Drink the water: the ice is ^crystal clear and perfectly safe Eat anything on the menu: the meat is fresh and salads are crisp and delicious in restaurants Enjoy popcorn and ice cream sold at corner stands. And take home cottage cheese and milk from the supermarket and feed them to the baby. Americans trustfully do these things every day. secure in the knowledge that somebody is making sure that all these things are safe to eat and drink Someone is setting the stan­ dards and checking the methods by which food is made available to the public Anyone who travels abroad knows that most countries don't have the same high hygienic standards that we have in the I'nited states In some foreign countries, a visitor is warned to buy fruit, drink water or iced drinks or eat anything unless it 's thoroughly cooked Disregarding these warnings results in attacks of digestive upsets with popular names like Montezuma's Revenge, more accurately diagnosed as food poisoning caused by active bacteria in contaminated food Diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, fever and prostration are caused by staphylococcus. Clostridium, salmonella and streptococcus bacteria all around us. and many having a taste for the same food we do. In McHenry county, sanitarians from the county Health department make sqre that all food service establish­ ments sell wholesome, un- contaminated food by following the rules set forth in ordinance form by the county board. All establishments, super markets, restaurants, vending machines, popcorn stands, hot dog stands at ball parks, catering trucks and church halls offering dinners to the public must obey. Permits to operate are issued to restaurants for the period of one year Checks on the 526 restaurants in the county are made twice a year at an un designated time and in­ spections are made of everything that comes in contact with the food from employees to refrigerators Temporary food stands are restricted to serving food that is not potentially dangerous, and are expected to use ex­ treme caution in handling food Permits are required and daily inspections are made Groceries and supermarkets^ vendors and catering trucks must maintain the same high standards in handling food Twice yearly inspections are made There is no way to measure how much illness is avoided by the preventive methods en forced by the county Health department where food is served An unwary traveler who wasn't careful about what he ate could probably tell you what you're missing by staying home * * * % -The delibcrmt itc misufe of freedoms is^as danger ous as "The suppression. • ;CWEI CATALOG OUTLET STORE • JEWEL CATALOG OUTLET STORE • IEWEL CATALOG OUTLET S A DIVISION OF JEWEL DIRECT MARKETING 301 W.Virginia St. CRYSTAL LAXE 815-455-0333 Mon, Tues. 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Wed., Thurs., Fri. 9 a.m.-8 p.m. Sat. 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Sun. 10 a.m.-3 p.m CHRISTMAS SHOPPING SPREE at Jewel MCC Sale Days Wed., Dec. 6 Thru Tues., Dec. 12 --While Quantities Last-- CLOTHING BONANZA --MENS'--LADIES'--BOYS'--GIRLS' Choose From: A •SHIRTS -TOPS •JACKETS -LOUNGEWEAR •SWEATERS -PJ's •SLACKS -BOOTS •JEANS -SHOES (Socks and Underwear Not Included) TOYS--TOYS--TOYS ^ OFF Our Discount Price 8 in 1 owling Alley $>79 Game f Play up to 8 ga on 1 game boa , $13.19 OFF Our Discount Price Save on our entire selection of toys.

