F.F.A. News
At the last meeting of the Huntley Chapter of the Future Farmers of America, members elected Arthur "Happy" Kahl as the new chapter secretary. Also, junior officers were elected: Mike Ashbaugh, Dale Bein, Fred Hoff¬ man, Bob Eubash and Paul Yurs.
The results of the 15.t^re plot showed that the corn rflbed by minimum tillage yielded'near- Ir « JbuaMs ]Mttef...than that planted conventionally. The com was picked on December l^^nd it had an average moisture A 31 per cent. This was becau8«r the com was not planted until June 2.
The average yield of the crop was 69 bushels per acre. The total expense of raising the com was $868.98. The amount received for the com was $1060.49, meaning that a price of 98 %c was received for each bushel.
The average cost per acre to produce the com was $64.77. This waa broken into $16.76 for ma¬ chine hire and labor, $28.30 for fertilizer, insecticides and seed, (The reason for this high amount is because of the extensive nitro¬ gen applied), an J $10.00 an acre for rent. This gave us a net in¬ come per acre of $13.64.
The money received from the hay grown was 250.00, giving the chapter a total net income of $461.51 off the 26 acre plot.

Basketball Statistics
By  Dave  Trumbo
The Huntley Varsity owns a record of 14 wins against 2 set- , backs as they won three contests last week. The first of these vic¬ tories was last Tuesday against Hinckley. This game was not a very gratifying win for the Red¬ skins as they played a very spotty game. However, they were able to outlast their opponents and pull the victory out.
On Friday evening the Redskins after a rather tough week of practice, played one of their best games of the year as they troun¬ ced Malte 77 to 67. A very good reserve roll was again turned in by Gene Ackman as he came off the bench and dropped in 12 points.
On Saturday evening Huntley won their 3rd game of the week defeating North Boone of the Shark Conference 63 to 61.
The future of the Redskins looks more optimistic after last weeks games. They proved that they can battle tough competition and look very impresive. Up until last week the Redskins had not played any real competition. However, the real test will come this Friday when the Redskins CONTINUBD ON PAGB SIX

The regular meeting of the Huntley Village Board was held hn Thursday, January 6, at the Village Hall. All members of the Board were present with the ex¬ ception of Leonard Ackman.
The Board discussed a lot own¬ ed   by  Charles   Lazansky   under which the sewer runs. Mr. Lasan- '   sky seeks a permit to build  on ;  this lot. The Village   Bosrd   has ' turned   the   matter over   to   the ; village engineering firm of Bax¬ ter & Woodman and village attor- i ney Henry Cowlin to investigpste ) and draw up an agreement with :¦ Mr.  Lwansky.
A lot owned by George Ham¬ mon under which a tile runs was
; also discussed at the Board meet¬ ing. This lot OS located next to
; Heine's Tap between Main and CcH-al   Streete.   An   investigation
> of this lot will also be made by
' the  engineering  Arm   of   Baxter
i & Woodman.

Baxter & Woodman presented ; the Board with a plan for a storm , sewer to be constructed north ¦ from Borden Street. This storm . sewer wonld ht) constructed to ; carry   off  excete_ surface^ water
Co.'s parking lot. It was estima-
, ted that if a diteh were dub from
Borden to Fourth Street, the sew-
. er    would     cost    approximately
$6900. If a storm tile were dug
¦ in the ground from these pointe,
!the cost would be  $8900. An 18-
'inch   storm tile  would   be   used,
going north  from   4th  St.   If  a
diteh were  constructed  the   only
inlet  to  the sewer  would be at
Uth St.
Members of the Board asked the engineering firm tf it woud he possible to mn a sewer south connecting to the one at the cor¬ ner of Main St. and Route 47. The engineer said thie would be expensive as the tile would have to cross under the Chicago North¬ western railroad tracks. The l>oard turned this matter over to the engineering firm to investi¬ gate  this last possibility.
The Village Board instmcted the engineering firm of Baxter and Woodman to advertise for bids to constmct a cateh basin at the northeast comer of the Algonquin blacktop and Chureh Street. Since the blacktop road is a country road, county approval must be had to break the black¬ top. The cateh basin and approx^ mately 46 feet of pipe would con¬ nect to Uie existing storm aewer. Baxter and Woodman steted that the smoke machine will be avil- able to the viUage after. Tuesday January 11, stating that it had been out of their office for the past two months. The smoke ma¬ chine will be used by the viUage engineers to determine if any rain or surface-water is running from residences and boainesaes into the sanitary sewer. The machine will be monnted on the back of a ste¬ tion wa^n and wiU go from man¬ hole to manhole. A smoke bomb will be thrown down iMo tirt manhole, after which the macbiiw will blow the amoke thiwiigfa th* sanitaiy sewer. SmokA should come out of sanitary vento atop each house, and any dewnapont which happena to be coaaected to
the sanitery sewer. The negineers steted at the meeting that if .any smoke came into buildings liird- ugh drains, the property owner should contect a plumer at once. At previous meetings the board members and engineers had |t8t- ed the reason for a backup of water at Church Street, causing basement flooding and other dam¬ age was due to surface water drains he connected to the sani¬ tery sewer. The removal of such drains should eUminate this ptob- lem.
Mr. Robert Schachtoer of Grove Street was present to inquire con¬ cerning the cost to residente of the new water main installed on Grove Street south of MiU. After discussion the Village Board de¬ termined they woul pay 1/3 of the cost, the balance to be divided 6 ways: each resident woul dpay $300.00, with Mr. Leonard Ack¬ man who has two taps of^ cme line paying $425.00.
The Board announced that Hr..   .." Larry Potte is the new croaaUaf^ *¦ guard at Mill Street and Route if. . Mayor Wilpault Brill stated i^.,,, the  Board   that   motor  foel   tiaC'l money could  he uaetii^ erect it signal   light   which   Wuld   stop, traffic on Route 47, when children ¦ -.ifiitat.a,lM»tt»ltU» umia iHm aiiti \ nti was taken on this matter, how¬ ever. ,^
