Center — Ph. 2206-2207 Egg Situation Has Not Improved; 'Use More Eggs' The campaign to encourage greater use of eggs is being carried on indefinitely through the southland since the egg supply continues to grow, even the face of much lower than usual prices for eggs. Egg dealers and poultrymen attempt to move as much as the surplus as possible and as soon as possible, through retail outlets by an advertising campaign that will include posters in all stores cafes and fountains where e-drinks are served. Mayors of the various cities have been asked to issue a proclamation calling upon the public to use more eggs in the general effort to dispose of the surplus which now fills all available storage. When the government asked for a ten percent increase in the production of eggs, due to a mild season in the east, the productivity actually went up in some localities nearly 50 percent. So far the extra production has not been consumed, even though egg prices are down. If the egg crop is moved, it is feared many chickens raisers may dispose of their flood which would result in an acute shortage of eggs in the coming season. A. H. Heineman, Orange, chairman of the poultry department of the California Farm Bureau Federation, states that the removal point requirements on most meats has caused many to switch from the "no-point" eggs to no-poat meats. This change in the demand for eggs has also been accompanied by the fact that hatcherys have so little demand for chicks that eggs ordinarily sent there are now being diverted to the market.

Los Angeles St., Anaheim It appears that California’s 1944 valencia orange crop will face less competition than last year. Latest U.S.D.A. figures indicate the combined apple-peach-year crop will be under 155,000 bushels compared to a 225,000 bushel crop in 1943. RETURNS TO HOME IN EAST Mrs. V. E.

Directory of Reliable BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL MEN AND FIRMS (FOR LISTING ON THIS PAGE CALL THE GAZETTE, PHONE 2206) The FARMERS CORNER by RALPH H. TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California The U. S. Treasury Department, in its drive to stimulate the buying of war bonds by farmers, has delved into what farmers are doing with their money—now that agricultural earnings are above normal—and has reached the conclusion that too great a share of the cash surplus is on deposit in rural banks, where it constitutes a potential inflationary menace. Quite naturally and logically, the Treasury Department urges the purchase of more war bonds to dissipate this danger — advice which is certainly sound, both from the standpoint of the country's welfare, and from the standpoint of the individual farmer, who needs to put something away for the inevitable rainy day. It is this writer's opinion, however, after checking the facts developed by the Treasury Department, that farmers should also be putting more of their extra cash into the retirement of their debts, so that they will be better conditioned to weather the economic storms which are certain to timated at $4,800,000,000 for 1943. It is evident, therefore, if the Treasury Department's figures are correct, that farmers have not yet approached a level of mortgage debt payments which would jeopardize their war bond buying ability. This is the time for farmers to put it away—in war bonds and in debt retirement payments. There may not be another such time in our lifetimes. Don't fritter it away. Put it away. It's the only sensible policy. Land Bank Advises Paying Off Loans Out of Income Many California farm debts that were incurred during the agricultural expansion of the last world war, subsequent boom and depression are being whittled down at a rapid rate according to the records of the Federal Land Bank of Berkeley. Since January 1, 1940 to April first of this year, Caliifornia farmers have paid in over forty-eight million dollars in Land Bank and Commissioner loans, so that the outstanding mortgage debt on Land Bank and Land Bank Commissioner loans is now only a little over eighty-seven millions. The Land Bank is encouraging its borrowers to pay off their loans, where that can be done, out of income rather than pur- PRINTING THAT'S A CREDIT TO YOU The printed matter that is out of your offices affects your standards.

