Plan Now For Next Year By: David English Even though farmers haven't finished harvestingandtnarket ing this year's crops, in IXi pUn County, it's not too soon for them to begin planning how to sell die things they"ll raise ne xt season. This is especially tr ue If producers want to co nsider new marketing methods not locally available and dis cuss them with those in the trade with whom .hey normally There are several forward ma rketing methods by which far mers can fix their per unit pr ices for 1974 crops, either now or at a later date when the ma rket looks best to them Market demand ;or food and fiber at home and abroad is signaling the need for full pro duct Ion next year.

Maintenance Supervisors Asked To Conserve Fuel Oil visor for the ftplin County sch ools, will be ssUqg principals, teachers, and students to hop him in conserving fuel oil so that schools can be heated dar ing the cold weather. "The State now has approxi mately 19 million gallons of fuel oil in storage, and we have been able to get at least half of what we got last year from major oil companies." Denning noted "This supply, coupled with the conservation program we are recommending to schools, should be adequate." A list of SB fuel saving ideas has been sent to all mainten ance supervisors in the State. "Most of them are common sense." commented Denning, sometimes fdrge?when they arc in school building*. "We ate suggesting that students become involved by being assigned to keep certain doors and windows closed,' Denning added. Other common sense ideas for saving fuel include keeping thermostat settings around TOo F. and restricting settbg ther mostats to as few people as pos sible. Keeping thermuftats in good repair, weather stripping doors and windows, and adding storm doors and windows are other practical suggestions. "Although maintenance per sonnel ate the only ones who can do specialised work on the furnace ouch as checking steam traps and radiator valves, prin cipals, teachers, and students must all cooperate in conser M t :.i" I:- ; f A*.; vtng fuel," Denning said. "We are encouraging principals to make sure they understand all heatipg controls and to stress jflgjyiSP 10 3WP and Students and teachers are being encouraged to dre& for cool temperatures during cold wea ther and to have controls adr justed accordingly rather than opening windows when class rooms are uncomfortable. "We hope that students can be made aware of fuel shortage problems through poster contests and classroom activities," said Denning. "There's no doubt that coo serving fuel must be a coopera tive effort among all school per sonnel . Our maintenance sup ervisors have the technical ex pertise and, we hope, an ade quate supply of fuel to heat schools during the cold winter months. But principals, tea chers, and students must coop erate in conserving fuel to guar antee an adequate supply.
