Committees Named To Work For Revision of Rules To Enable More Rural Credits Chairman Palmer of Group Says County Agriculturists Placed In Awkward Position of Seeking to Change Regulations In Order to Get Justified Loans from Government on Values "It is our hope to get the federal government to recognize a fair valuation on Orange county land soon enough so that the farmers of Orange county will be able to take advantage of the emergency rural credits legislation," commented C. A. Palmer, chairman of the Orange county rural credits committee, following the meeting of his committee in Santa Ana. "For many years, we enjoyed not only a good return on our agricultural products produced in Orange county; but, we enjoyed the general prosperity which came to all Southern California, due to rapid growth of population and general development of this area. During that period we did not need the services of the federal land bank and other phases of federal rural credits. Consequently," continued Mr. Palmer, "rules and regulations for making federal farm loans are based upon the land values and general conditions pertaining to general farm conditions. We now find ourselves in the position of having to demonstrate to the federal authorities that these rules and regulations should be changed, and that if we can substantiate our land values of $2500.00 per acre that we should have the same consideration with respect to making a practical loan on that valuation as a farming territory that can only substantiate a land value of $100 or $200 per acre. Due to the fact that many people are in a period of distress at this time, we are attacking this problem with all possible haste. To accomplish this we have divided ourselves into two sub-committees. The first committee will handle all phases concerning water problems which may have to be presented to federal authorities. O. E. Steward, chairman of the water conservation committees of the Orange county farm bureau, and the Associated Chamber of Commerce of Orange county, has accepted the chairmanship of this sub-committee. Harold E. Wahlberg, farm advisor of Orange" Many Kinds of Guns Exhibited 50 Members of Club Frankly All Themselves "Gun Nuts" as They Study Collection Anaheim's "gun nuts" frankly admit it. They joined with a score of others from adjoining districts Saturday afternoon to meet at the Girls' Scout house on North Palm street to exhibit, talk about and further the interests of gun collectors gathered under the name of Southern California Gun Collectors' association. Many kinds of firearms, some of which had been worn from a lifetime of service and most of which were entirely out-of-date as far as modern firing equipment is concerned, drew the attention of the 50 attending members. Earliest of the guns represented a period of 1620. Among those attending the meeting were: Dr. Horton, Floyd E. Stewart, Earl G. Green, C. C. Cowles, A. C. Hunselle, Harry L. Hanson, E. H. Henderson, A. G. Green, and Robert Speed, all of Santa Ana, Elmer Hatcher, E. H. Dahlman, E. E. Hedrick, O. P. Rust, Floyd McCracken, Niles Fiscius, T. F. Morgan and John McCracken, all of many people are in a period of distress at this time, we are attacking this problem with all possible haste. To accomplish this we have divided ourselves into two sub-committees. The first committee will handle all phases concerning water problems which may have to be presented to federal authorities. O. E. Steward, chairman of the water conservation committees of the Orange county farm bureau, and the Associated Chamber of Commerce of Orange county, has accepted the chairmanship of this sub-committee. Harold E. Wahlberg, farm advisor of Orange county and the official representative of the University of California and the United States department of agriculture in Orange county, will act as secretary. The other members on this sub-committee are: Dr. D. D. Waynick, soil and water chemist, and manager of the Associated Laboratory at Anaheim; M. N. Thompson, Orange county flood control engineer; C. R. Browning, Engineer Irvine company; Walter Humphreys, Engineer for the oil companies Waste Water Disposal company; J. E. Lewis, Eng. Yorba Linda Water company; Henry Burdorf, ranched and director Anaheim Union Water company; E. E. Campbell, rancher, member S. A. V. I. company; W. C. Mauerhan, rancher of Katella; C. E. Crumrine, rancher and manager Capistrano county water district; J. A. Murdy, rancher Smeltzer district; J. T. Knudson, rancher La Habra district." Commenting upon this committee Mr. Palmer expressed the opinion that it would be extremely difficult to select in Orange county a small committee with the experience and technical training as is contained in this committee. It not only represents all sections of the agricultural area of Orange county; but provides a balance between engineering and lay experience. "The other committee is to be known as the contact committee and will be the committee which will negotiate with the federal authorities as to the maximum loans they will make per acre, rules and regulations, and handle all contacts with federal authorities on these problems. The membership of this committee will consist of—C. A. Palmer, chairman; R. D. Flaherty, secretary; J. A. Smiley, West Orange, LeRoy Lyon, member of the board of supervisors; B. L. Chandler, Anaheim; F. E. Farnsworth, Santa Ana; Paul Witmer, Mayor of Santa Ana; Bruce McDaniels, Redlands, and A. J. McFadden Santa Ana."

