TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California America at war, and America at work — fighting and sweating to win a hard-earned victory — is learning lessons which may prove of vast value in returning the country to a sound economy during the years of peace. It is highly improbable, at least, that America, during the next decade, will place much faith in an economy of scarcity such as was foisted on this nation during the decade of depression. Faced with a bitter war for survival, America has learned that it must literally work out its own salvation — by its own its own salvation — by its own prodigious production, as well as by the courage and resourcefulness of its men in the armed forces. America has learned again that there is pride and joy in hard STANDARDS AND EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES. “AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO SAVE AND INVEST. “These goals mean that mass unemployment, ruinous farm prices, violent ups and downs in business, monopolistic practices in any field, socialization of business, and a government-planned economy for the nation must be avoided. The desired objective can be brought about by united cooperative action and understanding among all of the country's major economic groups as producers and consumers.” Reading that, may we not take heart at this evidence of a returning public consciousness that the fundamental social and economic laws of life, learned through the ages of experience, cannot be lightly broken or flaunted by wishful thinking, without grave injury to the nation?

Commonwealth Fullerton Phone - Fullerton 653-J How Is Time To Turn Under Green Fertilizer Crops Cover crops that are continued the orchard from now on are a finite competition to the trees, according to a statement made today by Farm Advisor H. E.ahlberg. They compete with tree roots in connection with soil moisture and absorption of fertilizer elements—particularly nitrates — that are now essential to the feed-roots of the tree prior to and during the period of flush of new growth and blossoming. The winter cover crop is a desirable source of organic matter and where good stands are obtained, may supply a large portion of the organic matter required by citrus trees. The cover crop best assimilated in the process decomposition when it is turned under in the succulent stage. If allowed to ripen to maturity, the drawy material is slower to decompose and its benefits are delayed. In fact, says the Farm Advisor. Faced with a bitter war for survival, America has learned that it must literally work out its own salvation — by its own its own salvation — by its own prodigious production, as well as by the courage and resourcefulness of its men in the armed forces. America has learned again that there is pride and joy in hard manual labor. And it has learned to pin its faith in all-out production, rather than in Washington cure-alls, or government directives. A few weeks ago, sixteen major organized groups, including the principal farm and labor organizations, met at Atlantic City and spent two days discussing the problems which will confront America in the post-war world—and how to meet them. And the declaration of principles and objectives that came out of that gathering leaves little doubt that American labor and American business and American agriculture believe that we must win the peace, just as we are winning the war—by all-out production! Before reviewing the decisions reached, and the recommendations made, note should be taken of the organizations represented in this post-war planning conference. For the very names of the organizations are indicative of the fact that men and women in many walks of life have learned their common dependence on each other (rather than on government) and are making the first groping steps toward building together for a sound, prosperous America. Represented at this conference were the American Farm Bureau Federation, the American Federation of Labor, the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce of America, American Bankers Association, American Legion, the United States Chamber of Commerce, Association of American Railroads, the CIO, Investment Bankers Association of America, Committee for Economic Development, Kiwanis International, National Association of Manufacturers, National Council of Farmer Cooperatives, National Grange, National Foreign Trade Council, and Rotary International. After pledging all their resources and facilities to peak pro-injury to the nation? Growers Exchange Moves Sales Office To Los Angeles Transfer of its western division sales office from San Francisco to Los Angeles is the newest development in the California Fruit Growers Exchange sales organization. Sam H. Kelly, who became western division manager in 1941 is now at the Exchange citrus distributing plant in Los Angeles where he also takes over the duties of Los Angeles district sales manager, replacing W. J. Liddell who resigned to engage in another business. With the Sunkist organization 33 years, Kelly started at Amarillo, Texas, in 1911. From Texas he went to Shreveport, Louisiana, where he became district manager, later serving in this capacity at Oklahoma City, Detroit and San Francisco. The San Francisco office will be managed by Conway Smith, assistant district manager, assisted by Walter S. Murison. “Geographically the largest of the six Exchange sales divisions, and covering the ten western states and British Columbia, the western division in 1943 sold nearly 19,000 cars of citrus fruits,” states Paul S. Armstrong, general manager of the Exchange. “Sales in the Los Angeles district alone accounted for 7,550 carloads, making it one of the most important markets on the continent.” Please phone your local, society or personal news items to The Gazette.

