and destroyed 12 homes. The blaze broke out Saturday in the Cleveland National Forest. Tricky winds, which reached gusts of 100 miles an hour Sunday, have made fire f i g h t i n g operations touch and go?’ the Forest Service said. Four ranch homes were destroyed and eight homes burned on two Indian reservations. The fire was believed to have started on the Inaja Indian Reservation when an electrical appliance in a home shorted out. More than 100 persons were evacuated from the Barona Indian Reservation Saturday night. Most of the fire area is in rugged terrain near the El Capitan Reservoir. Smoke from the blaze has drifted as far south as San Diego Craig Fires School Fund Group Member Appoints Proxy To Expedite Meeting INDIANAPOLIS (UP'—Governor Craig today fired a member of the Indiana Common School Fund Commission and appointed his proxy on the spot to expedite a commission meeting bogged down for lack of a quorum. » Dr. Marion McGhehey, an Indiana University professor, attended the commission’s meeting in Craig’s offfice. as a representative of Dr. Wendell W. Wright, another I.U. professor, a regular member of the commission. But the commission could not do business because only five ap; pointed members were present and a quorum is six. _ Craig named McGhehey to replace Wright, and the commission went ahead with its business of considering requests for nearly five million dollars worth of loans from local school corporations to construct school buildings. The commission buys bonds issued by local school corporations after they have exhausted all other possibilities for financing construction programs. The requests which were scheduled for possible consideration were frorq Lawrenceburg School Building Corp., $895,000; Springi field Twp. (Allen Co.', $565,000; Argos Common School Building Corp. (Marshall Co.), $670,000: Hobart City Schools (Lake Co.), $1,580,000, and Connersville School Building Corp., $1,050,000. The Springfield Twp. case came up first. Craig did not favor buying that unit’s bonds. “This fund,” he said, “is only designed for poor communities. Your community does not fall into that category.” Neverthless, the commission approved the request at a 314 per cent rate. Trade in a Good-Town — Decatuz

■ w .rireoM* ■ V-”'-’ I t ■<■■■■— Foresees Increase In Operating Farms Ag Department Sees Higher 1957 Costs WASHINGTON (UP'—The Agriculture Department said today the cost of operating a farm and producing a crop next year will average “somewhat higher” than in 1956. The department, in its publication, “The Farm Cost Situation," gave this outlook for 1957: R “Farm property taxes per acre, interest rates, farm wage rates, and prices paid for farm machinery, motor vehicles, and motor supplies are expected to be moderately higher. "Farm real estate values, and prices paid for building and fencing materials, farm supplies, feed, feeder livestock, and seed are expected to be about the same or slightly higher. “The price of fertilizer is expected to average slightly lower per ton of plant nutrients but slightly higher per ton of gross weight.” The department said as of midOctober this year, the farm cost index was 3 per cent higher than last year. The index included interest, taxes and wage rates. Prices for all items comprising the index, except fertilizer, feeder livestock and seed, have increased since a year ago, and most of the increases have taken place recently, the department said. Next year, the department said.

the rural labor supply and farm wage rates will continue to be influenced by non-farm employment opportunities. The expanded highway construction program, for example, may decrease the supply for farms. The cost of farm machinery is expected to rise slightly, the department said. Prices of feed, feeder livestock, and seed will tend to fluctuate with prices of farm products in general, the department said. The department predicted a continued rise in farm real estate prices. It said the trend toward targer J»ut fewer farms will go on.
