TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California One dominate factor, more than any other, bulwarked and sustained California agriculture during the difficult farm depression years—and kept California farmers in the market, buying the products of industry. That was the strength and well-knit organization of California farm cooperatives, which kept money rolling into California from the markets both of this country and of the world by means of their efficient distribution and selling of the farm products of this state. When supply far outstripped the demand, California farm co-ops developed new ways to use the products they had to sell and found new ways to make the public want and buy them. And as bad as times were, that meant far more money into California, to be spent in California, than would have been the case had the same products been sold in a depressed, surfeited market for whatever the purchase. turns over and over in the course of business. That was what kept California out of the lowest depths of the depression—and, to a large extent, kept the whole state from being as hard hit as other farm states where the cooperative movement was not up to California standards. And California farm co-ops, in all likelihood, will have the same vital role to play in helping this state to weather the post-war readjustment period. Farm Income Tax Meetings to be Held Friday, January 5 Important changes in the 1944 farm income tax returns and forms will be explained at two meetings next week, arranged by the Agricultural Extension Service in cooperation with the Bureau of Internal Revenue. At the request of many farmers and orchardists in the county, Farm Advisor H. E. Wahlberg has scheduled the two meetings for Friday, January 5th. The first meeting will be held for the convenience of farmers south of the Santa Ana River at the Farm Bureau Hall, 353 S. Main St., (101 Highway), Orange, Friday morning at 10:00 A.M. The second meeting will be held at Fullerton in the afternoon for Housewives Want To Destroy Mold Jars of Fruit If only a little mold is on the fruit should be boiled before use. Owing to acidity, fruits will not support the growth of the bacteria. When molds, and times yeasts, grow on fruit ever, they partially neutralize acid and break down the acid and carbohydrates in such that botulinus can grow fruit and produce toxin, wiping poisonous. The processes used fruit are adequate only to spoilage microorganisms of fruit, and are not sufficient spores of botulinus and other resistant bacteria, says Miner Jam or Jelly with a mold may be used safely, the high-solids content pumps the growth of clostridium linum even if the mold has neutralized a little of the acid on jam usually grows quickly and seldom affects most the surface layer. Fig jam ever, which shows any apples growth of mold should be before use, she warned. Former Resident Of Anaheim Pass Edward Clint Woodin former resident of Anaheim passed away at his home inington Beach on Monday, He had lived there for eight years since leaving He was born in Waco, Texas years ago. Surviving are his widow When supply far outstripped the demand, California farm co-ops developed new ways to use the products they had to sell and found new ways to make the public want and buy them. And as bad as times were, that meant far more money into California, to be spent in California, than would have been the case had the same products been sold in a depressed, surfeited market for whatever the purchase might care to pay. This augmented purchasing power was reflected in more business for the town and city merchant, doctor, lawyer and business man of every kind, so that every section of California and people in every walk of life were benefited. It is well to recall this major contribution of the farm cooperative associations at this particular time, for in the Eastern and Middle Western States there has been a recent outbreak of propaganda to the effect that farmers' cooperatives are not paying taxes which their competitors pay. The charges are wholly untrue, but so that the public should not be misled the true facts should be made known. These are the facts: Farmers' cooperatives DO pay taxes—the same as any other person or corporation. They pay taxes on the property they own, on their buildings and equipment, on the supplies on hand when tax day rolls around, just as every other taxpayer pays. Does anyone think that farm coops escape paying corporation franchise taxes? If anyone has any such idea, he is mistaken—for farmers' cooperatives pay this tax, too, just like any corporate organization. Does anyone think that farm cooperatives do not pay income taxes when they make a profit? If anyone does, he is wrong again—for if the farm co-op makes a profit, it pays an income tax to both Federal and State governments, just as any other business pays. The farm cooperatives, to be sure, does not usually make a profit, since it is designed to operate on a non-profit basis. But the farmer, who makes the profit because his farm co-op returned him a better price, does pay an income tax. For example, a farmer might sell his products in the Eastern market through a private agency which returned him $100 for the product he