E. Wahlberg. In a report recently received by him from the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, the following crops and sources of income of farmers for 1942 were listed in order of their importance in the nation: Product Cash Income Milk $2,332,253,000 Cattle and Calves 2,305,019,000 Hogs 2,197,873,000 Poultry and Eggs 1,647,742,000 Cotton, Cottonseed 1,458,669,000 Wheat 836,570,000 Truck Crops 645,080,000 Tobacco 483,344,000 Corn 480,368,000 Sheep and lambs 308,062,000 Potatoes 300,508,000 Citrus Fruit 242,074,000 Soybeans 231,349,000 Wool 157,235,000 Apples 155,531,000 Hay 115,313,000 Oats 111,187,000 Flaxseed 96,073,000 Barley 91,902,000 Rice 86,552,000 Peaches 86,169,000 Editor Wheeler McMillen of the Farm Journal, one of the Nation's most widely-read farm magazines, published an article in his current issue entitled, "The Policy For Peasantry," which makes such sound analysis of one of the major post-war problems that will confront American agriculture that permission has been obtained to re-print part of it in this column.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE Theo B. Kuchel, Gen. Mgr. 59 E. Center — Ph. 2206-2207 Avocado Returns in Orange County Highest In Years Avocado returns for the 1943 crop year were the highest in the past years production cost study, according to the annual production cost bulletin just completed by the Farm Advisor's office in Orange county. Not only was the average price of 10.2 cents per pound to the grower the best in the long period analyzed, said Farm Advisor H. E. Wahlberg, but the average yield of 4,500 pounds per acre for 1943 was comparatively high. The result was a satisfactory return per acre or most of the orchards reporting. The study encloses the cost of production reports from representative avocado orchards in the Habra, Yorba Linda, Brea, Millerton, and Orange districts. The analysis shows that costs have risen also. Labor costs averaged $74.71 per acre in 1943 compared to a ten-year average of $54.52. Material costs (fertilizer and water) average $32.07 per acre; harvesting costs were $8.03. Total cash costs, including poor, material, harvesting, taxes and miscellaneous brought total cash costs to $137.86 per acre. Other costs considered were interest on the investment, depreciation of improvements and equipment, making a grand total cost of $229.76 per acre.

March 9. (Special)—Evidence of the millions of pounds of food produced by Future Farmers of America in California last year was revealed this week in the announcement of the winners of a “Food for Victory” contest sponsored by a commercial firm. The seven winning FFA chapters which shared more than $600 in prize money for producing the most food per Future Farmer, in order, were San Benito high school at Hollister, Coast Union at Cambria, Tranquillity, Gilroy, Caruthers, Petaluma and Orland. Prizes ranged from $175 to $25. The total production in the state was calculated by the actual reports of the 49 chapters competing. Since these were average chapters well distributed throughout the state, and represent about one-fourth of the total, the statewide production was reached by multiplying the known totals by four. On this basis, the Future Farmers in California produced in 1943 about 14 million pounds of milk, a million pounds of poultry, a million dozen eggs, four million pounds of pork, nearly two million of beef, a half-million pounds of veal, the same of lamb, 10 million pounds of tomatoes, three million of potatoes, a half-million of dry beans, and almost four million pounds of dried fruits and raisins. Boys in California vocational agriculture classes tended 18 million square feet of home garden. Wide Range of Yield Per Acre The 1943 production reports varied from 1517 pounds per acre to 5621 pounds. In 1942 the study showed a variation from 1984 pounds per acre in the lowest orchard to 17,472 pounds in the highest orchard. The average yield for 1942 was 6,862 pounds per acre, compared to 4,500 this year. This reflects the alternate growing habit of the avocado tree. Pruning costs in 1943 varied from nothing to $37.50 per acre with an average of $7.82. Cultivation costs from nothing to $1.85 per acre with an average $8.36 per acre. Irrigation labor varied from $2.34 to $26.89 per acre with an average of $21.19. Water costs were reported from $1.14 to $46.25 with an average $10.32. Fertilizer costs for materials and labor of spreading varied from $5.61 per acre to $9.45 and average $32.35 per acre.

