Farm secretary Block says conflict could aid exports of U.S. grain
U S Agriculture Secretary John Block told a University of Illinois audience that war between Britain and Argentina over the Falklands could curb Argentina’s grain exports and push buyers like the Soviet Union to seek more U S grain. He warned the grain market could evaporate overnight while noting ongoing farm economy strain and potential bankruptcies. Block, inducted into the Lincoln Academy of Illinois, also commented on the federal acreage set aside program and uncertain farmer compliance.

Malaysian students find a niche at SIUC
About 800 Malaysian students study at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, making up a third of SIUC’s international cohort. Factors include strong ties with Malaysia and MARA programs, plus peer recruitment and a wide course selection. Climate, local town size, and culture shock influence their adaptation as they pursue bachelor’s and master’s degrees and even one-year military training exchanges.
