WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) Bankers anticipate fewer farm borrowers will encounter serious financial problems this year than during the last three years, a recent Purdue University survey says. The agricultural bankers estimated that from 1981 through 1983, 2.6 percent of their borrowers were forced to liquidate part or all of their assets each year because they failed to meet financial obligations. They expect that figure to slip

to 2.3 percent this year and drop to 1.75 percent in 1985, say Purdue extension economists F.L. Barnard and J.H. Atkinson, who specialize in farm financing. While repayments are much better than a year ago, the bankers see interest rates beginning to climb after dropping significantly. The average current farm operating loan interest rate is 13.6 percent. For farm real estate, it is 13.5 percent, and for farm machinery, 13.9 percent.

“The report was written up and buried somewhere in the files,” Ladisch said. “The USDA did really outstanding work in the area.” It took another crisis, this time the Arab oil embargo of 1974, before the Peoria Process was rediscovered. Ladisch says the Purdue laboratory, under the direction of chemical engineer George Tsao, contributed two things to the USDA research. First was a means of scaling up the laboratory dimensions of the Peoria Process. The second was the discovery that a common enzyme can be added to cornstalks to help break the cellulose into simple sugars. However, a federal researcher on the Muscle Shoals project says the enzyme research is not being incorporated into the experimental plant, although other aspects of the Purdue work are. “They have made some improvements in the Peoria Process,” said Phil Badger, project leader in the TVA’s Office of Agriculture and Chemicals. The Muscle Shoals ethanol plant is contained in a 60- by 80-foot building. Badger said future technology could double ethanol production per acre of corn, but his goal is not that high. “We’ll probably get 60 to 70 percent more alcohol per ton of corn plants,” Badger said. Project funds are being provided by the Department of Energy. _ _
'Cathedral' among books ready for adoption at library
Ready for adoption now at the Putnam County Public Library is “Cathedral,” a book of short stories by Raymond Carver. “Cathedral” was named one of the 13 best books of 1983 by the New York Times Book Review. Another “best book,” Alice Munro’s “The Moons of Jupiter,” was adopted last spring by Marnie Glausser. “CATHEDRAL” AND “The Moons of Jupiter” are two of the many quality books featured in the library’s adopt-a-book program begun in June, 1982. Based on a suggestion by library patron Harold Ly Jick, the program has netted $1,416 in contributions, through the adoption of 126 books. This is how adopt-a-book works. You choose a book from among 4-8 titles available for adoptioh and pay only the discounted price. You can be the first person to read the book, and a special nameplate inside the book will commemorate your adoption. People have adopted books for many occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries, the selling of a house, or a new job. If you want to adopt a certain book not currently available for adoption, recommendations can be made to the librarians. Books are critically needed at the library. So celebrate and adopt a book now. Current books for adoption are: “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver ($8.61); “The Courts of Illusion” by Rosemary Hawley Jarman ($10.61); “Holy Wars” by James Brady ($10); “Days of Vengeance” by Harry Mark Petrakis ($9.64); “Hell’s Bells” by Cindy Packard ($10.93); and “A Difference of Design” by W.M. Spackman ($6.74). FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF books adopted in recent months: Berriault, Gina. “Infinite Passion of Expectation.” Adopted by Eileen Burkett.

The project’s purpose is to verify that the process works, to test materials and handling procedures, and to make the process economically feasible on a large scale, Badger said. Ladisch said he considers it a compliment that the TVA chose Purdue’s developments for their new plant. He also points out that turning cornstalks into ethanol is an exciting development but is “clearly not economic” at present. Some drawbacks to the idea recently were outlined in a report by the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology, of which Ladisch is a member. The report pointed out that the cost of transporting bulky cornstalks to ethanol production sites may be prohibitive. “Second, the effects on many soils would be unfavorable because the residues are needed on sloping cropland to help control erosion," the report states. Ladisch is also working on a process to turn low-grade ethanol into high-grade ethanol using corn grits. The corn grits absorb water in the lowgrade alcohol. Once the water is removed, the ethanol can be added directly to gasoline. Badger said he is considering adding the corn grits technology to the Muscle Shoals plant later on.

Dear Abby Parents should give newlyweds the boot DEAR ABBY: Our 18-year-old son got married without our permission. He didn’t have a job and neither did the girl he married. She’s 19 and very lazy. They lay around our house for a couple of weeks, eating, listening to music and watching television. Neither one of them went out to look for work. My husband finally told them they would have to get out because they were getting on our nerves, so our son went down and joined the Marines. He was ordered to go to boot camp, so I asked him where his wife was going to stay and he said, “With you, Ma.” I couldn’t kick her out and she couldn’t go to her own mother’s because they had kicked her out for marrying our son. We put up with her for three weeks, then our son was sent back from the Marines. They said he wasn’t Marine material, whatever that means. Now we have the two of them lying around eating, listening to music and watching television all day. My husband is fed up and so am I. What should we do? I hate to be cruel. BALTIMORE MOTHER DEAR MOTHER: If you continue to give them bread and board, they will not be motivated to earn their own. Sometimes we have to be cruel to be kind. Let them paddle their own canoe. * * * DEAR ABBY: You told a reader that in America one summons a waiter by first catching his eye, then raising his hand with one finger pointing heavenward, and if necessary calling, “Waiter.” Abby, please specify which finger. I used the wrong finger once and got a lap full of lasagna—hot! CHARLIE SCHWARTZ DEAR CHARLIE: The index finger. * * * DEAR ABBY: As a young man just starting out in my profession, I now receive many telephone calls and letters from others in my profession whom I have never met. Because these people are total strangers, I always address them as Mr., Miss or Mrs.—using their surnames. I am astonished that they call me “Daniel” immediately. Some even go so far as to call me “Dan” or “Danny.” I think I deserve more respect and I deeply resent this uncalled-for familiarity. I don’t know how to confront these presumptuous strangers and demand to be called “Mister” without sounding offensive, so I say nothing. All my friends and associates to whom I’ve mentioned this tell me I’d be foolish to even mention it because that’s the way people are nowadays. They say that to demand that business acquaintances call me “Mister” would put a strain on our professional relationship. What do you think? WITHHOLD MY SURNAME DEAR WITHHOLD: I agree with your friends and associates. There is no way you can demand to be called “Mister” without coming across as arrogant, pretentious and self-important. Most young professionals just starting out would be grateful to be called anything, as long as they’re called. * * * (Getting married?

A teleconference featuring a look at price prosects for farm products and the spring weather outlook will be held 7:30-10 p.m. Tuesday, April 10 at the Vigo County Extension Office, Putnam County Extension Agent Mark Legan has announced. Purdue agricultural economists participating in the outlook presentation will be Paul Farris, Bill Uhrig, Chris Hurt, Jon Brandt, David Petritz and Steve Erickson. James Newman, Purdue climatologistagronomist, will provide information on weather and moisture conditions. FARRIS WILL discuss the general economic outlook, inflation and interest rates, while Uhrig will provide prospects for grain prices in light of small supplies, the sign-up programs and crop intentions. Hurt is scheduled to review production and marketing strategies. Brandt will look at profit prospects for hog producers, given the sharp production cutbacks indicated. Petritz will focus on prospects for cattle feeders and cow-calf producers, including the purchase of calves for summer grazing programs. Erickson, meanwhile, is slated to review agricultural options and point out how farmers might use them to reduce the risk of adverse price changes.
