Recommends Federal Government Control of Interstate Quarantines of States Committee On Plant Quarantine Believes Congress Should Pass Legislation Putting Recommendation In To Law As Means To Prevent Retaliatory, Unfair and Unjustifiable Quarantines Interstate quarantines promulgated by states should be valid only on condition that they meet with the approval of the federal secretary of agriculture as to necessity and method of execution. This recommendation is made by the committee of the University of California, college of agriculture appointed by Dean C. B. Hutchison to make a survey of the plant quarantine problem in this state. If congress should pass legislation providing for the enactment of this recommendation into law, the committee believes it would prevent retaliatory, unfair or otherwise unjustifiable state quarantines. Goodrich Tire Aide Confident District Manager Returns From Convention to Report General Uptrend In Business J. E. Wacksmuth, Los Angeles district manager of the B. F. Goodrich Rubber company, returned to Los Angeles recently following a series of conferences at the company's principal offices in Akron, Ohio. "The committee believes," says the report to Dean Hutchison, "that the quarantine against citrus melanose is no longer justified, on the ground that it has occurred in several citrus districts in California for many years and is of no importance; and that the citrus canker quarantine against Florida is unjustified on; the ground that this disease has not been found in Florida for nearly six years and apparently has been eradicated. It is believed that these two quarantines should be rescinded. The federal domestic bulb quarantine is very difficult to justify, either on the grounds of necessity or effectiveness. "In spite of the fact that international quarantines are enforced exclusively under federal authority, the state of California is paying practically the entire cost for protection of about three-fifths of the Pacific shore line of the United States, from invasion of foreign pests and diseases. It is believed by the committee that the federal government should relieve the California taxpayers of this burden." The committee which have made the survey was composed of Prof. Harry S. Smith, Riverside, chairman; and Professors Henry J. Quayle, Riverside, and E. O. Essig, Berkeley, entomologists; Howard S. Fawcett, Riverside, and Ralph E. Smith, Berkeley, plant pathologists; and George M. Peterson and J. E. WACKSMUTH Wacksmuth reported that confidence in the future of the tire and rubber business was general throughout the Goodrich organization, according to word received here today by Jack Gledhill, local Goodrich dealer. "I found the executive staff of Goodrich confident that the recent general upturn in business will be maintained and broadened during the coming months," Mr. Wacksmuth declared. "Officials at our Akron headquarters were particularly enthusiastic about the sales figures on Goodrich first line tires for the three months ending last September 30, as compared to the same period in 1932. Sales of first line tires for July, August and September this year were approximately 300 per cent greater than for those same months last year. “This great increase in sales is attributed to general business gains and to the introduction of Goodrich, early this year of its new tire, the Golden Ply Safety Silvertown. Public acceptance of this new tire has been amazing in every section of the country. “Another new Goodrich product, the 'Electro-Pak', an automobile storage battery of strikingly distinctive and unique design, has just been announced. Made in sizes for all popular makes of cars, the battery unit is completely encaused in a hard rubber protective cover of modernistic design. This is the first time this type of construction has been used on an American made battery.” CROP DIVERSITY AMAZES SOUTH AFRICA SENATOR Development of agriculture in California was termed "amazing" recently when the department of agriculture was visited by Senator Francois Stephanus Malan, representing the governor general of the Union of South Africa. Senator Malan, on a tour of the state, was particularly impressed with the entire cost for protection of about three-fifths of the Pacific shore line of the United States, from invasion of foreign pests and diseases. It is believed by the committee that the federal government should relieve the California taxpayers of this burden." The committee which have made the survey was composed of Prof. Harry S. Smith, Riverside, chairman; and Professors Henry J. Quayle, Riverside, and E. O. Essig, Berkeley, entomologists; Howard S. Fawcett, Riverside, and Ralph E. Smith, Berkeley, plant pathologists; and George M. Peterson and H. R. Tolley, Berkeley, economists. The committee considered many phases of plant quarantine in its report, pointing out that the quarantine serves a useful purpose in preventing or delaying the