the market. These farms then would be j leased to qualified young farmers for two to 10 years, giving them the time to build capital sufficient to enable them to buy the farms upon expiration of the lease. “Nowadays it costs a halfmillion dollars or more to start farming oh your own land in Indiana, " Fithian observed iri introducing the bill “If we are to keep young farmers in the business of agriculture, we need to give some help.” "Academic studies have shown what those of us who grew up on the farm have known for a long

time — that the small family farm is the most productive segment of the agricultural sector. To keep our farm economy strong we must keep the family farm in business.” Farm land values are rising rapidly in the Midwest. Fithian said. He noted that the average vaule of an acre of farmland in Indiana rose from SBBB at the end of 1975 to $1,154 just one year later. “Time after time in my Town Meetings around northern Indiana. I've heard young people tell me that they want to stay on the farm, but they just can’t get

together the capital they need to get started,” he said. “This legislation should give them the help they need, and it should help us keep the American family farm in business.” Garage windows are broken Gereldean Chairaft, r 1 Syracuse, north side of Dewart Lake, reported that two small garage windows had been broken sometime within the past two weeks Damage was estimated at «•

My opinion of "Roots'

This TV showing of the novel “Roots” dug up things of the buried past which were better laid to rest and forgotten where the burial ground is bounded. It only opens up old wounds which have been, at least partially, heales The showing created guilts, driving a wedge between black and white Americans still deeper. The black young people of America need to try forgetting the sins of the pre-Civil War days, and looking ahead to the progress of the tomorrows. The truth is: The Black Race has come a long long way along the journey into equality. We pray that this once oppressed race can and will realize the truth and thank the Creator for this great advance. Let the dead past bury its dead! “Roots” was not a good thing for our thinking. What was one of the hidden powers behind “Roots?” We do know that there are hidden devilish powers endeavoring to stir up disruption among the races —

Large stocks loom over wheat market

Economists at USDA expected that more than 400 million bushels will be added to US wheat carryover this June, bringing stocks at around 1.1 billion bushels, the largest ending carryover since the early 1960’5. Although domestic use erf the record high 1976 crop now runs at about year-earlier levels. US wheat exports lag because of bumper 1976 crops in competing and importing nations. Exports may attain 975 million bushels. 17 per cent below last year, the lowest since, 1971. The 1976 world wheat crop topped the previous year by 16 per cent. Prospects for the 1977 winter wheat crop look good everywhere except in the United States. While large supplies and falling foreign demand pulled US wheat prices to the lowest levels since

Indiana farmers to plant

7,700,000 acres of com

Indiana fanners intend to plant 6,700,000 acres of com in 1977, 3 per cent more than in 1976. according to the US Department of Agriculture’s prospective plantings report. Com acreage for the nation is expected to total 84.5 million acres this year, slightly more than last year, but 8 per cent more than in 1975. This recent planting forecast was based on voluntary responses of growers to a mail survey taken around the first of January. Each farmer reported planting intentions for his own farm operation. The report is intended to assist farmej-s in making decisions as they see desirable pertaining to their acreage plants. It shoufd be noted that acreages actually planted can vary from those indicated due to weather, economic conditions and other factors. J Indiana farmers planted 6,560,000 acres of corn in 1976. and 5.850.000 acres in 1975.

black, white, yellow and red. How the Communists smile with glee when peace breaks at the seam; whether it’s race riots, ghetto burnings, the burning of draft cards or flags or loud cries against all that America stands for. The philosophy of the Iron Curtain Rulers is divide and conquer practiced ever since Lenin’s day in 1921! Eldridge Cleaver now knows the way. We should listen to whSt he has to say. He saw the light and walked there-in there-by making a great transformation! Modern miracles do happen. Miracles didn’t all-together die with the Apostles! This book and movie has such little healing power when America needs it so! The healing of the nation’s wounds is not presented in this “Roots”. It’s only bad for America. America needs healing, not cutting! What is your opinion? » Clayton J. Mock

Wl&n last fall, heavy placements in loan programs, uncertain weather, a prospective reduction in 1977 plantings, and feed prices helped them back to an average $2.43 per bushel in mid-January. Market prices may continue to rise seasonally, and farm prices for the season may average $2.75$3 per bushel, compared to last year’s $3.55. Wheat growers are eyeing alternative crops and weather. Plantings for winter wheat were down three per cent. Spring wheat growers indicated they would cut plantings 16 per cent. However, improved moisture and prices could cause larger plantings than indicated in the Northern Plains. In the plains, hard wheat producers appear to be shifting to barley, oats, oil crops, cotton and fallow

According to the report Indiana farmers indicated that in 1977 they would also plant 250,000 acres of oats, 12,000 acres of barley, and 3,530,000 acres of soybeans.
