Girl Scout Cadette Troop No. 651 increases of eight to 10 per cent in the coming year may not hold true in light ot commodity price decreases, according to Realtors sur veyed by the National Association. Farmers accounted for nearly 60 per cent of the buyers of the 108,800 farm transfers nationally in the past year, according to the USDA. And, since farmers are the land market segment most directly affected by lower commodity prices, they now are less likely to consider purchasing land for farm expansion, a Realtor in Ames, lowa explained A recent USDA survey of the Plains States and Colorado, Montana and Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 15,1977 Minnesota revealed that more than the usual number of farm borrowers are ex pected to face cash flow and credit problems this year. This could lead to disposal of some farm assets, and could result in having more land available for purchase. The Ames Realtor noted a marked increase in the amount of farm acreage listed tor sale dui mg the past 45 days as “investors take stock of current prices and decide to liquidate.’’ A Realtor in Olivia, Minn., WHATS MEW DRUM AND BARREL TRUCKS Potter Safety Drum and Barrel Trucks are designed to handle a wide assortment of different drum and barrel sizes in complete safety, with such added bonuses as easy loading and unloading, convenience of use with pallets, and easy pushcart type operation, says the manufacturer. The key to this ease and safety of operation lies in the use of a set of auxiliary wheels. These small back wheels prevent risk of the loaded truck falling back wards to the floor when raising the load; they also allow the operator to raise the front wheels up for easy loading onto pallets, over curbs and obstructions, etc. Since all four wheels support the load when it is being moved, the operator has no weight to support and need only push the truck.
