Harvesting Rice

Almost all rice today is har-
vested with combines at moisture
content of approximately 2Oa. This
rice has to be put through driers
to reduce the moisture to 13 or l4%
before it can be safely stored. This
has required a tremendous invest
ment In combines, driers and stor-
age elevators. The Arkansas rice
industry alone has invested ten to
twelve million dollars during, the
last six years in providing modern
facilities for handling its rice crop
by this new efficient method.

Mr.. Moylan said that the regula-
ton sets a base price for potatoes
for all producing areas-including
Delaware. The base price for "home
grown" potatoes is 1855 per 100 lbs.
for No. Is, with adjustments pro-
vided, upward and downward, for
differences in grades, sizes, and
type of packing. Retail prices will
be determined by the addition Of
transportation charges and distri-

Delaware's acting OPS chief
said that prices of other fresh
vegetables are also being carefully
studied, to determine the pOssibili-
ty of other reductions. He explain
ed that OPS is prohibited by Fed
eral law from establishing ceilings
on farm commodities until their
selling prices pass parity-as in
| the case of potatoes. Parity is a
price aimed at providing farmers
fair return for what they sell in
relation to what they buy.
