Oakdale Farm Is This The Oakdale Alm was scheduled for the first-second has been 8th and 9th U.S. Expert Says Barley Growing for Cash To Prove “Highly Speculative Enterprise” Recent Beer Developments May Affect Barley Crop of State, Brewing Outside of Favored Areas Too Much Planting is Discouraged as Uncertain; Prices Paid for Crop Is Reviewed Recent developments affecting the barley crop of California and of the United States have called attention to the extent and the possibilities of the industry. Inquiries regarding barley are on the increase, and some of them are being directed to the state department of Agriculture and to other office sources. Outside of California barley production has jumped in the last 15 years due to its rising popularity as a feed. The record shows, however, that barley acreage in California has decreased by some 100,000 acres in the same period of time, although the decrease in the volume of production was perhaps less pronounced. In the same period the price ranged from an average of $1.41 a bushel, wheih was the quotation in 1919, to 25¢ a bushel, which was the average price for the 1932 crop in California. The possibilities of price increases and increased acreage because of the new opportunities for barley in the brewing business, are factors on which few experts will hazard a guess because of the many uncertainties involved. Before prohibition about one third of the nation’s barley crop went into malt, so that the grower’s chance of a malting premium was about one in three. This year the experts of the United states department of agriculture estimate that the chance of a malting premium will be about one in four, because of the substantial increase in production and the diversion of a larger amount of the crop to a feed basis. Production of barley in California last year covered 1,246,000 acres with a yield of 39,249,000 bushels. It is expected this year that the production will cover approximately 900,000 acres. The following comment has been made by Dr. H. V. Harlan, barley specialist of the United States department of agriculture on the growing of malting barley: “A malting market exists and farmers in certain favored sections can grow barley as a cash crop. Outside these favored sections.” The Farmer's Corner By Ralph H. Taylor Secretary Agricultural Legislative Committee Quality products, honestly packed and labeled—standard commodities which have won the respect and confidence of America's housewives—constitute the California farmer's main opportunity to survive a period of glutted markets and depleted buying power. There may have been some producers, as well as legislators, who doubted the soundness of that truism in times of comparative prosperity, but the present legislature already has furnished strong evidence that no one discounts the tremendous value of standardization during a period of depression. The series of standardization bills, tightening California's grip on the right to be known as a state of quality products, with labels which are a guarantee of contents, has moved forward in the legislature with little or no opposition. The great majority of these bills already have passed the assembly and are before the senate with every indication that they will be approved by that house and enacted into law. It is worthy of note that standardization has actually proved itself, beyond question of anyone connected with the agricultural industry, during the past few years. Four years ago, due to failure of some of the producers as well as consumers to appreciate the full value of the system, it was modified and weakened. Today there is a general demand from all interested agencies for a return to the finest standards in the nation. One of the most vital of the new standardization acts is a bill by Assemblyman Edward Craig of Orange county giving the director of agriculture authority to prescribe regulations for the sampling of fruits, nuts and vegetables in package and other lots, for official use in determining the grade and conditions of the entire lot. This measure, of unusual importance from the enforcement standpoint, has passed the assembly and is now before the senate. The grapefruit standardization act, providing for a higher sugar-acid ratio in the desert areas, especially the Imperial and Coachella valleys, also has passed the lower house and seems certain of final enactment. Also in the Senate, following favorable action in the lower house, is the lettuce standardization act, which clears up ambiguities in the present act and provides for more satisfactory marking of packages as to contents. Still another standardization bill which has won assembly approval is the measure setting up high standards for Persian honeydew and honeyball. Production of barley in California last year covered 1,246,000 acres with a yield of 39,249,000 bushels. It is expected this year that the production will cover approximately 900,000 acres. The following comment has been made by Dr. H. V. Harlan, barley specialist of the United States department of agriculture on the growing of malting barley: "A malting market exists and farmers in certain favored sections can grow barley as a cash crop. Outside these favored areas, however, growing barley in the hope of malting premiums is a highly speculative enterprise. Where malting varieties yield less than the varieties usually grown for feed, the possible rewards do not as a rule balance the risks. Farmers in such localities if they need feed should plant the barley likely to yield best. Where land will produce as much malting barley per acre as feed barley, farmers are fully justified in growing the malting varieties." Ask Raising of Sugar Minimum Propose 19 Per Cent As Lowest For Seedless Varieties of Grapes A measure designed to stimulate both the sale and the consumption of the Thompson and Malaga varieties of grapes in their original form through raising the legal minimum sugar test from 17 to 18 percent in all districts of California with the exception of the Coachella and imperial Valleys, has passed the state senate. The bill is intended to take full advantage of the increasing demand for these varieties as table grapes, by increasing their palatability. The bill was introduced by Senator J. I. Wagy of Bakersfield. During the past month the bureau of fruit and vegetable standardization of the state department of agriculture has received several resolutions and many requests from the growers of these varieties in the San Joaquin valley to raise the minimum legal requirement from 18% to 19%. A large committee of growers met with state officials a few days ago requesting that this bill be amended in the assembly agriculture committee changing the requirement of 19%. The bureau of fruit and vegetable standardization is now contacting some 500 growers to determine whether or not a majority desires to increase to 19%. Extensive investigation by the division of viticulture of California, college