Poultry, Dairy Price Decision Must Come Soon WASHINGTON, UP) The government must decide soon whether it should permit prices of some dairy and poultry pro ducts to go down or to hold them at current levels. The decision will be made in connection with producer price support levels for these products In 1950. Because of big supplies and large production, prices are down to or near levels guaran teed farmers. The new farm law going into effect Jan. 1 permits the agri culture department to lower sup ports on milk, butterfat, eggs, chickens and turkeys. Under expiring legislation, these pro ducts had to be supported at 90 per cent of parity. Parity is a legal standard for measuring farm prices, designed to be equally fair to producers and those who buy his products. The new law permits the de partment to support prices of eggs, chickens and turkeys any where from zero to 90 per cent of parity. Milk and butterfat must be supported at prices between 75 and 90 per cent of parity. Some department officials have predicted that secretary Brannan will lower support, on all these items, but with eggs taking a larger cut in price guar antee than other products. The department now faces the pro spect of a loss of $90,000,000 on surplus eggs bought last year and this year to carry out the price guarantee. The present support program is designed to assure producers In the midwest the region o f surplus production an average of 35 cents a dozen for general run, ungraded eggs. Some mar ket and farm sources expect this fuarantee to be cut to at least 0 cents for 1950. Busy Bees Produce 11 Percent More In 1949 CORVALLIS, UP) The busy bees lived up to their reputation this last season, but their owners aren't too happy about it all. With their working force down 2 per cent, the bees boosted their national output of honey by 11 per cent at no increase in pay or pensions. Just as miners worry about conversions to oil, so beekeepers are concerned about the fickle ness of the public in deserting honey for more glamorous sweets. Though during the war people grabbed every drop of honey at any price, now shelves full of honey are going begging at prices far below costs. Agricultural economists at Ore gon State college take a dark view of the future, since this year's bumper crop plus that left over from last year provides 350 million pounds, while average use for hot cake sweetenin', candy and the like is only about 190 million pounds. Sorriest outlook Is In the realm of the "birds and the bees." Or chards and seed crops don't flourish unless the bees are there to help. r i i i i i i I i i 1 I Radiator Service I I !j I I I' I Repairing Cleaning Recoring Boil Outs HANSEN MOTOR CO.

Publisher Frank E. Gannett, of Rochester, N. Y., said in re marks prepared for the presen tation that the negro second baseman's career "stands out as a glowing example of American ism at its best." "In no other country In the world could Jackie Robinson do what he has done here," Gannett said. "The Communists speak about 'equality' in Russia, but it's equality that means nothing. It's equality of poverty, of op pression and suppression." The Brooklyn Dodgers star was chosen for the annual award for "outstanding contribution to the betterment of race rela tions."
