Exchange Directors Urge Local Groups To Sign New Regional Marketing Pact Give Unanimous Approval and Authority for Officers to Sign California-Arizona Orange and Grapefruit Agreement Preliminary to National Citrus Marketing Agreement Unanimous approval and authority for Exchange officers to sign along with recommendation for its prompt signature by local associations was voted by the board of directors of the California Fruit Growers Exchange Wednesday on the marketing agreement for California and Arizona oranges and grapefruit which arrived from Washington in final form only Tuesday. Similar agreements for these fruits grown in Florida and Texas are up for approval, and the proposed agreements for all four states include a national stabilization plan in identical form, according to Paul Armstrong, general manager of the Exchange. “This is the final and official form of the California and Arizona agreement as approved by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace for submission to all shippers,” said Mr. Armstrong. “When signed by shippers representing a substantial majority of our orange and grapefruit crops, the agreement will be signed and declared in operation by the secretary.” Mr. Armstrong said that the printed forms would be distributed within the next few days and that it was expected that local associations would act on them promptly. It is still the objective to have the agreement in operation for the start of naval orange shipments. This final agreement is a composite of the views of California and Arizona shippers, plus some of the views on broader principles of citrus shippers from other states and of the agricultural adjustment administration, which has included ample safeguards in the public’s interest and in the interest of the unattached grower or small packer. “Many Exchange associations have already taken action, giving authority to their officers to sign, and meetings are being held every day,” he said. “As soon as the California and Arizona Rolland A. Vandegrift, finance director, indicated he did not believe the warrant system necessary. The treasury could continue borrowing from the highway fund, or gas taxes could be diverted, he said. But Controller Ray L. Billey pointed out that the highway fund did not have enough to meet the general fund debt. And Rolph refused to borrow any more than necessary, for fear of curtailing highway work that is providing employment for thousands. The general fund is short approximately $10,000,000, and must borrow about $3,000,000 more in December. These sums will be repaid, starting early in 1924, from sales tax returns. Meanwhile, however, warrants will be issued—probably $20,000,000 worth between now and next August. And when they are recalled, the treasury again will be "busted" and new warrants will be registered. University claims and interest and redemption of bonds will be paid in cash. Of course, self-supporting departments like the highway division, corporation and real estate commissioners and the like, are not included in the general fund and will not be affected by the warrant system. All hope of pulling California out of the "red" is based on the sales tax That's why financial directors of the state are so anxious to leave it alone, at least until next summer. Even if the tax should return nearly $100,000,000 in two years, there would remain some $20,000,000 or more to raise before the budget could be balanced. No person or group can be blamed for the situation, finance heads believe. Cost of government mounted steadily during the past 10 years, due to increasing demands and necessity of enlarging departments. Revenues did not increase proportionately, and as a result, the state found itself with nothing in the treasury. The situation was inevitable, and was hastened by the depression which cut revenues lower and added new burdens—in various forms of unemployment aid—to the general fund. The sales tax may become a permanent fixture. Either that, or many state departments must be eliminated to slash expenditures, experts believed. The latter would result in hundreds or several thousand losing their jobs, and would halt many projects undertaken by the state. This final agreement is a composite of the views of California and Arizona shippers, plus some of the views on broader principles of citrus shippers from other states and of the agricultural adjustment administration, which has included ample safeguards in the public's interest and in the interest of the unattached grower or small packer. "Many Exchange associations have already taken action, giving authority to their officers to sign, and meetings are being held every day," he said. "As soon as the California and Arizona agreement and those from Florida and Texas are in effect, the secretary of agriculture will issue a proclamation declaring the national citrus marketing agreement in operation, and everyone in the business of shipping these fruits will be operating under federal license." Highlights of these agreements which are of great interest to everyone in the industry are: They will insure rigid enforcement of prorate allotments by everyone engaged in shipping oranges and grapefruit in interstate commerce. Every shipper and every grower who markets his own fruit