spread of pests and diseases, provided that quarantines are maintained within reasonable biological and economic limits. It also emphasized that quarantine should be used only for protection of crops against disease or pests, and never as an economic barrier to prevent competition. The report says, "Insect pests and plant diseases often appear more serious to those who do not have them than to those who do. Exaggeration of the danger from pests and diseases is unnecessary and in the long run will weaken public support of plant quarantine." In a foreword in the report, Dean Hutchison points out that the University was reluctant to undertake such a study, since the institution is not engaged in law enforcement work of any kind. However, upon the insistence by the state chamber of commerce, concurred in by C. H. Mecks, then state director of agriculture, and Lee A. Strong, chief of the federal bureau of plant quarantine, the work was done. The report is published as Bulletin No. 553 of the college of agriculture, and may be secured by writing it or from the farm advisor's office. Dozen Quarantine Stations Closed Lack of traffic has necessitated the closing of 12 highway inspection stations maintained by the state bureau of plant quarantine. Stations closed include Ravendale, Merrillville, Susanville, Chilcoat, Dog Valley, Brockway, State Line, Woodfords, Cleville, Bridgeport, Benton, Westgaard Pass. All highway stations on the Arizona and Oregon borders will be maintained throughout the year, it was announced. Car Victims Pay Little To Medics Automobile accidents are poor pay to the medical profession, Dr. Lewis, president of the medical profession. CROP DIVERSITY AMAZES SOUTH AFRICA SENATOR Development of agriculture in California was termed "amazing" recently when the department of agriculture was visited by Senator Francois Stephanus Malan, representing the governor general of the Union of South Africa. Senator Malan, on a tour of the state, was particularly impressed with the wide variety of products grown in the state. After leaving Sacramento he planned a tour of the agricultural college at Davis and the Napa wine district. “There is no need to worry over competition between the products of California and South Africa,” he said. “Our seasons are exactly opposite. Car Victims Pay Little To Medics Automobile accidents are poor pay to the medical profession, Dr. Lewis, president of the American Medical association, told a convention of that group at Salt Lake City. Patients taken to hospitals from automobile accidents are usually retained for a longer period than other sick people, Dr. Lewis said. Yet the revenue from such patients is far below diseases, maternity cases and others. Tammany In Struggle To Regain Power Once again in the cycle of years New York’s Tammany is fighting to retain its political powers. Mayor John P. O’Brien, Tammany candidate, left, asks reelection. Joseph V. McKee, center, “Recovery Party” candidate, said to have Washington support, is running as Independent Democrat, and Fiorello H. La Guardia, right heads the Fusion ticket. ANAHEIM GAZETTE Society in "Silks" More than a dozen of New York's ultra social set donned jockey silks last week to ride in a race for lady jockeys in the U. S. Hunts Racing Ass'n on Long Island.

Fewer Festive Birds Are Iced Eupply of Turkeys In Cold Storage On October 1, Half of Total of Last Year Cold storage turkey stocks in California on October 1 were, materially The FARMERS CORNER by RALPH H-TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California Agriculture, in recent years, has developed ramifications and complexities which are a far-cry from the simple fundamentals of planting cultivating and harvesting of other days. Even the dirt farmer who's "proud of it" no longer scorns the technicians of the industry—the experts who labor afar from the fields, in offices and laboratories, to solve the myriad perplexities of modern agriculture. Typifying the value of this technical work which goes on "back-stage" is the "news behind the news" in recent decisions bearing on the state sales tax and its application to agriculture. The state board of equalization, in this instance, announced the final results in the following ruling: "Gross receipts from the sale of feed to persons engaged in the business of selling dairy, poultry and livestock products are not taxable... If, however, the purchaser is not engaged in the business of selling dairy, poultry and livestock products, the gross receipts from the sales of feed to him are taxable." That ruling saved California farmers many thousands of dollars—savings to which they were legally entitled, but which they might not have achieved, except for "experts." Behind the scenes, is a story of carefully weighed, judicious findings of tax experts, legal experts and—most important of all, from the farmer's standpoint—nutrition experts. The sales tax act embodied a basic