Selling Products To the World Bureau of Commerce to Widen Markets All Around the World Charles C. Bowen, Los Angeles investment banker, economist and expert in industrial and agricultural survey, today occupies one of the most important positions in California—that of chief of the newly created State Bureau of Commerce. His is the task of "selling" California's products to the world, developing new markets in Europe and the Orient. The law providing the new bureau even charges its head with "creating and encouraging a taste for California products." A big job—but Bowen is big enough to fill it, in the opinion of Governor C. C. Young. A graduate of the College of Commerce, University of California, and of Harvard School of Business Administration, he has been engaged for many years in the investigation of commercial financial, marketing and production problems, chiefly in California. Still in his thirties, the new commerce chief has already made a study of markets for American products in Europe with particular reference to agricultural products. He has also made similar studies in Egypt, Palestine, India, China and Japan. Since the World War, during which he served in France, he has held important executive positions with a number of leading California firms and for the last two years has been employed by a large banking investment concern as economist and statistician. "It is my hope," continued the governor, "that he will be able to utilize this broad experience in solving the outstanding problem of our state—namely, the promotion and development of broader markets, both foreign and domestic, for our agricultural products." Our farmers need more consumers for their goods and our cities need Avocado Growers Plan Department Committee of avocado growers from the La Hahra and Yorla Linda Farm Centers have been appointed to meet jointly with the Tustin Farm Center committee to be appointed in near future, to consider the organization of an Avocado Growers' Department in the Orange County Farm Bureau. The immediate work of the department will be an economic study of the cost of production in co-operation with the farm advisor's office. At the last meeting of the La Hahra Farm Center, Farm Advisor H. E. Wahiberg reported that at the present time similar studies were being conducted by his office on oranges, lemons, walnuts, honey, poultry, dairy and lima beans. The various commodity groups for whom these studies are carried find them valuable basis for computing tariff requirements. The studies primarily aim to assist the individual grower to analyze his own business of production and to interpret costs. A large delegation of Orange county avocado growers attended the annual field day on October 19, where stops were made at the California Botanical Gardens and H. C. Oakley's grove near Santa Monica, and the subtropical horticultural tract on campus of the University of California at Los Angeles. Captain Dudley Corlett explained the economic value of a botanical garden in the horticultural development of the state and in co-operation with the existing agencies such as the University of California, the United States Department of Agriculture, and various experiment stations. Prof. R. W. Hodgson outlined the contemplated plantings and projects in connection with the new location of the Division of Subtropical Horticulture at Westwood. The present tract is limited to only ten acres, according to Hodgson, but it is hoped that co-operative experiments may be located in the various citrus, avocado and walnut districts of Southern California.

"It is my hope," continued the governor, "that he will be able to utilize this broad experience in solving the outstanding problem of our state—namely, the promotion and development of broader markets, both foreign and domestic, for our agricultural products. "Our farmers need more consumers for their goods, and our cities need more smokestacks and more payrolls. He will be charged with the responsibility of finding markets for both industrial and agricultural products, but it is my hope that he will emphasize the latter inasmuch as that is the outstanding need at present. "A few weeks ago we took an important step toward relieving our marketing problem by initiating the construction of a precooling plant in San Francisco harbor. This second step follows out the same idea, ad in a broad sense, is a portion of the general program of building for the future." A man in Dusseldorf, Germany, recently broke the piano endurance record by playing the piano uninterruptedly for eighty-two hours. It's our opinion that the ones who really broke the endurance record were the neighbors who listened for eighty-two hours without interrupting him.

State Controller Riley announced these figures in his annual report on value of property in the counties of California. This county, with a total of 420,707 acres of assessed land, showed the following property valuations, according to the report: Real estate, $112,401,215. Improvements on real estate, $41,226,455. Personal property, $20,332,435. Total county indebtedness, $924,000. Kern county held the distinction of having the lowest tax rate for county purposes of any county in the state. This was $1.30 on inside property and $1.50 on property outside municipalities. The Kern county rate is largely due to the rich oil fields there, which provide enough money from taxes on owners of the fields so that the property rate may be lowered. Trinity county has the highest tax rates of any county. The inside rate is not given in the report, as in the smaller counties; it is said to be impossible to determine a fair rate on the few returns made. The outside rate in Trinity county is $4.00. California's total property wealth has now reached the nine billion mark—the exact total of all property in the state, including real estate, improvements, personal property, money and solvent credits, being $9,561,117,556. A total indebtedness of $147,613,331 faces the counties of the state. This is a gain of more than $8,000,000 over the 1928 figures. EXAMINATION FOR CLERKS from 18 to 40 who will accept temporary work at $70 to $90 per month. Clerks who make good while so employed may qualify for a permanent position in any state department. Separate examinations will be given for the following positions: Assistant structural engineering draftsmen, $135 to $165 a month; Junior and assistant designing engineers, bridges, and junior and assistant construction engineers, bridges, $170 to $280 a month, and junior, assistant and associate construction engineers, buildings, $170 to $375 a month, depending upon the difficulty and responsibility of the position. Information or application blanks may be obtained from any of the commission's offices, 115 State building, San Francisco; 1017 Associated Realty building, Los Angeles, or 319 Capitol building, Sacramento. Forest Fires Light in County Losses in State Lower Than Those Recorded Last Year California's forests and grain fields did not suffer at the hands of the flaming red menace this year as heavily as they have in the past, according to a report by Fred G. Stevenot director of the department of natural resources. Orange county's name does not appea in Stevenot's appraisal: of this year's fire damage, because the county's state land losses were apparently so small as to be negligible. The state keeps records only of state protected areas, outside of cities and towns. This excludes national forests. A total of 468,085 acres throughout California were blackened, with a loss of $590,700. These losses are well below the 1928 figures, which showed a total loss of $980,000 to October 1, Stevenot said. Several devastating fires occurred in national forests and within incorporated town limits such as the Mill Valley fire and the disastrous fire in Ventura.

"The year has been most satisfactory from our viewpoint" Stevenot commented. "Although late rains aided us to a great extent the public is becoming awakened o the menace of fire and is co-operating.

Study Red Spider In order to determine the value of red spider control in connection with wind injury, a series of spray control plots have been established by the citrus experiment station at the Leloy Lyon grove, four miles east of Anaheim. The investigation was arranged by the Agricultural Extension Service in connection with its webbreak survey and study of factors affecting wind injury in citrus. A. M. Boyce, assistant entomologist of the citrus experiment station, is in charge of the investigations. We can hardly refrain from telling you that now is the time to do your Christmas shopping early.
