Market Demands Quality In Eggs Quality and weight standards have been set up for eggs and the minimum egg law is now being enforced in California. Consumers have every right to expect large eggs when so labeled in the retail market. If the quality grade specifies "Extras" then the consumer has a right to expect that the eggs will fully measure up to the minimum set for this grade. "Extras" shall be uniform in size, reasonably clean and sound; air cell localized and not over 3-16 inch in depth; clear, firm whites; and not more than two eggs per dozen in the next lower quality grade. So says the law. But how are you going to satisfy the law and the demand of consumers for these high quality eggs? Consumers are apparently willing to pay well for these quality eggs, judging from the recent range in prices for the different grades of eggs, according to W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor. As most of you know, California poultry raisers have a large surplus of eggs which must be shipped to the large consuming markets of the East, such as New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and Chicago — possibly 2,000 carloads in a year going east. But consumers on these markets have their preferences. To sell eggs on the New York market, eggs with weak shells or with watery whites should be eliminated. Research work indicates that a tendency to lay thick shelled eggs or eggs with a good structure of the albumen is probably inherited. Breeders are now helping to produce stock laying better quality eggs. Hatchery chicks are used by a large part of the commercial poultrymen in this state. The new breeding program calls for certain improvements in the quality of the stock, such as greater average production, greater resistance to disease, and better quality of the eggs. But as pointed out by Dr. L. W. Taylor, "It must be remembered that there will be no improvement in breed- The Farmer's Corner By Ralph H. Taylor Secretary Agricultural Legislative Committee In times of economic distress, when city streets are crowded with jobless America still turns back to the farm—reaching for the security of food and shelter, regardless of profits. Such is the story to be gleaned from the latest report of the United States bureau of agricultural economics, tracing the ebb and flow of population during the current year. America's farm population, according to the federal bureau, is swinging rapidly toward "new high," with indications that 32,000,000 people will be living on farms by the start of the new year, closely bordering the peak farm population of 32,077,000 in 1910. At the rate of increase established during the forepart of the year, the net gain in farm population during 1932 will top the million mark. And the increases of this year, taken with the gains during 1930 and 1931, will more than offset the decrease of 1,500,000 in farm population which occurred during the preceding ten years. One of the curiously human side-lights of the report, supporting the ancient adage that "Distant pastures are always greenest," is that farm people continue to move cityward at a time when city people are most anxious to get "back on the farm." During the first three months of the year, for instance, 432,000 farmers moved to the city. And during the same period, 546,000 urbanites shifted to rural America. The farm population, for this quarter, made a net gain of 132,000 by the exchange and increased 131,000 additional by excess of births over deaths. There is much of tragedy and despair in this shifting population—farmers unable to hold their property, clutching at the hope of a new start in the cities.

Motor vehicle fuel taxes berber, 1932, are $252,430.70 less assessed for the same month. This represents a loss of $85 and is the largest shrinkage ever occurred in the tax, at R. E.

Hatchery chicks are used by a large part of the commercial poultrymen in this state. The new breeding program calls for certain improvements in the quality of the stock, such as greater average production, greater resistance to disease, and better quality of the eggs. But as pointed out by Dr. L. W. Taylor, "It must be remembered that there will be no improvement in breeding stock unless the commercial man is willing to pay for the benefits he secures. The cheapest chick is often the most expensive in the long run. If the commercial poultryman is to demand a better bred chick he must help the breeder create it. Only by supporting the work of the breeder can the commercial poultryman or the hatchery-man expect to benefit from the increased productiveness and livability secured through better breeding." So as you place your orders for chicks to replace culled birds remember that consumers have a preference; preference can only be satisfied as you encourage breeders in producing what is wanted. The slight extra cost of better chicks is well justified. During the first three months of the year, for instance, 432,000 farmers moved to the city. And during the same period, 546,000 urbanites shifted to rural America. The farm population, for this quarter, made a net gain of 132,000 by the exchange and increased 131,000 additional by excess of births over deaths. There is much of tragedy and despair in this shifting population—farmers unable to hold their property, clutching at the hope of a new start in the cities, and city dwellers, unable to find employment, turning to the farm per food and lodging. While it is impossible to forecast with any certainty, the final result of this criss-crossing migration, there are some delinite indications that the depression will have the effect of increasing America's rural population for many years to come. The rapid mechanization of industry in the cities, entirely separate from the effects of the disturbed economic situation, is one of the factors which is tending to swell farm population. Yet American agriculture has been overproduced in most branches since the end of the World War and is probably incapable of absorbing the city-excess.

Los Angeles Street State Gas Tax In Deepest Plunge November Funds of $3,001,277 Show 7.7 Per Cent Loss Biggest On Record While California citizens are cheerful with the prospect of the holiday season, the state finds itself confronted with the largest decrease in gasoline revenues ever experienced. Motor vehicle fuel taxes for November, 1932, are $252,430.70 less than those assessed for the same month last year. This represents a loss of 7.7 per cent and is the largest shrinkage that has occurred in the tax, according to E. Collins of Redding, chairman of the state board of equalization, in whose office the assessment roll for November was just completed. Taxable distributions for the month amounted to 101,053,107.9 gallons which present total oil company sales with a addition of 1-99th required to arrive at a theoretical production figure. The tax of $3,001,277.38 has been calculated this gallonage with the statutory allowance of one per cent for shrinkage, resulting in a net levy of three cents each gallon sold. "From this total tax must be deducted refunds for nonhighway uses," examined Collins, "so that the net road ends arising out of November gasoline sales will be approximately ten per cent or about $2,700,000." This represents net tax of $90,000 a day, $60,000 of which will be retained by the state and 50,000 apportioned between the counties for road purposes. "In the past, gasoline taxes have eraged a net yield as high as $130,000 daily. While fall and winter months always show some decrease in consumption this sharp drop will necessitate some revision of highway expenditure plans." Workers without further increasing their production.

By order of the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Building & Loan association. FORREST F. FOWLER, Secy. Dated December 29, 1932 Judicial History Is Written by Odd Case Superior Judge Erwin Owen of Bakersfield Tuesday was ordered by the appellate division of the court of appeals to sign the findings in the case of Bertha Briner and Lois Gould, Santa Ana school teachers who took action against the Santa Ana school board to compel certification for tenure. Temporarily sitting here two weeks ago, Judge Owen rendered a decision favoring the teachers, but failed to sign the findings. This is the first case in the history of the California judiciary where a higher court had to order a lower court to sign its own findings.

In the meantime, farm colonization themes to relieve unemployment, would not be entered into hurriedly or without full consideration of the consequences. The new trend, according to certain indications, would seem to point to a greater diversification in agriculture to make the farmer less dependent on cash income from the cities and more self-sufficient on his own farm. There is no major obstacle to such a program at the present time; however, this being ever increasing necessity for cash defray growing tax requirements. It becomes increasingly apparent that agriculture and urban industry are so closely interlocked that there can be no permanent correction of the farm problem until the necessary readjustments have taken place.
