"During the summer months the farm is a prime target." Johnson said. "Usually both the husband and wife are working in the field, leaving the farm wide open."
He said most of the stolen property was sold in Lawrence, Topeka or Kansas City.
"I'm going to be kind of worried the next four or five months with the economy the way it is," he said. "Most of the thieves are unemployed, have been in trouble in the past and are looking for some easily pawnable items to turn into cash."
ANOTHER FARMER, Eugene Nunemaker, RPD 4, said that the thieves were looking for expensive equipment such as chain saws or riding lawn mowers.
A few years ago Nunenmarker had 2,000 in tools
scales, which has forced him to take precautions
before he can do his job.
"It creates a great problem now, when you have to drive a tractor two or three miles from where you are working in a field so that you can park it overnight where it can be safe," he said.
Two houses near fields he was working in recently had been burglarized.
"It's a pretty good setup," Numermaaker said.
"Somebody can drive by and see the farmer working in the field and then go and rob the house."
He said he had also had a problem with vanillalism. He had a tractor that had the radiator
JOHNSON SAID rural crimes were getting harder to prevent because of the increased turtles.
"Sure you can fix it up, but it's still terribly maddening to drive up and see that," he said.
With Clinton Lake and a town full of college students, farmers are a lot of out-of-county students.
However, most of the crimes in the county are not committed by college students he said.
Rural contacts with college students usually come when a resident complains about a party in a rural area or about road signs that have been run over or taken, Johnson said.
Mark Brothers, a Lawrence Police Department crime analyst, agreed with Johnson.
of Lawrence were committed by burglar, who usually operate inside of the city.
He said about 10 percent of the crimes outside
BUT BROTHERS said as the cities got better in fighting crime, the criminals would move out in the city.
"Small communities are not going to have it as easy as they used to," he said.
Johnson said he had encouraged farmers to call the sherrif's department when they saw any damage.
Two detectives follow through on burglary cases and thefts in the county, and five deputies patrol the city.
"We've been lucky because farmers as a whole have tightened their belts," Johnson said. "They have padlocked their fuel supplies and moved their buildings where they are less likely to be stolen."

The state's highest court said the order was entered with the consent of the former New Jersey congressman and his attorney. The

CELEBRATE THE NATIONAL DAY OF THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA ON OCTOBER TENTH
AS AMERICANS WANT THE LAND TO BE UNIFIED WITH FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY, WE CHINESEWOULD LIKE TO SEE CHINA TO BE UNIFIED WITHOUT COMMUNISM AND MARXISM.
It is a story mixed with blood and tears about the growth of the REPUBLIC OF CHINA since it was founded in 1911.
Even though the Chinese people were sacrificed in disasters, they continue to keep the characteristic tradition of humanism without communism.
We believe that under the freewill choice of the whole Chinese people,the democratic and free life style is their desire.
The responsibility of the Chinese people who are living in Taiwan is to stimulate the ideal to come true.
In this moment, all the students from Taiwan would like to express their appreciation to KU for providing guidance and knowledge. Studying here is a memorable period of time for us. We also want to say:
MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA!
