a little Christmas music.

Children a park im-
provement group set up a
display at the park to allow
parents to review pictures
and plans of the group's
playground and landscaping
proposals. Donations were
also accepted.
The weather was windy
but warm which perhaps
explains why Santa did not
bring his reindeer since
jthey prefer cooler weather.

U S. farmers had failed to
raise enough of the crop to
take care of domestic
demand.

Farmers Discuss Purchase
Of Bartlett Grain Facility
Last week the Marek
Brothers grain facility in
Bartlett went up on the sale
block amidst rumors that a
number of firms andor
groups of farmers might be
interested in the property
A group of farmers and
businessmen met recently to
discuss the possibility of set-
ting up a corporation to pur-
chase the facility but a
spokesman for the group
would only comment that
the group was taking a wait
and sec attitude
A representative of Far-
mland Industries was also in
the area recently discussing
with local farmers the
possibility of a local
cooperative which might be
involved in marketing grain
as well as selling oil fer-
tilizer and feed to farmers.
Farmland is owned by
local cooperatives
throughout the United
States and wholesales fuel
fertilizer and feed to local
co-Ops. It also has become
Involved in marketing of
grain in recent years.
Damon Berry the Far-

visited Bartlett. said only 10
or 12 farmers would be

together He said the co-op
could start small and build
up as it grew

Allan Pcrsky another

mors to get together to build

Persky was one of the
organizers of the Hoi Bart
Gin at Holland which Is a
corporation of farmers and
local businessmen
Persky feels the present
farm situtation makes
raising money a problem
right now
He said farmers are In
terested in building a grain
facility hut Just do not come
through with the money
when it is needed
However he conceded that
the Hoi-Bart Gin did s ell and
that a farmer-owned grain
facility would probably also
be succcsssful
With the Marek grain
facility already up for sale It
appears unlikely that local
farmers would have enough
time to raise money for its
purchase
However the possibility
exists for future action
