NEEDS ESTIMATES, PROGRAM CONFERENCE CALLED California will be host to a two-day conference on conservation needs and the Agricultural Conservation Program, to be held in Berkeley on March 11 and 12. Attending the conference will be representatives from Arizona Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah Nevada and California. E. H. Spoor, the California PMA chairman, says that the study of conservation needs is of increasing importance. Not only does it affect the allocation of funds between states, but, of greater importance, the needs estimates serve as a guide in program planning and administration. He explained that for the past three years county and community agricultural conservation committees have been conducting needs surveys to determine how much conservation is needed—for example, how many farms need terraces and how many, and the size of terraces that are needed on each farm. States also will be asked to have their recommendations on the 1949 Agricultural Conservation Program in Washington by May 1. At the conference state representatives will have a chance SENIOR EBELL BOOK SECTION TO MEET A 1 o'clock afternoon pot-luck luncheon is planned for next Monday by members of the Senior Ebell book section.

World rice production has risen to about 96 per cent of pre-war production. Supplies are about 2 million tons larger than last year. However, the world's breadbasket will not be full this year. More than that, there will be a much smaller reserve of grains in the world's pantries. The Office of Foreign Agricultural Relations says in its latest report: "Further increases in production of cereals, rice, fats and oils, sugar and feeds are likely, if favorable weather conditions continue and acreage intentions for 1948 are carried out. However, supplies of these products on a per capita basis, would still be below pre-war and would permit only a moderate relaxation of the present stringent levels of consumption in the deficit producing countries." PLENTY OF EGGS THIS YEAR Egg production in 1948 is expected to be ample for all normal requirements, including eggs for hatching, for domestic consumption, for military needs and for commercial exports. On February 1, potential layers on farms numbered 408 million; this compares with 413 million on farms on the same date in 1947. The prospective supply for domestic consumption is 380 to 385 eggs per capita, about the same as consumers used in 1947. This figure represents a high consumption, but any large surplus of eggs for 1948 seems unlikely because competing foods may be short. Government agencies hope to minimize the need for any active price-support program this year by stressing the seasonal abundance of eggs and thus keeping the current production moving in regular market channels to consumer ANAHEIM GAZETTE Roots of Culture YOUR BIRTHSTONE AND ITS MEANING FEBRUARY - THE AMETHYST WITHOUT TELESCOPES, ANCIENT EGYPTIANS MAPPED THE STARS ACCURATELY, DEDUCING HUMAN DESTINY FROM THE ZO DIACAL SIGNS, SYMBOLIZED LATER BY JEWELS - OUR BIRTHSTONES.

Copyright 1947 Jie State Freight Rates to Go Up 10% in 90 Days (Western News Service) California railroad freight rate is going up an additional 10 percent in less than 90 days as result of an interim order of California Public Utilities Commission. The latest interim increase matches the recent 10 percent term freight rate increase granted by the Interstate Commission for interstate traction. Thus far, the rail carriers of west and south have received California intrastate and in-state traffic—a total freight increase of 20 percent on an interim basis. They are seeking 31 percent increase. According to the decision, present interim increase, together with the previous 10 percent term increase, will add $11,550,000 to the California intrastate freight revenue of the major companies. The California commission pointed out that increase in revenue is "less than one-half the annual Californi wage increase amounting to $775,000."

GRAIN EXPORTS PUSH TOWARD 400-MILLION LEVEL Counting January shipments, the score stands at more than 373 million bushels of U. S. grain and grain products exported since the first of July. January exports amounted to almost 44.5 million bushels. Grain shipments for the same 7-month period a year earlier totaled nearly 249 million bushels. Grains exported include wheat, wheat flour, corn, corn grits and meal, barley, malt, oats, oatmeal, grain sorghums, rye and corn-starch. United States corn exports PMA AND THE—Galley 2 ... have almost dried up; while Canada has received small quantities, no corn shipments have gone to any "allocated" destination since September and these were carry-over from July and August allocations. LIVESTOCK ON FARMS CONTINUE DECLINE IN NUMBERS Livestock on farms and ranches declined during 1947 to the lowest numbers since 1939. Numbers have dropped four years in succession since reaching the all-time peak on January 1, 1944. Behind the decline are high prices for meat animals and for feed, plus reduced feed supplies in the last half of the year. These conditions encouraged marketing and closer culling of flocks and breeding herds, thus resulting in a heavy rate of slaughter in relation to inventory numbers. Decreased cattle numbers resulted from a record slaughter of cattle and calves and reduced imports of cattle from Mexico. Liquidation of sheep numbers continued during 1947, but the rate of decline was more moderate than in any year since 1942; the January 1 number of stock sheep for 1948 being the smallest since records began in 1867. Hog numbers were the lowest since 1941. Numbers of horses and mules declined sharply, continuing the downward trend which began in State Excess Cash Down From 1947 (Western News Service) The state of California was $123,639,848 poorer January 31 than on the same date a year ago, according to the cash excess report of Thomas H. Kuchel, state controller. Kuchel said the cost of government rose 55 percent during the first seven months of the fiscal year 1947-48, but that cash income had increased only eight percent. The state had $136,324,283 cash excess as of January 31, the report indicated, compared to $259,-964,131 on the same date in 1947. Bond holdings of the state also have dropped, the report pointed out. On January 1, 1947, the state had $229,044,000 in bond investments at par and on the same date this year, this sum had dropped to 124,120,000. The bond investment is counted as a part of the state's cash excess. Revenue received by the state for the seven-month period totaled $237,257,888, compared to $220,-476,952 for the same seven month period a year ago, Kuchel said, with the largest single revenue item, the state sales tax, jumping from $126,052,222 to $141,388,145. At the same time, there was a decrease in the liquor taxes and licenses from $14,243,326 to $11,-275,965. Vet Subsistence Pay to Increase The new increased subsistence allowances for eligible student-veterans will in most cases be automatic and veterans are requested not to call or write the Veterans Administration, L. C. Chapman, manager of Los Angeles Regional Office, said today. Chapman said all eligible veterans studying under the G.I. Bill, and disabled veterans studying under Public Law 16, will receive automatic increases to $75 or $105 in pay checks due on or about May 1st.

