Feeder auctions 9 gross up sharply

WEST LAFAYETTE — Buoyed by arising hog prices, feeder pig and calf sales at half a dozen southern Indiana auctions brought, sharply higher gross returns during 1975. Gross from 112 of these sales amounted to $7.7 million, according to Kenneth G. MacDonald. Purdue university extension animal scientist. This was a million dollars above the 1974 total Reflecting a trend in cattle prices, the average price per hundredweight for calves and the

Burglars and locks

For most of us. coming home at the end of the day or after a trip is usually a relief. Unfortunately, a recent trend toward crime has destroyed this sense of safety within our own four walls. Police estimates indicate, however, that the residential burglary- rate can be drastically reduced if homeowners know how burlaps operate and will take just common sense precautions against a break-in. One of the first steps to thwart a would be burglar is to lock the house. There is no absolutely fool proof way to prevent an experienced. determined thief. However, few of these individuals are hard workers and all are in a hurry. Simply making.the entrydifficult increases the chances that this house will be passed by for an easier target. If he has to work at breaking in. a burglar may be spotted by a neighbor or the returning homeowner Type of Locks A good lock must be strong. The best basic design is the pin tumbler cylinder type, installed with the pins at the top and a sliding bolt which fits either horizontally or vertically. The bolt should be at least a 5/8" piece of steel or solid brass and should extend from the lock by at least one half inch It may be locked either by one key from the outside or by both an outside and inside key A major disadvantage of the two key lock is that, in spite of its obviously increased effectiveness, it is a fire hazard Finding and using the inside key in times of emergency and in darkness can mean the difference between escape and tragedy. An inside keyshould always be kept in a secure place, away from the roaming hands of a burglar who may have broken a nearby window or a glass pane of the door to reach inside. Buying a good lock may not be possible in a single shopping trip Because locks corrie in such a wide variety of styles, materials and prices, comparative shopping is essential. Once you have talked to several locksmiths and compared different locks, sort through possible sales talk in order to appreciate exactly what you need for the degree erf security you seek Remember: there are professional burglars who know more about locks than most people and the more common and generally the more inexpensive locks are the most easily understood Other Precautions In addition to strong and well designed locks, a home must be protected by strong doors, prefer at ly metal with no glass panes A wooden door not less than one and three fourths inches thick is the next choice of a security conscious homeowner But even a strong door must be hung from a sturdy frame which cannot be “jimmied", or spread open by an automobile jack or similar tool Burglar resistant locks and doors cost money There are still several precautions which a

The 28,125 calves that went under the hammer averaged $134.03. as against an average of $178.09 in 1974. They averaged 480 pounds. The feeder pigs, reflecting a rising trend in hog prices, brought $77.45 per hundredweight, compared with $46.10 a year earlier. Pigs sold numbered 77.228, 20.000 fewer

homeowner can take which cost nothing but time and a little thought. — When away from home do not let mail or papers pile up. — Minimize the number of people having key. — Eliminate dark shadows around your home. — Do not leave an extra key “hidden" near door — Before talking to locksmiths about protecting your home, check with Better Business Bureau on dealer’s reputation For the birds * Birds may become an early warning system of . environmental disasters. And research on herons has alreadybegun. In highly industrialized areas, waste products such as mercury, lead and cadmium often escape into waterways. Pesticides seep in through drainage. Dredge and fill .operations, dikes and other activities of coastal development wreak havoc with life and land. Poisonous chemicals can and do pollute fish, shrimp, crabs, oysters, clams, birds, reptiles, and mammals. New research by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Sen-ice shows that fish eating birds like herons accumulate a wide variety of environmental pollutants. In addition, they are especially sensitive to changes in their environment. By studying the habits, habitats and reproductive success of these striking looking birds, with their long necks, legs and bills, which nest in huge colonies often numbering in the thousands, scientists hope to predict and avoid calamities such as the Lake Erie disaster. As part of its heron study, the service will observe a breeding colony of herons in captivity and monitor nesting behavior with time lapse photography. Empty shells will be placed in some nests and mini radio transmitters will be fitted inside the egg to record how often they are turned by the parents and other incubation patterns. Pollutant levels inside regular eggs and in baby herons will be tested, too. Birds may send future warning signals of pollution. Plenty of signals have been sounded already.

Congressman Floyd ML Fithian Reports

Farmers won a round in Congress last week when the house agriculture committee approved a bill which will clean up the grain inspection scandals. We had been working on the bill for several months in an effort to end the abuse that threatens our farm markets. Although I’m not satisfied with all aspects of the bill as it was finally approved, ! believe that it will go a long way toward protecting the farmer from fraudulent grading and weighing of grain. American grain exporting companies have been defrauding our foreign customers by about $l2O million a year in each of the last five years. Grain has arrived in foreign ports in far lesser quantities than certified. Quality of American grain hasn’t matched the grade assigned to it. Foreign material has been introduced into grain shipments. And all of this has been permitted by inspectors working hand-in-hand with grain companies, many of them accepting sizeable bribes. This has enormous ramifications for the farmer. Some nations, frustated by the fact that they can’t get quality grain from America, are turning elsewhere to buy grain. Other countries have taken less drastic but still alarming steps, such as Japan's decision to automatically appeal for reinspection of every incoming shipment of American grain. It’s not hard to see that if this situation isn’t corrected soon, we will begin to lose more and more of our foreign buyers. That will hurt our entire economy, since farm exports generate farm income, which in turn provides the economic base for millions of jobs. Additionally, short-weighing takes even more of a toll on farmers It’s the farmer who is forced to absorb the losses when export terminals short-weigh grain. And the farmer has no one tp pass along his losses t 0... he’s at the end of the line. To correct this situation, we shaped a bill which provides for stiff penalties for such violations as false grading, short-weighing and introduction of foreign material into grain. Fines to be assessed grain companies involved in such fraudulent practices were increased. And all inspection at export terminals will be done by federal personnnel or state officials approved by the Secretary of Agriculture, if this bill becomes law.

Federal auditors, grain company presidents, local elevator operators and average farmers agree that this is the only sensible course if we are serious about protecting our farmers from future grain inspection scandals. I’m pleased to have been among the leaders of the effort to get this bill through the agriculture committee, and I will work for its passage on the floor. Modern lighting progress noted A fluorescent lamp of today produces 100 times more light than one of the kerosene lamps once commonly used to light American homes. Yet the amount of fuel required to generate electricity for the fluorescent lamp is no more than was used to light the old-fashioned lantern. Flying hazard noted by FAA About 14 near misses involving commercial aircraft occur each year, reports the Federal Aviation Administration. In recent years there generally have been 30 to 40 midair collisions each year, almost all of them involving general aviation aircraft. TROOPER JACK SAFETY TIP OF THE WEEK It’s amazing how many people issue an “open” invitation to burglars to enter their homes and steal their valuable possessions. Many folks leave home for an evening or week end and never take the time to lock their homes properly. Or, they go away for an extended vacation and forget to ask a neighbor or the police to check their house. It’s an open invitation. To report any crime, call collect 219-894-3141.
