Melon Producers
Seek Extension
OF Price Ceiling

Explaining that IAN act of God,
the April frost, will delay melon
harvest this year, growers of Imper-
ial. Yuma and Blythe Valleys Sat
urday prepared to ask the OPA to
extend the early season price CELL
ing 80 days so they may get the
benefit the OPA intended them to
have.
Based on records OF the beginning
of the melon harvest each year
since 1884. the growers explained
that the frost suffered in the three
valleys in April will delay the seas
on 80 days and, unless the OPA
extends the period of prices accord
ed them during the early part -of
the season, they will suffer loss.
They asked that the maximum CELL
ing price be extended to June %.
Normally the first melon shipments
begin the lirst week in May, the
growers said in Tileir official appli-
cation for the extension, but this
year the first shipments will not be
made until the first week in June,
The application does not deal with
watermelons.
Last year the FOB price on Jumbo
crates through mid-June was So to
50 as compared to the present maxi
mum ceiling of SS95.

TEST NEW CONTROL WING
FOR SMALL-TYPE FLAMES

DETROIT, April 27. CUP) - A
revolutionary method of airplane
control, known as the Spratt con-
trollable wing, which may greatly
simplify flying a small-type air.
craft is being tested by the Cen
solidated Vultee Aircraft Corp, at
Dearborn.
The new wing" I. M. Laddon,
executive vice president, said, will
not be applied to small personal
planes until exhaustive tests have
been completed"
The wing which will bring great
er safety and easier handling to a
plane utilizes the principle that a
wing may be moved relative to the
airplane around two pivots in such
q manner as TO give control with
out separate control surfaces being
used.
The experimental wing is 26 and
one-half feet in length and has
not yet been planned for use on
large planes due to the fact that
the pilot must move the mass Of
the wing under his own strength.
