Grain Prices Continue Rise 1 Trading Shows Less 1 Vigor Than Tuesday But Finish Strong CHICAGO, June H.-OTVGrain Trices continued to rise Wednes day but with less vigor than Tues day until the last few minutes of trading when a burst of short covering put wheat up to highs Since May 25. Soybeans showed more strength than did cereals throughout the session, being up more than a 'cent early and later showing net gains of almost 3 cents, July con tracts reaching $1.79y4, highest since May 29. The late upturn in beans stimu later short covering in wheat, which closed 3,i-l cent higher than yesterday, July $1.21, Sep tember $1.23-. Reports of improved flour de mand as a result of yesterday's price rise helped wheat while there was further follow up buy . ing based on Washington rumors of a possible compromise between the farm bloc and administration Involving higher loan rates for basic crops and congressional ap proval of government wheat sales for feed at prices below parity. Reports of possible government support of processed soybean pro ducts stimulated buying of that commodity. The g o v e r nment announced 1943 wheat acreage allotment would be 55,000.000 acres, the minimum permitted, but asked that a portion be seeded to other crops. No reference was made, however, to special benefit pay ments to encourage this diversion.

McNary. The telegram was addressed to William J. Lin foot, secretary of the Oregon berry growers control board. McNary said he had held con ferences with officials of the fed eral agricultural department and the marketing division was draft ing a -letter to the office of price administrator specifying a ceiling price to be paid for frozen, can ned and preserved farm commo dities. The berry growers, at a meet ing here recently, sent telegrams to McNary and other members of Oregon's delegation in congress urging that some action be taken by the government to protect both the canners and the producers. Current prices were said to be below the cost of production. Kenneth Hess, from the quar termaster's department of the army, is slated to confer with Linfoot Friday in regard to prices and possible uses of fruit and fruit products.

One man who has placed a great many pickers in different patches thinks the crop is about 35 per cent of what was expected. One grower sold $500 worth of berries to the cannery off a five acre patch last week and he thinks his berries are better than usual because of plenty of mois ture in the ground. Ripening has been slow and some thing that the season will be short as the berries will ripen fast if the sun shines. Berries grown on a very sandy, low tract were docked as much as 20 per cent by the cannery be cause of their being so dirty. When it rained the light soil spat tered on to the berries. Such dirty berries are not ripened evenly and are often bad under the dirt. Complaints have not been so much that the fruit was rotting as that it was slow in ripening, dirty and hard to pick. Prolonged rain made cultivation difficult and the weeds grew so fast the berries had to be gone over several times.
