Farm exports set all-time record US farm exports for fiscal year 1976 were valued at $22.15 billion, three per cent more than last year's record of $21.6 billion, reported Phil Braman of the local agricultural stabilization and conservation service (ASCS) office. “This is the sixth straight year for record farm exports,” Braman said. Agricultural trade produced a record surplus of over sl2 billion, which helps to offset the high cost of oil imports made during the past year. The record export value came largely from an increase in volume of shipments, Braman said. Wheat exports were valued at $4.9 billion, virtually unchanged from last year. Feed grain ex ports rose in value to more than $5.6 billion. Rice exports dropped in value from $1 billion to $540.8 million. Soybean export value was just over $4 billion, up 4 per cent. Cotton exports declined in value from just over $1 billion last year to SBB2 million in FY 1976. Exports of livestock and meat products increased by more than $250 million, reaching $1.7 billion Tobacco shipments dropped 6 per cent, but value went up 1 per cent to $917 3 million Fruits and vegetables that moved into export were valued at $1.41 billion compared with $1.12 billion by FY 1975 Shipments of sugar and tropical products rose from a value of $355 1 million to $414.8 million. Exports of poultry meat increased by 79 per cent to $135.2 million.

your floral artistry, say Purdue university extension horticulturists. Here are some suggestions: Pick flowers in early morning cr late afternoon to have them fresh. Do not select flowers that have been fully open several days; they will not last long. After bringing the flowers indoors, remove leaves that might decay under water. Using a sharp knife, cut off at least one half inch from the bottom of each stem. Make this cut under water if possible, or under a stream of running water. Place the flowers in a deep, clean container of warm (110 degree F) water. If possible, leave them in a cool room or refrigerator to condition for two or more hours before arranging. A floral preservative added to the water will extend the life of cut flowers. Do not use it stronger than the manufacturer’s recommendations. Add water daily to the arrangement to replace water lost by evaporation. If flowers are inserted in a porous rigid-foam material, saturate the foam throughly in advance. Use a vase large enough to permit submerging the block of foam and keep the foam covered with water. Be sure stem ends remain below the water surface. Removing them may create an air pocket at the base of the stem, preventing water uptake. Groom the arrangement daily by removing faded blossoms and discolored leaves. If a floral preservative has not been used, recut the stems as directed above, scrub the container and replace with fresh water every two or three days. Keep arrangements out of direct sun and drafts, and avoid excessive heat. Placing flowers in a cool room, such as a basement, or a refrigerator at night helps prolong their beauty.
Happenings from Indiana University
BLOOMINGTON — In 1816 a boy named Abraham Lincoln came to Indiana from Kentucky with his mother, father and older sister. Bicentennial researchers at Indiana university have learned that two dappled horses carried all the Lincolns’ possessions. ■ The family lived in a pole and brush shelter for the first year in Spencer county. Then a one-room log cabin was built. Tragedystruck in 1818 when Mrs. Lincoln died. Her husband later married Sarah Bush Johnston, a widow who had three children Young Abe Lincoln grew to be a tall, bony youth who wore deerskin caps and homemade trousers — which were always too short! He was a reluctant farm hand. He preferred reading and talking — and would tell stories at great length Yet, he attended school for less than one year during his entire life. Lincoln grew up in Indiana and then at the age of 22 left the state in 1830 — destined to become President of the United States.

Syracuse continues review of new water system funding
The town board of Syracuse adopted the 1977 budget and reviewed the Public Service Commissions (PSC) water rate ruling Monday night, Aug. 30. The PSC’s ruling introduced a uniform across the board increase of approximately 242 per cent, thus producing a $163,686 annual revenue for the town. Homeowners would be billed approximately $9.80 monthly if this water billing were to be implemented. The town had submitted a rate ordinance to the PSC which was ignored in the ruling. The town’s ordinance requested a flat charge of $5,25 per month instead of the $3 homeowners are presently paying until meters could be installed. Under the PSC order the town was authorized to proceed with the sale of $885,000 of revenue bonds for the water system expansion. This is a 326 per cent increase on homeowners’ monthly billings. The town board members decided not to accept the billing based on the PSC’s ruling. Alternatives Town attorney Robert Reed and rate consultant H. J, Umbaugh will seek a rehearing with the PSC to review the town’s original request to provide adequate revenue at a lower rate. Additional funds are necessary to expand water utility service to the town’s annexed areas, treatment for iron removal, a new elevated water storage tower and to update the present distribution system. Umbaugh feels the present billing is unfair because large volume water users, such as car washes, laundromats, schools and some industries are not presently paying their fajr-share. If the PSC across-the-board increase is accepted, inequality will continue Reed reported the FHA may be able to loan necessary funds at a lower rate of interest, probably at five per cent on a 40-year loan, thus saving approximately $50,000. The proposed $5.25 monthly charge could be reduced almost $1 if FHA funded the construction. Reed and Umbaugh will further investigate possible FHA funding as well as consider two other feasible programs. One alternative if the rehearing is unsuccessful, is to implement the across-the-board increase and have Umbaugh prepare a cost of service study to present to the PSC. This would take seven to eight months before the PSC would rule again. The other solution would involve five per cent of the town
