Dairymen Discuss Various Problems At Annual Meeting Enjoy Barbecued Beef, Other Delicious Eats Between the Two Programs Dairymen today recalled with pleasant memories the delicious barbecued beef and other fixings which went to make a pleasant intermission between the fornoon and afternoon program of the annual dairy day held on November 17 at Raitt's dairy, West Seventeenth street, Garden Grove. Those responsible for this part of the program were Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Wakeham, Garden Grove; H. L. Wakeham, Wm. Segerstrom, Raitt's Dairy and Excelsior Creamery company of Santa Ana. R. F. Hazard, chairman of the dairy department of the farm bureau, was in charge of the program. W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor, briefly outlined the federal credit agencies to which dairymen might apply, and reported on the progress of the dairy improvement program. During the year 20 meetings were held, with an attendance of 1085. Since feed represents from 60 to 65 percent of the total costs in operating a dairy, considerable stress has been placed upon this phase of the program. By field meetings and individual contact the principles involved in compiling an economical, balanced ration have been advanced. Feed cost surveys have shown that savings of from 10 to 15 cents per cow per day can be made by the purchase of feed on the basis of cost per pound of digestible nutrients. Selection of the herd sire on the basis of a progeny test is a more certain way of obtaining improvement of daughters over dams than selection on the basis of pedigree alone. 3,419 dairy eires have been proved by the Bureau of Dairy Industry of the United States department of agriculture, and 17,204 more have been partly proved. Any dairyman wishing to have his herd sire The California farmer, whose traditional task is to spend Thanksgiving Day cheer in California homes by providing the birds and the "fixings," can well afford, this year, to take time off for personal thanksgiving. Most of the farmer's blessings, to be sure, are still more promised than real—and no one would attempt to minimize the desperate fight to survive which is being waged on many California farms. But there is, nonetheless, definite hope and definite promise of better days ahead for agriculture as a whole. One good reason for thanksgiving, for example, is that the federal government was able—and willing—to step in when private avenues of financing were closed to the farmer, and assist, not only in capital financing, but in production loans and marketing loans. Except for that timely assistance, thousands of additional farmers would have been forced to the wall and denied any chance of saving their farms. Most vital of all, in a broad-gauged view of the agricultural situation, is the fact that President Roosevelt and the national administration are making a real attempt to restore farm prices and place agriculture on a parity with business and industry. Only a pre-war parity is sought, it is true, but even that, if it is accomplished, will be a vast improvement over the demoralized conditions which have obtained in recent years. The objective of the national administration, a tremendous cause for farm thanksgiving, is to lift the purchasing power of the farmer's dollar to an equality with the purchasing power of Slight reduction in automobile fatalities States gives evidence of highway traffic.

Any dairyman wishing to have his herd sire proved may do so by supplying the farm advisor's office with the necessary records. The average production of the herds in the cowtesting association increased from 478.8 pounds of butterfat in 1932 to 505.6 pounds in 1933, with an average of 1088 cows in the association. Dairymen winning the certificates awarded by the National Dairy Science association are: Aliso Dairy, Santa Ana; Peter DeBoer, Buena Park; Otto Folkerts, Talbert; R. F. Hazard, Midway City; S. W. Hunt, Bolsa; A. C. Murdy, Smeltzer; Delos Patterson, Garden Grove; Raitt's Dairy, Garden Grove; Segerstrom Bros., Greenville; E. A. Wakeham, Garden Grove; H. L. Wakeham, Santa Ana; and A. F. Walker, Midway City. In disease control a marked decrease in tuberculosis reactors is shown from a summary of the state tests on dairies in the county. From a high of 7.5 per cent reactors in 1928, there has been a decrease to 2.3 per cent reactors in 1922. Records for 1933 are not yet completed but a further decrease is anticipated. Marketing has engaged a major portion of the attention of the department this year. Working with local groups in the development of a constructive program, any serious price cuts were averted locally. This has not been so true in other districts where a less willingness to work for the best interest of the industry was evidenced. The date of the Dairy Day was propitious in that it was on that date that public announcement was made of the signing of the milk marketing agreement by the Secretary of Agriculture for the Los Angeles milk market area. W. H. Kurt, chairman of the Milk Arbitration Board was on hand to explain the details of the agreement, even though extra heavy demands were being made in his time owing to the signing of the agreement. Just before adjournment for lunch, R. F. Huzard announced the winners in the 1933 cow competition classes as follows: Lbs. Lbs. Milk Butterfat High Herd Average Under 36 cows: 1.

