WAR A BOON TO AMERICAN FARMERS FIGURES SHOWING EXPORTS OF CONDENSED MILK DURING THE PAST THREE YEARS HEAVY INCREASE REPORTED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF HOSTILITIES IN EUROPE As the department of commerce continues to ignore our foreign trade for the years 1912 and 1913 under republican law, the following statement is issued to supplement the department's figures on condensed milk exports, recently made public. (Those countries to which one million or more pounds were exported in 1915 are here considered) Exports of condensed milk, pounds, for fiscal year ended June:— 1912 1913 1914 1915 Cuba... 7,370,000 6,466,000 6,191,000 8,391,400 England... 1,200,800 1,475 300 4,015,100 Belgium... 3,332,900 Japan... 1,931,000 150,900 259,000 2,738,200 Netherlands... 450 2,565,300 Philippines... 3,065,800 1,350,900 1,937,000 2,531,800 China... 1,212,500 1,049,500 1,080,500 2,496,500 British S. Africa... U. S. UNDERTAKES TO BRING TOGETHER THE JOBLESS MAN AND THE MANLESS JOB The United States government now has under operation its newly organized national employment bureau through which it hopes to be able to bring together the jobless man and the manless job. The service is free, distance is no object, the postmaster will act as employing agent and the government will do the rest. In carrying out this work the post-office department and the department of agriculture are cooperating with the department of labor. Wm. B. Wilson, the secretary of the department of labor says it is one of the biggest projects the government has ever attempted, and he is confident of its success, not only in finding employment for the unemployed but in putting the right man in the right place. In an article on the subject, Mr. Wilson says: "I earnestly commend the facilities of this bureau, not only to any and all employers but to all individuals seeking work. Women can make use of it as freely and readily as men. The success of the entire plan now depends upon the willingness with which the average wage earner seeking a position will make use of the government's aid in getting the job. Employment blanks have been sent to all postmaster of the country and to every field agent of the department of agriculture. These blanks may be had upon request. Employers will state upon them the number and kind of employees they are in need of, and employees will specify, in turn, the kind of work they want. It makes no difference what kind of work it is; it may be housework, stenography, farming, bricklaying, cooking, domestic help. The blanks will, upon their return, be assorted and classified, and then the department of labor, through its division of information will make effort to bring the wage earner and the job together. Mr. Wilson tells how the government recently found employment for 630 Germans who applied for work. Eleven hundred and seventy-four Germans applied to the New York distribution branch for agricultural work." England... 1,200,800 1,475 300 4,015,100 Belgium... 3,332,900 Japan... 1,931,000 150,900 259,000 2,738,200 Netherlands... 450 2,565,300 Philippines... 3,065,800 1,350,900 1,937,000 2,531,800 China... 1,212,500 1,049,500 1,080,500 2,496,500 British S. Africa... 460,900 487,500 479,700 1,867,300 Russia, Asiatic... 1,139,900 1,863,400 1,683,000 1,830,4 Panama... 1,276,900 1,364,000 1,463,800 1,389,400 All other countries... 2,984,900 3,792,225 3,114,350 6,077,300 For the fiscal year 1912, a full year under Republican law our exports of condensed milk amounted to 20,642-700 pounds. For the fiscal year 1914, the exports fell to 16,209,100 pounds a decrease of over 21 per cent. Exports to Cuba remained fairly constant for the years 1912, 1913 and 1914 while 1915 marks an increase of 33 per cent because other sources of supply were shut off. Exports to England fell from 1,200,800 pounds in 1912 to 300 pounds in 1914 and rose to over 4,000,000 pounds in 1915 showing first the paralyzing effect on our export business and second the part which the war played in the revival of this industry. There has never been any appreciable export of condensed milk to Germany nor to Belgium nor to the Netherlands. But in 1915 Belgium got 2,332,900 pounds provided by the Belgium relief fund while to the Netherlands went 2,565,300 pounds. How much of that to the Netherlands ultimately found its way to Germany it is impossible to say. Exports to the Philippines decreased from 3,065-800 pounds in 1912 to 1,937,000 pounds in 1914 because the Islands were drawing on Australia for their source of supply. When the British embargo on food stuffs out of Australia cut off this supply our exports to the Philippines rose to 2,531,800 pounds. This embargo also gave us the opportunity to more than double our exports of milk to China to quadruple it to British South Africa and to increase it somewhat to Asiatic Russia in 1915. These countries had depended largely upon Australia as a source of supply. Condensed milk is supplied to Panama by the U.S. government on government bids which give American kind of work they want. It makes no difference what kind of work it is; it may be housework, stenography,farming, bricklaying,cooking,domestic help. The blanks will upon their return be assorted and classified,and then the department of labor through its division of information will make effort to bring the wage earner and the job together. Mr. Wilson tells how the government recently found employment for 630 Germans who applied for