c PAGE 18 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, MARCH 25,1983 FOCUS ON LANDFILL f Continued from pag« 1) publishes its proposed water quality standards for the Fox river. The EPA will seek use designations for every major river basin in the state in­ cluding the Fox. The uses will, in turn, govern the amount of pollution control required to preserve the water quality necessary for a range of uses in­ cluding municipal water supply and recreation. Public hearings will probably be held in July by the PCB on the designated uses for the Fox. Dumelle stressed that the public would have ample opportunity to present scien­ tific and other testimony. All testimony will be under oath with opportunity for cross-examination. •Copies of Dumelle's comments on landfill siting and other pollution issues in Illinois are available at the Defenders office, 65 N. Williams street, Crystal Lake. Requests may also be made by phone, 4509-0450, or h{y mail, P.O. Box 603, Crystal Lake, 111., 60014. RARM COMMUNITY LOOKS AHEAD (Continued from page 1) ajid consumption has not risen suf­ ficiently. !The PIK program is geared primarily to the grain producers; however, similar or even more drastic treasures may be needed to help the dairy farmers. ; Payment for non-production is not supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), but it would help to keep smaller producers in business. An alternative, a drastic cut in the dairy price support, would wipe out many producers. Without the price supports, the long- term process was to increase or decrease production in order to meet consumption and keep prices at a profitable level. This, however, produced wide swings in the prices and hurt, everyone, the farmers said. So, price supports were instituted to prevent the wide swings and they functioned well until the supports were tied to the price index. Then, the support prices rose so fast, there was no incentive for producers to cull herds and decrease production. Clifford Ganschow, who recently purchased a controlling interest in Doane-Western, a farm management company, predicted a trend toward more absentee ownership and ef­ ficient operation of farms in the United States. The trend now, he said, was toward absentee acquisition of farmland and will increase because so much money is needed to operate a farm ef­ ficiently. "The trend is for outside capital to buy the land and then make a long- term lease with a good operator," Ganschow said. "The local man may own 500 acres of his own and lease 500 acres. We're looking at five and 10- year leases, whereas most were annual." Ganschow predicted that agriculture would be a profitable industry in this near future, even if the near past has not been "In the last days, we've placed more loans than we have in the last 18 months," he said. Ganschow noted that two in­ ternationally-based firms, IBEC and Booker-McConnell, were also vying in the Doane-Western sale. "It is significant that two, large international corporations took a look at the American agricultural industry and said that's where we want to be," Ganschow said. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) taking the law into their hands is justified for a cause they believe in so deeply. But these are hardly the rank and file of objectors working for any reform. As one who feels the need to protect creatures which cannot protect themselves, we have a strong urge to join the movement. We are opposed to using large numbers of animals and would be committed to any action demanding more careful monitoring of their treatment in a program that too often causes extreme suffering and death. _ At the same time we hear the arguments of researchers who say, "It's animals or humans". Like most other movements, perhaps the zeal of those who feel entirely committed to the cause will at least result in more humane methods of treatment. ' Those who work toward a nuclear freeze or improvement of the en­ vironment are equally as sincere in their dedication. We have observed that for some reason, writers seem more sympathetic to their causes. What the reader often gleans is that these are things far more important than the welfare of animals. It's an argument we don't buy. It is the contention of many of us that until man learns a proper respect and concern for these lower forms of life that cannot protect themselves, he will not have a healthy respect for other humans. Preferably, those who fight for chosen causes of any kind will be ruled by calmer heads than those engaged in illegal and dangerous practices to attain their goal. Even then, it is an unpopular role in society, but one that is many times necessary just to make minimum gains. KAF Hold Program At Glacier Park The McHenry County Conservation district invites the public td help celebrate National Wildlife week, March 20-26, by attending a special program Saturday, March 26.
