It happened ... in Syracuse
16 YEARS AGO, DEC. 3,1975 Thechildren of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob rKern, Jr., 1 of Syracuse spent the Thanksgiving holiday in the home of their parents. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Jacob E. Kern 111 and family of Syracuse; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Jones and family of Anderson and Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey Kern and children of Nappanee. Parking meters in uptown Syracuse will be capped from Friday, Dec. 12, through the 24th by order of the Syracuse town board, passed by a 4 to 1 vote at the board meeting last night. Board member Carl Myrick voted against the motion, as he had in previous years. Board president Darrell Grisamer voiced the opinion that uptown merchants and their employees had “continuously abused the free parking privileges” when meters were capped for a two-week period prior to Christmas in previous years. The annual big free show, live act, and Santa with treats at the Pickwick Theatre in Syracuse is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 14, with shows at 10 and 1 o’clock. The event is sponsored by Syracuse police and firemen and area merchants. Joe and Barbara Todd, Todd Realty, have recently returned from San Francisco, Calif., where they attended the National Realtors’ Convention.

December 1 crop report
By EARL L. PARK Statistician Progress of corn and soybean harvest remained at a standstill during the period as rainy weather continued for the third straight week. Corn harvest, at 83 percent complete, was unchanged from the previous week and is now behind the 89 percent harvested a year ago. Normally, 97 percent of the corn is harvested by this date, placing current progress 20 days behind the five year average. The record for late corn harvest was in 1967 and 1972 when harvest had reached only the halfway mark. In 1972 corn harvest did not reach 83 percent until almost mid-January. Soybean harvest is 94 per cent complete, also unchanged from the previous week and now tying the slow progress of 1984. Soybean combining is normally over by this time, finishing around Nov. 24. The record slow progress for soybean harvest was in 1972 when only 57 per cent of the soybeans were combined. All of the winter wheat crop has emerged, ahead of the 82 percent emerged a year earlier, but on par with normal emergence for

the date. Wheat condition dropped from a week earlier with rating of 23 percent fair, 70 percent good, and seven percent excellent. The 77 percent good or better rating compares with 81 percent a week ago and remains well above a year ago when 11 percent was rated good and none excellent.

Wheat stands were unchanged from a week earlier with ratings of 16 percent fair, 74 percent good, and 10 percent excellent. Tilling of land intended for crops to be planted next spring remains at 37 percent complete, unchanged from the previous two weeks.
