamorous feature, but there's no need to put up with poor appearance during the eight months or so that you need bug-proofing. If the screen door is wood framed, it's easy to jazz it up with a wooden grille nailed to the outside of the door, across the screened section. Start by nailing Douglas fir lxls vertically over the screened inset, spacing them two inches apart. Then cut two-inch-long pieties" 6U lxl-irich firVand fit them crosswise between the vertical pieces. Vary the spacing and placement of cross pieces to make a pleasing pattern. Building the screen door grille is a matter of just an hour or so, and finishing won't take much longer, whether it's painted or stained. But spending a bit of time drawing up a pattern on graph paper speeds the building and assures that you'll have what you want when finished- 4-H AND FAIR GROUPS AGREE TO TERMINATE LEASE (Continued from page 1) to move from the fairgrounds is set at $220,000 is because many permanent buildings must be replaced. A new grandstand must also be built. The half- ** mile track must be rebuilt. Sfewer, water, lights and other utilities must be taken to the - new property. "When 4-H Town entered into the lease for 99 years in behalf of 4-H boys and girls, it was understood this would be a permanent arrangement -- no suggestions were offered that the land on Woodstock's east' side might be used for another purpose," Noe said. "Permanent buildings were erected. Utilities were installed for long time use. Much of the work and improvements over the years were accomplished by volunteer help and at a time when it was available. "Today, volunteer help is less available, and most of the building and re-location would require a contractor. As most people know, labor costs are high. Neither organization has funds to build -- through the years what cash was available went to improve facilities and make the fair a better showcase for the projects of county boys and girls," Noe continued. The $220,000 damage figure* actually represents an amount less than the total given Dean late last fall. C^ie reason for the lower amount now is because the Fair association has since purchased a tract of land adjacent to present Fair association property. MAJOR POINTS In the agreement, 4-H Town Inc., and the Fair association agree to five major points: 1. They will terminate the 99-year lease on a total of 14.98 acres. 2. They will convey title to a parcel of land now owned by the Fair association to the McHenry County Public building commission. It totals two acres and is where the horse barn is located now. 3. They will move all structures and buildings from the land involved within 60 days after the close of the 1968 county fair. 4. Any buildings or structures not moved after 60 days may be retained, removed or demolished by the Building commission. 5. Massey hall, one of the major buildings near the south side of the property, will be available \to the Fair associate and 4-VH Town for the Mr each year.| The I agreemer^ goes into force only if several factors evolve,\ and this includes recommendation of the Public visors, and (1) approval by three-fourths of the members of the Woodstock city council, or (2) if not approved by th« City Council then approval by a majority of voters at a county- wide referendum in Novtni" ber, 1968. The original lease providlni a home for 4-H memborf tC have a place for thoir annul) 4-H show was drawn up In 1949," and the McHenry County Fair was revived in 1949, built around the 4-H projects. Today, more than 1,200 boyi and girls from throughout McHenry county show projects In both agriculture and home economics. Growing trend is the increasing number of city boys and girls taking part, reflecting the shift of the population from rural to urban. The University of Illinois Extension service is gearing its project orientation to include the city youth in 4-H club work.