of agriculture has shown conclusively that Thompson... providing for a higher sugar-acid ratio in the desert areas, especially the Imperial and Coachella valleys, also has passed the lower house and seems certain of final enactment. Also in the Senate, following favorable action in the lower house, is the lettuce standardization act, which clears up ambiguities in the present act and provides for more satisfactory marking of packages as to contents. Still another standardization bill which has won assembly approval is the measure setting up high standards for Persian, honeydew and honeyball melons. Among other standardization measures which have passed one house of the legislature and are fairly certain of becoming law are bills setting up improved standards for cantaloupes, persimmons, dates, walnuts and avocados. Throughout the discussion of the various standardization bills there has been clearly evidenced an appreciation of the fact that California agriculture, by reason of its reputation for better products, honestly packed and labeled, has been in a preferred position during the present depression. No one would deny that California farmers have been hard hit by the world wide economic upheaval, but every record indicates that California agriculture has felt the weight of the depression less than other areas. And it has held a preferred position mainly by reason of two factors: 1st, better cooperative marketing agencies. 2nd, standardized products of recognized quality. The purchaser with little money to spend is determined to get value for his dollar. And California products, due in large measure to good standardization legislation, have measured up as the best values on the market. Oakdale Festival Is This Week-End The Oakdale Almond Festival which was scheduled for the week-end of the first-second has been postponed to the 8th and 9th. At the present allot every penny and friend and helpmate dren, and my friend myself and to us they members of this conceive since our greatest w families' finances, th interesting news to u Extensive investigation by the division of viticulture of the University of California, college of agriculture has shown conclusively that Thompson seedless and Malaga varieties to be of good eating quality when produced in the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys, should attain a minimum sugar test of not less than 19%. The department concurs with the results of this investigation, although, as with standardization requirements of other crops it feels that the specific regulations should be promulgated and agreed to by the growers themselves. If a large majority of the growers of these varieties of grapes are in favor of these results, they will have the hearty endorsement of the department. The bureau will be glad to receive any comments for or against the proposed 19% legal minimum sugar test for the varieties and districts mentioned above and requests those who write in to state their location, the number of acres that are planted to these varieties and the reasons for the views taken on this subject. Road is Repaired Near Town of Baden Approximately one-fifth of a mile of U. S. No. 101 between Baden and Lawndale is being reconstructed. During rains, this section has caused some inconvenience. The highway is being raised on account of difficulty due to drainage. The detour is rather rough, but may be negotiated without difficulty.

California Sixth In Forest Costs California ranks only sixth in the total amount of money appropriated in 1932 for forestry purposes by 46 states and Hawaii and Puerto Rico, according to a report received from the U.S. forest service at Washington, D.C. In order of amount of appropriations, the leading states are: New York, $2,014,458; Pennsylvania, $1,174,080; Wisconsin, $708,638; Michigan, $529,248; Massachusetts, $427,358; and California, $338,835. California spent $281,267 for fire protection and the balance for administration, purchase of lands, maintenance, research and extension. Four states, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and New York, spent more than California for fire prevention, and the first spent the most on forestry education. New York expended $615,530 on reforestation, followed by Hawaii with $123,189 and Wisconsin, $76,910. New York also led by a large margin in expenditure for the eradication of tree diseases, $75,000, and the control of forest insect pests, $121,000. "Fortune comes to all that come not late" —LONGFELLOW. OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS AT THE DOOR OF NEWSPAPER ADVERTISERS The following letter, written by a housewife to her newspaper, sets forth clearly why she prefers newspaper advertising: Dear Editor: At the present time when I, as guardian of our family parse, have to allot every penny and dime to its purpose, I find the newspapers my best friend and helpmate. My circle of activity is small. My home, my children, and my friends, take up all of my time. Most housewives are like myself and to us the newspaper is the only medium that keeps us in touch with the world. It groups us with our neighbors and townfolks into members of this community. It forms a bond between them and us, and, since our greatest worry is to make ends meet and administrate our At the present time when I, as guardian of our family parse, have to allot every penny and dime to its purpose, I find the newspapers my best friend and helpmate. My circle of activity is small. My home, my children, and my friends, take up all of my time. Most housewives are like myself and to us the newspaper is the only medium that keeps us in touch with the world. It groups us with our neighbors and townfolks into members of this community. It forms a bond between them and us, and, since our greatest worry is to make ends meet and administrate our families' finances, the news from the stores will always be the most interesting news to us. Newspaper advertising enables me to budget my expenditures without effort and waste of time. I prefer newspaper advertising because it is not offensive—I can turn to it at my leisure. It does not spoil the enjoyment of good reading and good news. It is not forced upon me, therefore does not cause me to resent its presentation; besides I know I can find it again if I want to refer to it. If it is known to the advertisers that we housewives spend 85 percent of our families' earnings—I have read that somewhere—it should also be known to them how friendly we feel toward newspaper advertising and how we abhor and resent advertising that comes to us over the radio, spoils our landscapes with horrid billboards, or litters our porches with handbills that are never read. I appreciate this occasion to express my opinion in regards to advertising and hope that your campaign will do much to relieve us of unsightly, disagreeable, and unwelcome advertising. MRS. HENRIETTA PAGE, Housewife, Tulare, California. Anaheim Gazette PHONE 2414
