Berry Growers To Incorporate
Organize for Marketing Purposes, Walter Knott On Board of Directors
On Friday, February 24, articles of incorporation for an organization to be known as "Cooperative Berry Growers" were signed and forwarded to the corporation commissioner for his acceptance. This was made known today by Eric E. Eastman, assistant farm advisor in Orange county. W. L. Jackson, marketing specialist, federal state market news service, is working with the association. The incorporating directors are: Walter Knott, Buena Park; J. L. Preston, Norwalk; H. R. Muntzer, San Gabriel; S. H. Garner, Sunland; and S. H. Hastings, Chino. Mrs. W. A. Shaffer, 8141 Woodman avenue, Van Nuys, is acting as secretary of the new organization.
By-laws and growers' contract have been worked out and contact with growers in the field will be carried forward within the next few weeks. The association has as its aim for its first year of operation the reduction of marketing costs, assistance to its members in buying baskets and crates, and, if sufficient volume can be secured, to attempt market stabilization and disposal of surplus.
The regulation of marketnig, advertising, and surplus disposal will only be possible if a comparatively large portion of the Youngberry crop in Southern California is handled cooperatively. A guarantee of fair treatment and that the individual grower will receive all the berries bring, are embodied in the contract and set-up.
Growers will be advised through the press and by direct contact of the provisions of the growers' contract and thus be fully acquainted with the association's plans as soon as the contract is finally approved by the board of directors.

Even Gas Tax Is On The Toboggan
Revenues for January, 1933, Off Nearly Half Million From Same Month Year Ago
Gasoline tax revenues for January showel an alarming decrease over similar revenue in January of 1932, according to a statement by H. G. Cattell, member of the state board of equalization.
A loss of 12.4 per cent was reported, with revenue for January of this year totaling but $2,669,278 compared with a figure of $3,035,629 in the same month of 1932. The difference between these totals was $336,351.
"This loss in revenue is most discouraging," Cattell asserted. "When figures for the entire year 1932 were compiled a loss of but 3.5 per cent was noted, compared with the 1931 revenue. We had hoped this would indicate a change in the downward trend in the gasoline industry."
"Faced with this abnormally high loss for the first month of 1933, it is obvious that our optimism must be tempered with caution."
Sales of gasoling totaled 90,884,805 gallons in January. The Board added 1-99th to sales records for the month to arrive at the production figure as required by law. The tax was calculated on this figure, subject to a one per cent shrinkage deduction, making the net tax three cents a gallon.

Asked what part the Santa Ana basin had taken in the development of the proposed water district, Campbell then further commented: "It became very evident, early in the prosecution of these problems, that only through the organization of a permanent water district in the basin, would it be possible to secure an adjudication of the water rights, not only in the Santa Ana basin in Orange county, but to define the rights all along the river, which are very important to us, being on the lower end of the river.
"A bill was introduced into the legislature two years ago which would have created a water district for this purpose. It failed of passage because sufficient time had not been taken to get all of the different groups together on a common ground. It became apparent as the negotiations progressed on the pending suite of the basin association, and stipulations were being developed, that some permanent organization to protect water rights, and do other necessary water conservation work, would have to be organized.
"The agreement of all parties to cooperate then, because a part of the stipulation agreements. The district water bill now before the people was first drafted by A. W. Rutan, H. C. Head and Judge R. Y. Williams, attorneys for the basin association and Paul Bailey, the basin association's engineer; in cooperation with Mr. Earl of San Francisco, attorney for the Irvine company, and S. M. Hoskins of Los Angeles, attorney for Mrs. Susanna Bryant. Subsequently, valued advice and counsel has been given by water leaders throughout the county, particularly Mrs. Susanna Bryant; Williard Smith, chairman of the board of supervisors; Dr. D. D. Waynick, manager of the Association Laboratories, Anaheim; A. J. McFadden, Santa Ana; and Ross Shafer, president of the Associated Chambers of Commerce.
"The District Bill, as it now stands, is the result of the work of these and other leaders, representing all the water interests in the Santa Ana basin in Orange county."