Only a pre-war parity is sought, it is true, but even that, if it is accomplished, will be a vast improvement over the demoralized conditions which have obtained in recent years. The objective of the national administration, a tremendous cause for farm thanksgiving, is to lift the purchasing power of the farmer's dollar to an equality with the purchasing power of the industrial dollar. Due to generally disturbed economic conditions, plus overproduction, the farmer's purchasing power has been continuously below, often one half of normal since 1921. From 1924 to 1929, California and American cities generally seemed to prosper without a prosperous agriculture — and, frankly, without any special concern as to the condition of agriculture. It was an unnatural situation and one headed for an inevitable reckoning. During this period virtually all of the farmer's resources were exhausted in "carrying on," with the result that agriculture entered the depression under a terrific handicap as compared with business and industry. But today, there is a general realization—a little belated but exceedingly heartening—that recovery in the cities, on any sound basis, must be accompanied by recovery on the farm. That, in itself is something real and something vital to be thankful for. As a result of this new appreciation of the importance of agriculture in the economic set-up, and as a result also of the federal government's sincere desire to help the entire country back to solid ground, definite steps are being taken to restore farm buying power. Three major steps in this program are: 1. Cutting down production of staple commodities through average reductions, chiefly in wheat, cotton and corn. 2. Reduction of interest and "incidental charges" in farm loans—items which formerly "broke the back" of thousands of farmers. 3. The drive of the NRA to restore all industries, thereby making a market for farm products. Intangible as these benefits may seem to the individual farmer struggling for survival, they will nonetheless bring tangible results to millions of farmers. And California farmer, hard-hit though he may be, has this added thing to be thankful for—that his ability to diversify his crops has made his plight less serious than that of farmers in the nation generally. California farmers, during the last three years, have shown a greater ability to adjust themselves to new conditions than the farmers of any other area in the nation—and thereby a better ability to hold on and survive the storm. All in all, California agriculture has well might well be given to highways of greater motorists and safer rather than expending build new roads.

Gordon, extension dairy specialist, University of California, then outlined the procedure in proving a herd sire. Even though the herd sire may be dead it is well to compare dam and daughter records so that if the average of the daughters' production is above that of their dams, a son of stoch a sire from a good dam would be worthy of trial. Prof. W. M. Regan, Division of Dairy Huabandry, University Farm, Davis, spoke on the results of 15 years' dairy cattle breeding experiments. Breeders adopt one of three systems or a combination in carrying on a breeding program. These are inbreeding, line-breeding and out-crossing. In the experiment carried on at the University Farm all three systems are used and careful comparative records kept. Results to date would indicate that with selection much closer inbreeding can be done than is generally thought advisable by livestock breeders.

Member Slight Decrease Of Fatalities In Auto Use Is Seen Fewer Number of Cars Offsets What Otherwise Would Be Good Showing Slight reduction in the number of automobile fatalities in the United States gives evidence that some progress is being made in the regulation of highway traffic. When the reduced number of motor vehicles in operation during the last year is taken into consideration, however, there is little improvement in the record of deaths caused by motor vehicles and the heavy losses through personal injury and property damage. With a return to more normal times it is inevitable that the use of automobiles will again increase. Extension of the number of trucks and other large motor cars on the highways does not brighten the prospect for greatly improved traffic conditions in the immediate future. It would seem that the time must come when there will be greater segregation of various kinds of traffic, with separate highways for long-distance and local vehicles and with the entire elimination of grade crossings. With spending of many millions upon road work, there are numerous sections of the country where consideration might well be given to making existing highways of greater practical use to motorists and safer for pedestrians, rather than expending all the funds to build new roads. Highway crossovers and underpassages on roads and streets where travel is heavy are often more useful in speeding up traffic than additional and less convenient arteries. The ideal condition is one which would entirely separate foot and vehicle traffic. The use of the same thoroughfares by both pedestrians and fast-moving vehicles will always be attended by The Inside Story Albert H. Wiggin, ex-chairman of the Chase National Bank, disclosed to the U.S. Senate Committee, that his net income for five years, 1928 to '32 was $8,680,406.98. At retirement he was pensioned at $100,000 per year. It also developed that his wife and daughters have huge incomes.

