Nine Brazilians Visit Farms, McMillen Plant

— ——— r — The McMillen Feed Mills, Kekionga farm, and Carl Amstutz farm were toured yesterday between 10 a. m and 4 p. m. by nine Brazilian farmer-ranchers from the state of Sao Paulo, Bradl. Host of the group, which included the authoress-daughter of the late Louis Bromfield, Mrs. Carson Z Geld, was Jay Go«M. /arm service director of WOWO radio station in Fdrt Wayne. He was accompanied through the county by county agent Leo Seltenright. Mrs. Geld, whose books include “The Jungly One,” has a book entitled “Strangers in the Val-

ley,” to be published by DoddMead in August. The group first visited the Kekionga farm, where they saw a large hoc farm with Landrace hogs, a lean, meat producing animal. Then they went to the south part of the county where they visited the Carl Amstutz farm, and saw a dairy farm in operation. The Afnstutz farm was rebuilt l?st year with the help of Purdue Engineers to include the very latest in dairy farming. . At noon the nine were guests of the Central Soya company at a dinner at Fairway Restaurant.

Tom Allwein, manager of the Decatur plant, welcomed the group to Decatur. Heads of various Soya departments dined with the group. Members of the group were Mr. and Mrs. Jose Homen de Mello - and daughter, Maria Cristina; i Mr. and Mrs. Luiz Baeta Naves ! and daughter, Maria Prates; Pla- - cido Meirelles, and Mr. and Mrs. i Carson Z. Geld. ’ This month's tour for the Bra- ’ zilians grew out of a trip made ’ by Jay Gould a year ago to South ; America. While there he visited the Bromfield ranch and met Mr. ! and Mrs. Geld. He also was t guest of several other Brazilians, and invited them to visit the U. ' S., to see our methods of farming. The major farming activity of the group was coffee raising. The Brazilians, they said, drank a much stronger cup of coffee than The “farm" of the Homen de sells for about 50 cents a pound, the Americans. Coffee in Brazil Mello’s contains 6,000 acres, and about half is devoted to coffee; and half to beef cattle. More than 100 families, called “colones," live on the farm, working the land. These farmers are of European or Asian countries, as the Brazilian Indians live in the interior and do not work on farms. All members of the group spoke English, as that language, German and French are taught in the schools of Brazil as required subjects. Portuguese is their native language. Many of them had traveled in Europe, or gone to school there. They were of the gentleman farmer class, as Brazil has generally just two classes of people, rich and poor. Following lunch, a tour of the Central Soya plant was conducted by Fred Soldner, assistant to the produet standards manager. The Brazilians marveled at the tipping of railroad cars to empty the grain from them. In a briefing room they were shown the entire process necessary for taking the oil from the beans. Soldner explained that McMillen’s produces more than 200 kinds of animal feed from the soy bean meal, while 80 percent of the oil is used for margarine or shortening. McMillen’s now sells in the entire area east of Texas. The weighing department was ! then examined, and the packing I process seen. Many Questions i;

were asked by the group. The Brazilians were quite impressed by the farm industry of soy bean processing, remarking that industrially, Brazil is a long way behind the United States. Expansion of industry or improvement of farm methods there is difficult because of the shortage of capital. The group arrived in uFort Wayne Sunday, and visited the Pine Manor Turkey Farm near Goshen, having dinner with the HEX Grange near Wawaka. They then visited Lake Wawasee. A tour, of the Allen Lomont and George Mclntosh firms in Allen county Monday morning, to see local beef and grain farms, was completed before arrival in Adams county? The Brazilians had dinrtr last night at several farm homes in Alien county, and Tuesday “met the press” In a meeting at radio station WOWO. They will continue to Chicago, then to Lexington, Ky., then to New Orleans, La., and through the south to Miami. Fla., where they wil complete the month's tour of the eastern part of the United States.

Kurt Georg Keisinger, chairman of the Bundestag Foreign Relations Committee, managed to pop up wherever OUenhauer went in this country, although he protected that he was not trying to steal Ollenhauer’s thunder. In addition to OUenhauer, German Foreign Minister Heinrich Von Brentano and Atomic Minister Siegfried Balke have visited here during the. past few months. Visits by President Theodore Heuss and Economic Minister Ludwig Erhardt were planned but had to be postponed.

Red Cross Disaster ' I Reserves Exhausted Officials Worried On Lack Os Funds Washington m — a National Red Cross spokesman said today Red Cross officials were "very concerned" by lack of reserve disager funds to cope with the devastation'caused by the Kansis City torhado. The spokesman said the Red Cross general funds were at the “low level" of seven million dollars and disaster reserves were exhausted. A number of national disaster workers and other Red Cross officials broke away from the National Red Cross convention early this morning to rush to the Kansas City area. Milton Taintor. manager of the Kansas City Red Cross chapter, was among them. The spokesman said disaster workers also probably would be drawn from Atlanta and the Pacific Coast. The Red Cross had reported previously that its funds had reached a "dangerously low level." ' It said during the last two years it had spent a record of 50 million dollars -in coping with disaster relief. SEILING Ejur* °** > chairmaneA by M. C.

Body Os Trapped Miner Recovered Father Os Three Is Victim Os Cave-in LYKENS, Pa. M — The body of David Snyder, 35, father of three who was buried by a mine cave-in for more than three days was found Monday night 400 feet down in a mine shaft. Snyder's body was- found in a gangway tunnel recessed from the main shaft of the mine which he operated with his brother, Leroy, and Mark Sponic. Dauphin County Coroner Dr. S. E. Herrold attributed Snyder’s death to suffocation. He said the victim apparently ducked into a recessed gangway in the main shaft of the slope-type mine to escape an avalanche of coal and slag which fell while he worked in ths mine last Friday morning. 1 Snyder's only means of escape from the niche was blocked by the falling avalanche, and he died when his oxygen gave out, the coroner said. A five-man rescue team, beaded by Leon Richter, of nearby Trevorton, and assisted by scores of volunteers, worked for more than 80 hours to free the trapped man in time. Rescuers gave up all but hope on Friday afternoon when a rumble was heard from within the mine signalling a second cave-ln. But they stubbornly went on with the back-breaking, weary of