Total cash costs, including poor, material, harvesting, taxes and miscellaneous brought total cash costs to $137.86 per acre. Other costs considered were interest on the investment, depreciation of improvements and equipment, making a grand total cost of $229.76 per acre. You can sell more goods to prosperous customers than to paupers. Industry can sell more goods to a prosperous rural America than it can hope to sell to the low-wage masses abroad. "Neither rural-America nor city-America will proser if, after the war, the doctrines of the internationalists are permitted to be fixed on the United States. You hear their slogans: 'We can't sell unless we buy'; 'trade barriers must be removed.'" You can't sell to the 70,000,000 people in rural and small-town America, either, unless you buy from American farmers. And if you reduce the earning power of American farmers, you won't be very busy selling either at home or abroad. The 'No Help Wanted' signs will hang on the factory gates. Cheap food from abroad will do little good for the wage earners in our cities if out on the rural routes farmers are not buying from the factories. "A permanent policy of internationalism means peasantry on our farms and poverty in our cities." There is much of real truth and sound analysis in that article. This writer, however, while concurring in Editor McMillen's general statement of the case, thinks there is a way open for gradually and intelligently promoting world trade, while protecting American production. But it must come by raising living standards (and wage scales) abroad, rather than by lowering standards and wages at home. Next: "What will America's Influence be on World Wage Scales?"

PRISONER'S PLEA FOR PAROLE DENIED Echoes of the robbery of two Anaheim business houses, a drive-in market at Adele and North Los Angeles streets in 1940, and the J. C. Penney store the following year, were heard in the recent plea for parole from San Quentin prison made by Robert Estrada Carroll of Fullerton. State Board of Prison Farms and Paroles denied Carroll's plea so he must serve out his sentence at San Quentin on second degree burglary charges.

OPA In Special Ruling For Farmers On Off-highway Gas Starting March 15, Farmers who buy gasoline for use in their off-the-highway vehicles with "E" and "R" coupons must endorse them when they are exchanged for gasoline, in almost the same manner as other coupon holders do. This is the newest ruling of the Office of Price Administration in its fight against black marketeteers, and was announced here today by Paul Barksdale d'Orr, OPA ration chief for eight southern California counties. "After March 15," says d'Orr, "all 'E' and 'R' coupons must be endorsed before they can be exchanged for gasoline, whether the fuel is picked up in a can at a filling station or is delivered by tank wagon into a storage tank on the purchaser's own property. However, instead of writing his name and address on every coupon as in the past, the farmer or other non-highway consumer may endorse a strip or block of coupons with a single signature, if he gives them to his supplier as a unit. He may also use an ordinary pencil, instead of ink or indelible pencil as previously required. "For example, the farmer calling a filling station for one gallon of gas will give the attendant one 'E' coupon, on which he has written his name and address on the face of the coupon. This is just as he has always done, but if he wants four, he can present a strip of 4 coupons, with his endorsement either across the whole strip or on just one of the stamps.

In a letter commemorating Mobilization Week, President Roosevelt addressed members of the nation's 4-H Clubs as "among the shock troops on the food production front which, this year more than ever, will give that extra impetus to the war effort so essential to ultimate victory." 4-H Club boys and girls are renewing time pledges to carry on the seven main tasks set for "For example, the farmer calling a filling station for one gallon of gas will give the attendant one 'E' coupon, on which he has written his name and address on the face of the coupon. This is just as he has always done, but if he wants four, he can present a strip of 4 coupons, with his endorsement either across the whole strip or on just one of the stamps. The farmer who has a 50-gallon tank on his farm and accepts delivery from tank wagon, suppose he takes 35 gallons, he will tender 7 'R' coupons, to be endorsed either on the face of one of these or across the strip. Tank wagon drivers may no longer accept unsigned coupons for such farm deliveries. "OPA realizes that farmers are busy people, and to save their time, this rule permitting him to sign only one for each delivery strip was developed. When the gasoline dealer pastes 'E' or 'R' coupons on the sheets, he should try to fit each strip on a sheet as a unit. If it is necessary to detach any, he is required to write the name and address on each coupon or group which does not bear the complete endorsement." In a letter commemorating Mobilization Week, President Roosevelt addressed members of the nation's 4-H Clubs as "among the shock troops on the food production front which, this year more than ever, will give that extra impetus to the war effort so essential to ultimate victory." 4-H Club boys and girls are renewing time pledges to carry on the seven main tasks set for themselves when the Nation went to war, including the production and conservation of the needed food for home and abroad; saving needed supplies; health protection; acquiring technical and mechanical skills to aid wartime production needs; understanding of the nation's war program; learn and practice democratic procedures in their own clubs; and study and discuss social and economic forces now active. The twenty 4-H Clubs in the county are supervised by the Agricultural Extension Service and the county 4-H Council is headed by Deane Smiley of Orange. The Gazette wants your personal news items.
