New Twist To Farm Bureau Flower Show Participation Scout News A new twist is being added to Farm Bureau's participation in the popular Chicagoland Flower and Garden Show April 1-9. For the past three years farmers have erected an exhibit, shown growing crops and talked with the thousands of city people who flock to the colorful attraction. For 1978, the seven County Farm Bureaus comprising the Northeastern Illinois County Farm Bureaus Consumer Information committee will add live farm animals to their exhibit--a sure-fire way to entertain and inform the visitors, says Leonard Schultz, Glenview farmer who is chairman for the participating farmers. A sow and litter of pigs will be in one pen. Lambs will be in a second pen. A calf will be in another. An incubator showing chicks as they hatch is planned for another corner of the sizable exhibit. Also in the exhibit will be gowing corn, soybeans, wheat and oats so city people can see what these crops look like. Also on view will be bushel baskets filled with these farm crops to give visitors a firsthand look at the crops that come from the specific plant Two other features are planned for this booth, Schultz says. The WGN radio noon show-one of the outstanding agricultural-consumer radio programs in the nation-will originate from the Farm Bureau exhibit during week days of the flower show. Orion Samuelson, WGN farm director, is one of the country's most articulate spokesmen in explaining * farming and far­ mers' problems to the con­ sumer, Schultz asserted. A second attraction will be a brochure featuring a colored farm photo on the cover, "Spring in Rural America." The brochure incorporates some information about p r o b l e m s c o n f r o n t i n g agriculture, but its main ingredient are favorite recipes supplied by farm families who live in the participating counties. Included are main dish recipes, salads, desserts, quick luncheon ideas and hors d'ouevres The participating county Farm Bureaus are Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will. Farm Bureau is a voluntary mem­ b e r s h i p o r g a n i z a t i o n representing more than 90 percent of the farm families in northeastern Illinois. Schutlz said the Consumer Information committee plans to take part in a weekend effort to reach out to consumers at a major Chicagoland shopping center. North Riverside mall at Harlem and Cermak. Dale Espel, Kane county Farm Bureau manager, is coor­ dinating that effort in mid- March All seven county Farm Bureaus will have farm men and women staff the exhibits at both North Riverside and the Flower show "Farmers want to go to these events because we find that by talking with city people in person we can generate im­ portant understanding between farmers and the food-buying public," explaiend Schultz. "We need to explain our concern over the rising costs for things we must buy to raise food-everything from fuel and fertilizer to seed and farm equipment At the same time, the prices we receive for our grain and other products has HUNTER COUNTRY CLUB 5419 KENOSHA ST.

Those factors include the cost of labor, retailing, wholesaling and transportation. Even though the amount paid far­ mers for grain and meat in 1977 was below that paid in 1974 or 1975, the cost to the city person increased noticeably, Schultz summarized. One other matter farmers want to discuss with city people for their mutual benefit is the reason farmers seek more exports of farm products. The American public uses only three-fourths of this nation's grain production, but American farmers need to produce at a high level in order to meet the expenses of equipment and other inputs in today's high- cost production farming. "That excess production requires a market, and the overseas customer is the- logical buyer. We also have an opportunity as well as an obligation to help feed the less fortunate people in other lands. We have the food available if aggressive export marketing would merchandise it," Schultz concluded. Greater effort to step up exports and to persuade other countries to lessen their restrictions on the shipment of U.S. food into their lands is sought by Farm Bureau. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is the main contact with other countries toward developing exports. Fill Health Systems Board Openings Soon Pack 162 of McHenry's Cub Scouts held their annual Pinewood derby races Jan. 31, at the Legion hall. Winners were first place, Robert Williams; Mark Etheridge, second place; and Sam Merkle, third place. This was a special honor for second place winner Mark Etheridge as his trophy was awarded to him the same day he graduated from Webelos to Boy Scouts. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Nine positions on the thirty- member board of directors of the Health Systems agency for Kane, Lake and McHenry counties (HSA-KLM) will be filled at HSA-KLM's annual meeting in April. Persons in­ terested in being candidates for election to the board must be residents of Kane, Lake or McHenry counties and have shown interest in, and knowledge about, the health concerns of area residents. Application forms and ad­ ditional information may be obtained by calling the HSA- KLM office, 312-438-7373. The agency is nearing completion of a five-year Health Systems plan and an annual implementation plan containing detailed goals, objectives and recommended actions. The HSP will be useful as a guide to how area health systems should change over time. The latter plan identifies specific short range objectives requiring community action during the year beginning May 1. HSA-KLM works to improve the health of area residents by e n c o u r a g i n g n e e d e d development and discouraging unnecessary development. Health care consumers and providers make decisions based on: (1) planning data gathered by the HSA staff and (2) their own knowledge of local community needs and priorities. A consumer majority is required at all policy-making levels. The agency's membership committee will meet at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 8, and Wednesday, March 8, for the purpose of reviewing ap­ plications and interviewing candidates. The meetings will be held at the HSA-KLM office, 400 South Old Rand road, Lake Zurich. * * * * The only plan that counts for much is one that's carried out. Farm Groups Sponsor - Family Safety Program A new program calling at­ tention to the many aspects of safety is planned from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 18, sponsored for the public by Farm Bureau and the Ex­ tension service. Called "Family Safety Day," the program will feature visual presentations, demonstrations, discussions, and speakers. Tractor safety is a prominent part of every program where farmers are involved, and a special feature is the in­ formation on a tractor school so youths 14-16 without a license can operate a tractor for someone other than their own father. This is a successful Extension service project, says Dave Plocher, Extension ad­ viser. Reservations are requested and those interested are asked to call the Farm bureau. The Farm bureau Women's committee is spearheading efforts to develop the program and to provide the free lunch. Mrs. Ella Martin is chairman for the women's committee, and she says two - men will headline the program: Ordie Hogsett. U of I specialist, and John Scott. Country Companies safety representative. With more grain bins being erected to store the big surplus of grain, another type of ac­ cident is becoming increasingly frequent-grain bin suffocation. Scott will talk about this and also discuss wagons, falls, personal protective equipment, farm chemicals and farm machinery shields. Hogsett will discuss tractor safety as he reminds us that tractors are involved in 50 percent of the fatal farm ac­ cidents each year. In the United States about 2,000 farm ac­ cident deaths are reported annually, about 1,000 due to some type of a tractor accident. Mrs Martin made this point as she invited people to the program: "The number of tractor accidents has been about the same the past several years, but the number of far mers has declined significantly, so in effect that represents an increase in this form of farm accident." Studies indicate that young people become addicted to alcohol more quickly < 6 months to two years) than adults <5 to 15 years). Drinking is starting at an earlier age than ever before, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. spurgeons Save Now!
