A maximum amount of conservation for each dollar spent! The has been the objective of the county committees who have ministered the Agricultural Conservation Program in the most California counties during the previous year. But how much conservation is being bought for each dollar spent? First, it should be understood that conservation practices, when carried out by the government directly or by assistance to farmers, does cost money. The question is one of determining the method of obtaining the most conservation for the least cost. ACP financial assistance farmers, according to E. H. Spoorthman of the California Public Committee, represents only a small part of the total cost of the conservation. In the first place, farmer himself stands about half the cost of practices. Then the practices act as a stimulating factor that encourages farmers to carry out practices in addition to ones for which he receives assistance. It has been a program policy shift emphasis to new practice after original ones become established. In this way, the assistance to farmers several years ago continuing to return conservations even though assistance is not given under the current program.

FARMERS URGED TO REPORT CONSERVATION PRACTICES PROMPTLY Farmers who have completed conservation practices under the state agricultural conservation committee.E.H.Spoor chairperson of the California State PMA committee,points out that considerable delay in getting assistance payments to farmers can be avoided by more promptly reporting practices. He explained farmers that selves have a responsibility supplying the county committee with evidence that practices have been carried out.Every year there are a few farmers who fail to port on the practices complied and then after the deadline passed come in and want to know why payments haven’t been received They point out that they have completed the practices accordance with specifications that the assistance upon which they are depending to pay for services or for work done hasn’t come. Funds to assist farmers in trying out conservation practices are allocated on a yearly basis for that reason a “cut off” occurs has to be set. Then,too,Spain said,funds tied up to help farmer may be released to another where intended practices are not carried out by the farmer.

Retail sales and use tax collections in California on sales made during the second quarter of 1947 amounted to 65 million dollars and indicated a volume of taxable sales exceeding two and one-half billion dollars, according to William G. Bonelli, chairman of the State Board of Equalization.

Despite a continuing upward trend in evidence since the third quarter of 1944, there are signs that the rate of increase in taxable sales is declining, Bonelli said. The greatest increase over last year occurred in the sales of motor vehicle dealers, for which tax collections rose 77.8%. Sales of building materials and fixtures outlets were 43.2% higher than the second quarter of 1946 and 9.8% above the first quarter of 1947, Bonelli reported. Orange county's taxable sales during the quarter totaled $41,-282,120. DAHLIA SOCIETY TO HOLD MEETING FRIDAY EVE.

These support prices have determined because under the hog prices must be supported not less than 90 percent of past through the year 1948. However department officials do not expect that hog prices will decline to support level during the time varied by the present schedule. Average price of hogs at the present time is about $10 a hunter above the support level. WHO EATS THE MEAT? Consumer demand for a good supply of meat—and the price that meat—is determined largely by how much money people buy and who has it. This is the inclusion of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics of the Department of Agriculture. City people consume more per person than rural people have the same incomes. Nonfarm people consume less per farmers. Within each income category city families consume more and veal per person than nonfarm rural people City people also generally consume much more lamb than people who have the same income. WORLD COTTON SUPPLY SMALLER World supplies of cotton Government In Urgent Need Of More Stenogs Harry T. Kranz, regional director of the 12th U.S. Civil Service Region at San Francisco, announced that applications will be accepted until further notice from stenographers and typists who wish employment in federal agencies in California, Arizona and Nevada. There is an immediate need for a large number of eligibles to fill permanent appointments in these positions. These are permanent jobs. Entrance salaries for stenographers are $1954 a year and $2168 a year, with some appointments to be made at $2394 a year. Typist positions pay from $1756 a year through $2168 a year, with a few paying $2394 a year. There are no experience requirements, but a written test will be required.

This figure is made up of August 1 stocks of 17.5 million and prospective 1947-48 production of 25.7 million. The total supply last year was 45.6 million bales. World cotton production is considerably below the present rate of consumption, falling short in 1946-47 by more than 6 million bales. In 1947-48, world production is tentatively estimated at 25.7 million bales, compared with last year's 21.4 million bales. The U.S. accounts for 3.2 million of 60,000 Qualify For Army Service Since July 1 Roughly 60,000 men qualified for enlistment in the U.S. Army and Air Forces from July 1 to September 14, last, according to a War Department statistical report received this week by Master Sergeant Henry E. Loeffelhardt, local recruiting head. The report reveals that 86.45 of the enlistees sign up for three years. Under 10 percent select the two year enlistment, less than one percent choose the four year hitch, while almost four percent take the 'long ride' for five years. The report disclosed that veterans, who have the right to select their assignments, made choices overwhelmingly in favor of duty in the Far Eastern (Japan and Korea) and European Theater. In numbers, 4567 veterans chose far eastern duty; 2565 wanted Europe; Alaska appealed to 473 and 602 signed up for Ground Force posts and Air bases in the United States.

