Phone 864-7451 Postville, Iowa Box 655 At Phillips 66 it's performance that counts The USDA's August corn crop forecast was slightly lower than the grain trade had anticipated and lower than 1972-73 expected requirements wnicn could mean stronger prices for the coming year, says Bob Wlsner.

If the production forecast materializes, the Iowa State University extension economist expects central Iowa corn prices by late spring and early summer in 1973 will be around or slightly above $1.17 per bushel in order to attract enough corn to fill requirements. The August crop report, containing the first official corn yield forecast, predicted a 4,948 million bushel crop. Such production would be 11 per cent below 1971 production and 150 to 200 million bushels below expected 1972-73 marketing year requirements. National corn carryover supplies this fall are slightly under 1.2 billion bushels. Iowa production was estimated at 1,076 million bushels, nine per cent below 1971 production, but still only the second billion- plus bushel crop on record.

The USDA forecast called for a 103 bushel per acre Iowa yield which would be a new record. Wisner said Iowa, Nebraska, and Minnesota corn crops are in better condition than other corn- belt states. "It's also worth noting that the August report has often been conservative," the economist said. "With the exception Cresco, and Don Rose, son of Mr. and Mrs.

Arbie Rose of Postville, were married Tuesday forenoon at Cresco, in the Catholic parsonage. Miss Lillian Meier of Postville has been elected president of Beta Alpha Epsilon, elementary education organization at the Iowa State Teachers college for the 1948 summer session, 50 Years Ago August 24, 1922 Mr, and Mrs, Don Lamborn, living north of Luana, have an 8 pound son, born to them August 14, Louis Waters who has been attending the business college in Cedar Rapids is home for a two ueeks vacation. Up at Castalia the Farmers Cooperative Society sold its building to Fred Dahms who had it moved to his farm. The motor bus is here to stay. It will be the future solution to short distance travel-mark our word for that.

Adelhaid Schmidt and Gottfried Kempf will be married by the bride's father in St. Paul's church next Wednesday. M. Mead is in West Union to attend the Fayette county fair this week, He tells us he hasn't missed the fair in 60 years. The five high herds in the Big- 4 cow testing association this month are Bert Sechler's mixed herd, Weihe's Guemseys and Shorthorns, Sanders Christofferson's Guernseys and Shorthorns, Lynn Gordanier's Shorthorns and Green's Shorthorns, Some of the farmers are bringing us sample ears of their field corn, and these would indicate that a goodly portion of this grain is now out of danger of harm by frost.

The past week or two has been ideal for corn and this section should have a bumper crop again. Barbara Marston is subs tit ut- iig as carrier on rural route 1 whjle her father, C. Marston, is on his annual vacation. And Keith Gray is assisting Postmaster Emma Nlcolay while "Fat" Meyer is vacationing with his mother down in Sabula, Iowa, and Prairie du Sac, Wis, of 1970, the August report over the last 12 years has averaged approximately two bushels per acre less than the final yield figure." Another factor strengthening the corn outlook is Russian purchases of U.S. wheat, Wisner said.

Russian purchases so far are reported to total at least 250 million bushels of American wheat, plus heavy volumes of Canadian and French wheat. As a result cash wheat prices In Chicago increased 20 cents a bushel during late July and early August. The higher prices will tend to cut down our domestic wheat feeding and slightly strengthen demand for corn during the coming year, Wisner noted that additional Russian corn purchases since early July have also slightly strengthened the price outlook for 1973. Even with the small Iowa crop, the extension specialist feels storage space will be tight this fall, "I've talked with a number of elevator operators in Iowa who feel storage will be a problem, and the August crop report seems to verify this feeling. Based on grain supplies in the state, including old crop, carryover will be up seven to eight per cent from last year," Check on local space available now so that you will have time to line up storage, put up newon- farm facilities or contract for harvest delivery if space is not available, Wisner advises.

The August USDA soybean crop forecast was lower than an earlier private forecast, but predicted a 1,270 million bushel crop or nine per cent above last year. The ISU economist said this should be a large enough bean supply to permit a reasonable increase in use next season. Recent bean sales to Russia were probably more important than the crop report. Grain trade estimates put the sales at about 37 million bushels, which accounted for the strength in soybean prices during early August. Plan Beef Carcass Show September 6 The Clayton County Beef Producers Association will conduct a carcass show for interested cattlemen on Wednesday, September 6, at the Elkader Salesbarn according to Elden Lenth, Postville, president of the association.

The event will be divided into two parts. The cattle will be judged in a live show and then will be judged again on the rail for carcass merit.

Bottles When Eugene Buckley of Ogden was digging a sewer line for a new home recently he uncovered numerous bottles and jugs, and a salt and pepper set that were in perfect condition.

Our world is a big place, and people, even close friends, can't always stay together. One day you had to say "goodbye" and go your separate ways. Since then, you've found new friends. You've also found an emptiness, a need, which people alone could not satisfy. We need a goal at the end of life's path and unfailing strength and guidance along the way.

Only God can fill this emptiness. Only God can be with you the entire length of your path. And when you reach the end? Only God can take you safely beyond. Come to church this Sunday. You don't have to walk alone.
