HIGHER MILK PRICES JUSTIFIED Los Angeles Dairymen's Department Makes/Statement. The whole question of the recent raise in milk prices on the part of dairymen of Los Angeles County was gone into exhaustibly at a recent session of the executive committee of the dairy department representing 2000 and more farmers of all branches of agriculture in the county. The consensus of opinion at this hearing was that indications point to further increases in milk prices in the not distant future unless conditions change radically. The recent increase in price received by the producer from $4.60 a hundred to $5.20 has been necessitated on account of a number of factors. Land values everywhere have experienced a decided increase during the past year all of which adds to the overhead of whatever agriculture happens to be conducted on the land. Dairymen in company with all other Southern California farmers are having to bear this increased overhead. Recent increases in rates granted to power companies have added an additional load to the burden the dairymen have been carrying, most of the alfalfa fed to dairy cows being raised on pumped water. Alfalfa hay today is selling for prices of $30 and $35 a ton, a material advance over prices of last year and a remarkable increase in price over values for alfalfa of two or three years ago. Concentrates which are a necessary part of the dairy cow's ration have increased somewhat in price largely on account of the shortage of rain in some of the grain producing sections. High prices of feed stuffs at this time of the year when the hay and grain crops are coming in generally means considerable additional money, of which he has already more than he knows what to do with'. "There we have a succinct statement of the consequences that follow confiscation of the rewards of energy and thrift. There we have a sample of the results of substituting mediocre dictatorship for demonstrated ability as the managing power in industry. Whether it be the Plumb plan of government ownership or a taxing system that confiscates the profits of industry, the effect is the same—to discourage individual initiative and enterprise. When the hope of special reward for special ability and effort has been destroyed, there will be no special effort, and progress will be transformed into retrogression and decay. "A soviet government may compel its victim to give up the goods and take worthless money in the first instance, but ultimately the effect will be to discourage production, in which event there will be no goods to take, either with or without compensation. The Plumb Plan proposes that the government sell bonds to raise money to buy the railroads and then turn the properties over to a commission on which the railroad employees would have a dominating voice. In practical effect, if not technically, the employees would fix their own compensation. Instead of owning the railroad stocks as at present, the stockholders would hold government bonds on which they would draw interest without giving the government the benefit of their experience and ability in the management of the business. The new managers would have no special incentive to make the roads efficient, for they would not be called upon to pay deficits and there would be no profits to share. The government, under the Plumb Plan, would call upon the public to pay the increased costs of operation in the form of taxes and to that extent would confiscate one man's mosaic occurs, and be made to prevent Thus far Colorado beetles have not mit mosaic, nor over in the soil tubers. AMERICA'S About one-tenth the United States New York, Chicago while more than sixty-eight cities of 100,000 or more mosaic population of increase of 1,640 percent, in the ten Cities having have increased nine this year San Francisco advanced into this There was a class with a total six cities advanction.

The list of cities of 100,000 or more revised since fiel below in their City—New York Chicago Philadelphia High wages paid to city labor have had a disastrous effect on the dairy situation. Dairy work is hard and the hours are long. It is becoming almost impossible to secure competent milkers, the result being that there has been a decrease in efficiency of labor and there exists a very great shortage of available labor for dairy farms. It was also pointed out that of all the essential food commodities used in the diet of the average American, milk has suffered less increase in price during the past three or four years than has any other. On the basis of food value, prevailing prices for milk are quite reasonable. Milk substitutes have experienced greater increases in price than has milk so that at the present time money expended in the purchase of milk and milk products brings in greater value than it has ever done when expended for milk substitutes. The Dairymen's Department is conducting an active campaign to aid dairymen in making their business more profitable and consequently to prevent increases in costs of milk to consumers through the medium of its cow-testing work. Each of the 3000 cows or more under test by the cow-testing association has her milk weighed each month and butterfat determinations made. On the basis of these figures the profit or loss from each cow is determined monthly and cows failing to show a profit on the feed used are sent to the butcher. It is also encouraging dairymen in the greater use of ensilage and dozens of silos are being erected in various parts of Los Angeles County for the preservation of this sort of feed. Active work is also under way looking toward reduced costs of irrigation water to dairymen which will act to aid them in operating under the present adverse conditions. Prevention of mosaic disease of Irish potatoes, which decreases yields of affected potatoes 20 to 50 per cent, and for which no satisfactory control measures have been generally adopted, now appears possible as a result of a series of investigations conducted in Maine by specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture and the Maine Agricultural Experiment Station. The essential points are that mosaic is carried over from season to season and from farm to farm by planting would draw interest without giving the government the benefit of their experience and ability in the management of the business. The new managers would have no special incentive to make the roads efficient, for they would not be called upon to pay deficits and there would be no profits to share. The government, under the Plumb Plan, would call upon the public to pay the increased costs of operation in the form of taxes and to that extent would confiscate one man's property for another man's benefit. There would be no substantial reward held out to the man who, because of years of experience and a willingness to work, could take a run-down and unprofitable railroad property and put it on a paying basis. Having no control as an owner, he could be ousted by the communistic management as soon as he had accomplished his undertaking. With such a prospect ahead, he would act upon the policy adopted by the peasants of Russia, and strive for nothing but the immediate needs of himself and family. National decline would be the certain result. "Those economists who proposed taxes that would absorb practically 100 per cent of a man's income were close imitators of the economic policies of the bolsheviks. They could easily collect the first tax, but after that the producer would exclaim in disgust. What's the use', and would cease producing more than his family necessities. There is more than one way to kill geese that lay golden eggs. Mr. Cox, the Tammany nominee for the Presidency, proposed a wholesale killing when he urged government ownership of all utilities except agriculture. Government-owned utilities would find some way to conscript the profits of agriculture, and then bolshevism would be supreme. MAY LEAD TO PREVENTION OF POTATO MOSAIC DISEASE Bridgeport, CT.

