hours and its decision would not be made known until late this afternoon. “I have nothing to say at the moment.” Beaman said shortly before the meeting. "I will give i the members my report and let’ them mak? h decision. Right at the moment, they know very little about the situation." i Gov .-elect Matthew E. Welsh 'and State School Supt. William E. i Wilson were the only Democrats ; to win on the 13-race state ticket last week. Huge Democratic ma- ; jorities in Lake County accounted for their narrow victories. Savings Bond Sales Increase In County j T. F. GRALIKER, chairman of I the Adams county U. S. savings bonds committee, has received a report showing that the county’s ■ bond sales for October were $68,i 051.00 compared with $50,798.84 for f the corresponding month of last | year. State sales were 510,519.717 and $11,395,469 for October of 1959 —a loss of 7.7 per cent. Forty-six or half of the state’s ninety-two counties, reported sales ' increases for the month over the like period of last year. The re- ’ i duction in sales to a great extent ! resulted from the failure of ten in- • dustrial communities to reach last year's sales totals.

(UPD—Crop experts said today that about 65 per cent of the Indiana corn has been harvested and that winter wheat sown the last few weeks is responding nicely to showers. Robert E. Straszheim, agriculture statistician at Purdue, said the corn harvest progressed slowly because of high humidity and low temperatures," Straszheim reported. “The wettest corn is in the northern third of Indiana where average moisture is reported at about 24 per cent and somewhat higher in the late corn planted area arOund Fort Wayne.” “In central Indiana, moisture is reported at about 20 per cent and at 19 in the southern third. More than the usual amount of corn is being dried artificially this year,” the report said. “In the northern third of Indilana, where drying is most prevalent, 12 to 15 per cent is being dried. At the close of last week for the state as a whole, about 65 per cent of the corn had been harvested, while in the northern ! third only 40 per cent had been harvested. This is somewhat slower harvest than usual although actual survey data for years this late in the season are not available.” “Wheat is progressing nicely as a result of the showers, and more than 90 per cent has now come up. Pastures are also responding to showers, and the condition is now reported higher than anytime since the first of September.”

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17,1960 -—,— — :

—• : Stockholders Os Central Soya Meet

The new experimental farm put in operation by Central Soya just north of Decatur, greatly enlarging the feed research program, has strengthened the local company's ability to evaluate its feed, and determine the effects of the feeder on its performance, Dale W. McMillen, Jr., president of Central Soya, told more than 400 stockholders from nine states at the annual meeting in Fort Wayne Wednesday. Decatur Men Reelected Two Decatur residents, Norman F. Kruse and Burt A. Townsend, were reelected as vice-presidents. Harold W. McMillen, board chairman, outlined the company’s new corporate identification system and mark, which he said will help Central Soya to “present a forceful, meaningful and clear picture of our company . . and its operating divisions .. to our many interested publics.” He described the new corporate mark as symbolic of growth . . . “Growth in size, stature, and service to agriculture and mankind.” McMillen said the mark will be used on stationery, business forms, packages, advertising and promotion pieces, signs and transportation, and employe service awards. He pointed out that implementation of the program will be carried out over a period of time as present inventories are used, so as te avoid large changeover costs.

, .The chairman reviewed last year’s financial picture, including the decrease in earnings. Net earnings last year amounted to $1.50 per share, compared to $2 46 in the previous year (based on the same number of shares). He attributed the decline to adverse agricultural economic conditions. Expansion Cited Central Soya president, Dale W. McMillen, Jr., reported on production, distribution and research activities. He cited several major expansion projects undertaken by the company last year as, “concrete evidence of our belief that brief declines such as that which occurred last year in our agricultural economy are only of temporary significance.” “The major portions of our capital expenditures for last year went toward the new isolated protein plant at Chicago, the two-million-bushel storage project at Chattanooga, and the bulk and sacked feed warehousing and loading out facilities at Marion, Ohio, and Madison, Wisconsin,” the president said. In the area of research, he reported that “large expenditures were invested this past fiscal year in the development of new products and processes for agriculture and industry.” Also, new experimental units on the expanded McMillen feed research farm near Decatur, Ind., “have strengthened our ability to evaluate Master Mix feeds and to determine the effect of management practices on their performance.” Markets Sought Looking to the current year, McMillen said, “continuing efforts are being made to further establish Central Soya in foreign soybean meal and oil markets. Products from our chemurgy division are receiving greater market acceptance, prospects for our feed division are brighter, and there are indications that margins for both processing and grain merchandising are showing some improvement.” At the start of the meeting, shareholders viewed the company’s institutional movie, "Tomorrow’s Foodpower,” which portrays the importance at protein food production and the contributions made by the soybean processing, feed and grain industries.
