"Now that would be a big family to invite for lunch - on Agriculture day." The luncheon will be at the rourt room in the Old Cour­ thouse Inn. hosted by Farm Bureau Luerrsen and two other area farmers will serve as a panel to answer questions posed by a cross section of the community. Among those in- yited are a manufacturer, I doctor, nurse, businessman. ' t housewife. kindergarten • student, secretary, airline ' pilot, minister, police chief. ' city official and county 1 government officials. Don Peasley is serving as chairman i for Agriculture Day programs J in McHenry county. • During his noontime talk. I Luerrsen will discuss some J problems of concern to far- • mers that he believes should be • of equal concern to city people. ' Among them are the effect the extensive drought will have on food prices, the govern­ mental discussions to establish a grain reserve with its im­ plications on depressing farm prices, and the continued disappearance of prime far­ mland from productive use. Despite soaring cost for many things-labor, tran­ sportation. fuel, for example- the American farmer is helping hold the line on food costs with increased production ef­ ficiency. 1 He is doing it with larger machinery, larger acres of land under one management. - skillful use of fertilizer and " chemicals, improved seed - supply from research-minded seed growers, and a continued - "Willingness to work long hours , when necessary. "»• Luerrsen cited two examples - Ten years ago that average 5 farmer fed only twenty-nine people, compared with fifty-six > today. C In 1950. Americans spent 25 £ percent of their take-home pay j for food. In 1960. it was 20 ^percent Today, the average .. American worker spends less than 18 percent of his paycheck i* for food C During the past ten years, the v retail price of food has in­ creased 10 percent. Look at the jncost of other things, suggests Luerrsen. Auto repairs, up 45 percent Postal costs, up 100 percent Doctors bills, up 70 percent. Auto insurance, up 80 percent. "Food is a good buy in the United States every day, and we farmers are proud of our ability to make this the best fed nation in the world and to have the chance to help relieve malnutrition and starvation in a good many other parts of the world as well." summarized Luerrsen CUT PRECINCTS FOR TOWN VOTE (Continued from page 1) pected to be on time, which > would call for payment of the 1 first installment June 1 and the second. Sept 1. One of the most important zoning decisions did not affect local propertyjdirectly. but was of general interest It was the request by Raymond and Mary F Murphy for reclassification from "F" Farming to "E l" Estate (2 acres • about 117 acres on Rt 14, north of Woodstock The intention was to subdivide this land into about forty-five home sites with a recreation area encompassing a small lake Taking into consideration the existing use of property in the area, present zoning of the ^rea. suitability of present zoning and the trend of development to large acreage home sites ranging from 1 to 20 acres, the Zoning Board of Appeals recommended denial The County board voted in accordance with that recom­ mendation At this point Huemann referred to the ordinance stating that 5-acre plots must be used for farming as the crux of the problem Without a definition and enforcement of the term farming, a buyer erects a house in the middle of the plot and many times finds a large piece of land unused Another zoning request, on which no action was taken, was that of Ralph and Esther Gunderson to reclassify property near Wonder Lake from the existing "Farming" district to "B 1" Business district. It consists of about 5.1 acres. The petitioners intend to remodel an old barn and out buildings to house small specialty shops There will be further study by the board. Among reappointments was that of H G Rodenkirch of McHenry as trustee on the McHenry Township Fire Protection district.

Sunday, March 20, at 3 p.m. at the Woodstock Opera House. George Harrison, field editor for the National Wildlife magazine, will be the speaker for the program. Harrison will present ways in which even a small backyard can be at­ tractively landscaped and become a haven for a variety of birds and wildlife. He will show many of the attractive shrubs and trees that are available and portray the dramatic changes that can occur with a little thought and planning. The principles of providing food, water and shelter that Harrison will discuss can be applied in areas the size of a city lot, a large farm or anything in between. McHenry county is ex­ periencing great pressure from development and urbanization, and this pressure is directly felt^ by wildlife. Diminishing habitat is a major cause for the decline of wildlife in this area. Since northern Illinois does not have much land left that can be set aside for just wildlife, providing habitat on private * land is critical. Auduboners and Defenders invite everyone to attend this informative and enjoyable program. There will be no admission charge and helpful pamphlets and literature will be available.

Insurance Helper Calamities happen every day to real people every­ where . . . people who are so busy, they haven't taken the time to prepare for the trying situations we all face from time to time. Today, more and more busy Ameri­ cans enjoy the time-saving convenience of purchasing in­ surance by mail to cover any­ thing from their health to their car. So many Ameri­ cans are doing this that purchase of insurance by mail rose to an all-time high last year . . . about $1 billion in premiums. Buying insurance by mail is as old as the pony express. Claims on insurance bought by mail are h a n d l e d with the same care, c o n c e r n , and speed as is the selling of the pol­ i c y i t s e l f . C o n s u m e r protection i s a s s u r e d by state and federal regu­ lations, carefully adhered to by all reputable insurance companies. Costs of insurance vary in relation to the protection needed . . . and the services required. You can determine your own insurance needs and how much you want to pay to pro- v i d e f o r those needs. Companies that sell in­ surance by mail can of­ fer low-cost protection that other­ wise would not be available. Many pol­ icies sold by mail are designed to luppleirient your other in­ surance without disturbing existing policies. Systems have been developed for providing fast, efficient service and prompt, personalized com­ munications with policy­ holders. Many insurance companies that sell by mail have joined together to form the Direct Marketing Insurance Council (DMIC). They support the highest standards of advertis­ ing and promotion practices. For two-thirds of American households, this could be the only contact offered them to obtain needed protection.
