MINTON' CURLERS JOINED

Clinton curlers have been in-

They are Hugh Hawkins, 11ev. A

owners and renters. The, nearest
thing to this locally is an ex-
perimental project in Bruce Coun-
ty, where 125 farmers are hir-
ing a full time management con-
sultant.
"The farmer," said Mr, Mc-
Kinley, "is an independent indiv-
idual who hates to be in debt.
There is a need for long term
credit in ever-increasing amounts.
Consider the town businessman
who uses his credit to the full
in order to expand. The grocery-
man has a complete turnover of
his inventory perhaps once a mon-
th. The farmer expects a turn-
over once every two to three years.,
"Records have shown us that
the farmer must use his borrowed
capital to its fullest extent," went
on Mr. McKinley.
'He noted that with the differ-
ence in efficiency of farmers, it
wag difficult to establish support
prices, for what would be a parity
price for one man, would not be
for another, He said that the low
income farmer must be helped
to help himself by better methods,
Mr, McKinley said he did not
want to be misunderstood: he
was not against supports, nor mar-
keting 'boards.
"There is need now for emph-
asis on• purchasing and marketing,"
went on the speaker. The econ-
omics head at Perdue University
told the touring group that in the
'40s the emphasis was on all-out
production, In the '50s farmers
have begun to use machines and
science, which both tend to in-
crease production. Now the future
must look to purchasing and mar-
keting.
"Integration is the tying toge-
ther of these three phases. Unless
farmers can accomplish this them-
selves, more contract farming will
come about.
"The farmers problem," accord-
ing to the economist, was brought
about by. socialistic meddling by
the government and farm organ-
izations in the economic laws of
agriculture. Political laws can-
not replace the economic lanvsi
"Farming has changed. In gr-
andfatherS time be required 250
acres; 25-80 steers; 4 cows and
10-12 horses, Today we have 100-
150 cattle' 34,000 hens and need
$25 to each $1 grandfather needed.
We have to pay for gasoline, hy-
dro, wages, depreciation, income
tax and the High School Tax,
"Farming has long been con-
sidered a way of life, It is also
a business requiring keen minds•
to be successful, while still being
attractive and challenging. If we
are slow enough not to make
mistakes, we are net fast enough
for progress."

Already the people of Clinton

last year—hut remember there are
more people living in this district
in 1958 than in 1957. Far such a
worthy cause, it is not enough that
one gives as much as last year,
but that one gives as much as pos-

Acted On Hunch
The chief and another officer,
on a hunch, visited' a gravel pit
northeast of the town, where the
thieves had opened a safe March
17.: They found not only the MIA
safe, but a smaller one that had

backs were peeled off and the con-

Subsequent investigation reveal-
ed the smaller safe had been tak-
