Sale of a house lot to A Langenberger, who became one of the most successful merchants in Southern California, was approved. Secretary John Fischer had moved to Anaheim, so Theodore E. Schmidt was named pro tem secretary, followed by election of F. W. Kuelp to that position.

Taylor Secretary Agricultural Legislative Committee California's bumper crop of farm laws, dating from the days of the gold rush to the present era and including thousands of separate acts and resolutions, will shortly appear in a compact agricultural code of a single volume.

Patriotic Exercises Mark Boy Scout Meet Harold Keirsey this week received a resolution of thanks from Boy Scout Troop No. 71 for furnishing the truck on which the troop mounted a float for the Armistice day parade at Fullerton. The troop met Friday evening, devoted a large share of their program to Armistice observance, and enjoined refreshment. California's bumper crop of farm laws, dating from the days of the gold rush to the present era and including thousands of separate acts and resolutions, will shortly appear in a compact agricultural code of a single volume. Drafted by the California code commission, with the aid of California farm organizations, the new agricultural code is now nearing completion and will be submitted to the state legislature at its coming session. Pruned and thinned, with conflicts, inconsistencies and ambiguities eliminated, the new code will group together in one place all of California's progressive farm laws, including comprehensive quarantine, pest control and standardization statutes which have become models for the entire nation. Within the code itself, the law will be grouped in divisions, each relating to a single subject, to make it possible for the farmer to consult the statutes on any phase of agriculture without the assistance of a lawyer. "Farm laws for farmers," ready of access, clear-cut and easy of understanding, has been made a major objective in the new code and hundreds of obsolete and superseded laws will be repealed to make possible the compact "all in one" volume of agricultural legislation. The huge task of re-writing and simplifying the California farm law, which has required nearly two years of work by expert code draftsmen of the state commission, with the constant assistance of leaders in each branch of the farming industry, has involved a page-by-page study of 25,083 statutes adopted during the period from 1849 to 1931. California, the study revealed, has more farm laws than any other state in the nation, mainly due to the great diversification of its agricultural industry and the fact that its markets are scattered over the entire world. The California farm laws govern the production, protection and marketing of 186 commercial crops grown in the state, whereas the average state produces less than a dozen agricultural commodities in commercial quantities. Indicative of the tremendous scope of the state's farming industry, and the magnitude of its legislative problems, every crop grown in the United States is produced in California, with the minor exception of a few tropical fruits grown in the southern tip of Florida. The new farm code, in addition to covering local problems of the industry, will include carefully worked out statutes to meet marketing conditions in practically every country in the world. The code commission, headed by Thomas C. Ridgway of Los Angeles, with Fred Wood, chief of the legislative counsel bureau, as its secretary, has evidenced a commendable desire to make the law fit for the problem it addresses. The Congress which will meet in Washington on December 5th will be the last "lame duck" Congress. It was Speaker Thomas B. Reed who coloned the phrase "lame ducks" to designate members of Congress who have been defeated for re-election in November but who still held their offices until the fourth of the following March, and meet in December for a final session. There will be an unusually large number of lame ducks in the concluding session of the Seventy-Second Congress, and they will have just as much power, their votes will count for just as much, as if they had been re-elected. In some quarters, indeed there is a feeling that the lame duck Congressman, who no longer has to keep an eye on his home district to determine how he should vote, is sometimes more likely to conduct himself as a representative of the real fundamental interests of the entire nation than is the new member who has to keep his own possible re-election in mind. Some Good Workers Too A great many unjust things are said in private and in the public prints about Congress as a whole. One reason is that a great deal more publicity is given to the sensational and irresponsible remarks of a few, than to the genuine, quiet work of the many. If party politics could be eliminated from the deliberations of Congress—which, of course, it cannot—the public would not be so apt to look upon its members as if they were a group of irresponsible school-boys, which they certainly are not. The terms of the members of the Congress which have just been elected begin on March 4th, 1933, but unless called by the President in special session Congress will not actually meet until December, 1933. But instead of remaining in office until March 4, 1935, the terms of these newly elected members will expire on January 10, 1935, and that of the President-elect, whose term also begins on March 4, 1933, will expire on January 20, 1935; that is, of course provided three-quarters of the state Legislatures meeting this winter ratify the Twentieth Amendment to the Federal Constitution, which changes the terms of office of the President and of both Houses of Congress. Nineteen states have already ratified it. It will take the action therefore, of seventeen more state Legislatures to make it effective. There will be Legislative sessions in some forty states this winter, and since nobody has raised any serious objection to this Constitutional change, it is regarded as certain that it will become a part of the fundamental law of the land by early Spring. Two Years Hence Patriotic Exercises Mark Boy Scout Meet Harold Keirsey this week received a resolution of thanks from Boy Scout Troop No. 