WHISPERS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WAR

Whiskers outranked the war as

SO far as the front page OF a

More curled horsehair came
from South America than from
any other place.
Farmers along the Hudson River
resented blasting in the Palisades
because it scared all the snakes
over into New Jersey.
A government expedition into
the Klondike failed because the
Lapland reindeer didn't arrive.
These were the featured page
one news stories in a May II,
1898 issue of The London (O0
Semi-Weekly Enterprise, recently
brought to public attention.

news-and printed that late war
news on page 2. More OF a front
page caliber was the story about

Farmers To Reclaim Corn
From US. As Prices Climb

Farmers operating in Ohio ter
ritory south of U. S. Route 40 are
expected to reclaim more than
$3,5O0,000 worth of corn placed
under government loans last fall.
An upward trend in market
prices is responsible for the move,
according to Dale Williams, chair
man of the State Production
Marketing Administration.
The deadline for loan foreclos-
ures in the territory south of
Route 40 is June 10.
The south portion of the state
h as approximately $5,000,0 900
worth of corn under crop loans.
William expects nearly two-thirds
of these loans to be liquidated be-
fore the deadline.
In the territory north of Rt. 40
the PIMA has made loans on about
five million bushels of corn. If
there is no change in the present
corn outlook in the northern part
of the state, the PMA will have
to take over about two-thirds of
the five million bushels of corn.
The corn support price aver
ages $1.43. Although market
prices have not gone much above
the support price, the cost of
shelling the corn for PM. fore
closure can be eliminated by the
farmer paying off the loan. Will
liams claimed most of the corn
is still in cribs on farms.
Foreclosure deadline for the
northern part CT the state is
July 81.