McHenry County) Corn And Soybean Supply Outlook - Since few of you receive the Illinois Farm and Food Outlook newsletter. 1 thought I'd share some recent facts in it with you Com consumption will have to exceed last year s use by 11 percent if the entire crop of 6 89 billion bushels is to be used The food use of corn is expected to increase by about 4 percent, but that use accounts for less than 10 percent of the total U.S. corn consumption Because of large supplies of feed grains world wide, U S corn exports are not expected to be significantly larger than last year's record level The burden for increased corn consumption rests on the domestic livestock industry If the entire 1978 corn crop is to be used, corn consumed as feed needs to total 4,37 billion bushels That would be an in­ crease of 18 percent over last year Based on projected iivestock numbers and feedihg rates, feed use is expected to total about 4.04 billion bushels, an increase of 7 percent As a result, the carryover stocks on Oct 1. 1979. may total nearly 1 4 billion bushels, a 30 percent increase over Oct. 1. 1978 The strength of the corn market has been surprising, due mainly to tight holdings by farmers and rapid movements of corn into the reserve program Even with the large movements of corn into the reserve, supplies are abundant The soybean supply is about 100 million bushels greater than last year If the entire crop is used, soybean crush and ex ports ne£d to exceed last year's levels by about 6 percent In­ creasing livestock numbers both domestically and abroad plus the lack of soybean meal from Brazil for the next few months should insure an in­ crease of at least 6 percent in meal consumption The demand for soybean oil is less certain because of larger supplies of competing products A strong world demand for edible fats and oils, however, should prevent a significant increase in oil stocks The 1978 soybean crop is likely to be consumed entirely Soybean prices may show continued strength this winter a larger Brazilian crop is ex­ pected in 1979. which could put downward pressure on soybean prices after the first of the year Rootworm Populations Down • Western and northern corn rootworm beetle populations declined sharply during 1978. but these pests are by no means extinct, according to Don Kuhlman. University of Illinois Extension entomologist When I talked to Don last week he said thiit they still have to be Considered a threat to con­ tinuous corn in the northern two-thirds of Illinois in 1979 About 30 percent of the fields in northern Illinois had one or more rootworm beetles per plant during August These fields should be treated with a rootworm soil insecticide if replanted to corn in 1979 Although rootworm beetles seemed almost conspicuous by their absence last summer population levels are similar to 1975, according to Don Hoot worm beetle populations however, increased tremen dously the next two years The most important reasons for the decline in rootworm beetle populations this year was late planting Kootworm larval survival and subsequent beetle populations may be reduced by half with late May or June planting, compared to planting in April or early May I will give you some 1979 tips next week Prevent Stored Grain Insect Problems - Now that the hard, long hours of harvest are over, make sure the stored grain maintains its quality Specifically, monitor your grain bins for outbreaks of stored grain insects Steve Moore. University of Illinois entomologist recommends First, store clean, dry grain The moisture content should be 13 percent or less, with the grain cooled to 50 degrees Fahrenheit or lower Keep foreign material and broken kernels to a minimum If the corn is to be carried over beyond May of 1979, Moore suggests inspecting it at monthly intervals Use a metal rod inserted down through the center of the gram or a tem perature probe to check for "hot spots " With soybeans he suggests hanging one dichlorvos resin strip per 1,000 cubic feet of overspace There is no in secticide labeled for direct application to stored soybeans Spray Operators Training - Steve Moore will be one of several speakers at the 31st Illinois Custom Spray Operators Training school Jan ». 10 and 11 in Champaign I'rbana Sessions will be held at the Ramada Inn convention center in Champaign and the Illini Union, on the University of Illinois campus in Urbana Registration will be from 8 :30 a m until 4:30 p.m. and 7 to 9:30 p.m Jan 9 at the con­ vention center University of Il l inois specialists and specialists from other states and government agencies will discuss weed, insect and disease control in corn, soybeans and the home vegetable garden: state registration of pesticides for special local needs, restricted use. cancelled and suspended pesticides, pesticide impact assessment programs and the Rebuttable Presumption Against Registration, new i n s e c t i c i d e s p e s t management, pesticide con­ tainer disposal and pesticide degradation, t i l lage effect on weed control. and an update on laws and regulations on pesticides in Il l inois A registration fee includes a copy of * the manual of presentations \ ( .

Call me to make reser vat ions " Fluorescent l-ight For Indoor Plants - Now that you gar deners have been chased in­ doors by the weather, and can only dream about next year 's flowers and vegetables, don't forget your houseplants. I was never quite sure why our house plants looked so bad in the winter The fact is that most homes are simply too dark for good plant growth Recent studies at the Or namentals laboratory of the l!.S.' Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research service. Beltsville. Md , suggests that fluorescent lights do a better job of producing healthy plants at lower operating cost than do incandescent plant growth lights Petunias grown under fluorescent l ights look like those grown under greenhouse conditions: they are compact and luxuriant, with deep, green foliage Although the plants grown under incandescent l ights differed somewhat depending on the kind of l ight used, they all tended to be long and stringy According to I)r Cathey. FSDA researcher, light from an incandescent source is in the "red range", which promotes internode lengthening and eventually turns all plants into climbing vines These findings do not suggest that incandescent light should not be considered for indoor plants, in fact, incandescent lights such as hanging flood lamps, can be used in decorative arrangements to supplement bright l ight from a window But you must have reasonably good natural l ight, too
