Farmland Industries Faces Big Profit Losses
Farmland Industries projects fiscal year profits of 40 to 50 million dollars due to a weak fertilizer market and disappointing grain marketing results from Far-Mar-Co. The Kansas City cooperative, the largest in the sector, posted over 3 billion dollars in sales with petroleum leading at 691.1 million and fertilizer contributing 441.1 million in 1977. Weather, overcapacity, and low prices trim crop demand, delaying planting and dampening Far-Mar-Co’s export ambitions after its 1977 acquisition.

Chaplin Grave Reburied In Private Ceremony In Switzerland
The body of Charlie Chaplin was reburied today in a concrete underground vault at Corsier-sur-Vevey cemetery after its theft twelve weeks earlier. Only the widow Oona and a few Chaplin children and officials attended, with no public ceremony. Two suspects, a Polish refugee and a Bulgarian refugee, face trial on extortion and disturbing the dead. The coffin was moved from the cornfield where it was found last week.
