University of Illinois surveys show eastern crops pollinated with near perfect conditions while west and northern Illinois report adequate moisture.

Mystery Jane Doe Laid To Rest In De Kalb County Funeral
Three years after a slaying left Jane Doe unidentified, her funeral was held near De Kalb Illinois. Flowers were sent and volunteers sang as local funeral directors donated a coffin. Police believe the victim, white about 19, 5 foot 2, 110 pounds, was shot in 1975 and buried in an unmarked field near Sycamore. A clay-faced reconstruction by Betty Gatliff sparked public interest and hundreds of tips proved unhelpful in identifying her. Sheriff Wilbur Scott urged closure and family reunion if possible.