will be under federal license. Insuring absolute fairness to all in opportunity to supply his share of the total market. Two proration districts would be set up, one covering part of California, Arizona and Nevada adjacent to producing areas, and the other the balance of the United States and Canada. Weekly estimates of the volume of fruit to be shipped into each of these two districts will be determined by a distribution committee, and definite prorates allotted to all shippers. A grower's advisory committee and a Arizona consisting of eight members each will be selected by the varialistribution committee for California our shippers. Members of the growers' advisory committee must be growers. Basically, the regional agreements and the national stabilization plan are similar to prorate plans used by the California Fruit Growers Exchange, and used successfully this year by the several shipping organizations that are parties to the valencia stabilization agreement. Itunes in Southern California, particularly, but there is considered little likelihood of Rolph calling a special legislative session to propose a substitute. There has been no tax form suggested that would replace the sales tax in effectiveness. A liquor tax would help, but it would not return enough to permit exemption of foodstuffs from the sales tax, treasury heads insisted. The last legislature turned down a bill for taxing liquor. The governor vetoed a state income tax bill. The people voted against diversion of gasoline taxes to the general fund. The sales tax is the only major revenue producer remaining, aside from property Be Discuss Frid (Continued from) and agricultural difficulty. "This is a growers' role to you if you attempted to do your problems that out nationally," says Sara a real problem ahead only be worked out by ing together. Come and questions concerning this discussion. Mr McDaniel says you do this. "This meeting is spanners of the Orange packing houses in order you this man, who has fully for the growers or regardless of shipping and hear him. He has and a story to tell."

BRUCE BARTON writes of "THE MASTER EXECUTIVE" Supplying a week-to-week inspiration for the heavy-hardened who will find every human trial paralleled in the experiences of "The Man Nobody Knows." THE MASTER So we come up to the end. To the final tests of a man's living— How does he bear disappointment? How does he die? For two years it seemed almost certain that Jesus would prevail. He himself was sure of it. We have marked the dramatic success with which his work began. We have watched the crowds flock about him in the marketplace; we have heard the cheers that greeted his victories over shrewd antagonists, and the murmured awe when a sick man rose and walked. Reports of his triumphs preceded him everywhere so that men competed for the honor of feeling his host, and there was friendliness in his audiences that made almost anything seem possible. And why not? If, by accepting his message, men could be lifted up, transformed into sons of God, heirs of eternity, why should any be so stubborn or so foolish as to oppose? Surely such Truth must conquer. If you read the story carefully you can see how his tone and manner grew in confidence. In hours of exalted communion he stood face to face with God, felt his own sorrow, knew that he could lift the hearts of men as no other had ever lifted them. The knowledge thrilled him with ecstasy, "I am the Way," he cried, and he called on his friends to free themselves, to cast their burdens upon the Lord, to believe more, rejoice more, expect more of God. Those who listened in those days were profoundly impressed. Even the most callous yielded grudging admiration. "Never man so spake," said they. As for the multitude, its enthusiasm would brook no halfway measures. They take him by force and make him king. Then came the change. His home town was first, to turn against him. Picture, if you will, the enthusiasm with which he planned his visit to it. Nazareth was little and despised, a jest among the wits of the day. When he healed a sick man in Capernaum, it pleased him to think that the report would be carried back to Nazareth. When he drove the plunderers from the Temple he realized that, in the fame which had come to him, his home town would have a share. He had lifted the little village out of obscurity. And now, in the height of his glory, he was going back. Copyright, Bobbs-Merrill Co. Michigan Auto King WHAT HENS KAT The feeding of the poultry flock is of the utmost importance if heavy egg production is to be obtained. Foods are made up of compounds called nutrients into which the foods are broken before being used in sustaining living processes. These nutrients are proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, vitamins and water. Proteins are always necessary in the diet. They cannot be stored in the body for future use and, as they are used to build tissues and repair worn out tissues of plants and animals, and are the basis of all living tissue, they are probably the most important part of the entire ration. They are the most expensive nutrient to purchase and the hardest to produce at home. The proportion of protein usually determines the price of the feed. Carbohydrates constitute the greater