Hutson believes we can find a market for most farm products even though we continue to produce one-fourth more than before the war, if we keep food consumption in this country at its high wartime levels and export more farm products than we did before the war. Otherwise, a comprehensive system of production and marketing controls will be needed. In order to main high consumption in this country, the undersecretary says these conditions and steps are necessary: (1) generally full employment with liberal unemployment compensation for people without jobs; (2) an expanding school lunch program which enlarges the farm market and promotes better nutrition; (3) food made available to low-income people at below-market prices. On the export side, we may have to sell some products in world markets at prices lower than those on the domestic market, he advises, and points out that the larger crop yields of recent years have been due to conservation measures and better varieties of seed, as well as to favorable weather. ditches for the last three years. The growth of the young orchard is remarkable. The young trees measure 18 to 23 inches in circumference a foot from the ground. The orchard bore some fruit the third year and had a fair crop in 1945, the seventh year. The success of trashy cultivation on orchard encouraged Ramer to start using it on the bean and vegetable land. He uses a rotation of beans, tomatoes, and cabbage, with over half the plantings each year to beans. Trashy cultivation has increased yields and saved labor. The yield of small white beans from 1925 to 1930 was 21 sacks per acre; from 1938 to 1943 the yield was 26 sacks per acre. Cost of operation and tractor time is almost half what it was for clean cultivation. Irrigation water is also saved. Before Ramer built up his soil with humus, he used four-acre inches per irrigation that needed to be carried 600 feet in the rows before the spread was sufficient to irrigate properly. Now he uses only two-acre inches and 200 foot runs to get the necessary spread. Ramer believes he should leave his farm in good condition for future generations, and cooperates closely with his local agricultural conservation association. At one time he was chairman of the Santa Cruz county agricultural conservation committee. He is not only interested in conservation farming on his own ranch, but also encourages his neighbors. ord of 123 billion pounds of Egg production next year gested at 85 per cent of production, because of reducitary and lend-lease requirements and the goal for chicken is 83 per cent of the raised in 1945. California goals for rural early potatoes, rye winter vegetables, flax the spring pig crop have been announced. Other goals for 1946 will be created in the light of national mentions and local conditions state meeting to be held monthly. Attending this meeting, representatives of the Department of agriculture which make up the state council, as well as relatives of the state agricultege, farm organizations and interested groups. Final state goals will be ready for use in setting goals soon after the first year, when the secretary culture has determined national goals on the basic commendations submitted by the states. MORE CONSERVATION IS ALSO 1945 GOAL One of the subjects to ered in "over the fence" sessions between AAA co men now being elected and their neighbors, is reservation. National farmation goals recommended by Secretary of Agriculture derson recognize the need storing a better balance soil-depleting and soil-crops.

(Jack) DRISKILL Color Harmony in Painting and Decorating PLACE FERTILIZER ORDERS EARLY "Buy fertilizer early this year," Stephen Griset, chairman of the Orange county agricultural conservation committee, today cautioned local farmers. The department of agriculture reports that raw materials for fertilizers are expected to be slightly more during the 1944-45 season. However, to avoid production and delivery congestions, as well as the possibility of running short at planting time, farmers are urged to place orders early and store supplies on farms. NO INCREASE IN DRY BEAN CEILINGS The present maximum prices for dry edible beans will be continued at least until June 30, 1946, OPA and the department of agriculture have announced. Short supplies and rumors that ceilings would be removed has caused speculation in dry bean transactions, especially in California and Idaho. New pricing provisions to make such speculative practices impossible are now being considered by OPA. Meanwhile, growers indicate that the 1945 dry bean crop will be 14,191,000 bags, uncleaned. This is about two million bags less than the 1944 crop. The current average California price for all varieties of dry beans is about $6.30 a hundredweight. The blackeye price in southern California is particularly favorable to growers. The national dry bean parity price Oct. 15 was $5.90 a hundredweight, average of all varieties. TRASHY CULTIVATION IMPROVES FARM LAND An outstanding example of what good farming can accomplish with farm conservation methods is the Stanley Ramer ranch, five miles north of Watsonville in Santa Cruz county, Calif. In 1936, when Ramer started using trashy cultivation, his soil was light and low in humus because of years of clean cultivation. An old hillside orchard had which enlarges the farm market and promotes better nutrition; (3) food made available to low-income people at below-market prices.

