This fact was brought to light by the annual report which Fire Chief R. Nyboe presented Tuesday night at the city council meeting. During the year the department received 86 calls, Nyboe's report stated, but responded to only 65 of these since 15 of the calls were silent alarms, made for brush fires, etc., and six were inhalator calls. Of the last named, four were reported as successful. Sixteen calls were for automobile fires; three were out-of-town; others were for burning awnings; trash fires, etc., with 16 calls involving buildings, at an estimated loss of $9,715. In all, the fire department laid 250 feet of hose and used chemicals to the amount of more than 22 gallons of foamite and 10 quarts of pyrene.

Invocation California's Field Crops For 1943 Reach High Record California's field crops for 1943 set a new production record and represented a combined value of $352,359,000, as announced by California Crop Reporting service. This total was a 20 per cent advance over totals for the previous year, and was achieved as the service pointed out, "despite many problems and handicaps encountered by farmers throughout the season, with shortages of labor, machinery and repairs, equipment, materials and trucking facilities." The crop value setting such a high record resulted from both price increases and above average production, the service stated. However it was pointed out that the increased total value of crops "does not represent a corresponding net gain to the farmer, since labor and other production costs in 1943 were much higher than usual." Statistics issued from Sacramento and compiled by the crop and livestock reporting service, revealed that while acreages of most crops were reduced, yields were better in many instances, and prices doubled in some cases. Trebled those received during the previous year. Growers and shippers of vegetable and melon crops, as reported by the State Department of Agriculture, jumped their 1942 returns by more than 58 billion dollars when they received $218,-912,000 for their 1943 crops.