proportion of the nutrients of feeds and include starches, sugar, and fibre, which are chiefly valuable in producing heat and energy. Nearly two-thirds of our common grains are carbohydrates, and they are the cheapest portion of the ration. Fats serve the same purpose, or a similar purpose to carbohydrates and have an energy value that is 2.25 times that of carbohydrates. Fats are found in all feeds, vegetable products and animal tissues. The ash is the part of the grain, plant or food left after burning and destroying all organic matter. It is very necessary to egg production. The ash content of the ration is cheap and, until recently, little attention was paid to the ash content of the ration for laying hens. During the last few years the minerals in the ration have been receiving an increasing amount of attention. Water aids the softening of the food. French Seeking Data On Insects As evidence that California is conceded to be in the front ranks in the development of the most efficient methods of dealing with insect pests injurious to agriculture, the French government, through its director of agronomic research, has written to the state department of agriculture here for information as to how California methods and specifications could be adapted for use there, it is learned. The letter asking for the information was written by Prof. Paul Vayssiere, associate chief of the institute of agronomic research, and was directed to D. B. Mackie, supervisor of the entomological service of the state department of agriculture. The institute of which Prof. Vayssiere is the head is that part of the French ministry of agriculture which deals with the control of plant pests and diseases. In his letter to Mr. Mackie, the French expert asked for a detailed statement concerning agricultural commodities which it is necessary to treat by vacuum fumigation, and fumigants used, dosage, vacuum, fumigation cycle and other pertinent data. The information. Prof. Vayssiere said, is desired because the French government recently has installed three fumigation stations, presumably at ports of entry, for the treatment of plant material. Mr. Mackie has been in correspondence with Prof Vayssiere for a number of years and had furnished him with specifications covering the construction and operation of fumigators. The head of the state entomological service, acting at the request of the French government, wrote a chapter dealing with vacuum fumigation which was included in a History of Disinfection-printed by the French ministry of agriculture in 1923. The list of subjects included in the Be Discussed Friday Night (Continued from page 1) and agricultural difficulties. "This is a growers' meeting to bring to you the attempted solution of some of your problems that are being worked out nationally," says Smale. "We have a real problem ahead of us and it can only be worked out by all of us working together. Come and ask the man questions concerning the subject under discussion. Mr. McDaniel asks especially that you do this. "This meeting is sponsored by the managers of the Orange county M.O.D. packing houses in order to bring before you this man, who has labored so faithfully for the growers of Orange county, regardless of shipping affiliations. Come and hear him. He has a real message and a story to tell." RAMBLING ROUND NEW YORK with HUGH KENNY He was a smart young freight clerk for the Kellogg Company out in Battle Creek, Michigan. Discovered how to save his firm half a million a year in freight charges. But said nothing. Instead he sought a lawyer. Then, ignoring minor impediments such as vice-presidents and secretaries he finally entered the president's office. "I can save you half a million a year," said he, "but you sign this paper giving me half the first year's savings before you hear how." The president demurred; finally signed. The freight clerk told him to change the wording on his package and he could ship at a lower freight rate. The kid got his quarter million and promptly went to the devil in Rolls Royces and such. It's a good story, told in good faith. College professors tell it in different versions to illustrate how a young man may get ahead. But the trouble is, it isn't true. The true story goes this way: some thirty years ago a freight clerk of the Niagara-Hudson railroad, in his usual line of duty told the Shredded Wheat Biscuit Company to leave off the word "biscuit" and ship their product at the lower cereal rate. Shredded Wheat did so, was appreciative. But they turned over no cool, quarter million to the clerk. Instead, some time later the clerk took a job with Shredded Wheat and through long years of faithful service finally took charge of a Pacific hydrates and have an energy value that is 2.25 times that of carbohydrates. Fats are found in all feeds, vegetable products and animal tissues. The ash is the part of the grain, plant or food left after burning and destroying all organic matter. It is very necessary to egg production. The ash content of the ration is cheap and, until recently, little attention was paid to the ash content of the ration for laying hens. During the last few years the minerals in the ration have been receiving an increasing amount of attention. Water aids the softening of the food