 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Thursday, August 01, 2002 VOL. I Issue 8A CIRCULATION DEPT. BUSY RESEARCHING Since putting in the counter from Bravenet.com, the newly formed Circulation Department of The Holabird Advocate has done a small amount of research on who reads the paper. It appears that users of Microsoft products enjoy reading The Holabird Advocate as nearly 87% of the readership has a Windows OS and 100% use Internet Explorer. As for the names of these people, we can only guess. Time will tell which times and days of the week are most popular. So far it seems to be the 7am and 7pm hours and Tuesday. Of course the counter only reveals the first visit of a computer so logging in 10 times a day won't interfere with research. OUT WITH THE SUNFLOWERS IN WITH THE CORN Darrel Hinkle is taking advantage of the good sunflower prices to empty out the bins and get ready for winter feeding by putting corn inthe bins. Hay prices are at $100/ton right now so Darrel believes that $2/bu. corn would make it $80/ton. And corn has more feed value especially in the wintertime. Darrel doesn't anticipate a shortage of his own hay, which the cattle will still need for roughage and beding when the snow comes. Grazing is good now, but nobody knows for how long. ON THE ROAD AGAIN by Hiram Gonagan Harold and Mary Hinkle have really seenthe sights in Austrailia.They have hiked along the Pacific Ocean at Noosa National Park and looked at the surfers. The deep sea fishing voyage they had booked was unavoidably canceled due to high winds and waves.Instead about 12 in the group took camel rides along Laguna Beach. The food is very good in that area as they have been served a different desert every night. The dessert ussualy involves ice cream in one form or another. The next trip on the agenda is a snorkeling trip to Cairns. That promises to be fun.
