New Service For The Farmers
Radio and Telegraph Placed at Disposal of Agriculturists
Radio and telegraph will again be at the disposal of California farmers this year—informing them of market conditions throughout the United States on every farm product.
No longer need the farmer throw his products on the market haphazardly, just as he happens to harvest them. Thanks to a carefully worked out system of news dissemination he can pick the most advantageous time to dispose of commodities.
The state division of markets information service is by no means an innovation, but this year it will be augmented with a cooperative arrangement that is new.
The state department of agriculture, the University of California college of agriculture, and the state bureau of commerce have all joined in an agreement to work as a unit in the market news service.
At San Francisco, Sacramento, and Los Angeles are short wave radio stations, with operators constantly receiving information from telegraph wires stretching across the country, into the middle west and eastern markets.
These three radio stations can communicate with other stations to be erected temporarily, in parts of the state where heavy crop movement is on. For example—lettuce in the Salinas Watsonville region may be reaching its peak. A radio station in the center of that district is installed, to take bulletins from the three main stations in the state on lettuce prices in markets all over the country.
Copies of the reports are posted at advantageous points throughout the lettuce region and fast courlers on motorcycles deliver the news to packing plants at remote places within range of the station.
When crops are coming into production in other portions of the state, additional radio equipment can be set up to provide the same sort of service.
1929 Baby Crop Lowest In Years
Unknown Factor Apparently Responsible for the Unfavorable Rate
California's 1929 baby crop fell to the lowest level recorded in the state since 1919, according to the annual stork activity report of the state bureau of vital statistics.
The total of $8,498 new arrivals, compared with $3,643 in 1928. This is a rate of 18.3 births per 1,000 population in California, bringing the state average below that of the United States as a whole which is 19.7 per 1,000.
Orange county had 1,872 births within its borders during the year, a rate of 21.3 per 1,000.
State officials frankly admit they can't place responsibility for this low record. Quoting Dr. Walter M. Dickle, director of the state department of public health:
"Some unknown factor is present which is apparently responsible for the lower rate. What it is, we do not know. It must be borne in mind, however, that the rates are computed upon an estimated population based upon the U.S. census figures for California in the censuses of 1910 and 1920. We have no exact information available as to the real population."
Mexican births for 1928 showed an increase in California, despite the drop in the state average. In 1928 there were 13,846 children born to Mexicans and 13,955 last year.
A noticeable decrease occurred in Japanese births during the past year. In 1928 these births totaled 2,833, while in 1929 they dropped to 2,353.
For those with time and inclination to do some "heavy" figuring, here are some formulas to investigate. The public health department says that the "baby tonnage" may be computed by taking an average of 6½ pounds for each baby. Multiplying this by $8,498 gives the total "crop" for 1929.
Then, they add, each baby has a fixed value of $254 at birth, so the value of the entire group may be easily organized group of data through their organization to make a financial statement warrant the extension of operation must also be in a position to the bank loaning the collateral on which the ed constitutes prime secur.

Tractor Sales Indicate Prosperous Year
That the number of tractors sold in a given territory is one of the best guages of prosperity in that section is the statement made by Willard E. Shepherd, President of the Shepherd Tractor & Equipment Company.
We have all listened to a lot of conflicting predictions as to what 1930 has in store for the farmer, said Mr. Shepherd. These forecasts ranged from the most pessimistic forbodings of the dryd-in-the--wool calamity howlers to the over enthusiastic guesses of the super-optimists.
But now that 1930 is well under way we have been able to get definite indications as to what business and agricultural conditions are to be for the rest of the year, so that we don't need to depend on estimates and guesses.
It seems to me that one of the best indications of prosperity or lack of prosperity on the part of a farming community is the number of tractors purchased by the farmers in that community. In times when conditions are unfavorable farmers naturally have to retrench, and fewer tractors are bought. On the other hand, when times are good, when farmers have money to spend and when there are strong indications that farming is going to be profitable in the subsequent months, one of the first things the sensible farmer thinks of is buying more tractors so that his work will be taken care of properly.
Using the number of sales of tractors as a basis for our predictions, I think we can safely say that 1930 is going to be the best year that the farmers of Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura counties have ever seen.
During the first twenty-three days in February Shepherd Tractor & Equipment Co., have sold and delivered 63 new "Caterpillar" tractors to growers and other tractor users of this section.
Organization Is Need for Credit
Dairymen must organize in much the same way as have successful fruit marketing associations if they are to secure credit from banks, says W. S. Guilford of the California National Bank. Saeramento, "Loans must be guaranteed collectively by those who are interested in receiving them," said Guilford. "This Eddy' presents a simple, authoritative and dispassionate review of the events in the career of a truly remarkable woman."

Marry Baker Eddy
Today the thinking public desires to form its own estimate of the achievements of illustrious men and women.
It demands to be put in possession of the actual facts, simply set forth. Hence Sibyl Wilbur's "Life of Mary Baker Eddy" is of permanent value. The author has had access to reliable evidence from such sources as town registers, church books and court records, as well as word-of-mouth testimony from certain of Mrs. Eddy's contemporaries.
Miss Wilbur seeks neither to explain nor to expound, but relates the circumstances plainly, content that they should elucidate themselves. Here, then, is the authentic story of Mrs. Eddy's life. She herself gave permission to her friends to publish and circulate this work. It remains the one and only biography written during the life time of the Leader of the Christian Science movement and approved by her.
The Chicago Daily News says: "Her (Sibyl Wilbur's) 'Life of Mary Baker
organized group of dairymen must, through their organization, be able to make a financial statement which will warrant the extension of credit; they must also be in a position to guarantee to the bank loaning the money, that the collateral on which the credit is granted constitutes prime security.
"Bankers are quite as anxious to finance dairy cow and dairy farm operations as are the farmers to be financed, but the set-up for this financing operation must be right. Savings banks cannot loan on chattel mortgages; commercial banks are limited to 90-day loans, which they can be renewed, are not satisfactory to either party. So some sort of collective guarantee is necessary.
"In the case of dairy cows, this means that the cows must be tested for tuberculosis and abrotion, that they must be profitable producers and that the individuals who operate the dairies so conduct their operations that the cows on which the loans are placed are kept in good condition and are not sold or replaced with animals of less value.
"Banking is almost entirely a matter of confidence. You have confidence that the bank will be able and ready to pay you the money you entrust to it in a savings or rechecking account. In turn the bank must have confidence in you in loaning money. You have the statement of the bank, under supervision of the state, and the resources of its stockholders on which to base your confidence. A bank's confidence in you is greatly facilitated when the banker has plenty of facts upon which to base such confidence.
"There must be a relation of absolute confidence between you and your financial adviser; you must give him an opportunity to judge you by the three Cs of the credit man's code: Character, Capacity and Capital.

Livestock at Napa
Among the little-known activities of the Napa State Farm inmates is livestock raising, it was revealed here last week by Lyman M. King, director of finance. During January alone sales totaling $25,675 were made of meat and pelts. The lambing season has just been completed with 1,425 lambs on hand. King reported. These have been contracted at 12½ cents and will be shipped to eastern markets in May. The farm has 67 head of steers and 55 head of cows.
