sessing, or selling liquor or medicat-
ed alcohol for medicinal purposes,
industrial alcohol for scientific, me-
chanical, chemical or other permit
ted purposes, or wine for sacramen-
tai purposes, as provided herein,
nor to prevent a wholesale druggist

hospitals, state institutions, colleges
and laboratories for purposes not
prohibited herein"
1t specifies that liquor for medici-
nal purposes can only be sold by the
retail druggist on a doctors pre-
scription.
The bill throws numerous safe
guards around the selling of liquor
for medicinal purposes. Every drug
gist securing a permit must provide
a $500 bond. The druggist must
keep a record of all sales of liquor
and the physician must keep a rec
ord of the prescriptions he has is
sued, to whom, date of issue, amount
and ailment of person securing the
prescriptions.
The penalties for violations are
provided in sections of the Klair
law which this bill would not repeal.
The bill was referred to the tenn
perance committee and 1000 copies
of it ordered printed.

satisfactory prices received last sea-
son as a result of extremely heavy
production. Grape production is ex-
pected to continue heavy and new
vineyards should not be set out ex-
cept where conditions are extremely
favorable.
Hog producers have more fav-
orable outlook this year. The market
supply of hogs is not expected to
change but the domestic demand is
expected to continue strong. Hog
prices are likely to be maintained
near the 1926 level. The dairy in
dustry is on a stronger basis than
a year ago and dairymen are likely
to have a moderately favorable
spread between the price of feed
and the price of dairy products. Egg
and poultry producers in most sec
tions of the country may expect a
fairly satisfactory year. A moderate
increase in egg production and nc
decrease in poultry marketing is ex-
nected,
