Pedestrians Have Rigth-of-Way Solely in Marked Cross-Walks (The Gazette today presents an instructive article based on recent court decision concerning motor vehicle operation in California, as prepared by Ivan Kelso, Automobile Club of Southern California general counsel). Section 562 of the vehicle code requires pedestrians who attempt to cross a roadway at a point other than within a crosswalk to yield the right of way to all vehicles upon the roadway. That observance of this requirement is important is evident from a recent opinion of the appellate court of the fourth appellate district. The plaintiff in the action had heard the cry for help of a neighbor who had become caught in his tractor on his place across the highway from plaintiff's home. Plaintiff's husband rushed across the highway and plaintiff followed shortly. She stopped first at some point between her front gate and the pavement and noted the approach of two automobiles coming from her right. She waited for the first to pass and then, thinking she had time to pass, started across the paved highway. When two-thirds of the way over she was struck by the second of the two machines referred to, which was a laundry truck. The court said: "Had the plaintiff exercised the slightest degree of care as she left the place of safety, she would necessarily have seen the car which was then so close that the most of it passed in front of her before she could have taken more than one or two steps past the center of the highway. If, as she says, she was walking and not running her negligence would seem all the greater as she would then have had more opportunity to see it just before it reached her and while it was actually in front of her. She not only failed to yield the right of way and stepped from a position of safety into one of danger, but actually ran into the car after approximately two-thirds of it had passed her. "Assuming that the defendant did not slow down and that he was guilty of negligence the conclusion is inescapable that the appellant also failed to use reasonable care and, ni our opinion, no reasonable person could conclude, under the circumstances here appearing, that her negligence was not a proximate cause of her injuries." Thus the plaintiff was denied damages for her injuries. The FARMERS CORNER by RALPH HAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural The FARMERS CORNER by RALPH H. TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the concluding article in a series by Ralph H. Taylor, executive secretary of the Agricultural Council of California, forecasting the agricultural outlook for California during the New Year. Broadened markets, due to a lessening of financial stringency in the cities and the mounting whir of new business and industry, give promise that the march toward farm recovery will continue in California during 1937—steadily and surely, but perhaps not as rapidly as the more superlative new year's forecasts may indicate. Although any farm prophesy is necessarily subject to all the whims of nature and fluctuating markets, plus the hazards of industrial wars at home and wars between nations abroad, the new year looks definitely better than the old for most commodities. In all probability, however, the price of commodities and services used in agricultural production will average a little higher during 1937, according to predictions of the United States bureau of agricultural economics, and the farmer must expect higher operating costs to serve as a partial offset to higher income. Wage scales, for example, are expected to rise with a continuance of the upward trend in demand for workers in non-agricultural activities. Likewise, prices paid by farmers for seed already have advanced sharply. Feed prices may be expected to soar somewhat, with farm machinery, fertilizer and building supplies also slated for price increases. The farm outlook for major crops and commodities, as gauged by state and federal experts, If the 1937 crop increase, however, should substantially exceed the prospective reduction in carry-over, it would tend to reduce prices unless demand on the home market increased sharply. Fruits—Prospects of rising volume of production and increasing sales. Possible slight decline in total apple and peach production will be offset by larger production of citrus fruits, grapes and cherries. The citrus industry may expect declining prices as the crop increases. Apple and peach growers may expect some improvement in price. Consumer demand for all fruits is such that large crops tend to bring about the same gross income as small crops. Truck crops—Larger production expected than the record high volume of 1936. It is expected that further improvement in consumer buying power will about offset the effects of increased supplies and maintain prices at about 1936 level. Cattle—General upward trend in cattle production predicted for next few years. Because of reduced hog supplies in prospect for next two years, the cattle industry will be in a rather favorable position. Further improvement in demand for beef and veal, which has been increasing since 1933, is expected. A good demand for replacement stocks of all kinds is in prospect next spring if crop and pasture conditions are fairly normal forecasting high prices for cows and heifers. Poultry—Smaller marketings of poultry and turkeys predicted for 1937, following heavy production and sales this year. Egg marketings are expected to increase, however. Wool — Stocks of wool both in this country and in foreign coun- expected to rise with a continuance of the upward trend in demand for workers in non-agricultural activities. Likewise, prices paid by farmers for seed already have advanced sharply. Feed prices may be expected to soar somewhat, with farm machinery, fertilizer and building supplies also slated for price increases. The farm outlook for major crops and commodities, as gauged by state and federal experts, shapes up as follows: Dairy products—increased consumer demand and some rise in prices; the prospect for the next several years is for further increases in the consumption of fluid milk, cream and ice cream; there should be a rise in butter prices in relation to prices of other commodities. Cotton—Indications of a larger cotton crop in 1937. With prospects of a further reduction in world carry-over of American cotton, the 1937 United States crop could be increased somewhat without damage to price structure.

Drunken Driven in Russia Pay Penalty Drunken driving in Russia is discouraged with a vengeance, it is pointed out in a recent National Safety Council bulletin. A Moscowite imbibed of too much vodka and drove his truck through a safety zone in front of the American embassy, killing two pedestrians and injuring eight others. A few days later the government announced he had been executed. While American punishment is not so drastic, greater pressure is being brought to bear upon those dangerous individuals who insist on getting behind the wheel of a motor car after drinking. Repairs are Rushed On Coast Highway Work has been speeded upon the coast route south of Carpinteria, where a sharp turn and bridge on the curve are to be eliminated and the road straightened along new alignment north of the present highway. A report to the engineering department of the Automobile Club of Southern California states that the project is expected to be completed and the road opened to traffic the early part of next year.

Strike Causes Drop In State Business General business activity in California during November wilted a decline, attributed to the change of the name of the Santa Barbara national forest to "Los Padres" became official when ANAHEIM 344 West; Center Strike Causes Drop in State Business General business activity in California during November witnessed a decline, attributed to the effects of the maritime strike on one of the major lines of busi-ness, according to the monthly economic report made by the reach department of the Califor- state chamber of commerce to board of directors of the or-ization. Industrial activity, the report laws, suffered a substantial dee throughout the state, and sign trade exhibited a marked decrease from October to Novem- Present uncertainties are causing delays in other fields of leavor. However, for the first ten months of this year busi-activity has shown a marked movement over the corres-ding period of last year. Name of National Forest is Changed Change of the name of the Santa Barbara national forest to "Los Padres" became official when President Roosevelt signed the executive order recently. This will settle an argument among the six counties concerned (Los Angeles, Kern, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Monterey), carried on since President Theodore Roosevelt in 1903 renamed the Santa Yenz and Pine Mountain and Zaca Lake forest reserves the Santa Barbara national forest. Agreement was finally reached among various chambers of commerce and county boards of supervisors to a name commemorating the work of the Mission Fathers, many of whose churches are found in Los Padres national forest.
