Must Put Grade Marks On Product Chief of Fruit and Vegetable Bureau Warns Grape and Lettuce Growers of Ruling California growers and shippers of lettuce and grapes were reminded again by S. S. Rogers, chief of the bureau of fruit and vegetable standardization, state department of agriculture, that they must comply with the requirements of Ohio department of agriculture concerning the grade mark on containers. Writing to Rogers, at Sacramento, E. A. Flemming, chief of the division of markets, Ohio department of agriculture, called his attention to the fact that California head lettuce and grapes are being shipped into Ohio in large quantities with practically no grade markings whatever. "It has been our desire to cooperate to the fullest extent with shippers outside this state who desire to utilize our markets. It is not our wish to cause them any unnecessary hardship. Nevertheless, we must insist that they comply with our laws." "If California shippers continue to ship these products into Ohio without either marking them in accordance with federal grades or 'growers grade' it will be necessary for us to reject the shipments. However, we would much prefer to secure compliance with this law in an educational manner rather than by force." "Having had considerable experience with the attitude of California authorities toward the grading, marking and branding of agricultural products, I feel sure that this request will receive your careful attention and your sympathetic support." Commenting upon this letter, Rogers said that in California the federal grades would probably best meet the legal requirements in Ohio. He added that if California shippers do not at once comply with the requirements of the Ohio law, shipments will be subject to rejection upon arrival.

Director of Agriculture A. A. Brock announces, but application blanks, which may be obtained from the various agricultural commissioners, must be filed with the state director of agriculture not later than December 15 of this year. Written and oral examinations to be held in localities designated by the director, will embrace six lines of inspection work: plant quarantine and nursery stock inspection; field and orchard inspection and plant pest control; fruit, nut and vegetable standardization; rodent and weed control; apiary inspection; seed inspection. A certificate of eligibility will be issued by the director of agriculture to each successful candidate covering one or more of the six subjects in which examinations will be held. Applicants must be American citizens and actual residents of California. They must have had some actual horticultural or agricultural experience either in practical phases of the work or in agricultural inspection work, or equivalent; must be of good moral character, of temperate habits and in all respects physically able to perform the duties of the position. Eligible list will be made up by counties. Candidates must specify the county or counties for which they wish to qualify and will be rated only for appointment in those counties in which they are examined and found qualified. In order to pass the examination, candidates must receive at least 70 per cent in the written examination and in By Land Bank To 4 Western States November's Leins Total More Than Entire Year's Output For 1932 The Berkeley Federal Land Bank made loans on farm properties in California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona during the month of November to the amount of $4,918,400. President Willard D. Ellis announces. This sum is twice greater than the total loans made by the bank in the whole year of 1932, he added. Of the total loans made in the four states of the Farm Credit Administration's eleventh district $3,280,200 was granted on first mortgages securing farm property loans and $1,638,200 came under the classification of "commissioner's loans" on first and second mortgages on agricultural properties, the latter being drawn out of a special fund of $200,000,000 established by the last Congress. Distribution of the gross amount of loans by states was as follows: California, $4,275,300; Utah, $402,000; Arizona, $202,900; Nevada, $38,200. November's distribution of loans through the Land Bank was made upon 1440 applications. A report from William I. Myers, governor of the Farm Credit Administration in Washington, just received by the Land Bank here indicates that since July, when enlarged appraisal forces in all of the twelve districts began to make their work felt, the total of loans closed everywhere has doubled each month until the record as of Nov. 24 was more than $100,000,000 farm mortgage loans closed in the twelve districts since the organization of the Farm Credit Administration May 27. "We feel that last month's showing is indicative of the effort being made to meet the pressing demands in this district," President Ellis commented. "Since May the facilities of the eleventh district in terms of personnel have been expanded over 300 per cent. We had ten appraisers in May; now we have 424 in the field, 44 training and 11 recommended for appointment. We hope that by the first of the year we may be considering applications practically on a current basis." Candle Missile In Science Class The lowly candle took its place among shrapnel and bullets as a deadly missile in a Flica high school science class. Real; Quakes Are One of “Enemies” Difficulties of Being a Phone Cable are Related During Campaign to Better Service It's tough to be a telephone cable! Although carrying hundreds of telephone conversations hourly, some cables find life just one puncture after another. These voice carriers have varied misfortunes: Some are bitten by insects, others are struck by bullets, pierced by arrows, speared by fishermen, strangled, electrocuted, pinched, cut or burned. Some cables contain as many as 3,600 separate wires, each strand covered with colored wax paper. When a pair tests "dead," the trouble shooter immediately selects another pair for service. But this isn't all—he starts a trouble diagnosis which doesn't end until the "bug hunter" gets his "bug." The tests practically always disclose a puncture or crack in the lead alloy cable covering. Water Is Emeny Water is a conductor of electricity and if it gets into the cable and dampens the paper insulation, a short circuit or inferior voice transmission will result. Old Man Rainwater is finding it increasingly difficult to interrupt telephone service. His persistent opponents are the telephone maintenance men. Anticipating