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.

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.

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.
