Auditing Employee 

 Retires Under lAA 

 Pension Program 



I NOTHER beneficiary under the lAA 

 /I employee pension plan will be Fred 

 il Foulds of Illinois Agricultural Audit- 

 ing Association. He retired May 31. 



Employed by Auditing since 1935, 

 Foulds' interesting history and personali- 

 ty have won him scores of friends 

 throughout Illinois. 



For some time after coming to Audit- 

 ing, Foulds worked as a field auditor 

 from the Chicago office. Later he served 

 for one year as the district auditor in 

 Bloomington, and in recent years as 

 Peoria district auditor. 



During his lAA career, Foulds has 

 audited various accounts in 67 counties 

 and in half of the Farm Bureau offices. 



It is interesting to note that the first 

 job held by Foulds was one at a coopera- 

 tive in England and that he has com- 

 pleted his business career by serving 

 Illinois cooperatives for a period of ap- 

 proximately 15 years. 



Foulds will spend the-- summer with 

 friends in Winnipeg. Beyond that he 

 has no specific plans for his retirement. 



Armand LeMay of the Springfield 

 district office has been transferred to 

 Peoria as district auditor for that dis- 

 trict. 



down your total feed costs. These good 

 pastures, carrying 20 pigs per acre, can 

 save you around 900 pounds of protein 

 supplement and put about $50 more 

 profit in your pocket. 



Good Hog Pasture 

 Is Worth $50 Acre 



GOOD hog pasture is worth about 

 $50 an acre because it saves that 

 much money in feed costs. 



J. L. Krider, animal scientist in the 

 Illinois College of Agriculture, says 

 that, compared with dry-lot feeding, 

 one acre of good hog pasture will save 

 almost 900 pounds of protein supple- 

 ment. At present prices that 900 

 pounds of supplement is worth around 

 $50. 



Krider points out that with good 

 pastures you can save half the protein 

 supplement needed to fatten hogs, and 

 you have no vitamin problem — they're 

 all provided by the pasture and sun- 

 light. Pasture also provides some of 

 the minerals, and you can save about 

 4 percent on your total feed bill. You 

 can also save one-third of your labor 

 by using good hog pastures. 



Krider reports that any good green 

 pasture will give you these advantages.

 bromegrass, clover .... any of these 

 which is suited to your land will cut

petition for the small supply of milk 

 would send prices soaring. And the peo- 

 ple who needed milk most would suffer. 



Charles Cameron, president of the 

 Peoria Milk Producers' Association told 

 members of the committee that the dairy 

 farmer has an investment to protect. 

 An investment bigger than the whole 

 steel industry. Altogether more than 

 10,000,000 people depend on the dairy 

 industry for a livelihood, Cameron said. 

 Dairy farmers will not sit idly by and see 

 their investment jeopardized by unfair 

 competition from colored margarine. 

 By allowing this unfair competition we 

 also run the risk of having racketeers 

 sell oleomargarine under a butter label. 



Those who spoke in favor of repealing 

 the law prohibiting the sale of yellow 

 margarine stressed that it was made from 

 an Illinois product, soybean oil, and 

 that this oil is in distress. The price 

 has decreased from a high of 21 cents 

 to 101/2 cents per pound today. One- 

 third of the nation's soybeans are grown 

 in Illinois. 



Four women representing civic organi- 

 zations said the consumer wanted yellow 

 margarine, that its nutritional value was 

 as high as butter, and that low income 

 groups must buy it because of the higher 

 price of butter. 



C. B. Simcox of Assumption, who 

 said he represented 1000 soybean grow- 

 ers said butter itself is colored 10 months 

 out of the year.

procedure and assist you with applica- 

 tions, etc; (6) The community selects the 

 architect who develops the blueprints in 

 line with the community needs; (7) The 

 State Department of Public Health works 

 with the architect and the organization to 

 make certain that the plans meet the re- 

 quirements of the federal government 

 as to construction standards. Plans also 

 must be approved by the U. S. Public 

 Health Service; (8) The community must 

 by voluntary subscription, raise funds to 

 meet the local share of the cost of the 

 hospital; (9) Construction of the hospital 

 will be under the supervision of the 

 owner's inspector; and (10) When com- 

 pleted, the hospital will be owned by the 

 community and will be operated by the 

 community without discrimination. It 

 will be just as if you paid for it entirely 



with your own money. It is required, 

 however, that minimum standards of 

 maintenance and operation be developed 

 by the State Department of Public Health 

 and that hospitals constructed with fed- 

 eral funds meet those standards. This 

 provides protection for the people ad- 

 mitted as patients. 



The 65th Illinois General Assembly in 

 1947 appropriated some state money to 

 aid in hospital construction similar to 

 the money from the' Hill-Burton program. 

 Under this state program it was then 

 possible for communities such as Jackson- 

 ville to receive both state and federal 

 funds provided total government money 

 did not exceed two-thirds of the total 

 cost of the hospital. While the federal 

 program is established to continue for 

 three more years, the continuation of state 

 money is entirely dependent upon an ap- 

 propriation made by the 66th General 

 Assembly now in session in Springfield. 



"This program is not operated on a 

 first come, first served basis." Says 

 George K. Hendrix, chief division of hos- 

 pital construction and services Illinois De- 

 partment of Public Health. "Neither is 

 it a political program where the loudest 

 is heard first. It is a program designed 

 to aid in the construction of hospitals in 

 areas having the greatest need and fol- 

 lowing a sound state plan which has been 

 approved by the surgeon general of the 

 U. S. Public Health Service. 



"This program then encourages the 

 building of hospitals of appropriate size, 

 so located that they are within reasonable 

 reach of all farm people. The relatively 

 small amount of government money pre- 

 vents the construction of a hospital at 

 every cross-road or every small town, 

 but, it is the aim to provide adequate 

 and safe facilities primarily for the rural 

 people."

 shortage of plant foods, Illinois Farm 

 Supply Company, in order to secure sup- 

 plies, has been forced to purchase and 

 ship tonnage from points as far distant 

 as the east coast. 



In addition, a close watch can be main- 

 tained on quality. Also, grades which 

 are of the higher-analysis type can be 

 made available to farmers. This means 

 greater value received for every dollar 

 spent.
