TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first of a series of three articles by Ralph H. Taylor, secretary of the Agricultural Council of California—legislative board of the state's major farm cooperatives—on the vital question: "Can Post-War America Survive and Prosper as a Free Trade Nation?" Mr. Taylor presents the viewpoint of a large section of California agriculture and the articles are particularly timely, as free trade advocates already are organizing to make a determined drive to abolish the nation's tariff system when the war ends. There is a swelling propaganda from zealous internationalists in the United States, who apparently believe they have found a magic short-cut to world peace and world security, that the sure way to global goodwill and prosperity in the post-war era is for this country to remove all tariff restrictions and throw open its gates to the trade of all nations. The vision of a bright, new world, in which all people barter out inviting economic chaos and disaster! That is a fundamental statement of fact which the American people, whether they live on farms or in towns or great industrial cities, will do well to keep in mind; for the moment this nation forces American labor to compete with coolie and peasant labor in other lands, American wage and living standards will crumble — and American buying power will evaporate. There is no escape from the logic of that conclusion and if America becomes a free trade nation under present conditions, instead of enriching the world, it will merely be condemned to a full partnership in world poverty. (NEXT: "THE SOUND WAY TO A SOUND WORLD ECONOMY!") Student Work Survey In Orange County Reveals Large Amount of Service Almost 6000 students in Orange county worked at jobs on the farm, in the packing houses, in war plants, and other miscellaneous activities during 1944 according to a survey recently completed by the county school superintendent's office for the information of the Farm Labor Office of the Agricultural Extension Service and other groups interested. The survey covered 25 schools in the county including the high schools, junior high and the 7th and 8th grades of the larger elementary schools, according to NEW BULLETIN DEADLINE WITH FEED PROBLEM.

The vision of a bright, new world, in which all people barter and exchange their goods freely, and in which peace and plenty go hand in hand, makes such an appealing picture that even some business men and industrialists have been carried away with the prospect. And it would be foolish, indeed, for American farmers, and others who think seriously about the welfare of the nation, to underestimate the power of the free trade movement, or its danger to the country. Political theorists, and propagandists for selfish or foreign interests, seldom use the word tariff without joining it with the word barrier—and have carried on a long and incessant campaign to convince people in urban areas that tariff regulations are injurious to trade, national well-being and international understanding. They have been very persuasive and have become adept at giving half-truths the semblance of truth and profound analysis, as was recently pointed out by Wheeler McMillen, capable editor of The Farm Journal, in an address at the Economic Leadership Conference in New York. Declared Editor McMillen: "The favorite half-truths of Internationalists is that 'we can't export unless we import.' The other half of the truth is that we cannot and will not import unless we maintain domestic prosperity at a rate high enough to give us the means to buy foreign goods and materials." "The United States stands as the supreme example among nations of a high standard of living. The American people out-produce every other people in the world. Having larger means they therefore constitute the most envied and desirable market in the world. Since they create for themselves an extraordinarily high percentage of the goods they desire, their high degree of purchasing power is a magnet which attracts competition." Mr. McMillen then exposed the fallacy of the free trade theory, carried to its natural conclusion, FORMS TO FE EXPLAIN Farmers of Orange County have two meetings this hear explanations of the come tax forms and direct filling out same. The two identical which have been arranging Agricultural Extension cooperation with the local Revenue office, will Friday, January 5. The meeting will start at at the Farm Bureau 353 S.

