Strawberry Ceilings
To CurtoiI Grodinq
5y The Associated Press,

NORFOLK, Va, May 8.-An OPA
ceiling price of $7.7O a crate to
growers is likely to result in little
or no grading of strawberries during
the early harvesting period, John B,
Senter, secretary of the Virginia
Potato and Vegetable Growers Asso-
citation here said.
heretofore, early pickings have
brought fancy prices which kept
growers from losing on their crops
as the market dropped toward the
end of the season, he said Better
grades have been going as high as
$ll, he said.
All grades now will probably bring
the ceiling price, which will cause
growers to be much more lax in
grading the berries, he said
The local crop is expected to be
marketed in the next two weeks.

0PA Eases Price Rules
For Baking Industry
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Conditions under which producers
of bread and bakery goods may OBJ
tain an increase in maximum prices
were eased today by the once OF
Price Administration.
Effective May 13 a producers
ceiling may be increased If it is be-
low the general price level prevail
ing In his trade area and loss Of
production would cause the public
to pay higher prices for a similar
product. However, such an increase
may be passed on at retail.
At present, a producer applying
for an increase is required to estab-
lish that local shortage would
exist If he discontinued production.
Some bakers have been unable to
do this, OPA explained, because
while their own production may be
small, combined production in their
area is substantial.