work.Eleven hundred and seventy-four Germans applied to the New York distribution branch for agricultural work.of whom 630 were directed to employment on farms. These workers are distributed to 23 states at an average monthly wage of $23.23 and board and lodging,a monthly compensation of $14,534.9o,tо say nothing of food and quarters. The outcome of the experiment will be watched with much interest and with hope for its success. WILL ESTABLISH STATION ON SANTIAGO The Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce will establish a station on Santiago Peak above Trabuco ,with a concrete stone house，registration book,and telescope if present plans are carried out,and there seems every likelihood that they will be.At the last meeting of directors of the chamber,a letter from Forest Supervisor S.W.Ywnee giving permission to erect the house，using all the ground and rocks necessary，was read,and Secretary Metzgar was given permission to work out the plan.A well attended hike to the Peak two years ago demonstrated the beauties of the section,and the plan includes building of the concrete and stone house，an annual chamber of commerce hike to the Peak,and later an automobile road to the top，5680 feet above sea level.On account of its scenic beauties,the trip is one which will appeal to nature lovers,and the Santiago Peak station will no doubt be a popular rendezvous for county residents and tourists.W.H.James and George Bolos were elected to membership.W.B.Williams reportedthe supervisors would put the 27 medals won at the San Francisco fair on exhibition in the chamber of commerce at Santa Ana,and as soon as they arrive,a case will be fitted up for them.H.J.Forgy,H.A.Gardner and L.J.Carden were appointed the nominating committee to make nominees for the comming annual election of officers.Secretary Metzgar was appointed the local member of the appointed the Santa Ana member of the Orange Show committee. EXPORTS BREAK RECORDS Exports valued at $188,036,458,bY far the largest volume ever shipped from an American port during a single month.left New York harbor during on food stuffs out of Australia cut off this supply, our exports to the Philippines rose to 2,531,800 pounds. This embargo also gave us the opportunity to more than double our exports of milk to China, to quadruple it to British South Africa, and to increase it somewhat to Asiatic Russia, in 1915. These countries had depended largely upon Australia as a source of supply. Condensed milk is supplied to Panama by the U.S. government on government bids which give American products the preference. Hence the supply to Panama has varied but little. The democrats free listed condensed milk, promising a lower price to the consumer, a result which has never come about. In 1912, under the republican tariff rates, we imported milk to the value of $61,600. In 1912 three months of democratic law, the imports amounted to $135,700. In 1914, with milk on the free list, we imported it to the value of $1,089,000, and in 1915 it rose to $2,556,780. Nearly half our importation in 1914 came from Canada, nearly a quarter from the Netherlands, and nearly one-tenth from England. Today Canada has the market for almost the entire importation. The market is right at her door. There is no risk of loss by shipment, and she does not have to pay a stiver of revenue into the U.S. treasury. More than $2,000,000 worth of milk, the bulk of it being condensed milk, imported from Canada and scattered among the states bordering on the Dominion, exercises a very depressing effect on the condensed milk industry in this country. This accounts for the announcement of former Consul H.B. Miller, made some months ago after a survey of the milk industry in the Pacific Northwest, to the effect that a change from condensed and evaporated to malted milk production was the only hope to hold out to those engaged in the milk industry in the Pacific northwest under a democratic free trade tariff. EXPORTS BREAK RECORDS Exports valued at $188,036,458, by far the largest volume ever shipped from an American port during a single month, left New York harbor during November, according to statistics announced at the customs house. The November figures exceeded those for October, which were themselves a record of more than $12,000,000. Customs officials were surprised to learn that during November the imports at this port were $97,666,815, about $22,000,000 greater than the October imports. However, a considerable portion of these imports were free goods class, and notwithstanding the volume, duties for November were less than for October, with imports of $75,000,000. SOUTHERN COUNTIES GET MANY PRIZES Capture Most of the Awards at the San Francisco Exposition The seven Southern California counties succeeded in carrying off a larger number of awards than any association of counties exhibiting at the Panama Pacific International Exposition. Practically every entry from this section won out before the award jury and was given an award of some class. While Southern California carried away the Grand prize in a number if instances the medal of honor taken for the best collective continuous exhibit of citrus fruit is considered the banner award. This was the highest award give for collective exhibits of fresh citrus fruits and means that Southern California won out while competing against the entire world. Eureka lemons took the grand prize, as did walnuts and avocados, the last two from Orange county.
