America wants the best and clothing—for the less sible cost. That is typical economy. Extreme evidence this two-fold desire is the city support for consumer sidies, so the people would spend so much of the wartime earnings in the cities of life, but can have of the luxuries. If ever ajority of the people could pay good prices without bling, now is that time—the less the best paid they have been foremost in asking prices be held down by so even though that is only making the day of reckoning. But if consumers of the think they can get more cheaper food and cloth placing artificial limits size of farms—and making it a Nation of small then they have surely be astray by false phophets. The road to high prices and not an economy of abt. In George Washington when farming was large work of men and animals—it took 90 men to the food for 100 people. Since then, the efficiency American farmer has been tiplied many times by man and improved producing of crops and animals, but by machinery. As a result it takes only 21 1/3 persons gaged in farming to feed people.

Stated more clearly, in early America a farmer fed himself and his family and provided one-tenth of what one non-farmer required. But today, the farmer feeds himself and his family and five other people in the cities and towns. The fatal flaw in the small farmer theory is that the small farmer, romantically envisioned by gentlemen like Secretary of the Interior Ickes, cannot afford to own expensive farm machinery to farm a small acreage. True, the machinery steps up his efficiency materially, but it is in use such a small fraction of the time that he cannot afford to make the investment. Therefore, he must rely largely on old-fashioned hand methods to get his work done—and as a consequence, his costs will be high and his income low. That condition, of course, if it were permitted to obtain generally, would mean that American agriculture would retrograde—and we would have a peasant class on our farms, and a generally lowered standard of living in our cities as well. While it is probable, in this writer's opinion, that the number of acres in average American farms will increase, rather than decrease, as a result of the greater use of machinery in farming operations, this does not mean that farms are going to resemble factories. Nor does it mean that the land will gradually endure the stresses of daily life. Orange County Is Second High In Lima Bean Acreage Orange county has 31,200 acres planted to standard lima beans this year, it was disclosed in a report by the board of directors of the California Lima Bean Growers association. The report was for the fiscal year ended July 6 and showed a total of 95,-000 acres have been planted to these beans in the five southern counties of Orange, San Diego, Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara, which county showed the largest acreage, 39,400, with Orange county second. The report stated standard lima acreage had been reduced in the five counties over that of last year. Increased plantings of tomatoes, sugar beets, alfalfa, carrots, beets and special seed beans were given as the reason for the reduction. Gross sales returns from the 1943 crop pools will exceed $6,-000,000, and will be the highest since 1929. FARM SAFETY WEEK SET FOR JULY 23-29 CHICAGO—The week of July 23-29 will be observed throughout the nation as National Farm Safety Week. Midway City CWINS BUTTERFAT CONTEST FOR JUNE R. F. Hazard of Midway had high cow in the June fat tests made by the County Cowtesting assis said W. M. Cory, Assistant Advisor. Number 322 in ward dairy herd produced pounds of milk and 113.5 of butterfat for the month. First place in high health under 36 cows went to Cabana, with an average pounds of butterfat. In to 65 cows, the Core herd was high with an average 40.9 pounds of butterfat herds of over 65 cows, Baker herd was first average of 44.2 pounds of fat. Twenty-five herds wif cows were tested in the by Ira Gill and Pete G testers for the associative average 1,027 pounds and 37.2 pounds of butterfat.

TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California (EDITOR'S NOTE:—This is the first of two articles by Ralph H. Taylor, farm cooperative leader and legislative observer, discussing the question whether individual farms should be smaller—or larger—and the current agitation for placing legal limitations on the size of farms.) Among social reformers and political experimentalists, who are often schooled in theory, but short on experience, it has become popular to talk glibly of preserving the small farmer. But do they actually know what they are talking about? Perhaps it would be well for the American people, before they accept generalized statements on this question at face value, to take a look at the small farmers in countries where small farming operations predominate. For the most part, they are povertystricken and backward—and certainly, not by any stretch of the imagination, do they represent the kind of farmers we want in America, or the kind we now have. America wants the best in food and clothing—for the least possible cost. That is typical of our economy. Extreme evidence of agriculture would retrograde—and we would have a peasant class on our farms, and a generally lowered standard of living in our cities as well. While it is probable, in this writer's opinion, that the number of acres in average American farms will increase, rather than decrease, as a result of the greater use of machinery in farming operations, this does not mean that farms are going to resemble factories. Nor does it mean that the land will gradually fall under the control of a relatively small number of farm corporations or land barons. Huge farming operations, involving thousands of acres, will likely dwindle in number, due to the factors which will be discussed in a subsequent column. They are feared more by fictionists and political demagogues than by persons familiar with agricultural problems. On the other hand, small farms will likely be expanded to sufficient and economical use of farm ent an deconomical use of farm machinery. There is a middle ground which is a sound ground for the development of a successful agriculture. (Next: "Agriculture Must Go ahead, not fall back!") NATIONAL FARM SAFETY WEEK, 1944 BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION WHEREAS it behooves this Nation gratefully to acknowledge its special dependence upon the skill and labor of its farmers in the gigantic task of waging war; and WHEREAS the loss of life and limb by accident among our farming population has already reached an appalling figure, and the risks have lately been increased by longer hours of work and consequent fatigue; and WHEREAS it is essential to our war effort that this waste of vital farm power be minimized in every possible way: NOW, THEREFORE, I, FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon the Nation to observe the week commencing July 23, 1944, as National Farm Safety Week. And I request all persons and organizations concerned with agriculture and farm life to unite in an effort, during this National Farm Safety Week, to stimulate among farmers a full realization of the need for constant attention to the old and familiar precautions against the hazards of year. Increased plantings of tomatoes, sugar beets, alfalfa, carrots, beets and special seed beans were given as the reason for the reduction. Gross sales returns from the 1943 crop pools will exceed $6,-000,000, and will be the highest since 1929. FARM SAFETY WEEK SET FOR JULY 23-29 CHICAGO—The week of July 23-29 will be observed throughout the nation as National Farm Safety Week. The National Safety Council and all agencies concerned with agriculture and farm life are uniting in this effort to prevent accidents that in 1943 alone killed 17,200 farm residents and injured 1,225,000 others, many of them permanently. President Roosevelt officially has designated the week as a period in which the attention of the nation may be called to the need for year-round care in preventing accidents on the farm and to farm people. FEDERAL HIGHWAY AID From 1917 to 1943, Federal Aid and emergency highway appropriations totaled $3,745,000,000 exclusive of WPA or like relief allocation, information released to the Automobile Club of Southern California reveals. In addition, it is estimated that State funds used to match the Federal monies are considerably more than equal to that figure. ARMY MOTOR VEHICLE The United States Army used motor vehicles in action pages in 1916. According Automobile Club of California's information vehicles and trailers are no waste, according to advice Automobile Club of California. Greatest depth on the ground checked surveyors was found in California mountains. THE PUBLIC IS CORRECT THUR., AUGUST 18 America wants the best in food and clothing—for the least possible cost. That is typical of our economy. Extreme evidence of this two-fold desire is the present city support for consumer subsidies, so the people won't have to spend so much of their high wartime earnings in the necessities of life, but can have more of the luxuries. If ever the majority of the people could afford to pay good prices without grumbling, now is that time—but none—the less the best paid workers have been foremost in asking that prices be held down by subsidies, even though that is only postponing the day of reckoning. But if consumers of the country think they can get more and cheaper food and clothing by placing artificial limits on the size of farms—and making America a Nation of small farms—then they have surely been led astray by false phophets. That is the road to high prices and scarcity, not an economy of abundance. In George Washington's time, when farming was largely the work of men and animals—mostly men—it took 90 men to produce the food for 100 people. Since then, the efficiency of the American farmer has been multiplied many times by machinery, and improved producing strains of crops and animals, but chiefly by machinery. As a result, today it takes only 21 1/3 persons engaged in farming to feed 100 people. NOW, THEREFORE, I, FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon the Nation to observe the week commencing July 23, 1944, as National Farm Safety Week. And I request all persons and organizations concerned with agriculture and farm life to unite in an effort, during this National Farm Safety Week, to stimulate among farmers a full realization of the need for constant attention to the old and familiar precautions against the hazards of their calling, and also to awaken in them a sense of responsibility for the proper instruction in rules of safety of the many young and inexperienced persons now being employed on farms in all parts of the country. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States of America to be affixed. DONE at the city of Washington this sixteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord Nineteen hundred and Forty-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and sixty-eighth. (SEAL) (Signed) FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT. By the President: (Signed) CORDELL HULL, Secretary of State.