SPOT FARM NEWS: The production and marketing administration has recently distributed 13,552 cases of canned green beans to schools participating in the school lunch program in the western region. The supplies were shipped here from other areas. California school lunch sponsors are encouraged to use plenty of cabbage, potatoes, and heavy tom turkeys this month. These supplies are relatively abundant over most of northern California this season. On Nov. 1, over 10 million people were working on farms—60,000 more than a year ago and the largest for that date since 1942. Hired farm workers were estimated at over two million—47,000 more than a year ago, and farm operators and family members at over eight million. The Cuban sugar situation looks brighter. Prospects for 1946 production are improving with the crop now indicated at about 4.6 million tons Heavy plantings during the spring and fall of 1945, and probably during the spring of 1946, may produce a near-record 1947 crop. FARM GOALS STILL UP IN FIRST POST-WAR YEAR High farm production will continue in 1946, on the basis of national goals recommended recently by Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson. “This first postwar year,” commented Stephen Griset, chairman of the Orange county agricultural conservation association, “it will be more important than ever to examine requirements carefully and then produce according to the need. Much of the world still faces starvation. Thus a year of full production probably will be asked of U.S. farmers. Undoubted fore the spread was sufficient to irrigate properly.

FLAX SUPPORT PRICE SET FOR 1946 California flax growers sured a support price of $2 bushel, U. S. No. 1 grade Francisco and Los Angeles minals, on their 1946 price according to word just from state PMA headquarter Berkeley. “At a 16-bushel average production in California, Stephen Griset, chairman local AAA committee,” “this announced support $3.80 per bushel is highest last year's guaranteed California growers of $2 bushel plus the $5 per adive payment.” California’s 1946 flax recently increased to acres, indicating the greater production of wheat and its suitability to agricultural conditions. CERTIFICATION COMMITMENT Certification for subsistence and inventory management on canning vegetables is practically completed for son in ninety Californiaeries, three of which are in Orange county, the office of the production administration at reports. Canners can expect from the Commodity Crops corporation much earlier previous years. Payment subsidies on tomatoes, snails and green peas will be out of the regional PMA vegetable office in San Diego.

TRASHY CULTIVATION IMPROVES FARM LAND An outstanding example of what good farming can accomplish with farm conservation methods is the Stanley Ramer ranch. Five miles north of Watsonville in Santa Cruz county, Calif. In 1936, when Ramer started using trashy cultivation, his soil was light and low in humus because of years of clean cultivation. An old hillside orchard had been removed and the soil planted to bushberries. Water penetration was so poor that erosion became a problem. Ramer had concrete ditches built on the slopes to carry off the excess water. In 1938, Ramer cut out the bushberries and planted six acres of Santa Rosa plums and four acres of President plums on this 25-degree slope. The young orchard was planted on the contour, with rows 25 feet apart. After seven years of discing, the intervals between the tree rows are so nearly level that all discing can be done in third gear, except against the turn of the contour at the end of the rows. Ramer discs the cover crop for the first time each year as soon as the ground is in condition, about the end of March or first April. He uses a disc with blades set straight and spaced seven inches apart, so the cover crop is not turned under, but disturbed enough so that growth stops and moisture loss is arrested. If there should be a late heavy rain, the mulch on top of the ground keeps all the soil in place and prevents erosion. Later in the summer, before the first irrigation, Ramer discs the trashy mulch into the top soil. Erosion on the orchard has completely stopped; in fact, there has been no water run-off in the concrete national goals recommended recently by Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson. “This first postwar year,” commented Stephen Griset, chairman of the Orange county agricultural conservation association, “it will be more important than ever to examine requirements carefully and then produce according to the need. Much of the world still faces starvation. Thus a year of full production probably will be asked of U.S. farmers. Undoubtedly, however, shifts toward peacetime production will be recommended for some crops, although wartime-size demands will continue for others.” The secretary of agriculture has suggested goals totaling over 356 million acres to provide the food and fiber crops needed both at home and abroad during this first postwar year. This recommended acreage is 5½ million above indicated plantings for 1945. The highest percentage increase suggested in 1946 goal acreages is for sugar beets—31 per cent over last year's. Goals for feed grains are all at or slightly above 1945 indications. Production of 120.5 million pounds of milk is the same as the 1945 goal, but slightly less than the all-time rec- CHROME PLATING We are now ready to do all kinds of electro plating and metal polishing.