principle that the 2½ per cent levy against sales should be reduced. Hop Growers Feast Over-Productivity Spokesman and Aides Told Contact Federal Agriculture Authorities for Policy The newly appointed California cultural prorate commission met cently in the offices of the department of agriculture, made temporary office permanent, deferred the election of permanent secretary until such time as the services of a full time assistant be necessary, and urged representatives of the hop growing industry to attempt to solve their difficulties under federal agricultural administration as much as it appeared that the situation they presented regarding reservation of acreage was one that would properly qualify for action under new law. A resolution was adopted urging grower groups to take all necessary legal steps regarding conforming with the law before their matters were submitted to the commission. Chair Arthur McFadden explained that the commission would have a summary of the law prepared and would render assistance possible of a general nature but emphasized that no formal action by the commission could reasonably expected until the provisions of the prorate law were met and the necessary petitions filed. The hop growers spokesman, Irvine S. Marks, of Sacramento, attorney for the United Hop Growers of California said the problem of his industry was the fear of over-production next year rather than present marketing problems. He was accompanied to the meeting by seven directors: S. Ronney, Sacramento; Peter Bradley San Francisco; George Beltzel, Sheldon L. Small, Sacramento; Fred L. Kirk Sacramento; K. L. Loudall, Woodland and Paul Peterson, Elk Grove. Murray indicated that his organization, which he said controls about 75 per cent, the hops grown in California, would Fewer Festive Birds Are Iced Eupply of Turkeys In Cold Storage On October 1, Half of Total of Last Year Cold storage turkey stocks in California on October 1 were, materially lighter than at the same time last year and were under the average October 1 stocks for the past five years, according to a report issued by the federal-state marketing service. The service is maintained by the United States department of agriculture, bureau of agricultural economics, with the market information service, state department of agriculture cooperating. Stocks of the festive birds two years ago and four years ago, however, were slightly lighter than those of this year, the report showed. Present supply of refrigerated turkeys in California was estimated at 191,000 pounds as of October 1, less than half the amount on hand September 1 of this year. At that time 402,000 pounds were available in cold storage. On October 1, 1932, 468,000 pounds were on hand. The report added: "Total holdings of all dressed poultry in the United States on October 1 amounted to 50,156,000 pounds; or about 36% more than were held a year previous, but were about equal to average. Stocks of broilers, fryers, roasters, ducks and miscellaneous poultry were increased during September, while holdings of turkeys and fowls were reduced. Total stocks showed a net increase during September of 2,367,000 pounds, as compared with 6,378,000 pounds during September 1932, and an average increase of 7,936,-000 pounds. October 1 holdings consisted of the following: Broilers, 11,802,000 pounds; fryers, 3,098,000 pounds; roasters, 5,688,000 pounds; fowls, 10,838,000 pounds; turkeys, 2,767,000 pounds; ducks, 5,193,000 pounds; Miscellaneous, 10,770,000 pounds." "October 1 dressed poultry stocks in the Pacific section were heavier than a year previous but a trifle under average. Holdings showed a net reduction of 88,000 pounds during September, as compared with 676,000 pounds during September, 1932, and an average reduction of 288,000 pounds." Thermometers To Be Tested Free Fruit-Frost Service of U. S. Behind the scenes, is a story of carefully weighed, judicious findings of tax experts, legal experts and—most important of all, from the farmer's standpoint—nutrition experts. The sales tax act embodied a basic principle that the 2½ per cent levy against sales should be applied but once. In other words, the act barred "pyramiding," or "double-taxation." California farmers through their state-wide organizations, immediately set up the contention, both before the legislature and before the board of equalization, that a tax on feedstuffs in most instances would be "double taxation," inasmuch as the farmer's products—produced by the feedstuffs—would be taxable when sold on the market. There were a good many who scoffed at this contention, but the farmer, fortunately, was able to prove his case by hard scientific facts gathered by nutrition experts over a long period of years. Clinching the contention that it can be accurately determined how much feed goes into eggs, milk, meat, etc., Dr. Edwin C. Voorhies of the economics division of the college of agriculture established that the