Hog numbers were the lowest since 1941. Numbers of horses and mules declined sharply, continuing the downward trend which began in 1915 for horses and in 1925 for mules. Chickens on farms numbered the fewest since 1941, and the turkey inventory showed the smallest number of record beginning in 1929. Notwithstanding the smaller numbers of every kind of livestock and poultry the farm value of the January 1, 1948, inventory hit a record high of 13,451 million dollars, 12 per cent above last year and 90 per cent above the 1937-46 average. Only for horses and mules were values per head lower than last year. USDA PLANS SHELLED WALNUT AND FILBERT PURCHASE PROGRAM The U. S. Department of Agriculture announced on February 25 that it will offer to purchase, on a bid basis, approximately 2,000,000 pounds of surplus shelled walnuts and approximately 450,000 pounds of surplus shelled filberts for use in the School Lunch Program. Purchases, if made, will be on the basis of U. S. No. 3 grade or better shelled walnuts and Oregon No. 1 grade shelled filberts of small size or larger. The area of purchase for walnuts will be California, Oregon, and Washington, and for filberts will be Oregon and Washington. When in need of job printing call the Anaheim Gazette. Phone 2206.

Rate Freight Rates to Go Up 10% in 90 Days (Western News Service) California railroad freight rates going up an additional 10 per cent in less than 90 days as the result of an interim order of the California Public Utilities Commission. The latest interim increase times the recent 10 percent increase freight rate increase grant by the Interstate Commerce Commission for interstate traffic. Thus far, the rail carriers of the and south have received—in California intrastate and interstate traffic—a total freight rate increase of 20 percent on an in-basis. They are seeking a percent increase. According to the decision, the current interim increase, together with the previous 10 percent increase, will add about 50,000 to the California intra-freight revenue of the six major companies. The California mission pointed out that the base in revenue is "less than half the annual California increase amounting to $25,-80." Sports Show Fishing Fair Ports on fishing conditions at nine spots were disclosed this week by Bob Williams, sporting store owner. The over-all fee is good although not extenal, he stated. If fishing has been fair, whole spot fin are being taken Doheny Park coastal waters they are all along country. Move to Lower Registration Fee Prospects for elimination of the additional $3 motor vehicle registration fee voted by the 1947 legislature appeared good, according to Assemblyman Sam Heisinger, Fresno, who said the assembly screening committee had approved the urgency clause in his bill to reduce the fee from $6 to $3. The bill, Heisinger said, later will be considered by the assembly revenue and taxation committee. The Fresno assemblyman said he had information that the additional $13,000,000 state revenue obtained through the $6 fee is unnecessary in the administration of the motor vehicle department, and that at the present time, 32 1-2 per cent of all state income derives from motor vehicle taxes in one form or another, while only 22½ per cent is expended on behalf of motor vehicles. "For instance," Heisinger said, "cotton men in the San Joaquin valley all have trailers on which the present registration fee is $6. The trailers are idle most of the year. Likewise, there are many residents of California who own trailers which they use only for a week or two during the summer. A $6 tax on these vehicles is an imposition, especially when the money is not needed for administration of motor vehicle laws."

CAR CATCHES FIRE; OWNER KEEPS COOL Considerable water and excitement broke loose as police and fire department members answered a call and found a car smoking in the parking lot in back of the Bank of America building Sunday night at 11 o'clock. Investigation showed Tommy Dean, evening entre-preneur at Al's Cafe, to be the owner. The plaza, which demolished the Model A's upholstery but left the motor undamaged, was caused by a lighted cigarette left by a passenger shortly before. Amazement smeared across local officials faces at the seeming calmness with which Dean took the news. "Let 'er burn!" he said above the roar of police and fire sirens.
