will ask the legislature next month
tc appropriate $1014,882 to carry
on its farm labor recruiting and
housing activities during the year
beginning July l, state finance
director James S. Dean announced.
The figure, more than S750,000
under the amount being spent in
the current fiscal year, was deter
mined at meeting of the council
in Berkeley, Dean said.
The largest item in the councils
budget is $310,688 for transporta-
ton of laborers and maintenance of
a motor pool, Dean said. Other
items include $293,l50 for con-
Struction and maintenance of labor
camps, $4,000 for purchase and
remodeling CT housing, $2l7, ,794 for
administration and $50,715 for as
SiStance to counties.
The council expects to spend

all but $4,000 in payments from
farmers hiring laborers, Dean said.
A total of 35 camps were oper-
ated by the council last year with
4400 men housed in camps directly
administered by the state, Dean
disclosed Another $4,000 men were
housed by programs in which the
state cooperated
The council was able tc reduce
its budget from last years figure,
Dean said, because it has on hand
nearly $1,000000 worth of movable
and stationary buildings.

Cucumber, Bean

Imperial Valley farmers have re-

nounced slightly higher retail
prices for snap beans and field
grown cucumbers. The order be-
comes effective next Monday.
The price rises amount to about
a cent a pound for snap beans and
slightly less than two cents for
cucumbers. Poor weather condi-
tions resulting in a curtailed crop
and higher production costs made
the price increases necessary, OPA