feed requirements of a 1000-pound cow practically double when she comes into milk production. Producing 22 pounds of milk, 50 per cent of the cow's feed will be used for maintenance and 50 per cent for the production of milk; he demonstrated When the same cow jumps its milk production to 33 pounds, 60 per cent of the feed goes into milk and only 40 per cent into maintenance. And if the cow gives 44 pounds of milk, 80 per cent of her feed is transformed into milk with only 20 per cent required for maintenance. Shifting to hogs, Dr. Voorhies proves that about 5 pounds of digestible food are required per 1000 pounds of live weight for maintenance. But if 100 to 150-pound hogs are being fattened for market, about 35 pounds of feedstuffs are required for each 1000 pounds live weight — indicating that approximately 30 pounds of feed will become meat. Ordinarily, he reports, 85 per cent of the feed given to hogs is required to produce pork chops, roasts, bacon, sausages and other table delicacies. Another nutrition expert enters the field in the person of Dr. W. E. Newlon, poultry extension specialist, when the relative requirements of chickens and eggs are considered. With hens in 50 per cent production—a comparatively low average for California—Dr. Newlon reports that 43 per cent of the hen's feed goes into making eggs. Thermometers To Be Tested Free Fruit-Frost Service of U. S. Weather Bureau To Pick Up Mercury Tubes Word has been received by the agricultural extension service from Harold Rathbone, meteorologist, that the fruit-frost service of the United States weather bureau will test, free of charge, growers' thermometerate that are brought in at the beginning of the season. The following dates have been set on which the thermometers will be picked up by Mr. Rathbone for testing: November 13—All packing houses at La Habra, Fullerton, Placentia, Yorba Linda, Olive, Anaheim and Garden Grove. November 17—All packing houses at Orange, Tustin and Santa Ana. It is absolutely necessary that the thermometers be in the packing houses early on the morning of the dates specified, otherwise they will not be tested this season. Furthermore, it is necessary to have each thermometer tagged on the thermometer with the owner's name and the name of the citrus association. Several thousand instruments are tested each season, and unless each thermometer is tagged in accordance with the above instructions, there is great danger of loss of the thermometer or unnecessary delay. California’s Cars More Than Germany’s California, with 5,600,000 population, has more than twice as many automobiles as all of Germany, with 65,-000,000 population, reports the Automobile Club of Southern California. Los Angeles County alone has more automobiles than Germany.

Marks at his organization, which controls about 75 per cent. of grown in California, would Market Division At Sacramento The division of market enforcement, state department of agriculture, which has maintained its headquarters in San Francisco, were moved to the department offices at Sacramento on November 1, according to A. A. Brock, director of agriculture. The chief, assistant chief and four clerks moved to Sacramento from San Francisco. Service branches of the division will be maintained both in San Francisco and in Los Angeles. The division, of which C. J. Carey is chief, has the work of enforcing and administrating the produce dealer's act, now extensively amended and included in the new agricultural code. Under this law, California growers may secure settlement or monies due them from dealers and wholesale handlers to whom they have sold or consigned their farm products. Farm products include all fruits and vegetables, poultry, livestock, honey and cut flowers. All wholesale handlers of these products are required to secure a yearly license from the division. This license is subject to revocation in the case of failure to pay or to account. Through the agency of regulatory division, over $10,000 monthly yis returned to the growers without charge to them, Carey said. Chimney Tumbles She Escapes Fire When the brick chimney of her home crashed through the kitchen roof, Mrs. George Shepherd of Chico investigated and discovered the building in flames. Basly engaged in canning fruit Mrs. Shepherd failed to hear the crackling of burning timbers, after the fire had broken out in another part of the house. The building was totally destroyed. Moth-Eaten Ear Bothers Lodi Man Any move for the complete extermination of moths will probably be heartily endorsed by George Flint, of Lodi. Preparing his evening meal over an open fire along the highway recently, Flint experienced a severe stinging in his right ear. As the agony increased Flint was rushed to a local hospital. Physicians removed a moth which had entered the ear and started flapping its wings in an effort to get free. WATCH REPAIRING Prices Consistent With Quality of Work KENDRICK'S 155 W.
