NEW BOOK ...And LorVs ...Of Luck In Devising Her Class Schedule! STAFF PHOTOS BY WAYNE GAYLORD Out... McHenry high school students from both campuses and from feeder eighth grades recently were involved in student self- scheduling. During this prdaess, students build their class schedule for next year. Previously, students reviewed what courses they should take with their teachers, counselors, and parents. In self-scheduling, the students simply choose when they wish to take classes from the master schedule. As sophomore Lori Gibson, pictured, found out, not every student can get every class wanted due to class size limitations. For this reason, the process of self-scheduling sometimes is a challenge to the student. During the beginning of the second semester, students indicated what courses they would take for the next school year. From this information, the high school schedule builders assist the principals in developing the master schedule. This master schedule is sent to computer facilities where it is processed and the materials needed for student self-scheduling are made. So, when a student goes into self-scheduling, it is not to choose what classes will be taken, but rather when the classes will be taken. After the self-scheduling is done, the material is sent back to the computer facility where the students' final schedules are printed. Farmers Control Crop Under Reserve Program Secretary of Agriculture Bob Bergland recently announced a food grain reserve program to be administered by the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation service (ASCS). Jim Lucas, county executive director, McHenry County ASCS office explained how the new storage program works. ASCS will enter into a three- year agreement with individual farmers to keep a portion of their 1976 wheat crop off the market until it reaches a reasonable price level. "The way this program will work is that all farmers who have a 1976 wheat loan can enter into a contract with the government for a three-year period after the loan matures," Lucas said. On the first day of the con­ tract, or on the maturity date of the loan, the farmer will be paid a one year's storage payment of twenty cents per bushel for wheat. Under the terms of the contract, he retains the earned storage payment as long as he agrees to store his wheat until the market price exceeds 140 percent of the loan level. "This would mean that when the average market price for wheat went above $3.15 a bushel that we would stop the storage payment and the farmer could pay off his loan plus interest," the ASCS official explained. 5 The farmer would be allowed to keep the storage amount that he had earned-the number of months the average market price is below the 140 percent level. If the market price stays below the 140 percent level for the entire three-year period, the farmer would earn storage payments at the rate of twenty cents per year for a total of sixty cents. "The important fact is that the farmer retains control of the commodity at all times," Lucas said. The USDA agreement also contains a provision which allows the Secretary of Agriculture to recall a loan in RENTAL NO installation charge NEW fully automatic softeners TWO year option to buy with FULL rental fee deducted ONE phone call can answer any questions per month PHONE 312-259-3393 RENT-A-SOFT INC. Serving McHenry & Greater McHenry County the event that the market price of wheat per bushel reaches 175 percent of the loan rate. "At that point, the farmer would be allowed a thirty-day grace period to pay off the loan." The food grain reserve program will be available for both farm and warehouse storage. Farmers who have not already made a loan will have until May 31, 1977 to do so. At the maturity date of the loan, he can enter into the reserve agreement for the additional three-year period. To be eligible for the program, the farmer must have placed his wheat under loan, or plan to put it under loan prior to May 31.
