Outlook For Corn, Soybeans There appears to be just about enough old corn to meet market demands at recent prices. USDA market analysts expect the carryover on Oct. 1 to be only about 360 million bushels. That is equal to about three weeks' normal requirements, but in practice it is no more than essential working stocks. Actually, no one knows how much corn remains on hand, or how fast it is being used. Those facts will be clarified on July 24, when the USDA publishes its estimates of stocks as of July 1. A sub­ stantial amount of new grain (wheat) is being fed to cattle in the southwest. Oats and barley will be available soon. The 1975 U.S. corn crop was planted a little earlier than usual, and much earlier than last year. Weather since planting has generally been favorable. The USDA survey of farmers planting intentions in March pointed to about 65 million acres to be harvested for grain. Private pollsters report a larger intended acreage. With normal weather we would expect 65 to 66 million acres for harvest and a yield of 88 to 92 bushels per acre. Total production could be 5.7 to 6.1 billion bushels. Demand, however, may be more uncertain than supply. Demand will depend mostly on the recovery of our own livestock and poultry in­ dustries, and on the crops in other countries. If forced to guess we would project disappearance during the 1975- 76 marketing year at 5,500 to 5,700 million bushels, and the , carryover of 1976 at 600 to 800 million. Producers will hold most of the supply, and therefore can exert a strong influence on prices - especially during the first half of the marketing year. Recent reports from around the world show increasing concern about weather con­ ditions in grain-producing regions. Some long-range forecasters have predicted that drought will be worse in our own country than in 1974. Other weathermen see no reason to expect an especially bad season. Soybeans There is no possibility of a shortage of soybeans before the new crop becomes available in September. The expected carryover of old beans has been raised from a skimpy 60 million bushels to 225 million. Farmers hold most of those beans. They should consider this question: "Who will want to hold that many soybeans on Sept. 1, and at what price?" Farmers' intentions in March pointed to about 56 million acres for harvest this fall. For six years before 1974, the national average yield was close to 27 bushels per acre. Thes<p figures point to a crop of 1.4 tbH.6 billion bushels.' Demand for U:S. soybeans may be slow because of reduced production of hogs, milk, poultry and eggs both here and abroad. Also because of increasing output of com­ petitive products - especially Brazilian soybeans and Peruvian fish. Disappearance during the 1975-76 marketing year could be 1,200 to 1,300 million bushels, and the carryover in 1976 some 400 to 550 million bushels. If these prospects materialize, producers will not have the price-sustaining power that they held last year. Wheat Outlook The world shortage of wheat seemed to be easing earlier this year. Prices of ^the less valuable grades declined to feed-grain levels, and appeared insight r by i Larry Swaim What is Sin? Dear Mr. Swaim: I have a friend who is a very fine person, but she feels that any activity which is the least bit enjoyable is a sin. These activ­ ities she disapproves of are not forbidden, necessarily, by the Bible, and personally, I don't see anything sinful in them, but she seems to infer that since I haven't given up some of these activities that she personally calls "sins," I likely to stay there. However, recent reports of unfavorable weather from several im­ portant- wheat-producing regions have provided some support for prices. Since there are no known reserves of food grains (wheat and rice) prices will be very sensitive to changes in prospective production. Freedom Train Visits Aurora When the twenty-six car American Freedom Train with its giant Southern Pacific locomotive comes -steaming into Aurora for two days of displays it will go directly to the Burlington-Northern railroad shop yards on North Broadway in Aurora. There it will be broken up into display sections so visitors may tour the ten-exhibit cars, the free glass-sided display cars and the huge 850,000-pound red, white and blue locomotive and its two tenders with a minimum of walking. The train, with its staff of 135, will be on display in Aurora for two days, Tuesday and Wed­ nesday, Aug. 12 and 13, from 8 a.m. until,10 p.m. The train is expected to arrive in Aurora late Monday, Aug. 11, to be ready for the 8 a.m. opening. The exhibit cars of the train are filled with some 750 priceless documents and ar­ tifacts related to American history, collected from museums and private collec­ tions all over the country. The display part of the train includes two glass-enclosed cars which visitors may study closely from trackside without charge; the other 10 cars permit ticket holders to go through on a moving walkway,. Each of these cars has its own sound system, with special stories and sound effects which visitors hear through in­ dividually held transistor "wands." The ten cars will cover the span of American history from the fight for independence up through the moon flights, with separate cars given over to city and farm life, the story of American resources, sports, the arts, and conflict and resolution. Advance tickets will be on sale in Aurora in mid-July and mail orders may be sent, with check and stamped, self- addressed envelope to the Aurora Bicentennial Com­ mission, 23 East Downer Place, Aurora, 111. 60506. must not really be a Christian. The word "sin" literally * means missing the mark, fail­ ing to live up to the standard that God has set, as if there were a target set up, you were aiming for it and missed it. The Bible does reveal the v target or goal toward which each of us aspires. None of us reaches it; all of us fall short. The Bible teaches "All have ^sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Also, "There is none righteous, no, not one." Our responsibility is to know what God expects of us. This knowledge comes only through His word, the Bible. By studying the Bible we can find out what is good for us and what is bad for us. The Bible opens to us the mind and will of God, and describes for us the best kind of life we can possibly live. There are many people who try to speak for God, and in doing so place taboos on certain things which may be perfectly legitimate for a person to practice. We should be v£rv careful about brand­ ing aVsimihings which are not specifrcaily called sin by the Bible. Many well-meaning Christians have created genuine problems for their children and have cast suspR cion upon all of Christianity because they have failed to distinguish between \yhat is sin and what is in the area of personal judgment. We should oppose all that the Bible op­ poses, and call sin by its rightful name, but we should never set ourselves up as the standard for what is right and wrong. Rather, we should al­ low the Bible to speak for itself. For a confidential and Bib­ lical answer to your ques­ tions, write Larry Swaim, 985 Ponce de Leon Avenue, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30306.

There's rarely a festival, a fiesta, or a fair held anywhere without the familiar balloon vendor strolling through the crowd, selling happiness for a few pennies. Parents buy them for their kids and young men present them with a flourish to their girl friends. Just why a balloon is so much fun isn't clear, but one thing is certain-- the pleasure never lasts. The air leaks out, balloons unexpectedly pop, careless fingers send them soaring away forever. But there is a far greater pleasure to be found fhat will last for an eternity. It is the happy pursuit of a Christian life arid you cdh find out all about it this Sunday -- in church.