Stocks of merchandise in the hands of local dealers on March per cent larger than hand March 1, 1943; marketings to March late and intermediate tailed nearly 220,000; from the crop of 1943 with about 178,000; from the crop of 1943 1, 1943—an increase percent. Citrus Growers Urged To Wait For Aphis On Citrus growers are watch for aphis on orange trees, A. H. C. service department Orange Distributors that in some sections festations are extreme the pests tackling growth. Unless control are taken quickly, then a reduction in next year crop. It may be no says, to spray or duly achieve adequate control. Because of the heat during the winter, so are letting their trees In some instances, they have wilted because of moisture. Irrigation gin at once, since the assurance of further near future, Call says. DAHLIA GROWERS The spring meeting Orange County Dale was held Friday night County Farm Bureau dinner was enjoyed discussed for dahlia year. HANDS BEGIN TO FLY when the fleet moves in or it's payday in the Army Then the boys rush to the telephone—a bunch of them all at once— The winter cover crop is a desirable source of organic matter and where good stands are obtained, may supply a large portion of the organic matter required by citrus trees. The cover crop best assimilated in the process decomposition when it is turned under in the succulent stage. If allowed to ripen to maturity, the straw material is slower to decompose and its benefits are delayed. In fact, says the Farm Advisor, the straw fiber will engage the nitrifying bacteria and delay the availability of nitrates in the soil. The more quickly the cover crop disappears or "dissolves" in the soil, after turning under, the earlier it converts into fertilizer elements. If strawy material or residue from the cover crop can be recognized and seen for a long time after turning under, it is likely that the trees will not get the benefit of the organic matter until next season. Former Agricultural Commissioner To Be State Aggie Director Former agricultural commissioner of Orange county, A. A. Brock has been appointed by Gov. Carl Warren to the position of state director of agriculture, the job he held from 1933 to 1939. He now operates a pear orchard in Addorado county, as well as a dairy farm in Kern county and lemon and apricot orchards in Ventura county. Brock will take over the duties of William J. Cecil who recently designed the post to become manager of the California Grape growers and Shippers association. New car certificates were issued by OPA last week to Joe A. Moisi, route 3, Box 402, and J. Coleman Travis, route 3, Box 423, Anaheim. Farm War News Government butter purchases was resumed April 1 for the first time since last September, the War Food Administration reported in announcing that butter manufacturers will be required to set aside for war use only 10 per cent of their output during April. To turn out last year's record food and fiber production some 14½ million different persons worked on the nation's farms in 1943, according to a Department of Agriculture report. Because of the seasonal nature of farm work and the large turnover of persons doing small amounts of farm work, the 14½ million figure is naturally greater than the number at work at any given time in 1943, even during the peak. The total U. S. volume of construction activity in January was $315,793,000, nine per cent less than the December 1943 volume, and 63 per cent under the $844,-726,000 activity of January 1943. Housing activity in January dropped 18 per cent with government-financed housing declining 25 per cent and privately financed work down 13 per cent. Stocks of merchantable potatoes in the hands of growers and local dealers on March 1 were 70 per cent larger than stocks on hand March 1, 1943. Apparent marketings to March 1 in the 37 late and intermediate states totaled nearly 220,000,000 bushels from the crop of 1943 compared with about 178,000,000 bushels from the crop of 1942 on March 1, 1943—an increase of 24 per cent. Farmers Need Not File Declarations Of Income April 15 Farmers and ranchers of southern California need not file declarations of estimated 1944 income taxes by April 15 according to an announcement made by Collector of Internal Revenue Harry C. Westover. "Any person who derives 80 per cent or more of his total income from an agricultural operation is considered a farmer," Westover said, "and does not have to file a declaration until December 15 unless he so desires. This extension of time does not apply to agricultural employees or laborers, but only to the operator of the farm or ranch. "Farmers who wait until December 15 to file declarations must pay the entire amount of 1944 tax due at that time. Those farmers who elect to file in April will be privileged to pay their tax in quarterly installments. They also are allowed to amend or revise their April declarations in any or all of the subsequent quarterly periods of the year." Exemptions for farmers are $500 for single men, and $1200 for married couples. Married persons not living with spouse and heads of families are considered single and must observe the $500 value on the better orange groves are being raised from a top assessment of $500 per acre to $700, County Assessor James Sleeper announced, due to increased selling prices and incomes from the groves. The assessments are based on one-half of the true worth of the groves, he said, although selling prices range from $2,000 to $3,000 per acre for the better groves, according to recent sales reported. The task of making the assessments is expected to be finished by June first and the present force of 18 field deputies is to be increased to 22 in order to complete the job on time. Exemption. "Declaration form 1040-ES may be filed at any of the twenty revenue offices in southern California. Farmers who have not received this form in the mail who desire to file now may also secure blank forms at any of these twenty offices." Stocks of merchantable potatoes in the hands of growers and local dealers on March 1 were 70 per cent larger than stocks on hand March 1, 1943. Apparent marketings to March 1 in the 37 late and intermediate states totaled nearly 220,000,000 bushels from the crop of 1943 compared with about 178,000,000 bushels from the crop of 1942 on March 1, 1943—an increase of 24 per cent. Citrus Growers Are Urged To Watch For Aphis on Trees Citrus growers are urged to watch for aphis on valencia orange trees, A. H. Call, growers service department of Mutual Orange Distributors, declares that in some sections aphis infestations are extremely heavy, the pests tackling the bloom growth. Unless control measures are taken quickly, there will be a reduction in next year's valencia crop. It may be necessary, he says, to spray or dust twice to achieve adequate control. Because of the heavy rains during the winter, some growers are letting their trees become dry. In some instances, trees actually have wilted because of the lack of moisture. Irrigation should begin at once, since there is no assurance of further rains in the near future, Call says. DAHLIA GROWERS MEET The spring meeting of the Orange County Dahlia society was held Friday night at the County Farm Bureau. A potluck dinner was enjoyed. Plans were discussed for dahlia exhibits this year. "Thinking of building a new house?"
