LOUISA'S LETTER

Dear Louisa, My husband died this past year and left me with four children. Daddy and Mother insisted that I come back home and stay with them as I would not have house rent to pay and could just assume half of the grocery and utilities money. I have two younger sisters who live at home and they have no patience with the children. This makes for unhappiness on both the children’s part and the rest of us. There is an apartment next door which I am thinking of renting and I can get a part time job that will allow me to be home after lunch. There is also a good woman who will stay with the two younger children each morning while the other two are at school and Mother is next door if anything unusual happens. My only problem is this: I hate for my parents to think that I don’t like being home and I

wouldn’t hurt their feelings for anything in the world. How do you think I should handle this? H.G.—lll, Answer: Tell your parents that you and the children love them dearly but that you think it is an imposition for them to have to put up with the confusion that youngsters cause in a home and particularly so when there are teenagers in the family. You will be living next door to your parents so they will be able to see you and the children whenever they wish without having you when it doesn’t suit. I do not think that your parents will have their feelings hurt if you make the change — in fact I imagine they will like the new arrangement very much.

became district wildlife biologist for eight northwestern Indiana in 1979. “During his five years with the Division of Fish and Wildlife, Roy has been responsible for entering almost 4,000 acres of land in the classified wildlife habitat program, more than any district biologist,” Ridenour said. Ridenour added that enthusiasm, dedication and positive attitude, a Grimes trademark, were reasons for His selection for the award. Grimes, a native of Richmond, now lives in Walkerton with his wife Patricia and their two children.

PROGRAM ON AGRICULTURE — Jane Grady, Syracuse, a member of the Kosciusko County Agriculture Committee and a member of a family who has been involved in farming for the past five generations, spoke to'members of the Syracuse-Wawasee Rotary Club concerning agriculture and its effect on those in the community.

Mrs. Grady tells Rotarians about farming in county

Jane Grady was introduced to the Syracuse-Wawasee Rotary club Tuesday by the Program Chairman, Steve Arnold. She serves on the Kosciusko County Agriculture Committee and is a member of a family who has been in farming in this community for five generations. Mrs. Grady said that agriculture is the nation’s heartbeat. Without this heartbeat there would be no life. It is a business; a business committed to the seasons of the year. It has been with us since the beginnings of our country. The first range war between cattlemen and farmers took place when the Dutch owned Manhattan Island. Only one percent of the nation’s budget is devoted to agriculture. For awhile there was a great deal of interest from foreign monied groups. This has diminished in recent years. Our agriculture business is so far advanced it can be compared with the space program. If you go to any other country in the world to look at the agricultural business, you will take a step backward in time. The European Common Market was banded together in order to insure adequate food for the member nations. Some other countries including those in the Communist Bloc do not have meat on their menu. They import vast amounts of grain in order to feed their cattle in order to use their own grain for the table. There are two primary agricultural belts in the world, the North and the South. As an example, the Ukraine in Russia is at the northernmost limits of the North Belt. In addition to this, they do not have the manpower to make farming profitable. The United States sits right in - the middle of these belts. No place else in the world has the land Suitable for farming that we do. We also have the manpower at present to farm the land. A good farmer is. automatically, a conservationist. He must conserve the land if he is to survive. She said that the land is a living thing. It has been asleep during the winter months but even now we can see it awakening. However, the only constant is the sun rising in the East and setting

in the West. All other factors are variables. Rain, frost, hail and drought can ruin everything. Indiana is the very heartland. Due to the conservativeness of the Indiana farmer, we have not specialized in any particular crop or form of livestock. We cover the entire spectrum of the agricultural business. Therein lies our strength. Kosciusko County has everything going for it: a good growing season, good land, and water. There is diversified agriculture including cattle, poultry, and egg production. However, there are serious financial problems. The farmer must assume the financial burden of seed, man hours and so

forth himself, hoping for a good growing season. He buys at the retail price and must sell at the wholesale price. He has no control over these things. He must work his cash flow and costs to his advantage in order to survive. One of the problems faced by some farmers is the devaluation of farmland in the 80s and reductions in capital assets. This, along with increased production costs, have put some of them in a bind. Mrs. Grady concluded with the statement that where agriculture hurts all business, large and small, all banks, large and small and all people of this nation have a corresponding hurt.