California Legislature Studies Everything From Liquor To Marriages
Every California county would have own liquor commissioner to enforce regulation in case light wines or beer are legalized by congress, or a bill now before the state legislature.
The county liquor officer would be pointed by the board of supervisors, this main duty would be to collect annual license fee, to be written the bill later.
Looking ahead to the possibility the tenth amendment may be repeal—a companion measure sets up a license tax commission to license manufacturers and distributors of alcohol beverages. The commission would appointed by the governor, and would have three members serving 6 terms.
License taxes provided under the statute are:
- restaurants and Hotels, serving beer meals, $50 a year; wine with drinks, $50; grocery stores and drug stores, selling beer in packages to beumed elsewhere, $25; wine, $25;
- stores selling alcohol of higher content in original packages to be conceived elsewhere, $250; industrial alcohormel, $50; medicinal alcohol per $50; wholesale liquor dealers, sell-to trade only (except beer or wine);
- wholesale beer and wine dealers, going to trade only, $50; manufacturery permit, $10; manufacturing every permit, $10.
Another bill proposes outright repeal the Jones still act, making possession operation of a still a felony.
armed at the annual decrease in triages in California, one lawmaker poses to repeal California's "ginriage" act, which requires 3 days' time.
They ought to get a new name for checking. The sport as it is seen today is anything but the test of strength it was years ago. Today nearly anything is tolerated.
Lack of ice for practice does not bother the hockey team of the Denny Mich., High School. It works out on roller skates.

It is said that the game of football actually originated in Greece in 500 B.C.
Deck tennis, which originated on trans-Atlantic liners, is a good game for any time of the year. A rubber or rope ring and a net is all that is required.
Princeton and Dartmouth will renew football relations November 11 this year. The 1933 game will be played at Palmer Stadium. Princeton. Another game is scheduled for the same field November 24, 1934.
William T. Tilden, 2nd, one of the greatest of all tennis players, now a professional, says he will retire from active play late this year. He intends to establish a chain of tennis clubs.
By an overwhelming margin, the nation's sports experts have decided that the Yankee's feat of winning the American League championship and the World Series was the greatest team achievement of the year. Next in order was Colgate's record in football. Third-running calender of farm legislation, dealing with many of the state's most urgent agricultural problems, awaits the consideration of California lawmakers when they reconvene for the second half of the 1933 session this week.
Headlining the farm calendar are proposals to cope with price cutting and glutted markets, bovine tuberculosis control and indemnification, rehabilitation of irrigation districts and the regulation of motor carriers.
The bitter and long-standing feud between the railroads and the motor truck lines over attempts to regulate and tax the trucks promises to break out anew, with agriculture in somewhat the position of an innocent but interested bystander.
Two major regulatory proposals are awaiting consideration. One plan, fathered by Senator Bert Snyder of Santa Cruz, provides for regulation of all trucks, whether privately or publicly operated, by the state railroad commission. It would require that each truck be equipped with an odometer to permit of a tax on a per-mile and per-ton basis. A second plan, embraced in amendments recommended by the legislative interim committee on motor vehicles, would require that trucks be taxed on a gross weight basis, instead of the present unladen weight basis. This, it is contended, would permit to tax equalization and also facilitate inspections to prevent overloading of trucks.
California farmers, heavy patrons of both the railroads and highway trucking lines, have much at stake in a fair and equitable solution of the problem.
Dependent on both short-haul and long-haul transportation facilities to move his crops, the farmer cannot afford to see either the railroads or the motor carriers crippled, but must insist upon an adjustment which will enable each group to operate efficiently.
armed at the annual decrease in marriages in California, one lawmaker poses to repeal California's "ginriage" act, which requires 3 days' notice of intention to wed.
Other measures before the egislature made:
1. Prohibiting intermarriages of Filipinos and white persons in California.
2. Requiring plaintiff in "heart balm" to file a bond equal to 10 per cent damages sought. This is provided in order to guarantee payment costs in case the suit is dismissed judgment awarded the defendant.
3. Polished the time between granting divorce and the final judgment on one year to three months.
4. Providing that alimony payments mediate stop upon the remarriage of the wife.
5. Living babies born of a marriage is annulled or dissolved by divorce, legal standing as legitimate chillainning state aid to county juvenile arch clinics to $10,000 a year.
6. Reducing from 2 years to 6 months a maximum penalty for failure to give for a minor child.