Midway City Cow Wins Butterfat Contest For June R. F. Hazard of Midway City had high cow in the June butterfat tests made by the Orange County Cowtesting association, said W. M. Cory, Assistant Farm Advisor. Number 322 in the Hazard dairy herd produced 1,752 pounds of milk and 113.5 pounds of butterfat for the month. First place in high herd average under 36 cows went to Rancho Cabana, with an average of 40.9 pounds of butterfat. In herds 36 to 65 cows, the Core De Jong herd was high with an average of 40.9 pounds of butterfat, and in herds of over 65 cows, the Dick Baker herd was first with an average of 44.2 pounds of butterfat. Twenty-five herds with 3,090 cows were tested in the month by Ira Gill and Pete Garretson, testers for the association. They average 1,027 pounds of milk and 37.2 pounds of butterfat. FIVE CENT COFFEE PRICE IN OPA REGULATION Five cents a cup or pot of hot coffee, including cream and sugar, will be the maximum price most eating or drinking establishments can charge after July 31, the date when a national restaurant regulation becomes effective, OPA officials said today. A charge of more than 5 cents per cup or pot can be made only by those establishments that charged a higher price during the seven-day period October 4-10, 1942, and who have filed a statement to that effect with their local OPA boards. Iced coffee prices remain under the April 4- AAA AND THE FARMER PERISHABLES BRING TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM "Because no one wants even one pound of food to spoil through lack of transportation or otherwise, the utmost of cooperation must exist between governmental agencies and private enterprise." This statement made by A. F. Schroeder, Chairman of the Orange County Farm Transportation Committee of the Triple-A, reflects the scope of activities carried on by the committee in cooperation with the Office of Defense Transportation. "In order to obtain the greatest possible amount of efficiency from trucks in the farm truck class and heavier trucks, every possible effort is being made to keep the farm trucks on short hauls and the heavy trucks constantly moving on the highways with full loads. Under this program the ODT carries the primary responsibility where over-the-road haulers are concerned. The CFTC's have the primary responsibility where farm trucks are concerned," Schroeder commented. "An operating plan has been developed which is directed toward the use of farm trucks for transporting commodities from farm to roadside or other assembly point, including farm to destination where the processing plant, packing house, or cannery which is the destination, is not more than 25 miles from the farm and such haulage is practical. Where greater distances are involved or where loads and other factors are such as to make more economic the use of heavy trucks, this course will be recommended," Schroeder commented. "We were unable to get a program that would function. It was difficult to make it fit. That is the reason I fought so strenuously when we established the farm program in 1932 and 1933 to get the county and community committee system woven into it. "Because that is the one chance that the farmer, the producer out yonder, has to have his voice heard in what is for his interest and what is for his benefit, and that has been a lifeline in the whole program, and that is what has enabled him to succeed." Now there have been a lot of kicks and complaints from people who didn't want the program to live. There have been some people who would like to have seen the program chucked, so there has been some fire at this thing. But anybody who will go out and attend one of these regional or district meetings of these committees and see the fine interest and the intelligent grasp they have of the program will know and realize that is where the program gets its fire, its animation, its life. That is where the lifeblood flows, and I don't want to see that group choked down to where they can't function..."