Egg production next year is suggested at 85 per cent of 1945 production, because of reduced military and lend-lease requirements, and the goal for chickens raised is 83 per cent of the number raised in 1945. California goals for next year on early potatoes, rye, wheat, winter vegetables, flaxseed and the spring pig crop have already been announced. Other state goals for 1946 will be considered in the light of national requirements and local conditions at a state meeting to be held later this month. Attending this meeting will be representatives of the U. S. department of agriculture agencies which make up the state USDA council, as well as representatives of the state agricultural college, farm organizations and other interested groups. Final state goals will probably be ready for use in setting county goals soon after the first of next year, when the secretary of agriculture has determined final national goals on the basis of recommendations submitted by all the states. MORE CONSERVATION IS ALSO 1945 GOAL One of the subjects to be covered in "over the fence" discussions between AAA committees now being elected for 1946 and their neighbors, is more conservation. National farm production goals recommended recently by Secretary of Agriculture Anderson recognize the need for restoring a better balance between soil-depleting and soil-conserving crops. During wartime we paid some attention to the conservation work we started in this county back in 1936 but most of our tables in California, have been protected under the 1945 processing vegetable program through the assurance that only those canners who paid minimum grower support prices or better would be certified for the subsidy or for inventory protection. Processors of tomatoes, snap beans and green peas, certified by both county and state AAA committees, are eligible for subsidy payment from the Commodity Credit Corporation. Canners of asparagus, spinach, pumpkin, carrots, beets, similarly certified, are protected against accumulating excess inventory. Certification also enabled processors to obtain sufficient supplies of the above mentioned vegetables for full capacity operation to meet war and post-war needs. SPOT FARM NEWS: Postwar planning of dairy producers must take into account five important "facts" concerning their industry, according to Secretary of Agriculture Anderson, who operates a New Mexico dairy farm. They are: (1) milk production has expanded from 105 billion pounds in 1941 to 123 billion pounds in 1945; (2) consumers in 1946 are expected to possess the biggest peacetime purchasing power they ever had; (3) the war stimulated greatly increased production of evaporated milk, dry whole milk, and cheese so bigger domestic markets are needed for these products; (4) both dairy subsidies and price ceilings will be removed sometime in the future, and the industry will face price adjustments; (5) need for increased efficiency in dairy operations. Since all fresh citrus fruits—oranges, grapefruit, lemons, and tangerines—are in plentiful supply and have been selling below ber were larger than total deliveries during August. On a commodity basis, grain products were the largest single item in foreign shipments followed by dairy and poultry products. ORCHARDS IMPROVED WITH SEEDED LEGUMES W. D. Warmerdam has a 40-acre farm near Hanford, Calif., devoted almost entirely to production of peaches, apricots and a few plums. For the past five years, Warmerdam has been planting green manure crops of vetch and melilous indica, and has produced some of the outsanding cover crops in Kings county. Seeds are planted about Oct. 1, after the land has been pre-irrigated. Rains usually give enough moisture to develop the crop to the stage where it is turned under anywhere from April 15 to May 1. If rain is not sufficient the crop is irrigated by pump. The ranch has one orchard of Muir peaches planted in 1918. Ordinarily peach orchards this old in the area, either have been taken out or have ceased to be economical producers. This orchard has an excellent crop and the trees are in fine condition. Warmerdam credits this to use of green manure crops and good farming practices. As an experiment, Warmerdam tried planting vetch in a young orchard March 1, 1945. This resulted in an excellent green manure crop, which was turned under about June 1. After noticing the value of this practice, other farmers in the immediate vicinity are planning to do the same thing next year. Airline distances between cities in most cases are approximately 20 per cent less than either the highway or rail routes. During wartime we paid some attention to the conservation work we started in this county back in 1936, but most of our efforts went to produce the farm commodities so urgently needed to help win the war," Stephen Griset, local AAA chairman states. "Now we have to catch up with what we've lost in the last few years. That's why the 1946 agricultural conservation program in this county will be aimed at getting more conservation for each dollar spent." FLAX SUPPORT PRICE SET FOR 1946 California flax growers are assured a support price of $3.80 per bushel, U. S. No. 1 grade at San Francisco and Los Angeles terminals, on their 1946 production, according to word just received from state PMA headquarters in Berkeley. "At a 16-bushel average per acre production in California," Stephen Griset, chairman of the local AAA committee, explains, "this announced support level of $3.80 per bushel is higher than last year's guaranteed price to California growers of $3.20 per bushel plus the $5 per acre incentive payment." California's 1946 flax goal was recently increased to 130,000 acres, indicating the need for greater production of this crop, and its suitability to California agricultural conditions. CERTIFICATION COMPLETED Certification for subsidy payments and inventory guarantee on canning vegetables has been practically completed for this season in ninety California canneries, three of which are located in Orange county, the state office of the production and marketing administration at Berkeley reports. Canners can expect payment from the Commodity Credit Corporation much earlier than in previous years. Payment of 1945 subsidies on tomatoes, snap beans and green peas will be handled out of the regional PMA fruit and vegetable office in San Francisco.