Scientists Tell Sunday's Subject "Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just land true are thy ways, thou King of saints." These words from Revelation 15:3 are the Golden Text in the Lesson-Sermon on "God the Only Cause and Creator" on Sunday in all churches of Christ, Scientist, branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. Among the Bible citations in the Lesson-Sermon are the words of the Psalmist: "Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. His work is honourable and glorious; and his righteousness endureth for ever. He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and full of compassion." One of the correlative passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, says, "Spiritually to understand that there is but one creator, God, unfolds all creation, confirms the Scriptures, brings the sweet assurance or no parting, no pain, and of man deathless and perfect and eternal."

NEW LOWER FARES back east AND BACK New round trips "back east," in addition to the regular Summer Excursions, and the Chicago World's Fair, make a trip east this year the event of a life time, and something no one should miss—there is a Santa Fe fare and service for every taste and pocketbook. Liberal return limits... with stopovers anywhere and choice of return routes provide ample time for a visit to the World's Fair and the folks at home. (Ask about our all-expense tours.) An additional saving is effected by a Round Trip Pullman Fare to mid-western points, which "cuts the cost" 25 per cent for users of the 21-day Standard round trip. For example; to Chicago, the round trip Pullman lower is $35.63, a saving of $11.63.

Growers Resort To Using Trucks Use of Motor Vehicle Nearly Doubled In 1932 Over Year Before, Report Shows COUNT ON ROLPH TO CONTINUE AID FOR CONDEMNED Anti-Capital Bill Dies in Senate So Governor Moved to Comment On Measure Governor Rolph, who can always be counted on to grant one or more reprives to a convict scheduled to hang, has announced he will" continue to zealously protect, to the utmost, the interests of the condemned." The governor was moved to comment on his policy towards condemned murderers, after the anti-capital punishment bill was killed by the senate. Apropos of his tendency towards leniency, the executive proudly observed "I am the only governor in this state who has ever been inside Folsom and San Quentin prisons. Nothing could ever happen to me there. I am told some of the prisoners—both men and women—have my picture in their cells. They like me because they know I'll do everything reasonable to help them out." One newspaperman suggested it was "too bad released felons could not vote." Farm Mortgages Get U. S. Help (Continued from page 1) federal land banks to issue during the next two years $2,000,000,000 of their consolidated, tax-exempt, long-term bonds to bear not to exceed 4 percent, interest to be guaranteed by the United States. The federal government not only guarantees the interest on these securities but congress has made them eligible for 15-day loans from federal reserve banks to member banks, assuring them of a wider market and greater liquidity. These bonds may be used in three ways: 1. Sold to the investing public to secure funds to loan on the security of Sailing the high seas enroute to Brazil are Mrs. Alice La Varre (top), and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Andre La Varre (below), the two women members of the La Varre Brazilian Guiana Expedition headed for unexplored jungles.

