MORE SUPPORT FOR MILK LAW Corvallis, Ore.. Jan. 21 UP) Ore gon's controversial milk control law drew additional support from the state dairymen's association today as a result of action taken at con cluding sessions of the annual con ference here. A resolution, voted against only by Frank Hettwer, manager of the Mount Angel creamery, held that milk control stabilized the market without putting retail prices out of line with other foods, that it in creased the price to producers, and that it insured an adequate supply of clean milk. Hettwer also cast the only nega tive vote on a resolution favoring a law to require creameries to report extent 01 butter "over-run. George Fullenwlder, Carlton, was chosen president of the dairymen for the sixth time and a resolution thanking him for his services was passed. It was voted to hold the next annual conference in Coos county. Other resolutions passed asked for a 95.000 appropriation for an inves tigation into the cause of crumbly butter estimated to cost the state 940.000 annually); favored a law providing for the licensing of scrub bulls, and asked compulsory cream grading as soon as all elements of the industry unite on a program. BERRY CONTRACTS WILL CARRY RIDER The Oregon Loganberry Control board yesterday made provision for a rider on the loganberry contracts under the board, the rider providing i ivei gt, u,e Hason for ' like size, grade and quality of berries will be the price to be received under the contract. The rider Is added to protect buyers In event the minimum price set by the control board Is re duced during the season. It is be lieved the rider will strengthen the situation between buyers and sellers and give a confidence in early buying not now felt. The board fixed no price yesterday although it was informally discussed. Price matters wil be taken up with canners after their return from the national convention In Chicago, a number leaving today for that city. While proposed changes in grades were discussed they were deferred pending meetings at which discus sions of hte report of the governor's committee on fruit marketing will be had. Possible crop damage by the late freeze was also discussed but it was agreed It Is still too early to deter mine the extent of the damage, if any. Checkers are Played Scott Mills John Fry, William Fry and Avrll Fry and John Imel of this place and Fred Wamock of Sllverton were entertained with checker party at the George An derson home In 8llverton. Three tables were In play. Fred Wamock won by one point and George An derson and Avrll tied In second place. REPAIR LEVEE aV a ' iasw abx u -Mil a aP J 'I FLORIDA FRUIT HELD DOUBLED BY WEATHER Lakeland, Fla., Jan. 31 (JP) Ploti da struggled with the problem of its greatest "year of plenty,' brought on largely by "spring' that came In winter. Ideal weather conditions doubled the production of nearly everything the state produces. The difficulty of disposing of It profitably has wor ried growers and cooperatives, and the problem is not yet solved. Citrus fruits presented one of the greatest problems. The total pro duction or oranges, grapefruit and tangerines for the current season was estimated at 38,700.000 boxes, an increase of 9.300,00 boxes over last season. Cabbages are so plentiful the bureau of agricultural statistics said "Prices have been too low to warrant shipment." String beans totaled 3.560,000 bushels compared with 1,800,000 last year. The cel ery crop was estimated at 3,052,000 crates, whereas last year It waa 1,- 733,000 crates, and strawberries In creased by 300.000 crates to 644,000. A bumper tomato crop is in the off ing. Another record was being made in the state aa the season progresses the greatest amount of canning. the state has known, seven hun dred million grapefruit are being given "tin skins," it was estimated. GRAIN PRICES ABOUT STEADY Chicago, Jan. 31 U.R .Reports of more favorable weather conditions in the southwest checked buying on the Chicago board of trade today and prices held about steady. At the close wheat was hi cent lower to cent higher. May S1.30tt, new com was unchanged to cent lower. May $109H, old corn was to S cent lower. May $1.07, and oats were unchanged to U cent lower, May 51 lA cents. ! The Chicago market opened with substantial gains on buying induced by an advance at Liverpool. The fact that buying was not very broad encouraged short-selling by local speculators and prices reacted. The new crop months were rela tively weaker than the May because of pressure brought on by news of beneficial moisture in the south west. Liverpool started sharply higher on a broader continental demand but eased later to close to 1 pence higher in response to heavy shipments from Argentina. Buying by exporters caused a rally at Win nipe. Reports indicated a real improvement In the demand for wheat in the United Kingdom, fol lowing the disclosure that Italy has acquired a substantial part of her requirements. A moderate volume of selling, be lieved to be hedging against pur chases of Argentine corn gave fu tures a soft undertone. The May delivery lost a cent a bushel while the deferred months held barely steady. Bullish weather forecasts and a good demand for the cash article had little effect on prices. Other grains showed little activity ; and In general held around previous closing levels.

The stockholders of th Farmers' Fire Relief association will have an all day session on Wednesday, Jan uary 37. ITALIAN GRAIN CROP PARTIAL FAILURE Rome, Jan. 31 VPI Authoritative reports say Italy will be forced to buy at least 1.000,000 tons of wheat abroad this year to offset a bad harvest. Hundreds of thousands of bush els, well informed sources said, were contracted for In Australia and Canada as early aa July, when Pre mier Benito Mussolini Issued ur gent order that every available acre In Italy be sown to wheat to forestall future shortage. Italy's annual wheat need Is about 1500000 tons. Until recent ly th nation had been virtually slef -sufficient, filling th margin of deficiency with importations of Hungarian wheat, but this year It must seek further aid abroad be cause of a crop of Inferior quality and 2B per cent below th average oi tne last tnree years.
