I , Consider options of longer farm lease SECTION t .FACE 11 • PLA1NDEAIXR- WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER U, IMS Moat tnfamif farm are terms. Crop-share leases are usually written for one year with an automatic renewal for following years if legal notice to terminate is not given by either the landlord or the tenant. Such notice must be given four months before the end of the term. This means that for leases running from March 1 to Feb. 28, notice must be given prior to Nov. 1. These arrangements have worked well over the past several years, primarily because the length of tenure for most crop-^iare leases is fairly long. Often a farmer has been wnHng a fan* for most of his me. In contrast, most cash Iff are written to terminate in one year and must/be renogotiated esch year, except in cases where there is a ^wiiff which automatically adjusts the amount of cash rent to be paid. Since most producers today have a substantial investment in equipment and machinery, longer-term leases would reduce •ome of the risks faced by fcnants. In addition, they would lend greater stability to the farmland rental market, as well as rural communities. A farmer who is renting a new piece of land would not be out of line to request an initial lease of three years. This would allow the tenant time to better1 demonstrate his actual production capabilities and plan his machinery purchases based upon financial terms and cash flow projections. ; Landlords would also benefit from longer-term leases as such leases would provide incentives for tenants to take more interest in the farm and its long-term development. A tenant may, for example, be more apt to implement soil erosion control techniques if he were to feel he would be able to benefit in future years from these methods. A disadvantage to longer-term leases is that dissatisfied landlords and tenants may have difficulty terminating the a g r e e m e n t . A n o t h e r consideration would be that leases of this type could create problems for a landlord's heirs should the landlord die. The advantages of longer-term leases to both landlords and tenants, however, appear to outweigh these potential problems.

Marines begin annual Toys for Tots drive Preparations for the thirty- sixth annual Toys For Tots drive ha ve been thrown into high gear, following an organizational meeting at the Marine Coips Reserve Center, Waukegan. In an effort to meet the demand for toys for needy children, the drive has been extended this year to six weeks. Toys will be distributed to one of five distribution points. Capt. David Winn of the U.S. Marine Corps introduced key members of Toys For Tots present for the organizational meeting. Winn noted that because of Department of Defense crackdowns on use of military equipment and manpower for such projects, more of the work would probably be done by Marine Reservists this year. Last year, said Winn, die local effort collected over 66,000 toys, »strong support once This year the goal is jain 65,000 toys. of our requests for toys, that I'm aware of, were fulfilled," said Winn. Winn noted that any infant to 13, can For ivered in conjunction with an annual Christman Winn stressed the rl '"font 10 13, through Toys Tots. Toys are usually deni Corps couldn't do this without the help of the civilian community." Winn noted that some collection points have been eliminated or combined year in an effort to reduce the amount of time needed to pick up the toys. For instance, the number of dropoff points at Great Lakes Naval Base will probably be cut to only 10 this year, said Winn, noting a military and civilian from toe base in the pi Bicycles collected by the police at Great Lakes and unclaimed are once again being repaired and repainted by the Waukegan Aault Seniors program members of which are also repairing other large toys in need of attention.

Organizers stressed that the ay drive serves needy children all aaes. "Sometimes people automatically think of children ages six to 10, so there is a need to fill in the gaps and provide toys for infants and toddlers and those ages 10 to 13," said Winn, in support of Toys For more information on the Toys For Tots program should call the Marine Reserve Center, Waukegan, at (312) 244-5517 or (312) 623-7447.