Growers Resort To Using Trucks Use of Motor Vehicle Nearly Doubled In 1932 Over Year Before, Report Shows California producers of fresh fruits and vegetables are turning more and more to motor truck transportation to get their products to market, according to the annual report of the state bureau of fruit and vegetable standardization. In 1932 motor trucks carried the equivalent of 28,558 carloads of fresh fruits and vegetables through the 13 inspection stations maintained by the bureau, as compared to the equivalent of 16,273 carloads through the same stations in 1931. The report further showed that Los Angeles is the fourth consuming market in the United States in the volume of fresh fruit and vegetables, and that approximately 70 per cent of the enormous total shipments there reached the market by motor truck. In a general review of the situation the report points out: "During the last 10 years, and especially the last three, the one subject which was of universal interest in the produce industry throughout California was the transportation of fresh fruits and vegetables by motor truck direct from the point of production to marketing terminals." Another section of the report revealed that the fruit pack for 1932 totaled 10,-130,715 cases, the smallest in years. The figures for the principal packs for the last two years were as follows: Apricots, 1932, 1,804,561 cases; 1931, 2,005,724 cases; cherries, 1932, 184,019 cases; 1931, 199,801 cases; yellow cling peaches, 1932, 6,413,972 cases; 1931, 8,348,652 cases; freestone peaches, 1932, 23,542 cases; 1931, 71,966 cases; pears, 1932, 1,418,134 cases; 1931, 1,808,655 cases. In concluding its report the bureau declared county officials and officials of "be various industries had" cooperated in an excellent manner in an effort to obtain high quality products." Farm Land Index Shows Declines (Continued from page 1) brought greatly reduced farm incomes, and precipitated a new wave of forced selling and declining real estate values. next two years $2,000,000,000 of their consolidated, tax-exempt, long-term bonds to bear not to exceed 4 percent, interest to be guaranteed by the United States. The federal government not only guarantees the interest on these securities but congress has made them eligible for 15-day loans from federal reserve banks to member banks, assuring them of a wider market and greater liquidity. These bonds may be used in three ways: 1. Sold to the investing public to secure funds to loan on the security of first farm mortgages which are acceptable security for such bond issues. 2. Exchanged for first farm mortgages existing at the time of the passage of this act, and. 3. After a period of one year such bonds may be sold to refund outstanding issues of federal land bank bonds provided funds from such new bonds are not needed to make new loans. Loans made by the federal land banks, according to the farm loan act, may not exceed 50 percent of the appraised normal value of the land for agricultural purposes plus 20 percent of the insured improvements. Bonds exchanged for first mortgages cannot be in excess of this amount or the amount of the mortgage offered in exchange, whichever is the smaller. Where such exchange is made the farmer pays the bank on the basis of the face value of the bonds exchanged, and the loan is amortized over a long period, bearing not to exceed 4½ percent interest. Each borrower will be required to purchase capital stock to the extent of 5 percent of his new loan, either in the local national farm loan association or the bank. In order to effect an exchange of first mortgages for bonds, it is anticipated that in many cases the amount of such mortgages will have to be curtailed to come within the sum which can be loaned under the terms of the federal farm loan act. The banks also may purchase such mortgages. In exchanging bonds for mortgages or making new loans, the banks will not be relieved of any of their responsibility for making sound investments. Quite separate and district from land bank loans, there is provided a fund of $200,000,000 to be administered by the farm loan commissioner of the new farm credit administration. This fund will be loaned by the commissioner's representatives located in the federal land banks. These loans will be made for the following purposes: 1. Refinancing any indebtedness of the farmer, either secured or unsecured. 2. Providing working capital for farm operations, and 3. Enabling any farmer to redeem or repurchase farm property foreclosed at any time after July 1, 1931. Those eligible to borrow from this fund are actual farmers engaged in farming operations either personally or nationally. Farm Land Index Shows Declines (Continued from page 1) brought greatly reduced farm incomes, and precipitated a new wave of forced selling and declining real estate values. This is illustrated by the Pacific area for the three states of Washington, Oregon, and California. In 1920, the average index values of the Pacific was 156; in 1925, 146; in 1926, 144; in 1927, 143; in 1928, 142; in 1929, 142; in 1930, 142; in 1931, 140; in 1932, 140; and in 1933, 96. For the United States as a whole: In 1920, 170; in 1925, 127; in 1926, 125; n 1927, 119; in 1928, 117; in 1929, 116; in 1930, 115; in 1931, 106; in 1932, 89; and in 1933, 73. Indexes for other geographic divisions as of March 1, 1933, were: Middle Atlantic, '82; south Atlantic, '89; east south central, '79; west south central, '82; and mountain states, '69. California's index from 1920 is: 1920, 167; 1925, 164; 1926, 163; 1927, 162; 1928, 161; 1929, 160; 1930, -160; 1931, 158; 1932, 133; 1933, 109. Few states show comparable figures. Florida went from 178 to 121 in the same period, with one of the best records, while Connecticut, from 137 to 124, is the most uniform of all. During the boom farm period right after the war, North and South Carolinas attained the highest rating, 223 and 230, respectively, but in 1933 they were down to 86 and 57, respectively. Similarly, Minnesota and Iowa went to 213 and then slumped this year to 79 and 58, respectively.

