According to Mr. Getty, the 1972 feed grain program is designed to achieve a feed grain set-aside of at least 38 million acres, compared with 18.2 million acres this year. With new options presented to farmers for 1972, the Secretary of Agriculture must have set-aside commitments by Feb. 25 to enable him to determine whether to accept farmer offers of optional set- aside if sign-up is short of the desired 38 millions acres. To do this, he said, it is im­ perative that we have an early sign-up. Farmers have from now until Jan. 17 to make their plans and to sign up within the alloted period. Mr. Getty indicated it is necessary to set aside at least 38 million acres this coming year tp help offset the record corn production of 1971. Also, he saio; the basic goals of the 1972 feed grain program are to give farmers more opportunity for Mrs. Joe Schwetz. Michelle Druml celebrates her special day on Dec. 1 with cake and trimmings. ANDTHEN Get-well wishes to Jim Roach who is back in the hospital. This is it - the end. Thanks to everyone through all these years. I had a ball - a few tears, too - but that's the way the "ball" bounces. Good luck to my rescuer, Dorothy Lense who will do a fine job of reporting for you. Her phone number is 385-6517. decision making on their farms, and to protibt and improve their incomes. "The 1972 feed grain program will reduce carryover stocks, help keep our agricultural production in line with anticipated needs, and will encourage farmers to put greater reliance on the marketplace as the principal source of farm income," he said. Three separate options to set aside feed grain acreage are key features of the 1972 feed grain program, according to Mr. Getty, chairman, of the McHenry County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASCS) committee. The new program, an­ nounced Oct. 18 by Secretary Clifford M. Hardin, was written to encourage farmers to set aside at least 38 million feed grain acres in 1972, compared with 18.2 million in 1972. It raises the feed grain set-aside from 20 to 25 percent of the feed grain base. Once a farmer decides to participate in the 1972 program, he must sign up at the county ASCS office between January 17 and February 25. There will be no extended sign-up period in 1972. .OPTION I To meet minimum qualifying requirements for loans and payments a farmer must agree to maintain his conserving base and to set-aside 25 percent of his feed grain base (corn and barley). The feed grain payment rate for 1972 for the qualifying set- aside is set at 80 cents per bushel for corn and 64 cents per bushel for barley. Mr. Getty explained these rates are paid on the established farm yield times the qualifying set-aside acres (25 percent of the farm base). Once the minimum qualifying As Thanksgiving holidays approach, activity at McHenry high school is booming and association members are busy in arranging educational ex­ periences for the students. Several classes from East campus have recently gone on field trips. In October, the World Cultures classes taught by Kay Huck went to the Art Institute in Chicago. Vicky Olson took her Com­ munications Skills classes to the Art Institute Nov. 18. Both excursions provided many educational opportunities for the students involved. Other students from East campus who are enrolled in Fred Kusch's Social Studies classes went on a field trip to Milwaukee in late October. All these trips provide McHenry high school students with an opportunity to explore new intellectual horizons. Not only are classes going to points of educational interest, but also some of the school sponsored clubs have offered opportunities for club members to attend events in the area surrounding McHenry. The Drama club of West Campus traveled to DeKalb Oct. 31 to view a college production of T e n n e s s e e W i l l i a m ' s "Streetcar Named Desire". Members of the East campus Drama club, under the direction of Shirley Erdei and Mary Leipzig, traveled to a Loyola university Drama Festival Nov. 20 to watch one act plays and cuttings from longer plays. Students, teachers and other members of the community do not have to travel, but can find worthwhile projects within the high school. Ed Beling and Cliff Freeman sponsor a movie on the third Monday of every month at West campus. This movie is free of admission, and the entire community is welcome to attend. Previous offerings have been Alfred Hitchcock's "39 Steps" and Aku-Aku". The December movie will be "Kon- Tiki". Also, Ron Zieglowsky directed the Drama club's production of Woody Allen's "Don't Drink The Water". This excellent production, which took place Nov. 12-13-14 at West campus, can best be shown by quoting Tom Broman, one of the main leads, who said, "I've worked on every play for several years, and this is the best play we've ever put on." Then with a twinkle in his eye, and promise for the next production, added a knowing "yet.". RECORDER AT WORK - Pictured is Harry C. Herendeen, McHenry County Recorder of Deeds, sitting in front of a new Itek reader, printer and dryer. This machine makes hard copies from microfilm and even though it is a wet process developer, the dryer attachment makes the print immediately available to the customer. All permanent records of the Recorder's office are on microfilm. There are security rolls of film in their vault and a security copy in the Archives in Springfield. In the event the courthouse burned to the ground and all of these records were destroyed, the Recorder's office could immediately start assembling a new set of records from the security rolls in Springfield. The growth of McHenry county in recent years is shown by a few facts compiled by this office. The sale of State Revenue Tax Stamps, through this office indicates total taxable real estate sales in the county for this fiscal year ending Nov. 30, will reach nearly one hundred million dollars. In 1964 when Herendeen was elected to his first term as Recorder, the previous fiscal years gross income was a little over forty thousand dollars. By the end of this fiscal year the gross income of the Recorder's office will exceed two hundred thousand dollars. He takes pride in the fact he has only added two employees to his staff since 1964 even though the income and work load has increased five times. At a time when McHenry county is in need of additional funds, the Recorder's office is earning a substantial profit for the McHenry county general fund. requirements are met the farmer is eligible for options 2 and 3. OPTION II In addition to the qualifying set-aside of 25 percent, a far­ mer may set aside additional acreage up to 10 percent of his corn base and up to 20 percent additional of his barley base. Mr. Getty said the per acre payment rate for this ad­ ditional set-aside of corn will be 52 cents per bushel and 42 cents per bushel for barley multiplied by the established yield for each crop. OPTION 3 If a farmer qualifies to participate by setting aside 25 percent of his base, and also volunteers to set aside ad­ ditional acreage under option No. 2, he may then offer another 5 to 10 percent of his corn base. The Secretary of Agriculture will announce by mid-March his acceptance of one or both of the 5 and 10 percent offers. In this event, the additional payment rate and the method of computation are the same for corn as under option 2.