PRACTICES IN ADDITION TO THE FOR which he receives assistance has been a program policy to emphasis to new practices original ones become established. In this way, the assistance farmers several years ago is due to return conservation funds even though assistance is given under the current farm laws, the dollar spent by the government for conservation under Agricultural Conservation Program returning manyfold in conformation accomplished. MERS URGED TO REPORT RESERVATION PRACTICES IMPPLY Farmers who have completedervation practices under the farm program should report their practices promptly to the county agricultural conservation committee. E. H. Spoor, chairman of California State PMA committee, points out that consider-delay in getting assistance grants to farmers can be avoid or more promptly reporting of prices. The explained farmers themself have a responsibility in paying the county committee evidence that practices have carried out. Every year there are few farmers who fail to reason the practices completed when after the deadline is come in and want to know payments haven't been received. They point out that they completed the practices in advance with specifications and the assistance upon which are depending to pay for seed work done hasn't come in. Thanks to assist farmers in carriage out conservation practices located on a yearly basis and that reason a "cut off" date to be set. Then, too, Spoor funds tied up to help one farmer may be released to help where intended practices not carried out by the first farmer. IF YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE RESERVATION PRACTICES ON YOUR LET THE COUNTY COMMITTEE RIGHT AWAY. PORT PRICES FOR THIS SET The support level for hog prices announced by the U. S. Department of Agriculture recently. The six months from September 15 to March 15, the price will be on the basis of Chicago from $1 a hundred for the first nine months to $14.50 for the last nine months up of August 1 stocks of 17.5 million and prospective 1947-48 production of 25.7 million. The total supply last year was 45.6 million bales. World cotton production is considerably below the present rate of consumption, falling short in 1946-47 by more than 6 million bales. In 1947-48, world production is tentatively estimated at 25.7 million bales, compared with last year's 21.4 million bales. The U. S. accounts for 3.2 million of the total increase, China for 200,000, and the Soviet Union for 150,000. 1948 FARM PROGRAM SHAPING UP The 1948 Agricultural Conservation Program, now being formulated, will shift more responsibility to county and community committees and to individual farmers for assuring the most soil and water conservation with available funds. "Naturally, with less assistance from the federal government we can expect less conservation, but every effort should be made to get the most conservation possible for the funds we do have," says Roy L. Hale, chairman of the Orange County Agricultural Conservation committee. Under the 1948 program, farmers will have more leeway in adapting program practices to local needs. The provision for a local practice not included in the national outline will be continued this year. Last year funds for this practice were limited to 10 percent of the county allocation. There are now no such limits. This year the county committee may also select a practice from the national outline but which is not in the state handbook. This will mean two local practices instead of one. Small farmers will be favored under the 1948 program, for although conservation funds have been cut in half, payments to individual farmers are limited to $500. This means less of the county allocation will be going to large operators, and the available funds will therefore be available to assist small operators. Farmers should begin now to lay plans for carrying out conservation practices under the 1948 program. In general, assistance through the program will continue to be about 50 percent of the cost of the practice. Farmers are asked to talk their plans over with members of the county committee or PORT PRICES FOR S SET The support level for hog prices announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture recently. The six months from September 15 to March 15, the price will be on the basis of Chicago from $1 a hundred for the first week in October to $14.50 for the next weeks in December. These support prices have been determined because under the law, prices must be supported at less than 90 percent of parity through the year 1948. However, treatment officials do not expect hog prices will decline to the current level during the time coveted by the present schedule. The large price of hogs at the pres-sure is about $10 a hundred due to the support level. EATS THE MEAT? Consumer demand for a given variety of meat—and the price of meat—is determined largely by how much money people have who has it. This is the con- tion of the Bureau of Agricul-ture Economics of the Depart- ment of Agriculture. Rural farm people consume more meat than rural people who live in the same incomes. Rural farm people consume less than farmers. Within each income class, families consume more beef, veal per person than either farmers or nonfarm rural people. People also generally consume much more lamb than rural people who have the same income. OLD COTTON SUPPLY MILLER World supplies of cotton for $500. This means less of the county allocation will be going to large operators, and the available funds will therefore be available to assist small operators. Farmers should begin now to lay plans for carrying out conservation practices under the 1948 program. In general, assistance through the program will continue to be about 50 percent of the cost of the practice. Farmers are asked to talk their plans over with members of the county committee or see community committeemen.
