Grapes Drop Interest as Control Board Seeks Farm Board Loan
Freano Calif Aug 22 Grapes show reduced interest despite earlier ripening. Control Board aims to apply to the Federal Farm Board for a loan to buy a surplus of about 76 600 tons of raisins at fixed prices from 5 to 9 per ton. Two dollars paid now, balance at season end if crop remains on vines. Growers object to low advances and many unsold to date. Farm Board limits and price supports create mixed hopes for relief and continued program implementation.
