Letters To The Editor Wawosee Education Association

Dear Editor: On behalf of the Wawasee Education Association, I would like to take this means in answering Mary K. Stuart’s letter to the Editor, September 25 pertaining to this program. The Wawasee Education Association is made up of interested citizens who desire to contribute to a scholarship fund for needy students. Last year, the association awarded two scholarships worth $2,000 each. The group consisting of Syracuse people is now in the process of consolidating with North Webster and Milford. By merging the three communities, the association will not only be able to continue, but enlarge upon the annual scholarship. To belong to the Association requires only SIOO per year, per member. We welcome new members. Anyone interested in participating of this endeavor may contact Merl Smith, president, box 577, Syracuse. Sincerely, Merl Smith, president Trucks Radio-Guided WASHINGTON—Many city trucks today provide the public with improved service and benefits through modern radio-facilitated pickup and delivery services. Local dispatchers are in constant communication with drivers of city fleets, saving time and money.

Outlook(Continued From Page 1) ations at a modest level. Wheat Wheat prices will likely fluctuate within a narrow range near the national loan rate of $1.25 a bushel. The Secretary of Agriculture hopes to achieve an 18 per cent reduction in wheat acreage through the 1969 wheat program which includes a 13 per cent cut in allotment and allows for diversion payments to farmers diverting allotted acres to conserving uses. Hogs Prices during the remainder of 1958 are expected to remain steady to slightly higher compared to those of the last three months of 1967. This means they will average between $17.50 and $19.50 per hundredweight. For the first nine months of 1969 prices are expected to average $1 to $2 per hundredweight lower than in the same period of 1963. During the first quarter of 1969 prices probably will fluctuate in the sl7 to sl9 range. During the second quarter of next year they are expected to range from sl7 to S2O and for July - September they are expected to range from $lB to s2l. Prospective hog and corn prices would indicate a reasonably favorable hog-corn feeding ratio for the next 12 months. A moderate increase in farrowings is likely to continue into 1989. Beef Cattle Fed cattle prices are expected to average near or slightly above the $27.22 per hundredweight average (choice steers at Chicago) of the past year. Choice cattle should average near the $27 level during the last three months of 1988. During the first quarter of 1969 prices will average in the $26 $27 range and strengthen to the $27-$29 range during the next three months. Slightly higher fed cattle prices are expected to about offset higher feeder cattle prices and result in returns to cattle feeding comparable to the past 12 months While there appears to be adequate supplies of feeder cattle available, feedlot construction has increased. The pressure to fill these lots and keep present facilities operating along with abundant feed supplies will lend strength to feeder cattle prices. Sheep and Lambs Slaughter lamb prices this fall are expected to stay 50 cents to $1.50 per hundredweight above year earlier levels. Winter slaughter prices likely will be $1 to $3 above last winter, depending on the size of the reduction in numbers of sheep and lambs on feed. Dairy Milk prices during the next 12 months should closely approximate those of a year ago. Rela-

tively little change is anticipated in milk production and in total commercial sales of dairy products. Practically all Indiana Grade A milk producers are receiving negotiated prices above the minimum levels established by the federal order program. Eggs Prices in the year ahead are expected to average well above a year earlier. Chicago Grade A Large eggs may average near 38 cents a dozen for the 12-month period. If supplies increase as much as expected by late 1969, the seasonal price increase into the last quarter of 1969 will be small. Turkeys Prices received by growers are expected to average 21% to 22% cents a pound at the farm during the last quarter of 1968: these are one-half cent higher than during the last three months of 1967. Early indications are for a three per cent expansion in the number of turkeys to be raised in 1969. Therefore, slightly higher prices are expected during the 1969 marketing season — August through December. Broilers Ice - packed broiler prices (nine - city average) are expected to average 25 to 25% cents a pound during the last three months of 1988; this is 2 to 2% cents above a year earlier. Prices for the first half of 1969 are expected to average near last year’s level of 27V 2 cents. Prices for the remainder of 1969 could be under pressure if current relatively attractive prices stimulate a new round of expansion. Farm Real Estate Land prices are expected to increase two to five per cent in the next year. From March, 1967, to March, 1963, farm land values rose six per cent to an estimated average value of $419 an acre, including improvements. Good quality land to which mechanization and technology can be applied will show the most rise in value, while lower quality land values will be stable to slightly lower. The long term outlook is for farm land values to move upward. Production Items The composite index of prices of farm production items, interest rates, farm property tax rates and wages paid for farm labor likely will increase from one to five per cent from the previous year. Interest rates are expect-

ed to average slightly lower. Prices for feed and fertilizer probably will average about the same as in the previous year. Only slight increases are expected in prices of grain seeds. An average increase of at least five per cent in farm machinery prices appears likely. Generally steady to slightly higher prices are expected for gasoline, oil, agricultural chemicals, building and fencing materials and other farm supplies. Farm wage rates are expected to rise about eight per cent. Tax rates on real estate HUMOR IN THE NEWS Dominic Bientait kept writing to his girl back home in France, but she never received a line.

and personal property likely will increase an average of at least 10 per cent with increases varying widely over the state. Operating Expenses Commercial farmers generally will continue to enlarge the size of their units and/or their volume of business. Quantities of some purchased items will increase as volume is increased. Therefore, average farm operating expenses during the year ahead will be larger than for the previous 12 months.