Center — Ph. 2206-2207 Situation Not Improved; More Eggs' A campaign to encourage a use of eggs is being carried indefinitely throughout Southland since the egg surplus continues to grow, even in one of much lower than usual prices for eggs. Dealers and poultrymen are going to move as much of plus as possible and as soon as possible, through retail outlets and advertising campaign that include posters in all stores, and fountains where eggs are served. Overs of the various cities have been asked to issue a process calling upon the public to more eggs in the general to dispose of the surplus now fills all available storage. In the government asked for a percent increase in the production of eggs, due to a mild sea-east, the production went up in some locally 50 percent. So far this production has not been used, even though egg prices own. If the egg crop is not it is feared many chickens may dispose of their flocks would result in an acute shortage of eggs in the coming year. Heineman, Orange, chair of the poultry department of California Farm Bureau Fed., states that the removal of requirements on most meats used many to switch from no-point" eggs to no-point" This change in the demand has also been accompanied by the fact that hatcheries so little demand for chicks ordinarily sent there are being diverted to the market. It is this writer's opinion, however, after checking the facts developed by the Treasury Department, that farmers should also be putting more of their extra cash into the retirement of their debts, so that they will be better conditioned to weather the economic storms which are certain to come during the after-the-war period. This suggestion should not be construed as running contrary to that of the Treasury Department; actually, it goes hand-in-hand with that department's recommendation. If the farmer, instead of paying another thousand dollars on the mortgage, wants to invest that thousand in war bonds—earmarking those bonds, in his own mind, to be used when the war is over toward retiring his debt—they are aiding both his country and his family. Actually, however, many farmers—if the Treasury Department's figures are correct, as we assume they are—could increase both their bond purchases and their payments in their debts, and still have more left for running expenses than they had for many years. And recognizing that the present "boom conditions" can't possibly last, when the war ends, that would certainly be a provident policy. Gross farm income in the United States from sales of crops and livestock in 1943 is estimated at $19,138,000,000—or 23 per cent more than in 1942, and 2.3 times as great as in 1940. (These are Treasury Department estimates.) To the cash farm income from marketing can be added an estimated cash item of $600,000,000 which farmers received in the form of government payments in 1943, making a total cash farm income of $19,738,000,000. Incidentally, farmers are unwilling recipients of government subsidies at a time such as this, and are doing their utmost to see that they are abolished. Cash farm expenses for 1943 were estimated to be $9,700,000,000 and cash expenditures for family living and personal expenses at $8,700,000,000—leaving a balance og $1,338,000,000. Add to this, says the Treasury Department, $3,500,-000,000 in cash received by farmers from non-farm sources and of Berkeley. Since January 1, 1940 to April first of this year, California farmers have paid in over forty-eight million dollars in Land Bank and Commissioner loans, so that the outstanding mortgage debt on Land Bank and Land Bank Commissioner loans is now only a little over eighty-seven millions. The Land Bank is encouraging its borrowers to pay off their loans, where that can be done, out of income rather than purchase additional land at inflated prices, and to buy war bonds for the post-war period so as to be in a position to take care of necessary machinery replacements and needed improvements. According to a recently revised estimate by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, the all-time high for California farm mortgage debt was in 1931 when it approximated $615,332,000. Since then there has been a downward trend of California farm mortgage debt so that on January 1, 1943 it was but $356,559,000, which is about twelve million dollars less than during the post-war boom in 1919. Heineman, Orange, chair of the poultry department of California Farm Bureau Fed., states that the removal of requirements on most meats used many to switch from no-point" eggs to no-point. This change in the demand has also been accompanied by the fact that hatcheries do little demand for chicks eggs ordinarily sent there are being diverted to the market. Heinemann stated that it is exaggerated that the demand for will probably pick up when public realizes the fact that may be a scarcity of eggs year. Factors contributing to over-supply of eggs at this include the astounding re-load of the population to pleas last year for back-yard in the interest of increasing production. Also normal cold facilities have not been able this year due to the storage of other types of and war materials. Working with War Food Administra-tive Farm Bureau has succeeded in surmounting most of the problems and the leaders that the situation will be had soon.