71 for furnishing the truck on which the troop mounted a float for the Armistice day parade at Fullerton. The troop met Friday evening, devoted a large share of their program to Armistice observance, and enjoyed refreshments. The code commission, headed by Thomas C. Ridgway of Los Angeles, with Fred Wood, chief of the legislative counsel bureau, as its secretary, has evidenced a commendable desire to "make the law fit the problem," instead of the too common expedient of making the problem fit the law, with the result that the new code promises to close many loop-holes in the existing statutes and incidently, is a dramatic story of the history and development of California agriculture. In 1850, for instance only two acts affecting agriculture were adopted—one relating to lawful fences and the other to marks and brands. The industry, at that period, was predominantly cattle raising; the fruit industry was still unborn. Jumping to 1931, the legislation included 200 farm bills introduced and 61 finally enacted, nuts, vegetables, eggs and commercial feeding stuffs, meat inspection, dairy and dairy products legislation, quarantine and pest control laws. Many of these measures, however, were amendments to existing statutes, necessitated by changing market conditions and standards. The forthcoming session will mark a new step forward under the compact farm code—the repeal of hundreds of unnecessary laws and the simplification of others. Wahlberg Leaves Hospital In Dec. Harold E. Wahlberg, Farm Advisor and member of the staff of the Agricultural Extension Service, University of California, is confined to St. Joseph's hospital, West Orange. He was taken to the hospital 10 days ago for a minor operation. He will return to his duties the early part of December. Two Years Hence The first important fact of this Constitutional change will come about two years from now, when the Seventy-Fourth Congress is elected in November, 1934. The members elected at that time will not have to wait a year and a month before the beginning of their regular session, but only about two months. There may still be a session of the Seventy-Third Congress, the one just elected, in December, 1934, but that is hardly likely since they would have only about a month of time, with the Christmas holidays intervening, in which to do anything. The Congressmen elected in November, 1934, will meet in regular session immediately after the Christmas holidays, when their terms will begin on January 10, 1935. Then, two years after that, in 1936, the President then elected will be inaugurated on January 20, 1937, ten days after the Congress elected at the same time has begun its first session. This will give Congress time to organize, to establish its committees and be ready with at least the beginnings of a legislative program before the new President takes office. There is a general feeling in political circles that, eventually, this new system is going to make a great deal of difference in the way in which public affairs are conducted. Washington Viewpoint The citizens of Washington are wondering what difference it will make in the life of the capital city to have the Presidential inauguration in January instead of March. One of the principal sources of revenue from Washington business and hotel men, and householders, has for many years been the Attendance Record at Grid Game Seen Predicting a new local attendance record when Southern California meets Notre Dame in Los Angeles Memorial Stadium Saturday, December 10, Arnold Eddy, general manager of the University of Southern California student body, announced that public sale of tickets for the annual classic was under way at the Trojan ticket offices. Opening this week, the public sale has reached the greatest pre-game heights of the season, Eddy said. money spent by the crowds that go to Washington for the inauguration ceremonies, especially when there has been a party turnover and a new party government is coming in. The impressive ceremony of the new President taking the oath of office on the Grand Piazza on the eastern front of the Capitol building, in the presence of sometimes as many as 100,000 persons packed into the Capitol Plaza; the gorgeous military parade from the Capitol to Washington Circle, along Pennsylvania Avenue and past the Presidential reviewing-stand at the White House these and the hope of getting jobs under the new Administration, always bring crowds to Washington at inauguration time. When the weather is good the grandstands along the Avenue frequently contain as many as 100,000 spectators, who have paid anywhere from a dollar upwards. Whether all of these inaugural affairs can be handled as well in January as in March is the question that is bothering Washingtonians. Poultrymen Hosts to Local 4-H Club Youths Following a custom of three years standing, the Poultry Service club of Southern California has invited three outstanding poultry club members from each county in Southern California to be present at their fall meeting, as guests of the club, according to Eric E. Eastman, assistant farm advisor. The meeting this year will be held in the Legion club house, Arcadia, 6:30 p.m., Thursday, November 17. The three poultry club members selected to represent Orange county are Orin Smith, Jr., of Tustin, who will be the speaker for the local representatives; Bob Breckenridge of Yorba Linda; and Ray Launer of La Habra. An official Advisor W. M. Cory will pay at the extension service from Granite county. When thoughts turn homeward THANKSGIVING!

Southern California Telephone Company 178,000 people opened new accounts with BANK of AMERICA Since March 1932 Here is an outstanding example of state-wide teamwork on the part of alert, thinking people—a response to Bank of America’s appeal to put spare dollars to work for all California. The vast sum of money deposited by our new customers has played an important part in financing California industries and also various community projects. Open a back-to-good-times account in this or any other time-tested bank. The total number of people opening new accounts in Bank of America since March, 1932, would populate a city considerably larger than San Diego—lourth city of California.
