Report Is Issued On Indiana's Corn Crop
LAFAYETTE UPI — Agricultural experts reported today that Indiana's corn crop is nearly all in or past the dough stage of development and 20 per cent of it has matured. The maturing rate is about equal to this time last year and the five-year average for the first week of September, according to Robert E. Straszheim, agricultural statistician at Purdue. Straszheim also said in his weekly crop report that nearly 20 per cent of the soybean crop has begun to shed leaves, well behind the 40 per cent a year ago. "Approximately half of the land intended for wheat has been plowed.” the report said. "This compares with progress
of both a year earlier and average of 45 per cent. “The seeding of rye and barley is progressing at about the same rate as both last year and usual. Over 10 per cent of the rye and 5 per cent of the barley has been seeded.” Soil moisture supplies again showed increases, continuing the upward trend which began five weeks ago. “Topsoil moisture is now rated fully adequate with surpluses reported in a few localities.” the report said. “A few localitites still report subsoil ! moisture as short, but ratings of adequate are reported in nearly all other areas. This is in contrast to the drought conditions prevailing this time last year.”
On The Farm Front WASHINGTON UPI — The •value of all farm assets in the United States increased to a record $237.6 billion as of Jan., 1, a hike of $8.7 billion from aj year earlier, the Agriculture Department reportde today in its annual balance sheet of agritulture. In addition to the 3.7 per cent increase in the value of farm assets, the value of owners’; equities went up, cash receipt*' from farm marketings and gov- ! emment payments combined were higher, and farm debts reached a record high. Total farm debt added up to $37.5 billion, up $2.6 billion, or 7.6 per cent, from a year earlier, i The total debts, exclusive of $1.5 billion in Commodity Credit Corp. loans, were equal to j 15.2 per cent of the value of | farm assets. The farm debt* represented $18.9 billion in farm mortgages, and $18.6 billion in non-real estate debts. The farm mortgage debt was np a record $2.1 billion, or 12.5 per cent from a year earlier. The assets minus the total debt left the equity of farm operators and other owners of farm property at $200.1 billion. •nils is $6.1 billion, or S per eent, more than a year earlier. In 1940, the equity was $42.9 Pillion. The balance sheet showed that in 1964. as in other recent years, rising prices of farm real estate resulting from the strong demand for farmland were primarily responsible for the increase in value of farm assets and famw equities. The value of farm real estate rose $8.7 billions, or 5.8 per cent, in 1964 to a whopping total of of $159.4 billion. This was 111.8 per cent greater than the value of farm real estate in 1950.
6 LBJ Steers Have Vanished MOUNT CARMEL. HI. UPI — Six steers bought from President Johnson’s LBJ Ranch for Mount Carmel’s 150th anniversary celebration are missing from the fattening pen here. John Hurlbut ,a member of the steering committee for the celebration, said, “We don’t know whether it’e a prank or whether someone stole them. We are not ruling out anything. We have called in the police.” The disappearance of the Hereford steers was discovered Thursday night by Hurlbut and Eugene Powers, general chairman of the celebration. “The steers would be hard to get rid of,” said Hurlbut. “They have the LBJ brand plastered on both sides of their rumps and getting rid of them would be like trying to get rid of the Hope diamond.” The celebration committee made a trip to the LBJ Ranch over the July 4 weekend and bought the steers for about $1,100.
Directive Aimed At Loan Sharks WASHINGTON UPI — The Defense Department moved Thursday to pull the teeth of loan sharks and encourage credit unions at domestic military bases. A new directive by Deputy Defense Secretary Cyrus Vance orders that each military installation, where feasible, will provide accommodations without charge for one credit union. The state purposes are to eni courage “reasonable rates of ' interest” and to combat "usury ;or the patronage of lenders.” The action follows congressional hearings disclosing that loan sharks had charged shorttermed interest raltes adding up to as much as 50 per cent a year for loans to servicemen at some military bases. The directive does not apply to overseas bases. It was made effective in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Panama Canal Zone.

SAIGON UPI — American blood and sweat are turning the tide of war for the better in South Viet Nam. That is the good news. The bad news is the mounting cost in American lives and the likelihood that before the job i* done American manpower in South Viet Nam may go considerably beyond the 125,000 already promised by President Johnson. This is a war that never has gone according to plan, not since 1954 when the United States began realizing the dedetermination of the Communist attack. It i« not going according to plan now. Back in February when American fighter-bomb-ers began carrying the war to North Viet Nam, it was with the thought that such action would make the Communist North more agreeable to the conference table. So far it has not But important changes have taken place, both militarily and politically. Militarily, despite initial success, the Viet Cong moonsoon offensive has been a failure. They have not mounted a regimental - size attack since midAugust when they overran the district capital of Dak Sut in the central highlands north of Kontum, some 200 miles north of Saigon. Instead they have been under the mounting pressure of attack from United States and South Vietnamese forces. The change was gradual and outwardly not especially spectacular. But the South Vietnamese no longer talked of defeat. And the Viet Cong, who had boasted confidently of victory in 1965, were forced to reassess their strategy. Te guessing was that the Viet Cong, deprived of any chance to smash South Viet Nam militarily, now would abandon Phase m of their at-
tack and fall back on Phase II. Phase HI had see them attack in organized units up to three regiments. Phase H would see their return to guerrilla warfare and political infiltration. Top Americans in South Viet Nam also were reassessing strategy. U. S. Marines had come under severe South Vietnamese criticism for the burning and mass destruction of villagers’ homes in areas of suspected VC concentration. In Gen. William C. Westmoreland’s Military Assistance Command, psychological warfare experts were being assigned to each major military unit. Their job — to advise military commanders of the probable effect of any planned action on a long suffering civilian population. Military field officers were being sent into villages to observe the effects of civic action and to personally lead a hand toward construction of projects ranging from hygiene to schools. In the psychological section, leaflets reminded parents that their Viet Cong sons were dying without the benefit of Buddhist burial. Minstrel teams, an ancient tradition among the Vietnamese, sang funeral songs of the sins of the VC. Voices of the defectors were taped and from airplanes played back to their fellows, urging them to take similar action. Militarily, Westmoreland’s job was to break up VC concentrations so they no longer could overrun and terrorize towns. Politically, the job was to win the minds of the approximately 50 per cent of the population estimated under VC control or influence. As nearly as possible the two jobs would have to go hacd-inhand. On both fronts, the signs were encouraging.
