Love your Mother, as they say, in honor of our planet.
The environment knows no national boundaries
when it comes to air and water pollution or the con
sumption of resources. Recently extinct species include
the dodo, the Arabian ostrich, and the Tasmanian emu.
The white rhino, cheetahs, and the polar bear are among
the endangered. Helen Caldicott, M.D., in If You Love
This Planet, suggests compulsory voting (as in
Australia) and political campaigns being 100% funded
by the federal government as two steps toward healing
our wounded planet. Edmund Burke
(1729-1797) cautioned, “The
/ j \ \ only thing necessary for the
\ \ triumph of evil is for good men
V to do nothing.”

Wheat hide dipped lower on harvest
pressure and spillover weakness from yes
terday's lower trend. Com bids were
slightly lower as forecasts still call for dry
ing conditions in the Midwest However,
declines were limited due to good export
demand. Soybean bids regained a small
portion of Tuesday's sharp losses as trad
ers felt corrections were needed. Wheat 1
to 2 cents lower and up to 16 cents lower in
Portland. Com mostly 1 cent lower. Sorg
hum mixed. Soybeans 1 to 4 cents higher.
Profit taking pushed wheat bids lower on
continued optimism for drier weather in
both spring wheat and winter wheat grow
ing areas. Harvest progress, now that
spring rains have slowed, drove wheat bids
lower. Spring wheat planting has been pro
ductive in many areas and is estimated at
70 percent complete overall. This figure,
however, remains lower than the average
of 98 percent Concerns over disease from
excessive rainfall still exists in winter
wheat country. Good export demand from
South Korea this morning offered slight
strength to com bids. However, profit tak
