If your heart could talk, what would it
say to you? Would it’s monologue go
something like this? "It gets harder and
harder to get going in the morning. You
know old (your name) just takes me for
granted. He doesn't know how hard I
have to work to keep him up and around.
Guess he thinks I can just work forever
no matter how he treats me. Well, I've
got news for him, I'm not going to be
around for him always if he doesn't take
better care of me."
"Just look at this breakfast, that bacon,
eggs and buttered toast. The cholesterol
this man eats would choke a horse, and
it's about to choke my arteries. And the
sodium in all of that will have his blood
pressure skyrocketing and send all that
blood rushing in here faster than I can
pump it out. He pours salt all over
everything without even tasting it first.
It wouldn't do any good if he ate healthy
food when he adds salt and fat to
everything he cats. He’s been doing this
to me for years."
"This man thinks exercise is lifting his
coffee cup and punching the remote
control button! And these fast food
lunches he eats are killing me. I keep
hoping he will try some fresh fruits and
vegetables. I haven't had those in ages.
But no, he loves fried foods, big steaks
and gravy. If he would just at least TRY
some low-fat milk, salads, lean meat,
and less fattening desserts. It’s a sure bet
that his wife will outlive him at this rate.
Just look at the differences in how they
cat."
"And that smoking! That’s a sure-fire
way to wear out the old ticker. I thought
if I slacked off and started to cause him
pain that he would realize the seriousness
of our lifestyle but he just ignores it and
goes ahead with the habits he has had all
of our lives."
"This man is hopeless. I think it’s
about time I gave him a real jolt to wake
him up. Sometimes it takes drastic
measures to get people to change a
lifetime of bad habits. It may be time for
me to retire after having to work so hard
under such adverse conditions. I just
may quit work tomorrow morning and
not even give him a chance to plan a
retirement party. Wonder how he'd like
that?!"
Has your heart (or your wife) been
saying these things to you? (I'm not just
picking on men since women have heart
disease, too, and risk goes up after
menopause.) Heart disease is the number
one killer in the U.S. and in Swisher
County.
Lifestyle habits related to diet,
smoking, lack of exercise and high blood
pressure are heart disease risk factors
that you can control by changing your
behavior. It is amazing how fast some
people who survive a heart attack can
begin to make changes in their lifestyle.
Why wait until you have the heart attack?
For some, the first heart attack is the
LAST!
February is National Heart Month.

Happy News
By Mary Neal Henry
According to U.S. officials, it is
becoming increasingly unlikely that the
U.S. and China will hold more talks on
protecting copyrights for intellectual
property before the Feb. 4 U.S. imposed
deadline for sanctions. China has not
responded to U.S. Trade Representative
Mickey Kanto’s invitation to continue
talks in Washington this week to avoid
imposing 100 percent tariffs on a list of
about $1 billion worth of Chinese goods.
Trade sanctions against China would
have very little effect on the U.S.
economy, making it’more likely that the
U.S. will follow up on its threat to
impose tariffs, analysts said.
According to one market watcher, if
sanctions are announced, it will take
about a month before they are actually
imposed which could allow additional
bargaining time. However, trader:: seem
nervous about the lack of a settlement,
not knowing how the sanctions might
affect the cotton industry.
Adding to the jitters is the fact that the
threat of a trade war follows Cotton
Outlook's confirmation of an earlier
report that the central government of
China will subsidize the importation of
2.3 million bales this season.
The Pakistani government has decided
to allow duty-free cotton exports,
although exports may not be feasible
this season given Pakistan’s tight supply
situation, sources said.
The decision, in effect, would
liberalize Pakistan's cotton market by
allowing the private sector to export
without the restrictions of a government-
set minimum export price. But whether
the private trade will find enough supplies
to export from the weather and insect
reduced cotton crop is uncertain, the
industry source said.
On the home front, spot markets sales
of Texas/Oklahoma cotton on TELCOT
for the five trading days ending February
2 totaled 8,334 bales, up from the
pervious week’s total of 5,907. Average
daily prices received by producers selling
on the electronic marketing system
ranged from 79.37 to 82.22 cents per
pound.
US DA announced export sales of
1994-95 U.S. cotton increased a net
89,300 bales in the week ended Jan. 26,
down from the previous week's figure of
153,400 bales. Featured buyers were
China, Hong Kong and Indonesia.
Higher prices for upland cotton, up 14
cents per pound from a year ago, means
increased income for producers and
savings for the taxpayer,'according to
Grant Buntrock, active executive vice
president of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture's Commodity Credit
Corporation.
"Strong world-wide cotton demand,
combined with poor crops in competing
foreign countries, have caused upland
cotton prices to rise in a relatively short
period of time," Buntrock said. "This
results in increased profits for producers
that will translate into less cost for
taxpayers in deficiency payments."
This week, USDA released the final
farm prices for the 1994-95 upland cotton
crop. The resulting average price
received was 68.28 cents per pound. If
this average is subtracted from the target
price of 72.90, an estimated final
deficiency payment of 4.62 cents
remains.
A year ago, USDA estimated the final
deficiency payment at 12.90 cents per
pound and advanced more than the
resulting final deficiency payment, they
now owe USDA 1.83 cents per pound.
However, USDA announced, last
week, a projected deficiency payment
rate of 3.7 cents per pound for the 1995-
96 upland cotton crop. If producers are
allowed to take their 50 percent advance,
the resulting payment will be 1.85 cents
per pound, thus offsetting the shortfall
for 1994.
Meanwhile, the International Cotton
Advisory Committee (ICAC) raised its
projection for 1995-96 U.S. cotton
production by 1.2 million bales to 20.'
million and raised exports 400,000bales
to 9.2 million. ICAC lowered world
production to 85.1 million bales and
lowered world consumption to 86.9
million, both down 300,000 bales.
The largest adjustment in the ICAC
* supply and distribution report was in
Pakistan where the crop was lowered by
a half million bales to 5.7 million.
China was the other feature as its
exports were lowered by 200,000 bales
to 500,000, although the USDA estimate
is 550,000 bales. ICAC doubled China’s
imports by 1.4 million bales to 2.8
million, however, USDA pegs Chinese
imports at 1.85 million.
