HARVEST TIME IN INDIANA It is now harvest time in Indiana with the soybean crop now more than half harvested, while a good start has been made on the corn. The weather this past season, plus the continued additions of irrigation systems, has led to some bumper crops, especially in corn. This, even though it is what is hoped for, the most one can get out of his acreage, isn’t always a blessing as may be the case this year. There is such a surplus of corn now and with the bumper crops just starting to be harvested, it is forcing an awful lot of storage of corn this year. The price of corn is not anywhere near what the farmer figures he needs to make money on his crop and holding the corn may add further woes to many of the already financetroubled farmers. There tremendous investment isn’t going to show the returns at harvest time they would like and need. Harvest time is always a ‘‘pretty time” in Indiana, with this coming at the time the seasons are changing, the colors are bursting out all over, and a different air results from the two factions. However, harvest time may not be as joyful and appreciated by many farmers this year despite fine yields and a bountiful crop if they are not able to reap the rewards of their crops and toil as need be.

November 11. Drilling for oil near Walkerton took on new life this week when operations for a second well on the Jess Schroeder farm, four miles southeast of Walkerton, were begun. The first well was put down about 300 feet when petroleum gas and some crude oil were discovered. The state department recommended dynamiting the well or ascidizing it to open it up. Believing that another drilling in the same locality might “hit" the right spot, the machinery was moved about 300 feet southeast of the | first hole and operations started on Wednesday. The project is being sponsored by James Short, of Hamlet and C. R. Lonzo, of North Liberty. It is interesting to note that crude oil production in Indiana for the nine month period ending with September has exceeded five million barrels. The Hoosier Home Front is widening almost day by day. Any housewife who has been on a shopping tour lately can testify that consumer goods are very hard to come by. This will become worse until conditions bordering on genuine hardship will be reached perhaps as early as next year. That’s the way war is. Rationing of fuel oil and kerosene has affected one million Hoosiers as well as coffee. Also the “share-the-meat" ration, two and one-half pound per person per week is in effect. VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Polk Township Fire Department Still On Slow Bum According to the article in the South Bend Tribune. October 5, i 1982, referring to “Barn Owner Burns At Late Firemen”, the Polk

Township Trustee-Assessor, also has a slow burn. A fire by anyone regardless of the situation, concerns both the Polk Township Trustee and Advisory Board. We believe we have an outstanding group of firemen and the equipment capable of handling all Polk Township fires. On occasion we call for, and receive mutual aide from other departments, and likewise we also respond to all mutual aide requests. We were not surprised when Mr. Joseph Synder did not call Polk Township, as he had told the writer and several Polk Township firemen, in the event he had a fire, he would not make a toll call to call Polk Township Volunteer Fire Department. but would call Walkerton toll free. I guess the lack of a toll call cost Mr. Snyder 30 years of his work, and as for the SIOO,OOO inventory loss. I as Polk Township TrusteeAssessor have not yet checked out. Another question has arisen from Walkerton Tow n Board president. Mr. Jack Rizek, stating he had tried to sell Polk Township their communication system. What good could they do for Polk? We in Polk Tow nship have a very satisfactory communications system. The only thing we need from Walkerton. is to call our fire number, which they have in front of their switchboard for all radio people to use. Although, now 1 understand one person controls the toll charges, of w hich 1 cannot understand. If the toll charges are a problem for Walkerton, the people with Walkerton phones can rest assured Polk Township will gladly pay for any fire toll calls. Clark H.
