The event took place in conjunction with the 70th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America, The Scouts and explorers, including Bill Floeter of Crystal Lake, were selected by their respective councils for outstanding leadership qualities. They had an op­ portunity to "take over" an important state elective or appointive office for the day. Each representative had a chance to "campaign" for one of the six elective state offices. An election then took place and the results determined which Eagle would fill each office. Floeter was chosen attorney general. The balance were appointed by the Eagle Scout governor and his cabinet to their various posts. The climax of the three day event was the Tuesday Governor ' s l uncheon . Following an address by Gov. Thompson and being sworn into office by the Secretary of State, the Eagle Scouts spent the afternoon with his state office holder, taking over his job and learning more about state government.

The many diet books> clubs and fads are testimony to the fact that most Americans are overweight and no one has found an easy way to lose weight safely and permanently. Nutritionists and physicians caution against fads and stress the need for a nutritionally balanced change in eating habits. Whether you need to lose lOpoundsor 100 pounds, finding the diet and the motivation that will ac­ complish tHis is, perhaps, the most difficult thing to do. What works for one person may not be the answer for another. Nutritionists stress that while fasting or fad diets produce weight loss, eventually the overweight person must find a lasting, healthy way to lose or keep pounds off. Whether you choose to weigh your food, follow a prescribed menu of meals, count calories or count food exchanges, some tricks to losing weight may help you. 1. Serve your meal on a small plate. It appears to be more to eat that way. 2. Eat only at the dining table. Watching TV or reading encourages overeating because you're unaware of how much you've eaten already. Eating away from the table forms a habit McHenry County , Weather 344-3100 YOU CRN BANK on it! Presented by STATEBANK OF RICHMOND member F.D.I.C. Some of the surprises in the economy during the 1970s came from the changing patterns of the work force in the Country. Even considering the r ecen t ly pub l i c i zed ballooning of congressional staff personnel, total federal employment (as a percentage of the overall work force) decreased from 3.4% in 1970 to 2.8% at the close of the decade. The increasing productivity of farmers and ranchers lowered their percentage of the work force from 4% in 1970 to a current level of just over 3 percent. Of course, the big increase in the labor force during the seventies was the number of working age women employed. It was 43 per­ cent in 1970 but had risen to 57% by the end of 1979. Among the problem areas for the 1970s was the slow growth in produc­ tivity. Although produc­ tivity (output per person wodring) is difficult to measu re , economic analysts now say the 1970s had a production increase of just over 1 percent . The Sputtering Seventies appear to have been just that, not a boom . . . not a bust. What will the eighties bring? We'll be looking at some possibilities during the weeks ahead. or signal to eat in other places between meals. 3. Bring your own low calorie dressing or sugar substitute to a restaurant or friend'8 home. It's your health that is at stake. 4. Chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly. 5. Post reminders such as a snapshot of formerly slim you on the refrigerator or kitchen cabinets. 6. Find substitute foods for the high calorie nibblies. This may be celery or carrots, cleaned and ready to eat. 7. Make a list of everything you eat during the day, even pats of butter or margarine and snacks. 8. When eating out, look for the lowest calorie foods or ask for a more simple food. A choice from a salad bar can become your whole meal. 9. Alcoholic beverages stimulate the appetite. Caffeine does the same. 10. Skipping meals may encourage snacking between meals. 11. Busy people don't think about eating. And keep your hands busy with craftwork or other activities. 12. Exercise. Even moderate exercise uses up 200 calories per hour. Moderation is the byword in any diet and one that follows the family eating style as closely as possible is more likely to succeed.

WI OC US V & •, a. ;• Jill Mtayno Fowtor Agronomic Education Direclot Soil Testing ̂ In recent columns \fce have attempted to establish the value of properly interpreted soil tests as the only truly valid way of determining fertilizer need. This ap­ proach enables more ef­ ficient fertilizer use and cost. We think overall fer­ tilizer rate adjustments are appropriate only if no yield reduction occurs as a result and future soil productivity is not impaired. Soil, directly and in­ directly, undoubtedly has greater influence on crop production than any other one factor. Differences in drainage, moisture holding capacity, response to fer­ tilizer, and tilth are readily recognized by anyone who has farmed or observed a piece of land for a few years. These recognized dif­ ferences influence the choice of hybrid, the choice of herbicide, the planting rate and date, and the fertilizer rate. If you want to get real precise about it, areas within each field often vary enough to require separate con­ sideration. It sounds ex­ tremely burdensome and expensive to correct the situation, but one reason present fertilization prac­ tices are not as efficient as they should be is because uniform fertilizer ap­ plications accentuate existing soil differences - the more fertile areas are unneccessarily over- fertilized while less fertile ones fall further and further behind. A field that averages 130 bushels per acre may have areas in it that go as high as 170 but others as low Modify Grain Reserve Program as 100 or less, reflecting differences in nutrient level as well as variation in other soil characteristics. * To get a picture of the nutrient variation within an individual field, consider more intensive soil sampling than is generally practiced. Draw up a grid plan for one of your fields and sample, perhaps, fifteen times where you would normally take five or six. When the lab results come back, you may find little sample-to-sample variation. This indicates reasonable soil uniformity and suggests that an overall uniform fertilizer application is most appropriate. On the other hand, you may find portions of the field that are considerably dif­ ferent in pH, phosphorus, or potassium level. Now, the question is whether those portions fall into "workable" patterns so that you can alter lime or fertilizer ap­ plication and take advantage of what the tests have revealed. It is worth a try, although it may not be easy or simple. We would expect maximum lime and fer­ tilizer use efficiency where application rates and ratios, even in a single field, have been altered in accord with intensively sampled soil test results. Fertilizer use becomes more of a science when this is done. We would finally begin to see truly corrective applications of lime and plant nutrients - not applications that are simply intended to raise the "average" field test to a higher level. BIFOCALS Middle-age is wfyfen you develop the capacity to look at the long and short of things -- but only when you're wearing bifocals. The agricultural Stabilization and Con­ servation Service (ASCS) recently increased price levels for releasing and calling crops from the farmer-owned grain reserve, waived first-year interest costs for grain entering the reserve, and increased the annual storage payment for reserve grains. Jim Lucas, county executive director of the McHenry county ASCS of­ fice, said program modifications were made to offset the potential decline in farm prices and income caused by the suspension of grain to the Soviet Union. The new release level for corn placed in the reserve program before Jan. 7, 1980, is 2.63 per bushel. ASCS will call reserve loan agreements dated Jan. 7 or later when market prices for corn reach $3.05 per bushel. "We have also waived first-year interest costs for the next 13 million tons of corn entering the reserve," Lucas said. Storage payments for reserve corn was increased from 25 to 26'/2 cents a bushel. When ASCS authorizes release of reserve crops, farmers may repay the loan, sell the commodity and keep the storage payments earned. When loans are called, farmers are not required to sell but the reserve loan must be repaid within 90 days from the date of notification or the grain will be forfeited to the Commodity Credit cor­ poration. Local producers own about 1,327,746 bushels of reserve grain. * • * • Children would prob­ ably behave better if adults gave them a better example. • * • * Every child should learn discipline but the lesson requires a wise teacher. 1200 N.