wet weather and choosing foggy mornings for their work, central office technicians with scientific instruments are locating holes "that are letting the fog in." A cable scout then goes out to investigate, often riding a suspended cable car in the vicinity of housetops. Bugs Eat Cable Many a tiny hole found by the tests is the work of an insect borer, who feasts upon the metal alloy, leaving a small symmetrical opening in the wake of his appetite. The only effective defense against him developed thus far by telephone scientists is a greasy substance, which would have to be smeared over the cables for miles — an impractical remedy. Then there are the jolly hunters! Many repair jobs result from bullets fired into telephone cables, either by mistake or purposely. The Fourth of July, New Year's Eve, and certain other joyful occasions add to the bullet problem. Celebrations Costly "If folks who arise in the wee small hours to shoot would wait until they are wide awake, their aim might be better, and telephone service would suffer less," one repairman remarked. Candle Missile In Science Class The lowly candle took its place among shrapnel and bullets as a deadly missile in a Fiera high school science class. Shot was removed from shotgun shells and a three-inch piece of candle substituted. The candle was shot through inch-thick boards 15 feet away. A small piece of candle also was fitted into a .223 shell and was shot through a tin can. Experts Speak At State Convention Brice Mace, Jr., of San Francisco, district manager in charge of enforcement of the agricultural adjustment administration in the western states, and E. L. Markell, of Sacramento, field representative of the same agency, are among the speakers to be heard at the sixty-sixth annual state convention of Farmers and Fruit Growers to be held at Modesto, December 13 and 14, under the auspices of the state department of agriculture. Rum Glasses Go To Refresh Baby Quail Questions about a claim for two dozen whiskey glasses raised by State Controller Ray L. Riley's office found a ready answer from state fish and game commission officers. John L. Farley, division officer of the commission, explained the glasses were not for a party but for baby quail. They were used to construct small water fountains on the game refuge near Ontario. Controller Riley ordered the bill paid. Then there are the jolly hunters! Many repair jobs result from bullets fired into telephone cables, either by mistake or purposely. The Fourth of July, New Year's Eve, and certain other joyful occasions add to the bullet problem. Celebrations Costly "If folks who arise in the wee small hours to shoot would wait until they are wide awake, their aim might be better, and telephone service would suffer less," one repairman remarked. Numerous bullet holes in downtown cables in Los Angeles and other Southern California cities are puzzling. "Do we have that many gun battles in the heart of the city — or are they just after-effects of the Fourth of July?" the telephone men ask. Only recently a volley of arrows flew forth from some modern Robin Hoods during the filming of a movie. When the casualties were counted, one arrow had killed telephone service in the vicinity completely. Fish Escape Then there are two fishermen who became famous at Newport Beach not long ago. They were on a bridge spearing fish. On one of their attempts, the lucky fish escaped unharmed, but the poor submarine telephone cable was struck midships. Telephone men, boats, splicers, and supplies wrote the last chapter of this fishing story. Ditch digging machines and pick axes occasionally get off their course and collide with underground cables. Other sources of trouble include friction from supports which hold the cables in the air, cracks caused by the recent earthquake, when the cables were caught between swaying buildings and poles, chemical decay caused by stray electrical currents, and the burns resulting when power or light wires drop on the telephone lines. Telephone maintenance is more than a story. It is a job—which keeps 1,250 men and women constantly at work in the Southern California Telephone company. They keep the records, test the lines, receive reports of trouble and clear them. Eliminating some of the hazards in the life of telephone cables is just one of their many duties. Windbreaks Prove A Good Investment Windbreaks are a profitable investment for the California orchardist, despite the land removed from production to provide them, according to citrus experts. Winds begin to do damage at about 15 miles an hour velocity, and the damage is progressively greater as the force of the wind increases. On a ten-acre orchard, a windbreak of a double row of trees would occupy about three-fourths of an acre, about 8 per cent of the tract. An example is given of an orange grove in Orange county where trees properly protected with windbreaks returned $6.33 per tree, while those not fully protected gave a per tree profit of but $3.39. Trees in the windbreak should cost approximately 3 cents each, or about $10 to protect a ten-acre plot. They probably will need some pruning at about two years, and root pruning at six or seven years, after which a deep subscriber should be run on each side of the windbreak on alternate years. Unkeep should be about the same as that of orchard trees. It Was Good As Gold, Is Verdict Resumption of gold prospecting in many abandoned shafts near Downieville has uncovered numerous articles almost as rare as the precious metal itself. One of the recent finds was a pewter flask taken from a caved-in section of the old Ruby mine. The container was filled with elderberry wine. The wine was of honey consistency and still retained its fine flavor, according to miners who made the discovery. It Pays, But Not Enough to Count California Leads In Pear Growing California is the leading pear producing state of the union, a chart prepared by the bureau of the census and analyzed by the state department of agriculture shows. Twenty-two of the first fifty counties producing pears are in California, the report shows, as follows: Sacramento, Placer, Santa Clara, El Dorado, Lake Mendocino, Solana, Contra Costa, Sonoma, Los Angeles, Napa, Nevada, Yolo, Monterey, San Benito, Yuba, San Luis Obispo, San Joaquin, Alameda, Santa Cruz, San Bernardino, Sutter. Although Yakima county, Washington, ranked first, three California counties ranked next in order: Sacramento, Placer, and Santa Clara. In the first ten El Dorado, Lake and Mendocino counties were included.