The use of the same thoroughfares by both pedestrians and fast-moving vehicles will always be attended by accidents and loss of life. When a busy American city street with its conglomerate intermingling of persons on foot and crowded motor cars is contemplated, the wonder is not that nearly 30,000 persons are killed every year by automobiles, but the fatalities are not even more numerous. Samuel Loose Is Health Group Aide Anaheim's Samuel E. Loose, physical education director of the elementary school system, Monday night was elected vice president and corresponding secretary of the Orange county unit of the California Association of Health, Physical Education and Recreation directors. Election was held at a meeting held in Santa Ana, when Fullerton's Arthur L. Johnson was named president, Fullerton's Ruth L. Scott chosen secretary, and Tustin's Ralph W. Cole selected treasurer. Among those attending from Anaheim, besides the new officer, were: Richard Glover, Richard Ryan and the Misses Adah Wilcox, Linda V. Higgins and Mary Jane Van Booven. Huge Sum paid For Forestry Supplies More than half a million dollars' worth of food, supplies and camp equipment will be bought this fall through the central purchasing office of the U.S. forest service. It was learned. Next spring the forest service must supply more than 2,700,000 meals to workers in the national forests of Montana and northern Idaho. Purchases for this tremendous feeding task will include 200,000 pounds of sugar; 80,000 pounds of shortening; 600,000 cans of pork and beans; 60,000 pounds of dry beans; 264,000 cans of pears and 228,000 cans of variegated fruit. The kitchen detail of the forest camps will be supplied 140,000 bars of soap and 12,000 cans of cleanser. Blds have been called for the purchases, with the requirement that all bidders fly the Blue Eagle. Perishable foodstuffs and supplies will be purchased next spring. Survey To Determine Accuracy of Formulas and Gallonage Sprayed Outfits used commercially in spraying fruit and citrus trees throughout California are being carefully checked by inspectors of the division of weights and measures, state department of agriculture, and the sealers and deputy sealers of the various counties, J. S. Casey, chief of the division, announced at Sacramento. Casey said that the inspection work, calculated to determine the actual delivered capacity of the commercial spray rigs, of which there are many thousands in California, is important for two reasons. "First," he said, "the formulas to be used for spraying the trees must be based on exact figures to be of value; otherwise they might be too weak to do the work or, if too strong, the trees would be injured and burned." "Second, the owner of the orchard is charged according to the amount of the gallonage and should not be required to pay for something he does not receive. "In one instance, a shortage was found of 30 gallons to the tank which would mean an over-charge amounting to many hundreds of dollars for the season if the shortage had not been discovered and had continued. "All commercial spray operators are now required by law to base their charges on correct amounts as established by this department. Owners of spray rigs are, therefore, notified to have their spray rigs calibrated by the county sealer of weights and measures, or by representatives of this department. In calibrating, the inspector will determine the delivered capacity in gallonage, the residue in the gallonage and the total capacity. "On each commercial rig there must be painted the delivered capacity and rig number." Chief Quits When Crime Fails Halt Former Police Chief J. L. Wells of Madera, believes in keeping his promises. Unsuccessful, in his opinion, in completing a program of law enforcement, Wells resigned "to give someone else a chance." Montana and northern Idaho. Purchases for this tremendous feeding task will include 200,000 pounds of sugar; 80,000 pounds of shortening; 600,000 cans of pork and beans; 60,000 pounds of dry beans; 264,000 cans of pears and 228,000 cans of varied fruit. The kitchen detail of the forest camps will be supplied 140,000 bars of soap and 12,000 cans of cleanser. Bids have been called for the purchases, with the requirement that all hidders fly the Blue Eagle. Perishable foodstuffs and supplies will be purchased next spring. Why Liquid Laxatives Do You No Harm The dose of a liquid laxative can be measured. The action can be controlled. It forms no habit; you need not take a "double dose" a day or two later. Nor will a mild liquid laxative irritate the kidneys. The right liquid laxative will bring a perfect movement, and with no discomfort at the time, or afterward. The wrong cathartic may keep you constipated as long as you keep on using it! An approved liquid laxative (one which is most widely used for both adults and children) is syrup pepsin. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a prescription, and is perfectly safe. Its laxative action is based on senna—a natural laxative. The bowels will not become dependent on this form of help, as they do in the case of cathartics containing mineral drugs. Ask your druggist for Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Member N. R. A.

Lemon Telephone 2101 Get $3 Value For $1 At Orange County’s Harbor Any sensible person would pay $1 in return for $3—would invest $1 upon any reasonable chance that it would develop a $3 value, even over a period of years. And when the intelligent citizens of a community such as Orange county have the opportunity to spend $1 and get the full benefits and value of $3 AT ONCE, without having to wait several years, they cannot but welcome the proposal with hearty approval and enthusiastic support. Such a project is the Orange County Harbor program, upon which Orange county voters will ballot December 19. It offers a $3 value for $1 in bonds, and we cannot afford NOT to accept it. The United States government will pay ... $1,195,441 Orange county will pay one-third, or ... 640,000 For only $640,000, Orange county will get ... $1,835,441 Unless the Federal Government carries out its plan, as already approved by Army Engineers, for this $1,195,441 NOT to accept it.

We take no chances of loss, or of an incomplete program. The whole job will be done. We cannot lose. We must DO IT NOW; we cannot delay. Unless we cooperate with the Government NOW, while it is spending $3,300,000,000 for vast public works, the money will be gone; we will have none of the benefits, but we'll have to pay our proportion of the cost just the same. We pay the same Federal taxes whether the money is spent here at home or whether it goes to develop San Diego and San Francisco harbors. We need to keep some of our Federal tax money at home, instead of letting all of it go to distant parts of the country, while we continue to pay just the same. And above all, we need the hundreds of jobs which will result from this harbor program, for years to come, to make our citizens self-supporting and remove them from the welfare relief work which is a present burden upon the taxpayers. It is a $3-for-$1 opportunity and everyone in Orange county will benefit, including taxpayers, business men, and workers of all kinds, at a negligible tax cost of but 2.6 cents per $100 assessed valuation per year.