Active work is also under way looking toward reduced costs of irrigation water to dairymen which will act to aid them in operating under the present adverse conditions. The department was unanimous in the feeling that much of the present hostile criticism of the dairymen on the part of the general public is not only unwarranted but is destined to force many dairymen out of the business who otherwise would continue to produce milk even though the profit would be nominal. Further increases in milk prices in the fall months unless unexpected changes in conditions occur was the prediction of the dairymen's department. THE RUSSIAN DESCENSUS AVERNI Destroy special reward for special ability and progress will be transformed into retrogression, declares the Republican Publicity Association, through its President Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., in the following statement issued today: "Describing the deplorable conditions in Russia under the bolshevik regime, a writer who interviewed hundreds of refugees says that 'for example, the peasant will cultivate only as much land as is necessary to supply his own family, because anything above that amount would be seized by the government and paid for with soviet Irish potatoes, which decreases yields of affected potatoes 20 to 50 per cent, and for which no satisfactory control measures have been generally adopted, now appears possible as a result of a series of investigations conducted in Maine by specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture and the Maine Agricultural Experiment Station. The essential points are that mosaic is carried over from season to season and from farm to farm by planting potatoes from diseased hills. The spread of mosaic in a field is due mainly to aphids or plant lice, which feed upon mosaic plants and then upon healthy ones. The potatoes thus inoculated may show the disease very soon, or it may not appear until the following season, when the progeny will develop mosaic. Mosaic may be spread also by rubbing crushed leaves of diseased plants upon healthy ones, and by injections of the juice of diseased plants. It has not been spread by the seed-cutting knife. The percentage of diseased plants in a field may not change greatly from year to year, but the tendency is for the mosaic to increase, particularly when aphids are abundant. Seed from hills that grew near mosaic hills are more likely to yield mosaic progeny, and more so if the parent hill contains only two or three tubers, and as the relative size of the tuber in the parent hill is greater and as the seed-piece is nearer the bud end or is larger. The conclusions drawn from the experiments are that the first essential is to secure seed stock from fields entirely free from mosaic, or as nearly so as could be found. These potatoes should be isolated from all fields where Bridgeport, CT., Houston, TX., Hartford, CT., Scranton, PA., Grand Rapids, Paterson, N.J., Youngstown, OH., Springfield, MO., Des Moines, IA., New Bedford, MA., Fall River, MA., Trenton, N.J., Nashville, TN., Salt Lake City, Camden, N.J., Norfolk, Va., Albany, N.Y., Lowell, Mass., Wilmington, DE., Cambridge, MD., Reading, Pa., Ft.

