Thus, the actual taxes you are paying for our schools would not be increased by voting for the measure. Only the manner in which the funds would be distributed would be affected. We feel that in view of our consistent record for economy in administration of our public schools—a record which we are glad to have compared with any other school system of comparable size and quality of instruction—that the people of this city will see the justice of, and approve our request.” Supervisor Lyon Outlines County Problems to Club Rotarians last Monday noon ate hearty lunches at the Elks clubhouse and then settled back to hear Supervisor LeRoy Lyon outlined problems of the county. Chief difficulty now, as for the last quarter of a century, is securing adequate water supplies, he declared. He expressed the hope that flood waters may soon be sunk in gravel pits along the river through ditches to be dug with SERA help. He holds that there are only two available sources of water at the present time to add to the present supply, first being surplus flood waters and the second being reclamation. Will Demonstrate Mottle Leaf Spray Here Next Monday The effect of zinc sulphate spray for the control of mottle leaf disease on California Gains During Year 1934 Chamber Report Business Indices Reflecting Better Conditions As December Improves For the year 1934 California business indices reflect conditions substantially better than during 1933, and there was also moderate gains in business activity during December, as compared to the preceding month, according to the statewide survey of economic conditions issued yesterday by the research department of the California State Chamber of Commerce. During 1934, the average monthly employment in the state's manufacturing industries was about 15½ per cent greater than the preceding year, the average monthly payroll was per cent higher. December had employment gains of about 2 per cent after allowance for the expected seasonal decline. Retail trade advanced 10 per cent during 1934, as compared with 1933. Excluding the metropolitan center, the smaller communities, particularly in the farming regions, showed gains rqtail trade averaging from 12 to per cent. Bank debits for 14 California cities last year were 11 per cent high than in 1933. The increase for Angeles, San Francisco and Oakland was 8 per cent; while the remaining eleven cities showed an increase of per cent. Cost of living for workingmen's families, according to the weighted average index, advanced between 4½ and 5 per cent last year, as compared with 1933. Food costs, however, have varied about 20 per cent over the past decade. Will Demonstrate Mottle Leaf Spray Here Next Monday The effect of zinc sulphate spray for the control of mottle leaf disease on citrus trees will be shown at a field demonstration next Monday, February 18, at 2:00 P.M., near Anaheim, according to notice released by the farm advisor's office. The treated trees are located at the Pannier estate on East street, corner of Ball road. Zinc sulphate sprays were applied a year ago on the trees to be shown at the demonstration. Check rows of trees were left untreated in order to provide a comparison between the sprayed and unsprayed blocks. The three years of experimental work in the use of zinc sulphate in connection with little leaf mottle leaf has been very encouraging. Says Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg, and the results obtained in Orange county to date have been so satisfactory that the treatment is being recommended by his office. There are several kinds of mottle leaf, he states, and not all will respond to the zinc treatment. The demonstration will help growers to recognize the little leaf mottle condition, which is susceptible to full recovery by means of the spray. Various phases of the control problem will be explained at the demonstration, as well as materials used. All growers are invited to attend. per cent in respect of debts refinanced by the land banks and 6.6 per cent on indebtedness refinanced with loans by the land bank commissioner. These farmers are now paying interest at the rate of 4½ or 5 per cent on long-term amortized loans extending for periods of from 13 to 30-odd years with no renewal charges. The expense of renewing mortgages every few years had been costing farmers on an average of 1 per cent." In California, the state and county farm debt adjustment committees have rendered splendid and unselfish service in scaling down debts and paving the way for farm credit administration loans to hard pressed farmers. Their work has been an essential and invaluable part of the program of farm debt adjustment, which, without doubt, is ited equally with the farmer under the debt readjustment program — the creditors by averting huge losses, due to the inability of farmers to carry an abnormally high indebtedness, contracted prior to the depression, and the farmers by a new chance to fight their way back to solvency and security. Such are the highlights of a report just made public by W. I. Myers, governor of the farm credit administration, tracing the efforts of the government to effect a permanent solution of the country's agricultural credit problems. "The reductions in overhead indebtedness will remain for the permanent benefit and well-being of farm business and rural life," Governor Myers commented. American farmers, due to the operation of the farm credit program, are also saving more than $31,000,000 annually in interest charges, Governor Myers emphasized, in addition to huge savings resulting from the elimination of mortgage renewal costs. On more than 500,000 mortgage loans made by the farm credit administration, primarily for the purpose of re-financing depression debts, farmers are paying 1½ per cent less interest than previously. And they are making an added saving of approximately 1 per cent through reductions and eliminations of renewal charges. "The farm credit administration was created not only for the purpose of saving farms from foreclosure," reported Governor Myers, "but also to reduce the interest charges and to cut the overhead indebtedness of the farmers refinanced, and of the agricultural industry in general." "The re-financing of farm debts has held the fort against the sweeping tide of foreclosures and at the same time made reductions in interest charges and in overhead indebtedness that will achieve permanent benefits." "Hundreds of thousands of farms re-financed by the farm credit administration had been paying interest charges on their debts averaging 6.2 renewal charges. The expense of renewing mortgages every few years had been costing farmers on an average of 1 per cent." In California, the state and county farm debt adjustment committees have rendered splendid and unselfish service in scaling down debts and paving the way for farm credit administration loans to hard pressed farmers. Their work has been an essential and invaluable part of the program of farm debt adjustment, which, without doubt, is one of the most important steps in the program of rehabilitation for the farming industry. Certainly there could be no greater step toward speedy and sound farm recovery than a rational adjustment of farm debts. The farmer's debts—contracted in pre-depression days and predicated on fictitious farm values—have been an almost insurmountable barrier to any sound program of re-adjustment and reconstruction. The program of the farm credit administration offers real hope of a reduction in farm overhead somewhat commensurate with the reduction in farm income. And such a reduction is absolutely essential to farm recovery. W-A-N-T A-D-S RATE: Five cents the line (count five words to the line) for each insertion. Phone 2414 for want ads that bring results.
