'Fixed' debts overload income If you have too large a portion of your income going for "fixed" debts, you may be suffering from debt overload. That happens when you don't have enough money left over for emergencies or flexible ex penses. How can you tell if you, or your family has debt overload? Well, it happens when you have to decide each month who to pay and who to put off, it happens when creditors are calling, it happens when family members continually fuss over money, and it happens when you've used up your line of credit on your cards. In fact, when your monthly payments on fixed debts are up to more than 15^? of your monthly take-home pay, you're skating on thin ice. So try to reduce credit payments to no more than 1(M& of your mon thly take-home income. Stop charging and pay off outstanding debts as quickly as possible.

Savings Plan The beginning or the year is a good time to take a long look at your savings plan. Do you have some rainy-day money set aside for an emergency? Do you have a so called contract with yourself to save so much a month? Do you have a monthly savings plan that will help you achieve a certain goal on a definite date? Goals can be short term, such as replacing a car - or long term, such as paying for a child's tduuatmr**'" ?"**?* ? .* -i*-* Of course, every family's sav ings plan will be different. But this strategy might work for you. First, set aside an emergency fund - one that's the right size to make you feel secure. Two or three months income in such a fund is a general rule of thumb. Second, figure out how much you'll need to set aside every month to reach a certain goal.

Nichols, Exten sion Economist, NCSU, soybean prices are expected to trade sideways to slightly lower in the next few weeks with January futures ranging between S5.85-S6 per bushel. A weak demand for soybean meal, coupled with a greater than expected Malaysian palm oil crop, has resulted in a downtrend in prices for meal, oil and beans. Soybean meal usage, particular ly from domestic consumers, is ex pected to increase as a result of the low price level. With increased usage of soybean meal and reduced export demand for soybean oil due to its unfavorable premium to Malaysian palm oil, the meal/oil relationship should return to a Extension I News Willie Featherstone Jr^m County Extension Chaiimww more normal level. In the longer term, this could encourage increas ed domestic crush. Soybean end stocks based on current usage rates is projected to be about 215 million bushels. This level does not indicate ex treme tightness in the market, but it docs suggest that prices could rally to the S7 area, especially if problems develop with the Southern Hemisphere crops or there is an unexpectedly large de mand for oil or meal in world markets. Continue to look for acceptable prices to move beans that are now in storage by determining what price you must have to cover all costs and receive a fair return to your investment. Corn prices are expected to stay in fairly narrow range during the next 3-4 weeks averaging between S2.75-S3. in Central N.C. markets. With the crop now in storage and the supply well-known, usage rates hold the key to corn prices during the next six months. Feed use is expected to recover from last year's depressed level by 6-9^i, but grain consuming livestock numbers are the lowest in 10 years. Prices offered for 1985 crop corn are at or below the loan rate and are not attractive at this time. Producers storing corn to sell or feed should check for hot spots and moisture condensation regularly every two weeks while it is in storage.