The three cities with populations of 1,000,000 or more—New York, Chicago and Philadelphia—have a combined population of 10,146,521, showing an increase of 1,644,347 or about 19.5 per cent, in the ten years since 1910. Cities having 500,000 to 1,000,000 have increased from five in 1910 to nine this year, Detroit, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Buffalo having advanced into this class. There was a net increase of two in the cities of the 250,000 to 500,000 class with a total of thirteen, although six cities advanced into this classification. They are Kansas City, Mo.; Seattle, Indianapolis, Rochester, Portland, Or., and Denver. There are forty-three cities of from 100,000 to 250,000 this year, a net increase of twelve, although eighteen have shown increases bringing them into this class. The list of cities having a population of 100,000 or more, some of which have revised since first announced, is given below in their order of rank. City Population New York 5,621,151 Chicago 2,701,705 Philadelphia 1,869,168 is covered, every farmer is given an opportunity to join and the membership is doubled or trebled. It costs something to solicit and obtain a Farm Bureau member and if the dues are not large enough to cover this cost how is the membership to be permanently maintained. Our past method of unpaid solicitation has never been successful in covering the whole territory of any country and it is our duty to establish a method that will, so that the organization may be perpetuated. By increasing their dues to $5, Iowa was able to obtain 104,388 members signed up for life by March 1 last. Illinois with dues at $15 per year had 93,372 members on August 14, their membership having increased 1,054 that week and 1,245 the week before. President Howard has announced the American Federation is assisting in launching of membership campaigns in Florida, Texas, Arkansas, New Jersey and Vermont of a similar nature to the campaign that in less than a year has enrolled more than 75,000 members on a $10 a year basis in Michigan, signed for three years with their checks. J. W. Coverdale, secretary of the American Farm Bureau Federation, writes that if we wish that they can send us a man at our expense who has had experience in the Iowa organization work, the Missouri, Illinois or Wisconsin, who can give us tremendous assistance in managing our membership capaigns along the lines which have been so successful elsewhere. The Farm Bureau membership must be increased and must represent all the farmers. It cannot be done with less than annual dues of $5.

Accomplishments The Farm Bureau has accomplished much but there is a great field in which it could do tremendous service but will be hampered in results obtainable by inadequate funds in the county and state treasury under our present system. The National Farm Bureau has increased its dues to fifty cents for each person and will be thus financed sufficiently to carry out the wonderful program which it has begun with such splendid results. The increased national dues are at the expense of the state treasury; however,and there are many state activitieswhich will suffer if the situation is not remedied by more adequate finances. Most farmers would be willing to pay $5 per year simply for the purpose of maintaining a representative at the state legislature who would have the combined influence of all the farmers and who would post the farmers on the actions of the legislature and would inform the legislators as to the wishes of the farmers.

A large membership is the foundation of the success of the Farm Bureau. Its membership should be increased until it represents as nearly as possible, 100 per cent of the farmers. It has been conclusively proven in many of the eastern states that an increase of Farm Bureau dues to $5 or $10 will cause a great increase in the membership. The reason for this is that, with the larger dues, charity or free offerings of work to solicit membership is no longer depended upon to canvass the territory but solicitors are paid well for the service they render and therefore the whole territory will accomplish this purpose, and he says that as the farmer is in the same as a life occupation, to adopt the plan which will sign him up to his organization for life instead of having this perpetual yearly drive for members. A Paid Officer of The Farm Bureau It seems strange than an organization which is representing as large a business as the County Farm Bureau has not even one person which it can command. The employment of an officer by the County Farm Bureau may be secondary but it is essential that if the organization is to do much, that it must be able to have some one at its command to see that its wishes are carried out. He should be a person that would co-operate with the Farm Advisors so that the benefits of the co-operation between the Farm Bureau and their office would not be diminished. It should be distinctly understood that the Farm Advisor is not a paid employee of the Farm Bureau, is paid by the government and the university, and therefore is not under the direction of the Farm Bureau. He is doing work for the Farm Bureau which he has no right to do and that he should not be called on to do. If the Farm Bureau is going to amount to anything it should have its own employee whom it can direct to carry out the duties that the Farm Advisors have so willingly carried out for us. It is time that we, as an organization, do away with this charity. Goo. H. Sawyer, Pres. Stanislaus Co. Farm Bureau Anaheim Gazette, per year, $1.50, payable in advance.

Schneider’s City Cash Market Phone 20 117 West Center St. sume his duties as first mate on the "West Harts," a vessel in the U. S. Shipping Board Service. Peterman was formerly second mate on the "West Harts," which plies between San Francisco and Japan and China, but became first mate on the next cruise. He served for four years in the navy before entering the shipping board service as an officer. During the nine months he has spent in this branch of the service, Peterman has had some thrilling experiences, including a wreck on the Japanese coast in which the "West Harts" suffered bent frames for 160 feet and a badly torn bottom on the port side. "A Japanese salvage company demanded $500,000 to haul our ship off the rocks," said Peterman, "but all they got was $500. Speaking of profitteers, how’s that for an example?" He was also on the "West Harts" when 2,000 gallons of gasoline exploded in Shanghai harbor and all during the night he was on deck directing the crew in extinguishing the flames that continually menaced his own ship. Before accepting duty as second mate on his present ship, Peterman was on the "Admiral Wainwright," which plied between the Atlantic Coast and the West Indies. He said that he is greatly pleased with his work and that sea life "can’t be touched." WANTED — To board girls, 6 to 11 years; best of schools and good home. Terms on application. 233 W.
