Christmas Candlelight tours of the restored Pettengill-Morron House in Peoria provide just that. Visitors are greeted in the candle-lined circular drive by carolers before being ushered into the house by a butler. The house is bright and cheery and each of the Victorian home's 11 rooms is trimmed with holly and other Christmas or­ namentation. Candles and carolers are everywhere. Old time vignettes capture the spirit of a true Victorian Christmas: The table in the dining room is lavishly set while mother and daughter go about the happy task of baking cookies. Children visiting the house are each given a cookie as they leave and upstairs a tiny tyke is already snuggled in bed waiting for the arrival of Santa Claus. The hour-long tours will be conducted Nov. 30, Dec. 1 and 2 and Dec. 7, 8, and 9 from 7 to 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 2 to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

American agriculture can learn a lot about using far­ mland more efficiently from techniques used in Britain, according to Don Barrett, coordinator of the agricultural programs at McHenry County college. "For example, the British can produce twice as many shrubs and trees per acre of land as we can. We Americans think we know everything, but the English are so far behind us they are ahead of us," Barrett said. The MCC instructor recently returned from a month-long visit to Britain during which he collected information on British nursery, food crop production, dairy farming and beef production techniques. Barrett also made arrangements on the trip for a new MCC program which will enable students to spend a year working in British agricultural industries between their first and second years of agricultural studies at McHenry County college. The program includes op­ portunities for students to work at Hillier Nurseries in Win­ chester, England, which is the largest propagator of shrubs and trees in the world. Students interested in other areas of agriculture will be able to spend the year working on farms including beef, dairy, sheep, hog or grain farms Barrett said. SFCTION 2 - PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26,1»7« rom • CUB SCOUTS i ttnirrcf Barrett originally went to England to pay a return visit to Brian Humphrey, production director of Hillier nurseries, who taught a week-long workshop at MCC in 1976. On his August trip Barrett spent a week with Humphrey, studying the techniques which enable British nurserymen to get much higher production levels from their land than their American counterparts. The techniques include barei rooting of plants rather than balling them, careful management, high level fer­ tilization, and an intense "appreciation for the land they have," Barrett explained. The attitude which has kept residential development out of the countryside in Britain also plays a role in making their agricultural industries suc­ cessful without big machinery and massive farms, Barrett said. He said he was fascinated by the British habit of landscaping front yards with flowers rather than just turf grasses, trees and shrubs. "They have such a love for agriculture over there. Here agriculture is not always ap­ preciated by the non-farmers," Barrett said. After the week at the nur­ sery, Barrett and his wife, Elaine, visited universities, teaching schools, ministry of agriculture laboratories, dairy, beef cattle, sheep and grain operations and agricultural businesses throughout England, Scotland and Wales. Barrett spent time mar­ velling at how Britons have abandoned the traditional breeds of sheep and cattle for more exotic hybreds. "They only keep a few Angus, Herefords, Hampshires and Shropshires around for the American tourists," Barrett explains. The MCC instructor also pressed wildflowers and collected^eeds and spent half a day working in a Ministry of Agriculture soils testing laboratory. Again, he'found the British ahead of us in techniques. Barrett said his experiences traveling through Britain showed him how keeping fields integrated for both meat and plant production can produce higher yields on much poorer soils than we have. "By going away from animals to monoculture in McHenry county we're wasting our soils potentials," he observed. "Americans are just beginning to\ learn what the British havr*nown for years. That is that technology alone is not the answer. British agriculturalists have had historical perspective which makes them aware that every inch of agricultural land is sacred. In McHenry county with the passage of our new zoning and land use plan we have only just begun to follow their example," Barrett said. Employer Tax Deadline Oct. 31 is the date by which employers must report on Form 941 Social Security and withheld federal income taxes for the third quarter of 1979, and pay any taxes due, the Internal Revenue Service said. If the quarterly liability (reduced by any deposit during the quarter) is $200or more, the unpaid balance must be deposited. This deadline does not apply to those employers who make timely deposits of the full amount of tax due in Federal Reserve or approved com­ mercial banks. They are allowed until Nov .13 to file Form 941, "Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return". If employers have not received Form 941 by mail, they can obtain one from local IRS offices. IRS Publication 15, "Circular E-Employer's Tax Guide", is also available at local offices.
