No Changes foreseen In Farm Prices WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 (IP) The bureau of agricultural eco nomic! laid today average farm prices now - at their highest point in 25 years will show lit tle change for the next few months. The bureau's report also said that markets for farm produce will continue near boom-like levels at least until 1946 crops become available in Europe and Asia. It added that domestic demand for food and farm products, par tially unsatisfied during much of 1943 because of rationing and price controls, is expected to continue large despite a prospec tive small decline in consumer incomes. - Experts, which rose to about three times their 1935-39 level during the war, are likely to be maintained at or near their war, time level during the next few months, the report stated, pro vided means for financing are . made available.

' Livestock Marketings of meat animals for slaughter dur ing the early part of 1946 will ' be large, but prices for all classes are likely to continue near the 1945 levels during the first half of the year. In 'the second half unit prices to farmers and ranchers for sales of all classes of meat animals, except possibly lambs, are likely to average lower than in the same period of 1945. Dairy Products The demand during the first Quarter of 1946 ' is expected to be the strongest since outbreak of the war, part ly because of the removal of wartime restrictions on produc tion and consumption.

Oranges, grapefruit and lemons go buck, under price ceilings to morrow, and OPA plans to take plenty of time before authoriz ing any future control suspens ions. A high official of the agency, asking that his nnme not be used, said that "because citrus prices rose like they did, wo are going to be exceedingly careful about removing any more ceil ings." ,N The order restoring citrus ceilings, announced Inst night, was issued ,fter a month of argument by OPA that the action should be taken, and contentions up.-to the Jast few days by the agriculture department that it should not be. Even after agriculture officials agreed, they held out for making the order effective Sunday. OPA favored putting it on the books today. ; Disputo This dispute went on all day yesterday before a compromise making Friday the effective date was reached. In holding out for Sunday, the agriculture department took the position dealers should bo given a chance to dispose of citrus fruit for which they paid more than the ceiling prices which were suspended last November IB. OPA noted that the original suspension order had warned that ceilings would be re-established without warning if prices were not kept in line. Stabilization Director John C. Collet finally ruled there was no justification for holding up the order until Sunday. An OPA official said that un der a plan for re-establishing retail ceilings, prices for citrus may be a little higher for a few days than they were just before the suspension. This will lost, he added, only until retailers are back on the usual basis for calculating ceilings. . At all sales levels except re tail, sellers are required to re turn Friday to maximum prices which were In effect when con trols were suspended. WINNIE TO ARRIVE '! .MIAMI BEACH, Fla.. Jan.