The "money" proved to be stolen bonds of Wilson McRae, and worth $400. fund will be loaned by the commissioner's representatives located in the federal land banks. These loans will be made for the following purposes: 1. Refinancing any indebtedness of the farmer, either secured or unsecured. 2. Providing working capital for farm operations, and 3. Enabling any farmer to redeem or repurchase farm property foreclosed at any time after July 1, 1931. Those eligible to borrow from this fund are actual farmers engaged in farming operations, either personally or through an agent or the principal part of whose income is derived from farming operations, including the personal representative of a deceased farmer. The amount of the mortgage given by any farmer, together with all prior mortgages or other evidences of indebtedness secured by such farm property of the farmer shall not exceed 75 percent of the value thereof as determined upon appraisal, nor shall a loan in excess of $5,000 be made to any one farmer. The loans will be secured by first or second mortgages upon the whole or any part of the farm property, real or personal, including crops, of the farmer. Interest only will be required for a period of three years, after which annual installments on the principal must be paid. Interest will not exceed 5 percent per annum. This law also will prevent joint stock land banks from making any further loans or issuing any additional tax-exempt bonds, except such as are necessary for the refinancing of existing loans or bond issues or for the sale of any real estate now owned or acquired. The farm loan commissioner may make loans from a fund of $100,000,000 to these banks to facilitate their orderly liquidation. Public improvement districts, such as irrigation, drainage, and levee districts, may apply to the reconstruction finance corporation for loans to refinance their projects by purchasing their depreciated securities outstanding, but reduction in indebtedness of such districts obtained by refinancing must be passed on pro rata to the farm-owners in such areas. Loans may be made only when the corporation is convinced of the economic soundness of the project. Discontented Farmer Orders Ad to Sell His Land, Hears It Read and Decides to Remain Preacher Writes That One Afternoon With Chinese Professor Offsets Years of Fault-Finding Mania of American University Professors Decrying United States Government Methods "A discontented farmer hereabouts decided to sell out and move away," writes Dr. Lincoln Long, pastor of the Collingwood Ave. Presbyterian Church of Toledo. "To facilitate matters he called in a real estate expert to draw up an advertisement for the sale of his farm. After a little conference the agent wrote the copy and then read it to the farmer. It was a good piece of work and yet a fair description of the property. 'Read that again,' said the farmer. While it was read he listened keenly. He then arose from the table, walked to the window and looked over the buildings and fields. Turning to the salesman he said, 'I will pay you for the ad but if I own a farm like that I am not going to sell.' "After a little more hysterical mania for finding fault we may discover in time what a real serviceable government we have in this country, especially if we were able to see some of the hunger fighters, home builders and faithful servants quietly carrying on behind the politicians. We ought also to find a cure for the plagues we are importing from our very human national neighbors. They are much like the mischief makers who will not let the bride and groom work out their own salvation during the first year. While in China last year I met a gentleman who knew the internationally famous James Yen. He and his associates are carrying on a remarkable work eliminating illiteracy among the Chinese farmers. Political events and military maneuvers mean no more to him than Jersey mosquitoes do to us. He just works right on, and when history is written it will probably tell how much more he had to do with making it than did the generals. But the real point is that my informant explained how Mr. Yen got his pattern of work from our government. At this present time when we are so unpopular abroad I have just learned from authoritative sources that there them are supported by foreign government subsidies. Dr. James Yen found that the most elaborate project in rural adult education in the world is the cooperative extension-work in agriculture and home economics of the United States government. It has about 6,299 paid employees; and mark this, 250,000 voluntary helpers, folks who work for the love of it! They reach twenty-five million people an annual cost of a fraction over a dollar a year, giving them the most progressive information on all manner of things that make American life enriched."

But the real point is that my informant explained how Mr. Yen got his pattern of work from our government.
