DALLAS. June 3@P)-Produc-
ton continuing rampant. with fig
ures for the past week revealing the
proration allowable exceeded more
than 100 per cent, conditions in the
east Texas oil field still were be-
fuddled today. although oil men
believed it vas likely all factions
would get together on some con-

All observers blamed the recaicit-
rant East Texas pool for dragging
Mid Continent crude prices 10 the
lowest level since 1912, when drastic
cuts were made effective Monday
By big purchasers. This action fol-

% the East Texas field last week
when purchasers making the re-
auctions frankly stated the chaotic
conditions caused by disrespect for
the state railroad commissions
p~roration orders moved them to cut
prices and, in some instances. with
draw from the field altogether.
Governor Sterling still had not
made up his mind about the nee
essity OF calling an extraordinary
session OF the Texas legislature TO
strengthen laws under which the
railroad commission is authorized
to enforce orderly takings Of oil.
he held conferences with both
factions, those clamering for strong
er legislation and the side favor
ing wide-open operations, and SEEM
ed sanguine Of achieving some plan
endorsed by all that would obviate
a special legislative session and
restrict production to a basis &C
ceptable to producers and pur-
chasers.
The East Texas advisory commit
tee voted TO ask the railroad com-
mission TO increase the present al
lowable OF 10000 barrels daily to
between l75.000 and 200.0 bar

not been acted on. r. ID. Parker.

with any moral welfare legislation
but it is not so easy to offer a
workable substitute. My expert

May 2 gave maximum protection,
but the new leaf growth will be ex-
posed to the primary infection by
the discharge of scab spores which
occurred on May z and May s. In
regard to the codling moth situa-
tion, observations by DR.. l.. A.
Stearns, entomologist of the Della

that the pupation was generally
delayed throughout the state, and
no emergence has been recorded at
any of the observation points, al
though one emerged moth was re-
ported at the insectary in Camden,
on May z, and about Is percent
pupation is reported to date. All
fruit growers are being warned
again concerning the Importance
of housing all used baskets and
other containers, and the closing
of packing houses during the en-
ergence period of the spring brood
of moths. Scraping of trees should
be completed Immediately, and
those bands which were applied
