PIK offers self help for farmers

By PHILIP L. BRAMAN ASCS Executive Director No sector of workers has suffered more from the current economic conditions than the American farmer. He has faced continually rising prices for the things he buys to produce crops, white the prices he receives for those crops have fallen below his cost of producing them. Farmers continue to put out crops each spring and add to the over supply, with no guarantee that their crops will be sold at a price high enough for them to realize a profitable return to their labor. The Payment-In-Kind (PIK) program has offered farmers the opportunity to help themselves. Tlirough their combined efforts, farmers will reduce production during 1983 by taking land out of production, thus reducing the new supply that would be added to the already burdensome excess stocks. The land taken out of production will be put to a conserving use to prevent erosion and build the soil for later years when it’s needed. These participating farmers will be compensated for taking land out of production by receiving grain from existing

excess stocks. The PIK grain received as compensation represents a portion of the grain that would have been produced on these idle acres. In many cases the excess PIK grain is already held by the farmer in his own bins under price support loans. These excess stocks are being held off the market by the farmer until supply and demand are more in line and prices improve to a profitable level. Through the PIK program, current year production will be reduced and some excess stocks will come into the market channel. Kosciusko County farmers are currently holding over three million bushels of excess com in storage, waiting for higher prices. This .represents 25 per cent of a year’s production. Should county farmers take corn acres out of production under the PIK program, this excess grain would be given to them as compensation and little change would be seen in the current year supply of grain. Although farmers have completed sign-up in the PIK program, the final results of signup will not be known until March 22. This uniform release of signup information allows all in-

Heavy snows in March Early spring was definitely very early according to Lores Steury, Goshen College weather observer, who stated that up to the first of March there was one other winter warmer, that of 1931-1932. In 1931-1932 there was extremely cold weather the first of March with this March being one of the mildest until the past week end. Records indicated there has been heavy snows in March. Op March 22,1977, there was nine inches with 8.5 inches reported on Saint Patrick’s Day. With the mild weather experienced, many plants are blooming ahead of schedule. The forsythia usually blooms April 15-May 1. The soft maple blooms March 1-April 1. This year it was in full bloom on March 6. Maple syrup producers have reported that the maple syrup season is two weeks early, however, the dates will vary over the area.

Vanlaninghams bring home top honors

Vanlaningham Brothers Yorkshires, Milford, were honored at the Louisville Barrow Show recently by having the champion Yorkshire Banrow in this year’s competition. The 228pound barrow went on to be named the reserve.. grand champion in the middleweight class. The Vanlaningham pork operation is well-known throughout the midwest as an operation which features fulltime pork production as a farming enterprise. Cash awards, elaborate silver trophies and winners’ banners were awarded to the Vanlaninghams. According to Dennis O. Uptrap, manager of the Louisville Barrow Show, the quality of entries in the 1983 show were outstanding and representative of the giant strides which pork producers are making to improve the quality of their product. More than 500 barrow entries competed for top honors this year in the Open Barrow Show, and 325 entries later competed in other purebred competition. A new and innovative judging technique was introduced at the show, invented by Liptrap who is also a leading Extension Swine

How much longer?

By EDWARD THORLUND How much longer can the stock market continue to rise, after moving up 40 per cent in seven months? A check on past bull markets reveals it could go further but that such a percentage gain has, more often, meant a correction. That’s what many analysts on Wall Street have been predicting for some time. As this is written, the correction hasn’t been fully established. One prominent New York analyst predicted in mid-March that the Dow-Jones average would reach 1250 before the end of the year. He believes falling oil prices are certain to fuel the rally for much of the year. After initially conflicting claims, most analysts have now come to agree lower oil prices are bullish for the market, since that reduces inflation and increases

But there are still many who believe a forty per cent rise in prices, in seven months, is certain to produce a cor recti mi. Many of these analysts are telling clients to be very careful in stock purchases. Oil stocks are not favored. And some high technology growth stocks have been oversold, in their view. This prudence might be a good theme for today’s investor, and careful selectivity. If there is a market correction, that might produce better buys.

A GYPSY FINDS A HOME — Mr. and Mrs. Willard (Yvonne) Conn. Leesburg, were snowmobiling in a Michigan state forest in January. 1982, when they happened onto a dog that was cold, hungry and homeless. Now, “Gypsy” has a full belly, a warm home and even enjoys a scratch on the back in “her” very own chair. (Photo by Gail Widmoyer)

From the Michigan wilds to the life of a tourist

By GAIL WIDMOYER If dogs could speak English, Gypsy would be sure to thank Willard and Yvonne Conn for saving her life. As the Conn’s pet listened from “her” chair, Willard and Yvonne told her story. Last winter as the Conns were snowmobiling in a Michigan state forest near Houghton Lake, they saw a dog with a rag tied around its neck coming towards them on the trail. Willard stopped and the dog, “shivering all over,” crawled up on his lap making herself at home on the first warm spot she had found in several days. Fortunately there were some hot dogs left from the Conn’s cookout, so the “pretty thin’.’ and obviously hungry dog quickly gulped down two hot dogs offered by her new-found friend. The Conns were sure Gypsy had been out at least all night and maybe as long as two or three days, but one thing was certain, “She’d been out there for some time,” said Yvonne. The couple speculated Gypsy had been used to run deer, an illegal practice in Michigan. Gypsy was taken back to the Conn’s hotel room where Willard called the sheriff’s office to see if anyone had reported a missing dog. There was no missing report, but the sheriff said he would take care of the animal. After the phone conversation, Willard and Yvonne were going to a nearby restaurant for breakfast and before they left, they told the hotel manager not to let the sheriff take the dog if he came. “I knew if the sheriff took the dog he’d put her to sleep. That’s why I didn’t want the manager to let him have her,” Willard explained. “But wouldn’t you know,” he continued, “when we came back from breakfast the dog was gone.” Willard went to the hotel manager telling him the dog would probably be put to sleep since no one had claimed her. With the manager’s help, the

Conns radioed the officer who had taken Gypsy and told him they wanted to keep the dog for themselves. So? the officer came back to the lodge and gave Gypsy to her new owners. Those lifesaving events happened in January 1982. Now that the Conns have acquired ownership of the SIOO dog (her vaccinations and taxes for the first year were S9B and her taxes this year were $2), her lifestyle has changed from one of survival in the rugged, Michigan wilderness to one of continental tourist. The Conns enjoy traveling in their motor home and since Gypsy is part of the family now, she’s become “quite a welltraveled dog.” In one year with

the Conns, Gypsy has already been to Florida twice and the World’s Fair. “We just returned from Florida a week ago,” related Willard, “and the other day, Gypsy was sitting by the step of the motor home — waiting to go for another trip. ” Besides being well-traveled, Gypsy has also become quite a connoisseur. “When we go out to eat, we always bring home a doggy bag. And she always expects one,” Willard said. On days that the Conns eat in, Gypsy gets “one meal and lots of little tid bits inbetween.” Maybe Gypsy can t speak English, but her attentive, wellbehaved manner more than adequately expresses her gratitude.