Good for Two at 50 Cents a Day
You can feed a family of two grown-ups on 50 cents a day, according to Dr. Jes S. Porter, state director of public health.
Essential food, he says, can now be bought as follows:

Next in order was Colgate's record in football. Third-place honors went to the University of Southern California football team.
The country never lacks for sports. In one section of the country there is an archery tournament. The baseball spring training camps are opening this month. Basketball is in full swing all over the country. Elliards tournaments are being held nightly. Bowling is becoming more and more popular. Court tennis is at its height. In some sections dog racing is a great sport. Fencing classes are to be found in hundreds of gymnasiums. Handball is as popular as ever. Ice hockey matches are attracting thousands each week. And so the list could be continued.
Discovers Strange "Headlight" Beast
"Send an officer at once. Some kind of wild animal with a headlight is loose on the highway."
This frightened telephone call sent Traffic Officer Emmett Elmore to the scene in a hurry. He found the animal, crouched on the highway, with something on its head that flashed and gleamed.
Dismounting, Elmore found a badly scared alley cat that had gone shrimp hunting in a tin can. The can stuck on its head and reflected the headlights of the automobiles. The officer pried off the can, the cat spit at him and streaked into the darkness.

present unladen weight basis. This, it is contended, would permit to tax equalization and also facilitate inspections to prevent overloading of trucks.
California farmers, heavy patrons of both the railroads and highway trucking lines, have much at stake in a fair and equitable solution of the problem.
Dependent on both short-heul and long-heul transportation facilities to move his crops, the farmer cannot afford to see either the railroads or the motor carriers crippled, but must insist upon an adjustment which will enable each group to operate efficiently and without handicap of unfair competition.
The vital need in administration of the bovine tuberculosis control act seems to be a simplification of the administration work to cut heavy overhead charges and allow a greater share of the money to go direct to indemnification.
Airing at the elimination of needless delay in payment of the farmer, a bill also has been introduced to require that the state pay its one-third share for slaughtered cattle within 60 days.
One of the most distressing and difficult farm problems before the legislature is the question of rehabilitating the irrigation and reclamation districts to afford relief to overburdened district taxpayers. Many bills designed to aid the districts are awaiting action, foremost of these being the program of Assemblymen Ray Robinson, Merced, J. E. Frazier, Gridley, and Speaker Walter Little, Santa Monica, to put the state behind the irrigation district bonds and thereby bolster their credit.
Designed to eliminate cut-throat competition, Senator Bradford S. Crittenden of Stockton has a measure pending which would give the state department of agriculture dictatorial powers to settle "price wars." The bill gives the director power to investigate, examine or inspect any organization to determine conditions surrounding the marketing of products. Crittenden's contention is that big dairies frequently run in cheap milk to a community, sometimes from tuberculous cattle, to drive out smaller companies.
Perhaps the most revolutionary measure before the legislators, bearing on the problem of price-cutting and demoralized markets, is the plan proposed by Senator Ray Hays and Assemblyman Meeker of Fresno county to "socialize" agriculture. Their bill, setting up an agricultural prorate commission of nine members appointed by the governor, provides that where two-thirds of a farm industry agree on a cooperative program, the other one-third must comply.
The Hays-Meeker program, because it employs compulsion, undoubtedly will encounter stiff opposition and may have fundamental weaknesses, but the seriousness of the overproduction situation, with glutted markets and ruinous
