UNIFORM SPEED.
LIMIT PROPOSED
FOR ALL STATES
Safety Conference Sets
| so M. P. H. as Tops

A uniform national speed limit
Yor automobiles was approved here
yesterday by a committee of the
national conference on street and
highway safety.
Night driving was given special
consideration by the group in its
efforts to reduce traffic fatalities.
LIMITS PROPOSED
Speeds proposed by the group
as safe would limit day driving on
open highways to so miles an
hour, night driving to As, and
speed in residential and business
areas to rs miles an hour.
All of the proposed limits, how
ever, would be subject to existing
conditions to determine if such
limits constituted reckless driving.
Such speeds in heavy traffic,
over blind hills, through fog and
other hazards would constitute
reckless driving, even though the
limit was not exceeded, it was
pointed out.
CONDITIONS VARY
On the other hand, the group
took into consideration varying
hig way conditions throughout
the country and stated:
"A higher daylight limit may
be proper for certain States,
such As Western Plains States,
where higher speeds are safe
over much greater percentage
Of the rural highway mileage
because of favorable physical
and traffic conditions"
The national conference is hold,
ing its annual sessions at the
United States Chamber of Com
merce offices.

Farm Prices
Increase Three
Points in Month

Local market prices OF farm
products in mid-September were
generally higher than a month
earlier, the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics reported today. The in
dex advanced 3 points during the
month to 95 per cent of pre-War,
the same as in mid-July. The index
as of September Is was % points
under a year earlier.
Nearly all groups advanced the
month ended Sept. Is, but the in
creases generally were small. Fruit
prices declined, however, from Aug.
15 to Sept. Is and the cotton and
cottonseed index remained un-
changed.
Grain prices in mid-September,
at 63 per cent of pre-war, were l
point higher than a month earlier,
but 48 points below the September
1897 figure. Small advances in
wheat, oats, and barley slightly
more than offset declines in corn,
rye, and rice.
Cotton and cottonSeed at 60 were
unchanged from the August figure
and 5 points under a year ago.

More than 2300 tons of hay were
shipped from Imperial Valley to
Los Angeles during the past week
as compared to 301O tons shipped
the previous week, according to
the weekly report of the Federal

Alfalfa markets were steady to

Quotations at Los Angeles re-

generally showed a Strengthening
situation due to an increasing hold

alfalfa were mostly reported late
in the period in the Imperial Valley

ranch with an occasioned sale indi-
Gated at $1,000.
Sales of similar grading hay in

Termifes Offer
Big Problem

A false feeling of protection
against termites exists in Califor-
mia, due to the ordinance which
requires creosote treated lumber
below the first floor sub-floor.
Pressure treatment protects the
lumber that is actually treated;
it does not insure protection to the
balance of the building.
Termites have been with us since
prehistoric times, and are here to
stay.
Eternal vigilance is needed by the
owner of a new or old building
to keep the pests out of the struc-
ture.
Those are the findings of the
Termite Investigation committee of
the Building Contractors Associa-
ton of southern California, given
today in a report compiled after
months Of study. Edward Thayer
is chairman Of the committee, which
is composed of w. E. Reynolds, Vern
r. Huck, Don S. Ely and Don H..
McCreery.

Market Outlook Poor

Don Sandilanos, secretary of the
Desert Citrus Exchange, in defend
ing prorate said: Market outlook
is none too bright at the moment
because of large acreages of Texas
fruit. A prorate is the only conceiv-
able method by which the prices
NAV be held at a fair level"
Independent growers, however
pointed to prorates in other COM
modities. Cantaloupe industry tried
the prorate and it did not net a
profit. The prune prorate was a
failure and the grape prorate did
not hold grape market prices as
high as markets were in previous
years, they contended.
Roland Ballou, a neutral observer
explained. however, that market
conditions in past years were moi
comparable to present conditions
mo one likes the prorate," Ballou
said. but when market conditions
are below normal a prorate is the
last resort
California VS.. Arizona
S. r. BaShaw, grower in the
Ten-Foot drop area, opposed the
plan because he said a prorate
would turn a portion of the Cali
fornia market supplied by Impe-
rial Valley over to Arizona growers
Imperial Valley marketed all OF
its fruit last season." Bashaw said
"and Arizona had many thousand
field boxes in surplus
Association growers insisted that
Imperial Valley did not market all
of its fruit last season.
One neutral observer pointed out
that Texas, not Arizona grapefruit
has Quilted the market and thereby
created a tremendous oversupply
U. S. Greatness
United States attributes its great
ness to lack of economic blocks be-
tween states" an extension Servic'
specialist said, land it seems to b'

ers to attempt to stop Arizona iron

heated arguments among the grow
ers and shippers of the three dis
trictS.
Independent growers in the
Coachella and Imperial Valley op-
posed the prorate almost unani-
mously. A few Yuma and Phoenix
independents tabled the proposed
prorate as undesirable.
Exchange and association grow
ers favored the prorate in Yuma,
Phoenix and Imperial county. As
sociation growers in oCachella were
on the fence.
The Post-Press, in an attempt
to uncover both sides of the pro-
rate argument, conducted a survey
this week to obtain reactions OF
independents and of association
member growers.
Government Control
Independent growers opposed the
prorate because government agents
would be allowed ~ dictate har-
vesting policies under the prorate
and because association growers
would have slight advantage over
independents under such a pro-
gram, they said.
j. E. Harshman, independent
grower in the northend of the val
ley. declared: II oppose the pro-
rate because I believe that the
Citrus exchange desires to control
grapefruit shipments to the ad-
vantage of their orange growers"
John Dubois, an ASSOCIATION men,
Der and a firm supporter of the
prorate, pointed out that many
Grange growers in the exchange are
also grapefruit growers. I'VE grant
that oranges and grapefruit COM
pete for the same markets, Dubois
said. "but growers would not sacri-
flee grapefruit groves to aid an
equal acreage of oranges.
Neutral observers pointed to the
orange prorate. "If oranges were
not prorated, then it would be un-
! fair to prorate grapefruit" one
authority explained.
