Thursday, November 2, 1944 AND THE AAA FARMER CRAWLER TRACTOR OUTLOOK BLEAK Competition with military necessity for crawler tractors, key weapon in advancing our fighting fronts, leaves farm uses in a secondary position, according to Harry Bear, Chairman of the Orange County Farm Machinery Rationing Committee. California's quota of machines of all sizes is decreased by eight for the current quarter ending December 31. Although 12 items of farm machinery have recently been removed from the ration list, Bear pointed out that four groups; hay loaders, pick-up balers, side-delivery rakes, and wheel tractors, remain in tight supply as indicated in manufacturers' distribution patterns just submitted to the State AAA Committee for 80 percent of the projected 1945 production of farm machinery. POST-WAR FARMING Conservation of the nation's soil will continue to be the No. 1 agricultural problem in the post-war period, according to Claude R. Wickard, Secretary of Agriculture, and Marvin Jones, Food Adminis- trator before a special Congressional Committee on Post-War policy. Both farm officials urged the expansion of conservation programs already in operation and that suitable surplus war machinery be made available to farmers for constructing terraces, drainage and irrigation ditches, stock watering ponds, and other needed conservation developments. It was stressed at the hearing before the Committee that wise use of water through soil treatment, contour plowing, cover cropping, strip cropping, and other conservation farming practices, as well as the construction of such developments as ponds and dams, are closely related to the conservation practices and rebuilding of the soil. Virtualy all of the conservation practices discussed at the hearings are ones which Congress, through the Agricultural Adjustment Agency, has been assisting and encouraging an ever-increasing number of farmers to perform themselves. LEGUME SEED BENEFIT ELIGIBILITY EXTENDED Because specifications for Conservation Practice C-1, Harvesting Legume and Grass Seeds in 1944, were drastically revised subsequent to the closing date, having a timely filed Farm Plan is requisite to participation in this part practice; according Stephen Griset Chairman of the Orange County AAA Committee. Seed producers who did timely file a Farm Plan, but are otherwise elegible, may fore apply for the benefit ment on harvesting alfalfa, or other specified legume grass seeds. Payment for any practices carried out by producers, however, must be bined since they did not Farm Plan on or before Jerry Griset pointed out. FARM LUMBER DEAL WILL GET TIGHTER The farm lumber situation is going to get tighter before it better, Stephen Griset, O AAA Chairman, advises. But this pessimistic view of the nation is information from State AAA Office that the quota for the next quarter may less than half the quota for current quarter. Griset said the local AAA Office is making every effort to handle its p assignment in connection with county farm lumber quota since Orange County farmers will sufficient lumber for all est needs. "The job that we're on this war assignment rightly Griset observed, 'is probably satisfactory to local folks that will be the next quarter who have less available to farmers' needs." In general, damage caused dwellings by fire, flood, to earthquake, storm or a similar tastrophe is considered justification for emergency ratings.

This bill would lower wages and working conditions. Don't be misled by a false slogan... protect the veterans' future.

