Agriculture Director Robert J. "Pud" Williams said, "We've seen cases where the discount for fourteen bulblets of garlic in wheat would be 50 cents at one dealer and only a penny per bulblet at another." Farmers are docked on the number of bulblets per thousand grams of grain. Last year Williams attacked heavy discounts which ran in some cases more than ten times the previous year's level as "totally unreasonable."

He was cited for distinguished meritorious service from July 1961 through June 1965. on," the director said. "A lot of times the grain was unloaded before the farmer realized how much he was getting docked. I would advise anyone to get a firm price and know the discount before they start unloading. Once it's in the bin, the negotiating is all oyer." Williams said that any far­ mers who wanted to know the quality of their grain could have it checked at any of the department's grain testing facilities in Shawneetown, Fairfield and East St. Louis.

The history of the organization started in 1953 with the Mercury Thunderbolt corps. In 1961 the Imperials of St. Patrick were formed in Milwaukee. With the rapid expansion of the drum corps program, the corps made an agreement to reorganize into a combination of three groups in 1973. The Thunderbolts and St. Patrick restricted their membership to ages 11-14 and developed musicians for a new group temporarily called "The Thing" because of its massive size. Its success was immediate, locally and nationally. In 1974 the official name "Pioneer" was adopted. Winning an associate membership in Drum Corps International climaxed a successful season. The corps has been finalist in such prestigious shows as the U.S. Open in Marion, Ohio, the International Open in Butler, Pa., and the World Open in Boston, Mass. U TAKE THE TRAUMA OUT OF TRAVEL!
