Population Center Bypassed by Nation’s Growth in Illinois Farm Field
In Clinton county near Shattuc and Ferrin the 1960 population center sits on Fred Kleibocker’s farm. The Kobler family runs 160 acres plus 120 more, with 60 Holstein cattle, and Dennis plans to stay on the land as the nation projects a new center after the 1970 census. Bronze markers mark the 1960 center, buried in the soil as awaiting the 1970 shift.

Trade Bill Likely Dies in Lame Duck Congress
The trade bill favored by Southern cotton and Eastern manufacturers faces likely death as delays in the lame duck session mount. Despite early Nixon administration support and a reported House passage, amendments in the Senate and global opposition threaten its fate and could trigger a broader trade war. Senators Mills and Thurmond say cheap Japanese imports harm Southern cotton and textile industries.

Seed Corn Supply Adequate if Acreage Isn't Expanded
Seed trade officials say blight resistant corn will be rationed for 1971 planting but overall seed corn should suffice if farmers do not sharply expand acreage. A new Farm bill loosens limits while requiring set asides for price support. Officials warn adequate total seed depends on resisting expanded plantings. reserves of feed grain may fall sharply by next fall. Fort Dodge event notes Max Dandy to address Iowa Guernsey Breeders meeting November 28 at Starlight restaurant.
