Vol e Farm Land (Town and Country Tips by Dave Plocher) v The Internal Revenue code section enacted in 1976 provided alternative ways to value farm land for estate tax purposes. This provision allows farm land to be *ah»A according to its value for farm use rather than according to its best use. The law stipulated though that if the heir of such land sells or ceases to use all or any part of the land for farm land within the next 15 years, there will be an additional tax due. Since land is sometimes taken for schools, highways, or other things beyond the heir's control, Congress has changed the law enacted in 1976. The additional tax will not be due if the proceeds from the involuntary change in land use are used to buy other farm land- This was effective for involuntary changes since 1976. Alternative Protein Sour­ ces--Swine producers may want to lower protein costs by using alternatives to soybean meal. Substitutes include alfalfa meal, cotton seed meal, linseed meal, meat and bone meal, tankage, Fish meal and blood meal. These alternatives protein sources should be kept at levels of five percent or less in the rations of growing - finishing hogs and lactating sows. The gestating sows could contain up to 10 per­ cent. The economic value of these alternatives depends mainly on their^ lysine content when fed at the5to 10 percent levels. If the content is greater than that of soybean meal, their value may be less than the lysine level indicates. If they contain less lysine than soybean meal, their value may be greater. More facts on nutrition, economics, engineering, health and other areas of swine production can be obtained from Swine Research reports in the 1980 Illinois Swine Seminar proceedings.

Improve Grain Drying--As you plan for additions or changes in your grain handling systems, keep in mind that drying corn can use as much energy as was used to grow it. Here are some things to do to be more energy efficient. -Don't dry corn if it is to be fed to livestock. Early harvested grain will need to be ciisucu. Lute iicu vcaicu corn, if below 18 percent moisture, can be kept cool by aeration if it is fed during the winter. -Harvest at lower moisture levels. When drying corn to 15.5 percent twice as much water must be removed from 27 percent moisture corn than from 22 percent moisture corn.' -Use an energy-efficient drying method. You pay a penalty for speed. -Screen out thrash and don't pile wet corn too high. Thrash and deep piles hinder good air flow. Soil Fertility--Farmers have many ideas on how to cut the increasingly bur­ densome costs of production, but I hope cutting soil fer­ tility isn't one. Most farmers recognize the value of a good fertility program but the outlook of higher costs of production for 1960 may cause you to forget that importance. A good soil test is the roadmap to proper lime and fertilizer application. Use the test and its recom­ mendations to increase profits. Move to the Rear--If you're replacing two tires, put the new tires on the rear wheels, says the National Safety council. According to experts at Goodyear Tire and Rubber company, rear-tire blowouts are harder to control than front-tire blowouts. They say the steering wheel gives more control over front tires. Hydroponics--Many am­ ateur and commercial gardeners have become interested in growing plants with their roots in an ar­ tificial medium instead of soil. This method of growing plants is commonly known as "hydroponics." Originally perfected as a system for growing plants in sterile sand, hydroponics is also referred to as soilless culture, water culture or gravel culture, depending on what type of medium is used According to James A. Fizzell, University of Illinois horticulturist in Cook county, hydroponics is used in commercial production, but it is employed mostly in those areas where soil is lacking or unsuitable for plant growth. Hydroponics is U3CU oo a wvi m plwu. research as well as a fascinating hobby. Remember, that in hydroponics, complete nutrient solutions and oxygenation are required. Plants are selective about removal of specific nutrients. Changing weather conditions can influence growth which, in turn, changes selectivity and the makeup of the nutrient solution. Precise measuring equipment is expensive, so amateurs usually must replace the entire solution every two weeks. Chemicals needed for hydroponic plant growth are now available pre-mixed through some catalogs, garden supply stores or reputable fertilizer sup­ pliers. You may want to prepare your own nutrient solution. But, before you attempt to formulate your own homemade solution, be sure you can get the chemicals you need. Hydroponics can be a challenging and rewarding hobby for the innovative, resourceful gardener. But,' it is not for the average person who has trouble remem­ bering the pH scale or that NaCl is table salt. Before you launch into the project, Fizzell suggests you read up on the subject.

It is expected the second center will be suc­ cessful in its attempts to give help without a bureaucratic hassle. While in Chicago, Cleland also attended the opening of the first Artist-in-Residence program at the Hines VA Medical center, which Mrs. Walter Mondale also at­ tended. The program is a joint venture of the VA and the National Foundation for the Arts. St. Francis National Catholic Church Sunday Masses Flanders Rd.- East of Ringwood Rd. Alliance Bible Charch 3115 W.
