<CRIZInJ<S AROUND J The strange story of Robbing Hoode, as reported in this column last week, raised a number of eyebrows but brought forth little that is new on the bizarre get-rich-quick scheme. Robbing Hoode’s sudden disappearance, his present whereabouts, and other details concerning the under-cover shenanigans of this man caused quite a flurry during the past week to the uninformed and unsuspecting alike. Many local people in the MilfordSyracuse area were “taken to the cleaners” and should have known better than to become involved in a plan that would double one's mcney in 20 weeks. These people, most of them shamefaced, are slew to admit they were victims of this unarmed bandit, and details are slow coming to light. And those who have profited to some extent (although perhaps not recovered their original investment) will not point a finger at anyone since they no doubt failed to report the income on their tax return. Local officers will tell you they have no case until someone complains. A well known Syracuse businessman commented this week, “They got what they deserved. This is a scheme little old ladies fall for and not full grown businessmen." Bill Sheffer, feature writer on The Goshen £lews, did an acceptable bit on the scheme from what real facts he could glean, but he admitted real hard facts were hard to come by. Bill commented this week, “If some morning I step on my car starter and Jhe car and I both go up in a cloud of smoke, say something good about me, will

Time For No Grazing On Diverted Farm Program Acres Farmers were reminded today that the “no-grazing” period for land diverted from production under the 1969 feed grain program started April 1. It will continue for the following five months until August 30. 1969. Scott Horn, chairman of the conservation Kosciusko county committee explained that producers who are diverting land under the program have agreed not to graze the land being diverted during the specific fivemonth period of the growing season and not to harvest a crop from the land at any time during the year. Farmers who are taking part in the conservation reserve and cropland adjustment programs have agreed not to graze or harvest crops from land diverted under these programs during the -life of the agreements. These provisions are important to producers because any violation of them may result in reduction or total loss of payments otherwise earned under the programs. Kosciusko county producers signed up to participate in the 1569 feed grain program number 1.580 which ranks second in the state in number of farms and with 37,000 acres intended diversion, places the county in third place.
