Three Measures Farm Group Celebrates Its 21st Anniversary in Orange County Quietly celebrating the 21st anniversary of the founding of the Orange County Farm Bureau, directors of the organization met at the farm bureau building Thursday to consider several matters, chief of which was recommendations appearing on the fall ballot. Chief proposal's receiving the endorsement of the farm bureau included the one entitled "Labor," which is No. 1 on the ballot. The directors opposed the so-called "single tax," the Garrison Bond act, and the "$30 every Thursday" measure, among others. Opposition to the single tax was based upon the expectation that such a tax would ruin California farmers, and the farm bureau expects to carry on an active campaign against the measure. The Garrison Bond act was opposed on the basis of it not requiring the regular two-thirds majority in voting bonds, but reduces the number to a mere majority. A marketing committee was set up, to be composed of representatives from each commodity group in the county. This marketing committee is a part of a state-wide group within the farm bureau who will study especially fruit and vegetable marketing with the goal of formulating practices and legislation that will help to return to the grower a larger share of the price of his product. Before 1840, more timber was felled to clear land than to provide material for building and industry. HUSBANDS ATTENTION!!!