EGYPT PLANS HIGHW Egypt's postwar road to cost 15,000,000 pounds provisions for highways to main towns of the N. with North African point west as Casablanca, accepts reports received by the bile Club of Southern Ca 'Quick Decline' Of Orange Trees Is Under Study A comparatively new and distinctive type of orange tree decline is under intensive investigation by Professor H. S. Fawcett and colleagues of the Citrus Experiment Station on the River-side campus of the University of California, it was reported today by Farm Advisor H. E. Wahlberg. Called "quick decline" because of its sudden deterioration of trees American people out-produce every other people in the world. Having larger means they therefore constitute the most envied and desirable market in the world. Since they create for themselves an extraordinarily high percentage of the goods they desire, their high degree of purchasing power is a magnet which attracts competition." Mr. McMillen then exposed the fallacy of the free trade theory, carried to its natural conclusion, in the following words: "It may be fantastic but is nevertheless a useful illustration to assume for a moment that after the war nearly everything used by Americans might be produced more cheaply in some other country. "If our government were therefore to assume that it would benefit Americans by permitting them to buy all goods from the cheapest souces, the consequence would be disastrous. Obviously the result would be the prompt destruction of the purchasing power of Americans. "Since all goods would then come from abroad, NO MEANS OF EARNING AND ACQUIRING PURCHASING POWER WOULD REMAIN. The American people promptly would be plunged into poverty and want. And the once highly attractive American market would have disappeared." So long as there are hundreds of millions of people in other countries who work for a few cents a day, or a fraction of the wage scale of American workmen, and whose standard of living is in no way comparable with ours, this nation simply cannot permit its markets to be glutted with the products of such cheap labor with- A comparatively new and distinctive type of orange tree decline is under intensive investigation by Professor H. S. Fawcett and colleagues of the Citrus Experiment Station on the River-side campus of the University of California, it was reported today by Farm Advisor H. E. Wahlberg. Called "quick decline" because of its sudden deterioration of trees apparently in good health, it so far appears to be restricted to one moderately large locality, where it has affected trees on the sour orange rootstock. It has not been found in Orange county up to this time, says Wahlberg. Affected trees resemble those whose root systems have been badly injured by gophers or heater oil, and examination has shown that the immediate cause is the death of fibrous feeder roots. While the cause of the trouble is still unknown, the evidence now available strongly indicates that "quick decline" is not the tristeza dessease of Argentina and Brazil. It is hoped that experiments may soon reveal its nature and some progress has already been made in identifying affected trees before the outward symptoms appear. Since "quick decline" has not been found on trees on the sweet orange rootstock, it is recommended that replacements in affected localities should be made on that rootstock. ARMY PRINTING JOBS SPEEDILY PRODUCED In 20 days the field printing plant at Fort Douglas, Utah, produced 217 standard printing and reproduction jobs for Ninth Service Command installations. NEW BULLETIN DEALS WITH FEED PROBLEMS "A major problem of cattle producers is how best to utilize the natural vegetation," says W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor. Figures from a recent study given in a new bulletin show that 72 percent of California's 1942 beef production was derived from range forage, field cleanup, and the hay production that is an integral part of the range-cattle business," Cory said. "Beef cattle utilize and convert into human food the forage production from an estimated 40 million acres of range lands, amounting to 40 percent of the land area of the state. This bulletin shows the importance of continuous growth in beef cattle." Efficient meat production and efficient use of range feed involve supplemental feeds, and the new bulletin deals largely with this factor in livestock production. It is available to livestock-men at the farm advisor's office, 220 Ramona Building, Santa Ana. If you own a business in Anaheim you can't afford not to advertise in The Gazette. Stops Wind Erosion of Soil More wind strip-cropping is being urged in this State by the War Food Administration as an aid to soil protection and increased food production. Farmers may receive assistance in carrying out this important farming practice through the Agricultural Adjustment Agency, which administers the agricultural conservation program. Bare, dry soils are subject to blowing in areas where wind velocity is high. When the topsoil is carried away in this manner, productivity of those acres is lowered. It will continue to drop with each successive season, unless some protection is provided, WFA points out. Strip-cropping at right angles to prevailing winds, or in a continuous "S" so that winds cannot blow parallel to the rows of crops, is one means of helping to hold the soil, and at the same time maintain its nitrogen and moisture supply. Alternate strips, for example, of summer fallow and grain aid control by shortening the distance that loose soil can move and by providing some protection to the crop strips that need it. If the strips are laid out on the contour, water conservation becomes an added advantage that helps to prevent the soil from blowing. Legume strips return nitrogen to the soil as they are turned under. When fallow and wheat are in alternate strips, the wheat stubble after the harvest serves to protect the field while the fallowed land rests and renews its fertility in preparation for planting with the new crop of wheat. The old wheat strip will then go into fallow. Width of the strips depends on the danger and severity of blowing—the greater the danger the narrower the strips. Machinery will also influence the width of stripping, in order that the farmer may do his planting, harvesting, and "turning under" in the most economical manner. Stripping for wind protection has taken the place of alternate fields of fallow and crops in many localities, WFA reports, with great benefit to the farmer. When harvest of a crop leaves the soil exposed during the winter and spring, the land should be planted in alternate strips with a crop that provides protection during that period, rather than in large fields across which the soil can drift without interruption. The close-growing crops suitable for strip-cropping include most of the legumes, grasses, and small grains. NEW FARM INCOME TAX FORMS TO BE EXPLAINED Farmers of Orange county will have two meetings this week to hear explanations of the new income tax forms and directions for filling out same. The two identical meetings which have been arranged by the Agricultural Extension Service in cooperation with the local Internal Revenue office, will be held on Friday, January 5. The morning meeting will start at 10:00 a.m. at the Farm Bureau Hall, Bank of America Reaches New High In Business Cycle Bank of America's year end investments in securities amounted to $2,740,064,000, an increase of $644,632,000 over the previous year end, chiefly representing purchases of U.S. Government securities.

EGYPT PLANS HIGHWAYS Egypt's postwar road program to cost 15,000,000 pounds, includes provisions for highways to link the main towns of the Nile Delta with North African points as far west as Casablanca, according to reports received by the Automobile Club of Southern California. Bank of America Reaches New High In Business Cycle Bank of America's year end statement of condition shows capital funds at the new high mark og $219,322,000. This is an increase of $52,937,000 over a year ago. $41,161,530 of which was realized from the issuance on December 29, 1944, of 800,000 shares of new common stock. Deposits and resources were also established at new high levels. At December 30, 1944, deposits were $4,340,539,000, a gain of $842,386,-000 over a year ago. Total resources were $4,599,124,000, an advance of $901,212,000 during the year. Loans and discounts outstanding at the year end aggregated $894,-436,000, an increase of $83,776,- 000 over December 31, 1943. Investments in securities amounted to $2,740,064,000, an increase of $644,632,000 over the previous year end, chiefly representing purchases of U. S. Government securities. ALCOHOL VS. GASOLINE Alcohol has joined charcoal and corn cobs as a possible competitor to gasoline as a fuel; reports reaching the Automobile Club of Southern California indicate. More horsepower is developed by 190 proof alcohol in internal combustion engines than by gasoline, but disadvantages include the fact that the amount of alcohol used is so great that fuel pumps and tanks would have to be greatly increased in size.
