GREAT BRITAIN ASKED

From u. S.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
Modification by the British govern
ment OF the recent ban on importations
of certain classes of American apples
because Of the apple fruit fly is being
sought by the State Department.
Secretary StimSon has discussed the
embargo with British Ambassador Sir
Ronald Lindsay and instructed Am
baSsador Dawes in London to take the
question up directly with the British
foreign Office.
The modification is being sought to
alleviate undue hardships" imposed by
the embargo.
A statement by the department last
night said it had been pointed out to
the British government that no apple
fruit ny infections were believed to have
been found since the rigid inspection
system was imposed last Fall by the
Department of Agriculture.
: A special appeal was made for the
exemption from the embargo of apples
from the West Coast, it being pointed
out that that area is not infested by
the ny. In addition, it was pointed out
that the &C" grade for boxed apples
requires exactly the same freedom from
insect pests as the extra fancy or
fancy.
The hope was expressed, therefore.
that his majesty's government will be
willing, in advance of the coming sea-
son, to make such q modification of its
recent order as will admit, under certifi-
cate OF inspection, at all seasons of the
year the recognized Official grades of
American apples above the unclassified
and certified combinations of those
grades" the statement said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July l2.-With
the tour through the wheat belt this
week by Secretary of Agriculture HYDE

Board, preaching the gospel of reduced

tered in the producers attitude toward
the proposal.
Unquestionably there is much oppo-
sition TO any dictation or suggestion
from the Farm Board as to crop
methods. However, the price level of
wheat has been a great disappointment
and 1t is realized that something must
be done II better times are to come for
the wheat grower.
Three sections are differently At