KIMBALL, CHAIRMAN ANAHEIM GAZETTE timely filed Farm Plan is not a requisite to participation in bene-payment for this particular practice; according Stephen Griset, chairman of the Orange County AAA Committee. Seed producers who did not timely file a Farm Plan, but who are otherwise elegible, may there-are apply for the benefit pay-ment on harvesting alfalfa, ladino, other specified legume and grass seeds. Payment for any other practices carried out by these producers, however, must be de-ced since they did not file a Farm Plan on or before June 1, Griset pointed out. FARM LUMBER DEAL ILL GET TIGHTER The farm lumber situation is go-ing to get tighter before it gets better, Stephen Griset, County AAA Chairman, advises. Basis for its pessimistic view of the situ-tion is information from the state AAA Office that the farm quota for the next quarter may be less than half the quota for the current quarter. Griset said that the local AAA Office is making every effort to handle its priority assignment in connection with the county farm lumber quota so that Orange County farmers will have sufficient lumber for all essential needs. "The job that we're doing in this war assignment right now," Griset observed, "is probably more satisfactory to local folks than it will be the next quarter when we have less available to satisfy farmers' needs." In general, damage caused to wellings by fire, flood, tornado, earthquake, storm or a similar catastrophe is considered justifica-tion for emergency ratings when... Range County farmers will have sufficient lumber for all essential needs. "The job that we're doing in this war assignment right now," is likely observed, "is probably more satisfactory to local folks than it will be the next quarter when we have less available to satisfy farmers' needs." In general, damage caused to wellings by fire, flood, tornado, earthquake, storm or a similar catastrophe is considered justification for emergency ratings when the damage is of such nature as to make farm dwellings unfit for continued occupancy. Examples of such are: leaks in the roof, weakening of the framework, separation of lateral supports of the structure, broken joists or risers. Deterioration of lumber because wear and tear will not be considered an emergency need forember if the parts to be replaced will function without repair for at most another three months, Griset said. RAIN TUESDAY EVENING SLOWS SLIGHT DOWNFALL The rainfall last Tuesday evening was of slight consequence but was of sufficient quantity to impen the spirits of the Halve'en ghosts that were rampant at the start of the downfall. The rain lasted for several hours but was of such small quantity that it will be of no special benefit to the crops. NEW YORK and PENNSYLVANIA, with their big electoral votes, have swung decisively to Dewey during the final days of the campaign, it is now generally conceded. California, in all likelihood, will remain in the Roosevelt column, but even here the Roosevelt margin has dropped sharply, if betting odds are a criterion. There are several carefully-conducted polls, in fact, which show Dewey leading Roosevelt in California, but the anti-vote is always quicker to respond to polls than the pro-vote—and these surveys must be discounted accordingly. Nonetheless, California which went for Roosevelt by a majority of 500,000 four years ago is now claimed by the Democrats by only 300,000, with betters getting shaky even on that margin. The same polls, incidentally, show Lieutenant Governor Fred Houser running ahead of his ticket in his bid to unseat Sheridan Dewney as U. S. Senator. This promises to be an exceedingly close contest. Of the 12 ballot measures to be submitted to California voters next Tuesday, three are considered major issues. They are: Proposition 9, the Better Schools Act, which would increase State support of elementary schools and lighten the burden on local taxpayers. This measure, designed to cope with the grade school crisis, resulting from the States' rapid growth and an acute shortage of teachers, is considered fairly certain of voter approval. Proposition 11, the so-called "60-at-60" pension plan, which has been vigorously opposed by civic groups and taxpayers' organizations. This measure would add a billion dollars a year to California's tax load. Outcome, uncertain. Proposition 12, which its proponents call a "right to work" amendment, but which labor has denounced as an "anti-union" act. This amendment would prohibit "closed shops" and invalidate most employer-labor agreements now in effect. Outcome, still in doubt. Keep on BACKING the ATTACK with WAR BONDS (Pub.

A SOS to the citizens of this city for housing facilities for these men. They must have it because the need is real and genuine. The USO housing committee is under the charge of Mrs. M. P. Thaxton, who has spent several months of hard and pleasurable work in this great need. This is strictly volunteer work on her part and is a job that is taking most of her time, a service that is giving much joy to the service men and their families who are fortunate to be placed through the housing committee. Each of the applications is given one or more interviews to make sure that conditions regarding the individual are satisfactory. The committee assists girls in finding employment, aids hospitalization cases and other forms of service that mean a lot to a veteran of this war, as well as the ever important problem of housing. A complete registration record is kept of the applications and the placements. During the past month eighty applications were received, of from Los Alamitos base, twelve were from Los Alamitos, of this number forty-four were from El Toro and twenty-four, miscellaneous and local. Of this number the committee was fortunate in placing forty of the applicants, twenty-nine of which nine were officers and their families and twenty from the enlisted personnel; six were placed from the El Toro base and five from the miscellaneous list. The work is being carried on in fine shape but the need is growing daily for housing facilities, so if anyone has a vacant room, call Mrs. Thaxton at telephone 4009.
