The exchange rece btly opened for busi ness in new quarters in the city's Financial District, complete with upgraded computer equipment, twice the space and a view of the. trading floor. It marks the first time in years that the public has been allowed into the exchange. Its old trading area simply didn 't have a place for them.

' The Boston exchange was found ed in 1834 as a m;n-ket center for lrading stocks of New England-based co mpani es.

Writer : COLUMBUS (AP)- Parry Cochran is not your typical farmer. : He's young. · At 27, the Wooster grain and dairy cow farmer is barely half the age of the average Ohio farmer, a(!l:ording to the 1997 Census of Agticulture released last week by federal farm officials. And at just over 53 years old, th~ average Ohio farmer is a year older than when the census was last completed five years ago. : In addition, 15 percent of Ohio farmers are over 70, while just 9 percent af!: under 35, the census shpwed. · That troubles state agriculture officials. · "A Jot of things in Ohio start with agriculture," said Howard Wise, exec· utive assistant to Agriculture Director Fred Dailey. "If we are to have an agiicultural future in this state, we have to have farmers," Wise added. If not, local food processors, livestock operations and other agribusiness· es' will have to rely on out-of-state feed and other raw materials. That, in turn, increases costs and leaves Ohio companies vulnerable to shortages and transportation problems. ' ' But working against the state's policy of encouraging young people to begin farming are incredibly high startup costs and the reluctance of bankers to grant loans to newcomers to the risky business. Often, the only way for young people to get into the business is to inherit the family farm. · ' _Cochran's family didn't have one. . "I learned by helping out a neighbor while I was in junior high," said · cOchran, who started farming in 1993 on leased land with equipment shared with his neighbor. He and his wife, Susie, lived in a rented house. Then he heard about the Family Farm Loan Pro$ram, created by the Legislature last year as a $5 million test project. . The program, which is authorized through June 30, guarantees up to 40 percent of loans - up to $200,000 - used to purchase land, equipment or bu.ildings for farming. The borrower must be credit worthy and demonstrate kno'Yiedge of the type of agriculture he or she plans to go into, but unable to qualify for a regular bank loan. The guaranteed portion of the Joan also carries a lower interest rate. · The Cochrans, who closed on their 100-acre farm about five miles west of W<ioster on Dec. 30, were among the first to apply. Owning the land is cheaper than leasing it, Cochran explained. And they don't have to worry about the landowner selling the property they fal11)ed out from under them if a developer came by with plans for. a shopping mall or housing development. "It gives us a little breathing room," he added. So far, state officials have received 10 applications, approving eight for a total of $507,250 in loan guarantees, said Mark Anthony, spokesman for the Ohio Department of Agriculture. Anthony, though, figures interest will pick up as more banks and paten- · tial borrowers hear about the program. More than 500 people have called for information. Anthony hopes more of them are like ttie Cochrans, young people who just want to get a foot in the door. "It's far from glarnorous," Cochran conceded. "I don't plan on getting rich. I just want to raise a family, and do something I enjoy." Today In History By The AMocllted Preas Tooay is Monday, Feb. 8, the 39th day of 1999. There are 326 days left in the year.

The Boilermakers battled back twice to close the gap to eight points, but could not get close r. " We cam·e out wilh fresh legs and a lot of energy," O'Brien said. "Our aggressive defensive play was the reason we got out to a big lead . We guarded hard the entire game and we're n,ot going to entirely control a team like this fdr a whole game." Purdue trailed 75-67 ' with 3:06 r,emaining on Jaraan Cornell 's threepointer, but Scoonie Penn hit a threepoi nter with 2:40 remaining to make it 78-67. Penn fini shed with 15 pomts and Jason Singleton added 14. "It was a totaltealh effort," said Ohio State's Mt chael Redd , who scored 20. " It wasn't just me and Scoonic . The whole team showed up . The last two games we played (against Purdue ) it's been o ur quickness. That's the advantage we've had over a lot of teams this year. We arc a step quicker and that heiped us tonight. " Cornell led the Boilermakers with 18 points, while Carson Cunningham had 15 and Brian Cardinal finished with 12. The Boilermakers got as close as three points three different times in the opentng half, but Neshaun Coleman's three-point buzzer beater to end the .half gave Ohio State a 4934 lead .

"I hope we win th,e Daytona 500 this year, but I believe tf you do the work and give your very best effort , you need to accept the results. I try not to get too overwhelmed by winning and not to get too eate n up if things don 't go as they should ." Asked if the dominating victory, his first in 73 stock car starts· at Daytona, is the stari of a new era for him here , Martin grinned and replied, " I don ' t know, but I su re feel good for Jack Roush.

"My timetable on that is still the same," he said. Elway and Denver teammate Jason Elam combined for 16 points in the AFC's third straight Pro Bowl win. Elam was perfect on field goals of 23, 46 and 26 yards. , Law returned an interception 67 yards for the other AFC score, and also made five tackles and broke up three passes. Law dedicated the game to Patriots' teammate Robert Edwards, who dislocated. his left knee Friday and underwent surgery after being hurt in a flag football game on Waikiki Beach. The injury may jeopardize the 1999 season for the Patriots' rookie runner, who was not on the All-Stars but came to Hawaii · to participate in the beach game and other Pro Bow l-related activities . " Robert Edwards is a big pan of 4 our team and that's the most important thing going on right now," Law said . His co-MVP, Johnson, had seven catches for 87 yards. Members of !he winning squad got $25,000 each, twice as. much as the losers, and Johnson, who brought some 20 relatives and friends to Hawaii for the game, said he needed the money. ·'J had to win so I could cover all my expenses, plane tickets, hotel rooms, food," !he Jets' wide receiver said. Although Johnson shared the MVP Award, Minnesota rookie Randy Moss was the game's leading receiver, with I 08 yards on seven catches. The NFL great he 's al'ready being compared to, Jerry Rice of San Francisco, had five catches for 60 yards. In contrast to Elway 's crisp per- formance, the other all-star quarterbacks had trouble moving the ball and threw a total of six interceptions three by the Jets' Vinny TeStaverde , two by Minnesota's Randall Cunningham and one by Atlanta's Chris Chandler, who threw three a week earlier in the Super Bowl. Law's return of the interception off Cunningham, putting the AFC up 17-3 . in the third quarter, probably was the key play of the game. Denver wide receiver Ed McCaffrey made another big play, as a tackler. Dallas' Deion Sanders intercepted a Testaverde pass on the final play of the half and returned it 87 yards before McCaffrey ran him down at the AFC four. McCaffrey said catching Sanders from behind "was one of the biggest thri of my career.
