FORMAL WEAR RENTAL for ALL OCCASIONS iSusyt ....lie ttaibfciuM 1214 N. Green St., McHenry Weather Changes May Affect Food Production PAGE 7 - Pi AINDEALER-WEDNESDAY. APRIL 16, 1#75 Tax Relief Checks Weather trends may have a strong influence on farm businesses and food supplies during the next few years, says Larry Simerl, University of Illinois agricultural economist. Variations in weather bring profits or losses to farmers, and food or famine to man and beast. U.S. crop production was down in 1970 because of the weather-related southern corn leaf blight, observes Simerl. In 1974, excessive rain fall St planting time, drought during the growing season and early freezes lowered U.S. output. World production dipped in 1972 because of poor growing seasons in Russia, Asia, Africa and several other parts of the world. There are at least four ex­ planations of weather developments during recent years-and there are four projections about weather conditions and food production durmg the years ahead. One view is that our mid- western weather runs in twenty-year cycles, says Simerl. Those with this opinion point out that the 1930's and the 1950's were dry. So they expect the 1970's to also be droughty. The past growing season was very dry in the great plains. A second group of weather observers do not accept the twenty-year cycle theory, continues Simerl. They believe that world-wide weather conditions were unusually favorable for crop production during the 1950's and 1960 s. A return to more normal (less favorable) weather is expected dUring the 1970's. Other climatologists believe that the world's weather is undergoing a major change that will restrict crop production for several years. They point out that what ap­ pear to be relatively small changes in temperatures and rainfall can have a surprisingly large impact on food produc­ tion. While these three groups of weather analysts have dif­ ferent explanations for changing weather patterns, they all reach a similar con­ clusion: Climatic conditions are not likely to be as favorable for crop production in the next few years as they were during the 1960's. However, there is a fourth opinion, says Simerl. Weather changes have not had a major impact on agricultural output and prices in recent years. Those with this view see no reason to believe that changes in climatic conditions will be a major factor in determining food production during the remainder of the 1970's. It appears that "...the last word lies with the God of weathers..." Simerl concludes. Farmers Lower J 975 Plans For Major Crops Apparently concerned over the slow demand for products, farmers have slightly scaled back earlier planting intentions for some major crops, but the acreage levels could yield record crops this year unless weather disasters occur as in 1974, Jim Lucas, county executive director, said. Lucas noted that USDA surveys completed about March 1, showed that corn plantings are expected to be 3 percent less than last year and down 3 percent from the Jan. 1 estimate. However, the com­ bined feed grain acreage is expected to be down slightly, from 122.7 million in 1974 to 122.5 million in 1975. This in­ cludes sorghum prospects of nearly 18.9 million acres that would be 6 percent above that of last year; oats at nearly 18.2 million acres would be Vfe percent above last year, and barley at 10.2 million acres would be 12 percent above last year. "Cotton growers intend to drop 29 percent of their acreage, from 14 million planted in 1974 to 10 million this year", Lucas said. Lucas indicated that soybean growers showed that their plantings would be 6 percent higher than last year, but smaller than the 8 percent increase that growers in twenty-seven states reported Jan. 1. Soybean acreage is expected to be 56.6 million, The first tax relief checks to help the state's - senior and disabled citizens offset property tax bills from 1974 are in the mail, Illinois Revenue Director Robert H. Allphin has announced. And the average amount of those checks is $197, an in­ crease of 23 per cent over the average Circuit Breaker grant last year. Allphin said that, the Revenue department, which administers the "Senior Citizens and disabled Persons Property Tax Relief act" -- commonly called the Circuit Breaker law, had authorized payments to 27,200 senior and disabled persons who rented their Illinois residences in 1974. He also said the department was processing some 22,000 more applications, part of the 75,000 Circuit Breaker claim forms that had been mailed to renters in the first week of February. The Revenue department this year mailed an application to any renter who had applied previously for a grant. The response to the Circuit Breaker program will be up this year, Allphin predicted. He said that changes in the Circuit Breaker law, adopted by the legislature and signed into law by Gov. Dan Walker last September, "are apparently doing what they were intended to do." "The nearly 50,000 ap­ plications we've received in the eight weeks since we distributed the first forms indicate to us that many people will be applying this year," Allphin said. "Out of the 27,000 applications we have now processed, fewer than 2 per cent did not qualify. "The grants we've processed so far this year are about 23 per cent higher than last year's, with the average grant at about $197. The average at this time last year was $156, and the average overall for the year was about $158." The director said the Revenue department would whereas last year it was 53.6 million. Planting of all wheat is ex­ pected to total 73.2 million acres, 3 percent above last year and 24 percent above 1973. Wheat acreage planted in 1974 was 71.2 million, and in 1973 it was 59.0 million. mail about 150,000 applications within the next two months to senior and disabled homeowners who had applied previously. Those mailings are timed to coincide with the distribution of property tax n bills, which homeowners must have to file. Renters can file at anytime during the year since the law allows them to claim a flat 25 per cent of their rent payments as property taxes. Allphin said the revenue department encouraged senior and disabled persons who haven't applied to submit an application, which can be obtained by writing the Department of Revenue, Box 3124, Springfield, 111., 62708. A person is eligible if: -He is 65 years of age or older or had a disability that has lasted -- or is expected to last -- ,a year or more. -His" annual household in­ come is $10,000 or less. - He owes property tax or paid rent or privilege tax on his Illinois residence in 1974. -He is a resident of Illinois at * the time he files for the grant. Allphin said that residents of > nursing and sheltered care - homes that are subject to property tax were also eligible. f »»»»»• VA NEWS Q -- How many Spanish- American War veterans are there, and what is their average age?
