X r" Robert Nichols, left, Conservation Farmer of the Year, accepts special award from the McHenry County Livestock Feeders association presented by Charles Budreck, Jr. (DON PEASLEY PHOTO) Conservation Leaders Recognized At Dinner l^r. and Mrs. Robert Nichols, Hebron, and Donald Barrett, Harvard, were honored guests as the McHenry County Soil and Water Conservation district held its twenty-sixth annual meeting last weekend. In an important innovation that likely' will be adopted state-wide, 'balloting for directors was conducted throughout much of the day. The previous policy had been for balloting only at the annual meeting for a period before and during the dinner. Eligible voters could go to a poll at the McHenry county courthouse, or another later in the evening at the Woodstock VFW where the annual dinner was held. Kenneth Fiske, Woodstock, and Robert A. Fleck, McHenry, were reelected as directors. The Nichols family was honored as the Conservation Family of the Year. Barrett, a teacher in McHenry county for twenty-one years, was recognized as the Conservation Teacher of the Year. Bob and Shirley Nichols have three children; James, 14, Cindy, 12, and Barry, 10. They operate 1,000 acres northwest of Hebron where Bob has a 140- cow dairy herd and many young dairy animals. Conservation-minded for many years, he has done ex tensive tiling on the farm and uses minimum tillage prac tices. He is building a pond and is erosion-conscious, seeding down land to minimize erosion damage. He recently purchased an adjacent 460-acre farm to create a private recreation center. Barrett is the first com munity college teacher to earn this Teacher of the Year award in Illinois. Past honors of this type have gone to elementary or high school teachers. The honor recognizes his long time conservation orientation. He carries this philosophy into his community activities, serving on the Harvard Planning commission, McHenry County Fair board, secretary of th Harvard school district board, and member of the church council and Sunday School teacher at Trinity Lutheran. Barrett gives conservation talks before school groups, conducts workshops and also works with such youth groups as 4-H and FFA. He has helped the five vocational agriculture departments in county high schools establish their con servation award program. Barrett is an associated director of the McHenry Soil and Water Conservation district. He believes planning for the best use of resources is a continuing program and he stresses those influences on the environment ~ not just the economic implications but the social and long-range in fluences of varied conservation practices. One of his proud achievements is motivating the district to develop teaching materials on conservation for schools. Barrett and Fiske are working on this now., Barrett has a small farm and he carries out conservation practices on it. Within the past year he's constructed a pond for recreation, conservation and as an attraction for wildlife. Barrett taught at Huntley high school from 1951 to 1964, at Harvard high school for four years, and then to McHenry County college, where he established the agricultural program. Lyle Paulsen, Woodstock farmer who was a national winner in conservation farming a year ago, and Russell Kelahan, president of the district, discussed their trip to Florida as part of the award for P a u l s e n ' s n a t i o n a l achievement. Percys Principals Senator Charles H. Percy (R- 111.) is introducing legislation to create a comprehensive nutritional program to serve all of the nation's needv children. The bill would abolish twenty-three categorical programs "each with its own regulations, funding and matching formulae," and replace them with a "sim plified bloc grant" to the states for all child nutrition programs. Percy pointed out that the USDA now spends about 1.4 billion annually, on child nutrition programs. "But, he said "bureaucratic barriers ... now prevent state educational agencies from efficiently directing^ money to where the need and demand are greatest, particularly where the poor are concerned." "This simplification alone would redirect millions of dollars now spent on overhead to meals for the malnourished," he said. Percy, ranking Republican on the Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs, said that under his bill, states would receive a single bloc grant to support all child feeding programs, in or out of school, throughout the entire year. "The Comprehensive Child Nutrition Act of 1972 would strengthen the states' ability to provide nutritious meals to all eligible children, at all times, in places and by all means." lid. In adcfilttfrMp the new bloc grant concept7\the Percy proposal would increase the total amount of spending for the 23 programs by $500 million, to $1.9 billion. It would eliminate state matching grant requirements, as well as provide for: Reimbursement for all costs related to food preparation and delivery except construction of food service facilities; Reimbursement for break fasts, lunches, or snacks if they meet nutritional standards; Free meals to children at or below the poverty level; Authority for states to by pass local authorities if they refuse tp establish a child nutrition program; State accountability by Lakeland Park DOROTHY LENSE 385-6517 SCHROEDER METALCRAFT GIFT SHOP * Fireplace Screens •Glass, Brass and Pewter •Tools and Adirons •Candle Sconces and Holders •Grates and Gas Logs •Clocks and Wall Plaques -GIFTS FOR ALL OCCASIONS- 815-385-0950 1713 South Route 31, McHenry, Illinois Open Daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sundfty 12 noon to 5:30 p.m. uuxii.r\r>/ru-iru-irii-|i i-i- --- -- - - ̂ * • • - • • • • mmmmm m m mmmmm Farm News Farmers feeding moldy corn to their livestock are advised to take special precautions to avoid health problems with their animals. This advice came from Dr. Gary Pearl, manager of Feed Research and Development for FS Services, Inc. Pearl serves as the full time veterinarian on the staff of the regional cooperative and a consultant to the feed specialists from the 135 local FS member companies that own FS Services, Inc. Pearl explained that the moldy grain problems were brought on by the excessive wet weather conditions this fall and winter. He offered four signs for farmers to watch for in their livestock: Unpalatability - failure of animals to consume affected corn. Reproductive - abortion and poor conception rates. Hemorrhage - following birth or surgery. Nervous Signs - in coordination and vomiting. "But," he warned, "the molds you can see in grains are not reliable measures of the toxins it may contain or of the ways in which the toxins affect the animals." In answer to some of the major problems, Pearl suggested farmers should: Avoid feeding moldy feeds or grain to young animals, breeding or gestating animals. Prior to feeding grains known to be moldy, feed it to a test group of animals first. Avoid using corn cobs as sources of litter as this in creases the amount of mold that the animals are in contact with. Increase the supplemental vitamins in the complete feed may be indicated when using suspect grains. means of federal review of state plans and reports. The new unified program would be administered by the Department of ' Healthi, Education and Welfare. The twenty-three programs to be replaced are now administered by the Department of Agriculture. However, Percy said,, ten other sources of federal funds for child nutrition programs would remain where they are now in the Office of Economic Opportunity, Department of Housing and Urban Develop ment, or HEW. Percy previously introduced the Comprehensive Child Nutrition Bill in August of 1972 but no action was taken in the 92nd Congress. Daurios Attend Inauguration Of Governor Attending the inauguration of the Governor certainly comes under the heading of a "once in a lifetime" event for most people. And, Mary and Jim Daurio and son, Mick, and Mick's friend, Nancy White, consider their invitation to the inauguration of Gov. Dan Walker in that light. Their attending the inauguration was , the result of their work toward the election of Governor Walker. They attended the inaugural ceremony and also the ball. They had their picture taken in front of the Governor's office in Springfield. It was a hectic and happy time for the Daurio family. And, one that they won't forget for quite some time.

MARGARET O'NEIL Clerk of the Court (Pub. Jan. 12, 19& 26,1973) The Cranes Tentative word from gov ernment wildlife officials is t h a t t e n o f o u r w h o o p i n g cranes are missing. Spotters in Arkansas and Texas have counted only forty-six of the adult birds, thus ten have not returned from Canada for the winter. There is hope additional cranes will yet arrive, though it's already late for these birds, an endangered spe cies. They have, of course, been carefully nurtured in recent years and slowly built up from a low of about thirty birds; thus the whole nation waits for its whooping cranes each winter and there's some thing nice about it all.