shipped and the agency ice in cooperation with the Bureau of Internal Revenue. At the request of many farmers and orchardists in the county, Farm Advisor H. E. Wahlberg has scheduled the two meetings for Friday, January 5th. The first meeting will be held for the convenience of farmers south of the Santa Ana River at the Farm Bureau Hall, 353 S. Main St., (101 Highway), Orange, Friday morning at 10:00 A.M. The second meeting will be held at Fullerton in the afternoon for farmers north of the river. It will be held at 2:00 P.M. in the Fullerton City Hall auditorium—corner of Commonwealth Ave., and Highland St. R. L. Hillman and L. H. Ferguson, Deputy Collectors for the Bureau of Internal Revenue, Santa Ana, will assist the Farm Advisor in the meetings and answer questions concerning the new returns. All growers and others interested are invited to attend. Balance Herds With Feed Supply, Dairymen Told Orange county dairymen are urged to grow an abundance of high quality roughage and to balance their herds with feed supply, according to W. M. Cory, Assistant Farm Advisor of the Agricultural Extension Service. "Feed represents half or more than half of the total cost of producing milk and butterfat," said Cory. "The development of a good high-quality feed supply and the liberal use of that feed in line with needs of the cows in the herd will go a long way toward increasing the efficiency of production. "Roughage, including pasture, hay, and silage, is the cow's natural feed and makes up the larger portion of the ration for dairy cows. It usually provides at least two thirds of the total nutrients required, even in cases where liberal grain feeding is practiced." "The feed situation is better than it was a year ago. Many dairymen are feeding concentrates to their cows to maintain as high production as possible. "The size of the herd should be adjusted to conform with the program for the production of roughage for the coming year. If there is not enough feed available to feed all cows liberally through the winter season, it would be better to cull some of the low producing cows now and before use, she warned." The farm cooperatives, to be sure, does not usually make a profit, since it is designed to operate on a non-profit basis. But the farmer, who makes the profit because his farm co-op returned him a better price, does pay an income tax. For example, a farmer might sell his products in the Eastern market through a private agency which returned him $100 for the product he shipped, and the agency might make a $10 profit which it pocketed. On this $10, it would pay an income tax. In another case, a farmer might sell through his cooperative association. If the association instead of keeping $10 for profit, returned it to the farmer along with the $100, the association would not make any profit, but the farmer who did make the extra $10 profit would pay an income tax on it. The tax would be paid just the same—by the man or the agency making the profit. And that is as it should be. If the private agency which made the $10 profit from the sale of the farmer's products decided at the end of the year it wanted to be generous and return it to the farmer, then the private agency would not pay the tax on the profit, but the farmer would. So the tax is not avoided; it is simply a question of who made the profit on which the tax is paid. The people of California, cooperative member and non-cooperative member alike, if they have the welfare of their state and the farming industry at heart, should be interested in having the extra $10 returned to the farmer here where it will be spent here, not once but many times, enriching the state and its people as it "The feed situation is better than it was a year ago. Many dairymen are feeding concentrates to their cows to maintain as high production as possible. "The size of the herd should be adjusted to conform with the program for the production of roughage for the coming year. If there is not enough feed available to feed all cows liberally through the winter season, it would be better to cull some of the low producing cows now and give the available feed to the better cows that can make more efficient use of it. Such practices will not only increase the milk production per cow, but will also increase the total milk and butterfat production of the entire herd." Dairymen may consult the farm advisor's office regarding their feed problems for 1945. Santa Fe’s Net Operating Income Up for November Santa Fe's net railway operating income for November was $7,-668,188, according to a statement released by President F. G. Gurley today. This is an increase of $410,982 compared with November, 1943. Gross for the system was $47,-904,121, a increase over November, 1943, of $6,151,995. Operating expenses were $27,-592,221, an increase of $5,042,304 over the same month of 1943. Railway tax accruals were $11,-572,938, a decrease of $92,831 under the same month last year. Railway tax accruals for eleven months ending November 30, 1944, include $127,374,566 Federal income and excess profits taxes compared with $107,823,762 in 1943. Housewives Warned To Destroy Moldy Jars of Fruit Any jar or can of fruit that shows appreciable mold growth on the surface