Illinois landowner profits from timber under cooperative marketing
L B Culver University of Illinois extension forester cites a southern Illinois case where an owner refused an $800 offer for 80 acres of standing timber. Cooperative marketing yielded $1,900 from 100000 board feet and leaves 200000 feet standing for future gains, with potential future values of $1500 to $2000 per cut.

LAW ON THE FARM Establishes County Wide Weed Control Department
The 1947 law lets counties replace township weed commissioners with a single county department. A petition by two thirds of townships and 25 legal voters or five percent of voters triggers creation. The weed control commissioner serves two years, earns up to ten dollars per day, and replaces township offices. The county must fund supplies and operations from the general fund and the commissioner will locate noxious weeds, spread control methods, inspect areas, and may use spray equipment on fee basis.

The proposed law sets up a county weed control department with a qualified commissioner and sufficient funds. If established, it could be abolished by county board resolution, reverting noxious weed duties to township commissioners per Illinois Revised Statutes Chapter 188.
