Field Crops Made Increases in '30 Fields Per Acre Turned Out Better Than Was Expected Eearly In Season CORN, SUGAR BEET, BEANS Cotton Only Crop That Fell Below Estimates California field crops showed an increase in production for 1930 over 1929, with the single exception of cotton, according to the preliminary final estimate of the California Cooperative Crop Reporting Service. Yields per acre have turned out better than anticipated earlier in the season for corn, grain sorghum and particularly for rice. At a time when drought conditions prevailed throughout the middle west and east, California field crops were outstanding in kood production. Indian corn will total 2,924,000 bushels, it is estimated, and it is possible that about 50 per cent of the acreage will be utilized for grain or forage, resulting in a noticeable reduction of corn production on a grain basis. Grain sorghum will probably total 4,026,000 bushels and will exceed the 1929 crop because of larger acreage and better yield per acre this year. Sugar beet yields have turned out about as expected with a preliminary estimate for a total production of about 750,000 tons. Rice crops have turned out much better than anticipated earlier in the season and even from reports of as late October 1. Preliminary estimates indicate a yield of 62 bushels per acre. will be utilized for grain or forage, resulting in a noticeable reduction of corn production on a grain basis.

Sugar beet yields have turned out about as expected with a preliminary estimate for a total production of about 750,000 tons. Rice crops have turned out much better than anticipated earlier in the season and even from reports of as late October 1. Preliminary estimates indicate a yield of 63 bushels per acre, bringing the total crop to about 6,930,- 000 bushels, equivalent to about 3,120,- 000 bags. Preliminary estimate of the yield per acre of "Standard" Lima beans is about as anticipated and the production is estimated at 952,000 bags. "'Baby" Limas have turned out a much better yield per acre than expected an dthe total production is now placed at 616,- 000 bags. For "beans other than Limas" the production is placed at about 2,016,- 000 bags. The sweet potato crop turned out better than expected earlier in the season with a total estimated crop of 1,320,000 bushels. Probable production of white potatoes is 5,753,000 bushels. A drop in acreage now standing for harvest has caused falling off of the cotton production total for 1930, but satisfactory harvest weather during Octber and an excellent yield has speeded up picking. Unless unusual wet or foggy weather should occur in the San Joaquin valley before the greater part of the crop is harvested, California should gin 230,000 bales from 263,000 acres. Dairymen's Field Day Wednesday, Dec. 3 Dairymen and friends of the industry are invited to participate in a field day scheduled for Wednesday, December 3, beginning at John Janema's dairy, onefourth mile south of Paularino school on Newport Road at 10:30 a.m. Here opportunity will be given to see the highest butterfat producing cow in the cow testing association last year. This herd also won first place in its class in butterfat production. From here the tour will travel toward Raitt's Guaranteed Dairy to arrive in time for lunch. Opportunity will be given here to inspect this modern and up-to-date plant. Following the noon hour, several speakers will appear on the program, including G. E. Gordon, extension dairy specialist of the University of Californiia, and Dr. J. P. Iverson, division of animal industry, State Department of Agriculture, and others. Cups won in the cow competition classes will be awarded by the chairman of the Dairy Department, Wm. Segerstrom. The day's program will conclude with election of directors for the coming year.

County Officials Prepare for Jobs There is no undue delay on the part of county officials who were elected on Nov. 4 to qualify for their new jobs by taking the official oath. Sam L. Collins and Logan Jackson, District Attorney and Sheriff-elect, respectively, of Orange county, have taken their oaths of office. It is announced by County Clerk J. M. Backs, before whom the oaths were administered. Jackson, who lives in Orange, succeeds Sheriff Sam Jernigan. Collins, who lives in Fullerton, succeeds his chief, Dist.-Attorney Z. B. West, who was not a candidate for re-election. W. T. Lambert of Laguna Beach, Auditor-elect, and E. B. Trago of Santa Ana, Treasurer-elect, are expected to take their oaths of office soon. Lambert succeeds Auditor William Jerome, defeated for re-election, and Trago succeeds Treasurer J. C. Joplin, defeated at the primary. Little Damage From Wind and Cold The high winds which swept Southern California, and which brought in a cold snap, did comparatively little damage in Orange county, especially to citrus and walnut trees. After an inspection of conditions, A. A. Brock, county agricultural commissioner, said that damage was not as serious as first feared. As a whole, he said, it would not reach more than 1 percent, and in no section of the county which he visited would the loss be over 10 percent. The actual fruit drop and damage was negligible. The avocado orchards, where crops are nearing maturity, are probably the heaviest losers.
