Mike Sikula speaks with Bill Morning" TV show.
Last Friday some of ycu early risers may have caught the startled ei-pression of yours truly on Ray Rioyner's mominjr show. It was rtfyt my intention of appearing, but some wise guy camera man flasihed his camera on mc.
Mike Sikula and two other Mc¬ Henry County boys and I rode in with Don Barrett to appear an the "Top of the Morning" slhow. While in the WGN studio it is difficult to resLvt the opportunity to sec hew radio and television programs ;u-o broadca-st. In addition to the "Top of the Morning" show, we also saw Ray Rayner's TV show and part of Wally Philip's radio priipram.
Last column I promised more details on this year's Agricultural Update Program at the high school. Agriculture may not be tlie only jndusti-y that changes rapidly, but keeping up with changes is essen¬ tial for those involved. Plans are only partially completed ait this time but so far we have the folloiw- ing Tuesday evening programs skited: Jan. .^0, Louis Bork of Gen¬ eva and Bernsvrd Johnson of Hunt¬ ley will discuss and perhaps "cuss" their experiences with  'Conserva¬ tion Tillage" on their own farms, Feb. 20, John Finch of the Mc- H^Tiry County ASOS offioe wiill attempt to explain '<Now Govern¬ ment Programs," We did not wish to schedule him any earlier be¬ oause the government keeps chang¬ ing its programs. On Feb. 27, Ken Fiske of the McHenry County Con¬ servation District will explain *'How Do   Wc   Keep   McHenry   County's
Mason host of the  WGN "Top of the
LandM in Agriculture." As we round out the program, 1 wiU keep you informed.

In 1972, Il¬ linois farmers planted 36,000 acres, harvested 27,000 acres, yielded 1,- 170 pounds per £*cre, end sold the seeds for $4.30 per hundred vr^tfi^ Nearly all the acreage in Illinois was of the vegetable oil varieties. 'ITie rest was used for K>asting for human consumption and for bird and  pet  foods.
Many experts in the field of grain marketing feel that the experiment in growing sunflowers was a mis¬ take resulting in a misallooaition of resources. The world is not look¬ ing for new gources of vegetable oil but rather a growing source cf protein. The current hi^ price of soybeans seems to bear out tihis belief. Granted, there are inequities in the processing and marketing of soybean meal, but let us not lose sight of tihe fact that here in tihe midwest we have a possible solution n our boybean produobion to a de¬ veloping world's call fw protein. If we do not take full advantage o ftliis situajtion, someone else with a   substitute   product  will,
