Higher Operating Expenses For Farm Credit Members Farmers can expect to pay more for their operating ex­ pense money in 1978 than they have been paying in 1977, Jack Lee, president of the Northeast Illinois Production Credit association, told 300 annual meeting guests last week. With the price being paid farmers for their grain and •'* livestock at depressed levels, *this puts farmers in a cost-price saueeze of important con- fq--lew, but it may help keep the price of food to the con­ sumer from climbing quite so fast, he continued. However, as farmers know the price paid farmers represents only about 38 per­ cent of the cost of food delivered to the consumer, Lee said, and consumers can expect their food prices to climb because labor, transportation, retailing, wholesaling and the profit on food after it leaves the farm will continue pressing upward. "A representative amount of money to meet operating ex­ penses--fertilizer, fuel, chemicals and seed--could amount to $100,000, so whether money costs 8 or 8Vfe percent does make a difference. At a time when corn is about $1.60 a bushel at the farm, farmers are concerned about getting this year's crop harvested and marketed while at the same time worrying about what to do for 1978," said Lee. Alan Ainger, Harvard farmer in his twenty-first year as a member of the board, presided at this forty-fourth annual meeting. Ainger announced plans to construct a new office building on five acres of land southwest of Belvidere to serve farmers in the growing Belvidere branch office area. "We think business will continue to grow. It has ex­ panded rapidly. We also needed more parking." The zoning has been com­ pleted, plans are being developed and ground-breaking is anticipated in the spring of 1978. Ainger said $22,777,000 " in loans were approved during the past year. A total of sixty-seven new member loans were ap­ proved, slightly fewer than a year ago. However, total volume continues to climb. At the end of the fiscal year on June 30, Northeast Illinois PCA had $15 million in loans outstanding, a 25 percent increase over the previous fiscal year. Lee said the loans outstanding total has since exceeded $16 million. Earnings in fiscal 1976-77 totaled $166,073, a 28 percent increase over the preceding fiscal year. In the election of directors, both incumbents were re­ elected for three years each, Ray Karlson, Garden Prairie, to his second term, and Marvin Kruckenberg, Mundelein, to his third term. Elected to serve on the nominating committee for next year's annual meeting were William J. Becker. Crystal Lake; C. Arthur Sell, Belvidere; and Lyle W. Mat­ thews, McHenry. Elected alternates were Edward J. Gourley, Woodstock; Albert Blachford, Capron and George H. White, Mundelein. Three employees were recognized for outstanding achievement. Thomas D. Jones, assistant vice president, and Mrs. Carolyn Burnett, branch secretary at Belvidere, were presented with the Gold award by the PCA, only one of six among approximately 75 units in the state to earn this award which was given for "Service and Performance" by the Belvidere field office. Terry Schwebke, assistant vice president in the Lake county branch office, was honored for his service as chairman of the Illinois PCA conference earlier this year. Autumn Season Affords Area Tourists Colorful Settings An unique tradition in the midwest during September, October and early November is the celebration of "Indian Summer". It is during this time of year that low humidity, warm days and cool nights combine to transform the rich, green colors of summer to the vibrai:* ^iies of autumn. It is the perfect time of year for Sunday afternoon drives, quiet walks in the country or just recalling those hazy memories of youth. This part of the country has possibly the best variety of fall scenery in the nation. While it is nearly impossible to predict the exact time for fall color peaks, there are some guidelines available for Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan. Those who plan to travel to enjoy autumn's scenery must remember that weather plays the most important part in determining the time and in­ tensity of the fall color displays. Autumn in the midwest is a wonderful time of year, but when beginning a fall color expedition, remember that the dates mentioned are only ap­ proximate. The right com­ bination of cool weather and low humidity are the all- important factors, and this year the color could come two to three weeks earlier than usual because of the mild summer. Illinois Mid-October generally is the best time to view the changing colors in this part of the central -midwest. In northern Illinois, the Mississippi Palisades would be a good place to visit as would nearby Galena. Illinois Rt. 2 follows the Rock river south from Rockford and is an especialW^oleasant drive fall com? Adventurers favorite ^Chicago-area traction is the Morton boretum near Lisle, where 4,800 plant species can be viewed in one afternoon. for A at- Ar- In central Illinois, a drive along the Illinois river from Peru to Peoria is another color tour favorite. State parks are always convenient on this drive with Starved Rock at the northern end and Pere Marquette near the southern end. Indiana Autumn in Indiana brings to mind many scenes. In mid- October the entire state is ablaze with color and one of the best routes to follow is Ind. Rt. 46 through colorful Brown county. Clifty Falls State park on the Ohio river also will be beautiful during the fall, and can be reached using Ind. Rt. 56. The Parke county area is another excellent attraction during the fall with many picturesque covered bridges dotting the landscape remin­ ding travelers of another era when life moved along more slowly. Wisconsin Since the changing colors of fall begin in the north and move slowly south with the changing weather conditions, northern Wisconsin generally peaks in late September or early Oc­ tober, with the rest of the Badger state peaking in mid- October. In the northern Eagle river- Rhinelander-Manitowish wa­ ters area, Rt. 51 and Rt. 70 are good major routes to ex­ plore. The traffic is very light in late September offering many opportunities for leisurely driving. In eastern Wisconsin, Door county is another great fall color and recreation area. The best routes in this area are Rt. 42 and Rt. 57. The Kettle Moraine forest, west of Milwaukee, is traversed in both its sections by$l4^t? #nd is a beautiful plac&'to motor through any time of the year. For those with more time, try following the Wisconsin river valley west to the Mississippi river and then north on Rt. 35 along the banks of the Mississippi. Both of these river valleys are breathtaking when decked out in fall colors. Michigan Like Wisconsin, fall colors come first to Michigan's nor­ thern area. All of the Upper Peninsula is forested and all of it is beautiful in late Sep­ tember. Route 28 offers an especially beautiful route to follow. The peak color period is usually mid-October in the western and southern portions of the Lower Peninsula.