should not be eaten, but should be destroyed, according to Frances Liles, Home Demonstration Agent of the Agricultural Extension Service. If only a little mold is present, the fruit should be thoroughly boiled before use. Owing to their acidity, fruits will not normally support the growth of the botulism bacteria. When molds, and sometimes yeasts, grow on fruit, however, they partially neutralize the acid and break down the proteins and carbohydrates in such a way that botulinus can grow in the fruit and produce toxin, which is poisonous. The processes used for fruit are adequate only to destroy spoilage microorganisms of sound fruit, and are not sufficient to kill spores of botulinus and other heat-resistant bacteria, says Miss Liles. Jam or Jelly with a surface mold may be used safely, because the high-solids content prevents the growth of clostridium botulinum even if the mold has neutralized a little of the acid. Mold on jam usually grows quite slowly and seldom affects more than the surface layer. Fig jam, however, which shows any appreciable growth of mold should be boiled before use, she warned. Former Resident Of Anaheim Passes Edward Clint Woodington, a former resident of Anaheim, passed away at his home in Huntington Beach on Monday, Dec. 25. He had lived there for the past eight years since leaving this city. He was born in Waco, Texas 61 years ago. Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Vet Sales Manager of Fruit Growers Exchange Retires; Successor Appointed The appointment of L. H. Wohlwend, orange sales manager of the California Fruit Grower's Exchange, to the post of general sales manager of the citrus cooperative, succeeding T. H. Powell, pioneer authority on citrus marketing, was announced last week by Paul S. Armstrong, Exchange general manager. Powell's retirement on January first, after forty-three years of service, comes under the provision of the Sunkist Provident Plan which affords automatic retirement at age 65. Wohlwend has been affiliated with the Exchange sales staff since 1914. He was appointed orange sales manager in 1935. R. B. Wallace will assume the post of Exchange orange and grapefruit sales manager and will be assisted by V. E. Duckworth, at present district Powell. Starting his career in 1907 in the Pittsburgh office of the Exchange, Powell's rise in the organization was rapid. In 1907 he was named general western sales agent over a territory extending from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Coast and from Winnipeg to New Orleans. In 1908 he was brought to California as lemon manager and Former Resident Of Anaheim Passes Edward Clint Woodington, a former resident of Anaheim, passed away at his home in Huntington Beach on Monday, Dec. 25. He had lived there for the past eight years since leaving this city. He was born in Waco, Texas 61 years ago. Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Ida A. Woodington; a daughter, Mrs. Gene Wilson of Vancouver, Washington, two sons, Ed and Frank Woodington of Huntington Beach, one brother, two half-brothers and two half-sisters. Funeral services were conducted by Smith's mortuary in Huntington Beach. DAUGHTER BORN Mr. and Mrs. Billy Wilson of 555½ South Resh Street, announce the birth of a daughter on Christmas Day, December 25, 1944, at St. Joseph hospital. The young lady weighed six pounds and one ounce. Everybody reads The Gazette. L. H. WOHLWEND provision of the Sunkist Provident Plan which affords automatic retirement at age 65.

Wallace will assume the post of Exchange orange and grapefruit sales manager and will be assisted by V. E. Duckworth, at present district sales manager in Memphis, and A. E. Lang of the Los Angeles sales office. Lemon sales will continue to be under the direction of F. W. Mayer, lemon sales manager, assisted by A. E. Rose. Export manager is W. A.' Robb. Intelligent cooperation has been the instrumental factor in the development of the California citrus industry in Powell's opinion. "I can remember when we were trying to sell oranges in 1902 for $1.50 per box delivered in the east and could find no buyers," Powell recalls. "The jobbing and retail trade had no confidence in our standards of quality and American consumers did not realize the health value of oranges and lemons" T. H. POWELL Powell. Starting his career in 1907 in the Pittsburgh office of the Exchange, Powell's rise in the organization was rapid. In 1907 he was named general western sales agent over a territory extending from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Coast and from Winnipeg to New Orleans. In 1908 he was brought to California as lemon manager and in 1931 was appointed general sales manager of the Exchange. When Powell joined the Exchange sales staff, total shipments of citrus from California were only 20 thousand cars during the year. In the season just closed, California citrus shipments totaled 133 thousand cars and California fruit enjoyed an enviable reputation for quality. Powell's retirement from the Exchange will not end his affiliation with the citrus industry. A grower of both oranges and lemons, he plans to devote his time in the future to the production of citrus. Read The Gazette, Anaheim's newspaper "bible" since 1870.
