ARGENTINA HELPS
THE CORN MARKET
South American Govern
ment Agrees To Price Aid
On. Future Grains

CHICAGO, June 9-lR- The Ar
gentine government again h S
agreed to support prices in the
corn market, the United States De-
partment of Agriculture reported
today that such support was con-
tingent upon several conditions
aimed to encourage crop diversi-
fication.
A decree effective May IL au-
thoriZed the gram BOARD to pur.
chase 1941-42 crop corn on the cob
at guaranteed price equivalent to
33 cents a bushel, shelled basis,
delivered in the port of Buenos
Aires. Last year the guarante ed
pirce was So cents.
The conditions imposed wer e
aimed at a reduction in the acre
age planted to corn, wheat, lil,-
seed and sun flower seed. The gov
ernment indicated that while it
wished to be consistent in it's pol
icy of aid to corn producers, who
constitute the bulk of the rural
population, it found difficulty in
continuing the purchase of crop
for which there was no expor
market.
Producers were urged to diver
sify their operations in favor of
mixed farming, cattle breeding
and dairying. With this object in
mind a supplemental decree au-
thorized the bank of the nation to
grant loans up to 3 $40 cents a
bushe1 on corn produced by farm
ers who agreed to use the money
for the purchase of cattle, hogs
and dairy farm equipment.
Another supplemental decree al
located 29,800,000 to a national
agrarian council which will ad-
vance loans to farmers who agree
not to grow wheat, corn, flax and
sunflower seed without permission
of the council and agree to use
the money for the purchase of
land in the corn belt for colonial
ton purposes.
The government announced it
had no intention of purchasing the
entire 1941-42 corn crop, estimated
at 362,000,000 bushels, but would
scale purchases in proportion to
the acreage planted to corn-the
greater the acreage, the lower the
percentage it planned to buy.

There can be no question that
USO had rendered most valuable

in the recognition accorded to USO

Colorado Utilities
To Be Sold By NGE

PHILADELPHIA, June 9.-lR,.-
The National Gas and Electric
company filed with the Securities
and Exchange commission today
a proposal to sell for $4,000 in
cash its interest in its subsidiary,
the Greeley Gas and Fuel COM
pany, of Colorado.
The three purchasers named
were James G. Barkus and Keith
Kindred, of Chicago, and James c.
Tucker, Austin, Tex, who will buy
s160,000 of Greeley six per cent
first mortgage bonds, due 1895
and 400 shares of no par value
common stock.
Consummation of the sale will
give each Of the three buyers a
one-third interest in the Greeley
company.
Proceeds from the sale will be
used by National to redeem $780,
900 of its ten-year five per cent
first lien collateral trust bonds,
series B, due 1947.
The SEC set June % for a hear
ing on the proposed transaction.
NEW YORK COTTON
NEW YORK, June 9.-(P)-Cot-
ton futures closed $1.80 to $500 a
bale higher today to halt sagging
price tendencies which went url-
checked for three previous ses-

Traders, unable to explain news
factors in the upturn, attributed
the reversal to a technical recov-
cry.
Buying came from trade, mill
and New Orleans interests. Intro
duction of a senate bill calling
for mandatory loans at full parity
caused further bullish comment.
Recent declines had carried the
spot position down to the year S

Montana Is High
In HOneV OUTPUT

Montana again leads the nation in
honey produced per colony with an
average of 128 pounds per colony al
ready taken from hives, according to
a preliminary report issued by the
bureau of agricultural economies.
The high production per colony
gives Montana fifth place in honey
production In the IL western states,
and in contrast to an expected 10
percent decline in total q. S. produce
ton Montana is expected to show a
substantial increase in honey pro-
duction over 1941.
Prices received for beeswax through
out the nation averaged 40.3 cents
per pound. The sharp increase over
the 1871 price is due mainly to the
demand for beeswax in the manu-
facture Of munitions and to the in
creased need for honeycomb founda-
ton, the report stated.
