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, dealing with proposed legislation of the 1937 State Legislature. The fact that California's dairy industry is suffering from an overuse of regulation and inspection with conflicting authorities constantly bickering over such weigh problems as whether the milk house door should swing in or not—probably explains the flood dairy bills at the current session of the legislature. Many of the 50 odd dairy proposals seek to eliminate conflicts authority as between the vari county and city inspection agencies and are designed to save the dairy farmer from being forced comply with impractical and conflicting regulatory provisions. A. B. 1747, by Assemblymanonnelly, for example, authorizes the director of agriculture to make rules and regulations concerning construction, operation and mitigation of dairies and provides at no market milk produced by dairies which conform to such regulations shall be excluded from the market or "degraded" as injurious. In a second bill, Assemblymanonnelly provides for revoking the authority of local ordinances local inspection services to get standards other than state 2033, by Assemblyman Patterson, providing that "Any dairy product produced and handled in a sanitary manner from healthy animals shall not be excluded from any market by reason of any local ordinance, rule or regulation"; A. B. 2225 by Assemblyman Garibaldi, providing that no officer other than an employee of the State Department of Agriculture shall enforce any of the provisions of the agricultural code, or any local ordinance, regarding the inspection of dairy products; A. B. 50, by Assemblyman Heisinger, limiting all standards to those prescribed by the state, etc. Provoking such legislation is the fact that many dairymen have had as many as eight inspectors, from eight separate agencies, on their property at one time, all demanding compliance with their respective regulations, many in variance as to their requirements, and all taking the cream of the farmer's profits by pyramiding fees and costs. Nor is the dairy industry the only division of agriculture so afflicted; one of the major irritations in virtually every branch of the farming industry—and one of the principal reasons for high farm overhead—is regulation run rampant. Other dairy bills of importance this session, some of which will involve much argument, include the following. A. B. 1826, by Assemblyman O'Donnell, appropriating $2,500, Activity During February Listed Reports Given by Branches of Civic Government at Meeting Tuesday Reports of the various departments of the city government were made at the regular meeting of the city council last Tuesday evening. City Treasurer Charles Boeger reported a total of $205,172.13 on hand in the treasury. Warrants and demands for the month of February were $19,966.76. Revenue from the public service department amounted to $22,-008.15, of which $13,591.57 was from light, $4,121.33 from power and $4,244.55 from water. Taxes collected during the month totaled $566.27, Miss Etta Williams reported. Collections from November 1 to February 28 amounted to $51,411.38. City Judge Frank Tausch reported 15 cases of violation of motor vehicle laws and 31 violations of city ordinances had been handled in his court with fines totaling $522. New business licenses issued in February brought revenue of $165. Sixty dollars were collected in delinquent licenses and $6 in penalties. The welfare department spent $83.33 during the past month, Mrs. Mona Price reported. Home and office calls totaled 182 and aid was rendered to 27 families. Forty-one arrests were made by the police department in addition to other duties performed by officers. Only one fire call was answered by the fire department during the month, but the inhalator squad In a second bill, Assemblyman Donnellly provides for revoking the authority of local ordinances local inspection services to get standards other than state standards for the approval of market milk for sale anywhere in California. Somewhat similar bills have been submitted by Assemblyman Corp., one of his proposals placing the entire responsibility for milk inspection and milk standards in the hands of the state; is bill repeals all authority for maintenance of inspection departments and the setting of standards by cities and counties, providing for the creation of a State Market Milk Inspection service to enforce uniform standards throughout the state.

Other dairy bills of importance this session, some of which will involve much argument, include the following. A. B. 1826, by Assemblyman O'Donnell, appropriating $2,500,-000 for the eradication of bovine tuberculosis, but providing the appropriation shall be expended only if matched by a like amount from the federal government for eradication work in California. S. B. 1078, by Senator Garrison, requiring every person purchasing dairy products from producers, except for cash on delivery, to settle with the producer within 20 days; requires a surety bond from such buyers to protect the farmer from losses. A. B. 1287, by Assemblyman Desmond, authorizes market milk control board to fix retail prices at which fluid milk shall be sold to consumers; provides that the price in retail stores shall be not less than five cents per quart more than the price paid the producer; and that the delivered price on a milk route shall be not less than six cents per quart more than the farmer's price. They both agree GAS COOKS BETTER They both agree GAS COOKS BETTER AND COSTS LESS WHERE it’s cooking results that count, or low fuel costs—natural gas is first choice! No other method of cookery gives such complete efficiency for roasting, baking, frying and broiling. Natural gas gives the right kind of heat. It provides the exact temperature required—high, low, or any of the degrees between. It’s faster—goes to work without delay. And it’s off the instant you want it off. Consider not only the delicious dishes you can prepare with natural gas—but consider your budget, too. A complete meal for the average family, cooked with natural gas, costs about a penny! As a further economy and for better results, use a modern, fuel-saving gas range. Your dealer or your gas company will show you the latest models and explain various easy payment plans.