and the transportation of vegetable matter, and also regulates the body temperature. Fowls consume large quantities of water through feeds and drink. The importance of water may be illustrated by stating that a bird will die when it has lost 10% of body weight through thirst, but will not die from starvation until all fat is removed from the body and 50% of all protein. The vitamins are a necessary part of the ration aid in the assimilation of other nutrients and to maintain the health of the bird. They are, at the present time, designated by letters of the alphabet. Briefly stated, a deficiency of vitamin A leads to diseases of the eye and throat; a deficiency of vitamin B to nervous troubles, including a typical form of paralysis; a deficiency of vitamin D results in an inability to properly assimilate or utilize minerals; a deficiency of vitamin E to sterility. The requirements of the fowl for vitamin G are not definitely known at the present time but it has been shown to be essential. There are indications that vitamin C is not necessary in the poultry ration. Clip-Hiker To Circle World By clipping her way around the world, Gene Ross, a silhouette artist, hopes to win a $1000 bet from a movie director in Hollywood, California. When the girl, barely in her teens, passed through Salt Lake City, her plans were to stop off at Washington, D.C., to cut out a profile of President Roosevelt, then continue on to England. She uses her talent by clipping imitations of various buildings and profiles of prominent people. These she sells for her transportation money. Miss Ross said the bet was made with the understanding that she leave Hollywood without money and with only one change of clothes. "In India I hope to make a silhouette of Mahatma Gandi," she said smiling, "that is, if he hasn't starved himself so much by that time that there isn't enough of him left to clip into paper." The girl had silhouettes of Gov. Henry H. Blood of Utah, Gov.rolph of California, Albert Einstein and many motion picture stars. The true story goes this way: some thirty years ago a freight clerk of the Niagara-Hudson railroad, in his usual line of duty told the Shredded Wheat Biscuit Company to leave off the word "biscuit" and ship their product at the lower cereal rate. Shredded Wheat did so, was appreciative... But they turned over no cool, quarter million to the clerk. Instead, some time later the clerk took a job with Shredded Wheat and through long years of faithful service finally took charge of a Pacific Coast plant where he worked until his retirement. When prohibition is a thing of the past we'll still have our Federal Agents. They'll be busy, too! Alphonse Nuyens, French cordial maker, reports that "bootleggers" have approached him with soft words. They say rum-running will be much less expensive than the high taxes they expect. Evidently the bootleggers and rum-runners are not going to take repeal gracefully. Nuyens has declined their offers. You've heard the gag about the New Yorker landing in the west and immediately asking, "But where are the Indians?" The census figures show that there were 391 Indians in New York City in 1830. They don't specify whether they were wearing feathers or not. The "Little Church Around the Corner" acquired its nickname out of good-natured contempt, but has long since become synonymous with social sympathy and religious consideration in the minds of thousands. The legal title, rarely known, is "The Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration." The "Little Church" was 85 years old last month. At a short distance he looks the height of sartorial perfection—from the knees up. There he stands, wearing a shiny hat, a frock coat and dawdling stick in one hand, a cigar in the other. He's just a few feet from the private car entrance to the Metropolitan Opera House. There's a white flower in his lapel. But what's this? He's beckoning to passersby. And what's that little box at his feet? Look, he's saying something to that man. That's it. He said, "shoe shine, mister—" Miss Ross said the bet was made with the understanding that she leave Hollywood without money and with only one change of clothes. "In India I hope to make a silhouette of Mahatma Gandi," she said smiling, "that is, if he hasn't starved himself so much by that time that there isn't enough of him left to clip into paper." The girl had silhouettes of Gov. Henry H. Blood of Utah, Gov. Rolph of California, Albert Einstein and many motion picture stars.

The saving was based on the estimated cost of $356 per year for inmates of mental hospitals and $644 for inmates of correctional schools. The average institutional residence for mental patients is 10 years; for juvenile delinquents in state correctional schools, 18 months. Flashy Raiment Foretells Woes When brilliantly hued pajamas and other raiment began to arrive in great quantity by parcel post, Guy F. Davis, Red Bluff auto dealer, believed someone had started to do Christmas shopping early. A few days later, however, Davis learned a bad check artist was presenting forged checks for the purchases in San Francisco and receiving the difference in change. All of the goods were ordered shipped to Davis. The check passer was using Davis’ name in cashing the worthless paper.
