Wisconsin, "Swiss Cheese Capital of the U.S.A.," will resound with Old World songs and yodeling the weekend of June 11, 12 and 13, 1976, as 400 or more Swiss from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois and Wisconsin gather for the twenty-eighth National Swiss Singing Festival, or "Saengerfest." The Festival, hosted previously by Swiss singing groups in Pittsburgh, Pa., Columbus and Canton, Oh., Chicago and St. Louis, never has been held in a community as small as Monroe, population approximately 10,000. However, as host town for sixty years of Cheese day celebrations, Monroe is well equipped with the necessary "gemutlikeit" hospitality know-how to insure a happy time for Saengerfest groups and guests. Headquarters for this Swiss American singing Alliance Festival will be at Turner hall, two blocks south of the public square shopping district. The Festival events will open Friday. June 11, at 8 p.m. with a reception, concert and dance in Turner hall for participating singers and their friends S a t u r d a y m o r n i n g ' s rehearsals at the Junior high school auditorium will be open only to competing singing groups. Bus tours of the Monroe area and to various cheese factories, however, will begin for guests at 9 a.m. The prize singing competition itself, in the Junior high at 2 p.m Saturday, will be open to the public. Highlight of the Saengerfest will come Saturday at 8 p.m. in the Senior high school with a 350-voice chorus singing under Extension Comments (Bv George J. Young, Ex­ tension Advisor, Agriculture, McHenry county, University of Illinois) Soybean Variety Plot - We planted our soybean variety demonstration plot on Dan Walter's farm near Hebron May 13. The plot includes twenty-two varieties and we finished planting just before the rain. Our office has a diagram of the plots if you want to look at them. We will have a twilight meeting at the plots in Sep­ tember. After we finished planting the plots, I had a chance to look at the corn Dan planted on April 15. It's emerged and looks good. Tender Vegetables - Home gardeners can start thinking about setting out tender vegetable plants this week. Such vegetables as lima beans, peppers, tomatoes and most vine crops, including cucum­ bers, squash and melons are extremely susceptible to low t e m p e r a t u r e s . T h e s e vegetables should not be planted for two to three weeks following the average last frost date. The average date of the last freeze in McHenry county is May 7. Beef Tour - We are planning a cow-calf tour for July 13 and 14. This is in conjunction with the Lake County Extension office. The group will travel by bus to Urbana and tour the Univer­ sity's beef research facilities on the thirteenth. We will then travel on to the University's Dixon Springs Research center and participate in their beef cattle tour on the fourteenth, McHenry county can have up to twelve seats on the bus. They will be on a first come, first served basis. State And Local Taxes - The Commerce Clearing house reports that in fiscal 1973-74, the amount of state and local taxes paid per person in Illinois was $699. This places us seventh among the fifty states. New Yorkers were on top, paying $952 each. Alaskans paid $383., the lowest. This does not include our federal tax structure. Dairy Profitability - The ten- year average returns per milk cow above feed cost is $359 per year according to the University's Farm Business Farm Management records. Subtract from this the average direct cash non-feed cost of $94 and all other non-feed expenses of $346 and this results in $81.00 per cow per year. To make money, a dairyman must be better than average. Dairy Herd Improvemnt records are an important tool in evaluating production, feeding and breeding. Coming Educational Events May 28 - Crop Production direction of Mrs Perry Power of Monroe, with the orchestra of high school musicians directed by Joseph Kiraldo Sunday.
