area, county officials Administrative Judge Ben Pyle of the Jasper County Court said Monday that selection of the 12-member jury would begin Friday. Proceedings could begin as early as Monday, he said. The three county administrative court judges agreed to the action after they were asked for a grand jury probe by Missouri Attorney General John Ashcroft. Investigators from Ashcroft's office spent five months in the Joplin area investigating the price-fixing receiving, complaints consumers, and persons who had knowledge of the oil industry, Pyle said the judges wanted to be certain that the grand jury was the best way to make sure the cases would be prosecuted. Ashcroft met last Monday with the County Court and prosecuting attorney Tom Elliston in an effort to persuade them to convene the grand jury.

Phone: 314 4M-M21. farm roundup don kendan AP Farm Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The super-crops farmers are harvesting this year, including record per-acre yields of corn, wheat and soybeans, are making some Agriculture Department officials wonder if those yields can be repeated for the third year in a row.

Crop production set a record in 1978, largely because of a then-record corn harvest. And few experts were saying publicly that farmers might have a repeat performance this year. Agriculture Secretary Bob Bergland was asked Monday how the farm situation might shape up in-1980. "It's going to be hard to imagine a year as good as 79," Bergland said. "Record-breaking yields, mostly all over the country; prices are tolerable nothing exceptional, but tolerable.

And when you multiply these prices with these yields farming is having one of the better years, some say the best," he said in a telephone interview with a group of farm broadcasters. "I don't know if that can be repeated because half of this (record yields) is the result of just good weather. I can't predict that, and certainly can't control it." But "one thing we can do" is to keep federal programs in place and continue the farmer-owned grain reserve "as a means of stabilizing prices and moving grains into the market in an orderly said. Bergland said, as he has before, it is not likely that a large acreage set-aside program will be in effect for feed grains next year. Bergland believes, as USDA projections indicate, that domestic and foreign demand for feed grains, "particularly corn, will be large enough so that in 1980 farmers will need to plant at a near-maximum.

According-to the latest projections, domestic and export demand will require about 7.44 billion bushels of corn in the 1979-80 marketing year that begins Oct. 1. That compares i the record harvest estimated last week of 7.27 billion bushels, meaning that more corn will be needed than farmers are producing this fall. On a tonnage basis, total grain demand in 1979-80 including wheat, rice and feed grains is expected to be about 296 million metric tons against this year's production of 285.4 million. That will mean a draw-down in U.S.-stocks to an estimated 61.9 million metric tons by the time new crops are ready for harvest next year, compared with the total grain left over this year of 72.2 million metric tons.

Another factor that is important for farmers, as Bergland mentioned Monday, is the grain still locked up in program. Under is stored by farmers for up to three years or until prices rise enough to trigger its release. Wheat and corn comprise most of the reserve a total of about 1.3 billion bushels initially and were both released earlier this year when prices rose high enough. But corn prices later sagged and its release was terminated on July 31. Bergland said the reserve program -has confounded its original critics who he contended now admit it is "one of the best programs ever to come along." Not only has the reserve been a boon to farmers, but it also has served as a buffer for export demands and helped assure foreign buyers that the United States is committed to being a dependable supplier of commodities.

The most recent USDA figures show that farmers who initially stored 732 million bushels of corn in the reserve program have redeemed from storage about 184 million bushels, about 25 percent of the original reserve. Wheat farmers have paid off price and redeemed about 156 million bushels or almost 38 percent of the 413 million bushels they initially committed to the reserve.