McCollum, who has been visiting with her sister, Maynard Thompson, and mother, Mrs. J. F. Donovan, left Tuesday to return home in Minneapolis, Minn, Cash farm expenses for 1943 were estimated to be $9,700,000,000 and cash expenditures for family living and personal expenses at $8,700,000,000—leaving a balance og $1,338,000,000. Add to this, says the Treasury Department, $3,500,-000,000 in cash received by farmers from non-farm sources and there remains $4,838,000,000 in the hands of the farmers as cash available from 1943 for savings and payment of income taxes. Now let's look at what farmers are paying to reduce their indebtedness. The Bureau of Agricultural Economics estimates that in 1942 farmers paid between $750,000,-000 and $300,000,000 in the principal amount of farm mortgage indebtedness. An $800,000,000 payment represents only 5.2 per cent of the 1942 cash farm income from crops, livestock and livestock products. In 1943, according to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, farmers paid about 1 per cent more money on mortgage debt than in 1942. A liberal estimate would place the '43 debt payment at $900,000,000, or only 4.7 per cent of the 1943 estimated cash income from crops, livestock and livestock products. The fact that farmers can do still better is amply demonstrated by this analysis from the Treasury Department: Farm income available for savings and income taxes, computed after deducting all cash expenditures for farm operation, family living and personal items, was $4,200,000,000 in 1942—and is es- ...but we can't take time out to celebrate Ordinarily we'd make quite a fuss over such an event the 75th anniversary of America's first transcontinental railroad—of which Southern Pacific is a part. We'd have a "Diamond Jubilee," with ceremonies, celebrations, bquets and all the trimmings. But in May, 1944, Southern Pacific people will have little time to honor the men who built the first railroad across America and drove its last spike home on May 1869. We're too busy keeping the war trains rolling on 15,000 miles of line. The historic line that rounded the northern end Great Salt Lake to Promontory, where the Golden Spire was driven, was replaced by the Lucin Cut-off. The rails have long since been torn up and sent to war. But if it were possible to send a message back through the corridors of Time, we would send the grateful thank you of a railroad at war to those determined men who quered the Sierra 75 years ago... ...to Leland Stanford, Mark Hopkins, Charles Crockett and Collis P.

Z. Eller, advertising manager of the California Fruit growers Exchange. First advertisements of the current campaign are to appear during the week of May 20th and will continue throughout the valencia orange season. The vitamin value of oranges for child health and general diet needs will be featured throughout the valencia orange season. The vitamin value of oranges for child health and general diet needs will be featured throughout the series. "Millions of Americans do not eat adequate breakfasts," states Miller. "Inadequate breakfasts are almost always lacking in vitamin A. By featuring the addition of orange juice to the American breakfast we are helping Americans to keep healthy at a time when good, health is extremely essential." A total of 451 daily newspapers in 324 American and Canadian cities will carry Sunkist black and white advertisements throughout the next four months. Extra support in the newspaper field will come from four full-color pages in sixteen Sunday newspaper magazine supplements and three leading Sunday papers in Chicago, Philadelphia and New York with a total circulation of approximately eleven million. Forty full-color pages featuring the health value of Sunkist valencias will appear in ten leading national monthly magazines. The publications chosen to carry this campaign include those with highest circulation among wage earners. In addition to the magazine and newspaper schedules, street car cards in 119 market areas will carry Sunkist valencia copy and subway posters will be used in New York and Chicago. Painted outdoor bulletins will be employed in five of the largest eastern cities. The Sunkist sales message will be taken direct to wholesale dealers and retail grocers through an advertising schedule in their trade papers. Soda fountain, hotel and restaurant magazines are also included in this trade paper schedule. Women's Fellowship Luncheon Today Mrs. J. Davenport, whose home is in Orange but who has recently returned from the mission field in Venezuela, will be the principal speaker at the Women's Fellowship Luncheon being held at the First Presbyterian church at 12:45 today (Thursday). She will talk on "Latin-American Womanhood," this subject promising to be of a very interesting nature since she has spent some time among the people of our southern neighbors. The program chairman for the meeting is Mrs. Ada Johnson; devotions, Mrs. Emma Karlen; luncheon chairman, Mrs. Ruth Lumsden. Over one hundred reservations had been received by Wednesday evening.
