Farmers need to report crops

Kosciusko County farmers should report their crop acreages to the ASCS office by August 1. Robert Strombeck, chairman of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee in Kosciusko County urges all farmers to report their acreages before the August 1 deadline. “Timely and accurate crop reports are required for eligibility for program benefits this year,” Strombeck said. These program benefits include low yield disaster protection, deficiency payments if national average market prices fall below target prices, and price support commodity loans. Lack of a crop report could also reduce program benefits next year. Strombeck noted that the dry weather in July will substantially reduce crop yields and many One injured as cars collide An accident resulting in an injury occured on SR 13 and Chicago Street, Syracuse, on July 22 at about 1:45 p.m. Douglas R.

Mrs. Ellis, friends, neighbors, even a few strangers volunteered to help. The therapy only takes 10 or 15 minutes each day and is provided for Mrs. Ellis six days each week. She is showing slow but steady improvement. The volunteers, who have been coming for about six weeks now, “Are a delight and so considerate and helpful in many ways. Roy Spry has been an especially faithful friend” said Mrs. Burns. A visiting nurse from Warsaw provided by, “Health Care On Wheels” was calling regularly on Mrs. Ellis. Now, due to her progress and the help provided by people who care, the nurse doesn't come at all any more unless called. The necessity for therapy volunteers was first brought to everyone’s attention by Rev. Rex Lindemood of North Webster United Methodist Church. A schedule is maintained at the church to help keep folks informed as to when they will be needed at the Ellis home.

Mrs. Ellis’s health is improving thanks to a community that is not afraid to get involved. Area farmers lose chickens There have been reports of the poultry industry being hard hit by the miserable heat. A chat with Mrs. Deverl Bowser (Mr. and Mrs. Bowser own and operate Bowser’s Egg Farm) who live south of North Webster revealed that one night recently when the temperature didn’t go below 80 degrees they lost over 70 chickens. There probably would have been a larger loss if the chickens hadn’t been young layers. According to Mrs. Bowser, “I’ve heard that some poultry raisers have suffered very large losses. We were pretty lucky this ' time.” At one point a few weeks ago when a storm knocked the power chickens with fresh cool water. Mrs. Bowser said, “Even with the big fans going the chickens can’t take it when it’s so awful hot

and humid. Sometimes the air coming through the ventilating fans from outdoors is hot enough to destroy the poor things. We do our best to keep them comfortable. We also hope it doesn’t get so awful hot again this summer. ” Hobby Club works on bazaar items Tippecanoe Township Hobby Club members met July 23 at the home of Ruth Mickley.
