Board Gives Domestic and Farm Users Priority in Santa Ana River Water (Western News Service) The State Water Resources Board was on record today as approving the water in the Santa Ana stream system for use in domestic and irrigation prior to any other use. The board, which met here recently, adopted a resolution to that effect, which follows: WHEREAS, it appears there is a substantial overdraft on the water supply of the coastal plain in Orange county, which overdraft is constantly increasing, and WHEREAS, the Santa Ana River stream system is the principal source of water supply for the coastal plain in Orange county, and WHEREAS, it is therefore necessary that waste of water in the Santa Ana River stream system be held to a minimum, and WHEREAS, it appears a substantial amount of water of said stream system is susceptible of salvage for domestic and irrigation purposes by reduction of evapo-transportation losses in the reservoir area above Prado Dam, and WHEREAS, it is the settled law of this state that domestic use is the highest use of water and irrigation is the next highest use thereof: NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the State Water Resources Board that in view of the overdraft which already exists on the coastal plain in Orange county, in any further development of water in the Santa Ana River stream system, priority should be given to uses for domestic and irrigation purposes. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to the Chief of the Corps of Army Engineers, The U. S. District Engineer, the regional Director of the Bureau of Reclamation, the Orange county flood control District, the Orange county water District, and the Santa Ana River Development Company. P. M. A. and the Farmer ANDERSON RECOMMENDS PRICE SUPPORT CHANGES Authority for the Secretary of Agriculture to support the prices of agricultural commodities generally through loans, purchases, payments, and other operations was among the recommendations recently made to the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry by Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson. The secretary's testimony on a proposed long-range farm program including these other points also suggested that mandatory price-support activities be made mandatory only for non-perishable commodities for which the law provides mechanisms for keeping supplies in line with demands, that no supports be available when farmers vote down committeemen are concentrated their efforts on the most serious problems. Increased effort is being made to determine the urgent needs in the county community and centering attention on these. CONSERVATION AND IRRIGATION WATER SUPPLY "Too much irrigation will now too often means too little later on in the year," says L. Hall, Chairman of the Orang County Agricultural Conservation Committee. Too often the feast famine water situation, he pooled, comes from a lack of need conservation practices on water sheds of streams which supra irrigation water. Most farms in one way or another fit into the conserva pattern which affects other farmland states. The condition of range land in the footfall often has a lot to do with supply of irrigation water on valley farms. In the same way way water is handled on up valley farms has a lot to do with the supply of water lower in valley. Experts Find Non-Cultivation Deepens Soil After completing a study cetering 529 acres of citrus in groves which have been un-nicultivation for the past years, R. E. Puffer of the Orang county Agricultural Extension service and Wallace Sullivan, specialist in farm management of University of California arrive at conclusions not differing much from earlier studies. The system costs more for first two or three years than standard of cultivating to keep NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the State Water Resources Board that in view of the overdraft which already exists on the coastal plain in Orange county, in any further development of water in the Santa Ana River stream system, priority should be given to uses for domestic and irrigation purposes. LAURETTA DRESS SHOPPE WHEN THE SUMMER SUN SHINES Bare with it Dear Dadara Juniors PLAN MECHANICAL CONSERVATION PRACTICES NOW It's not too early to begin planning terraces, dams, drainage ditches and similar mechanical conservation practices which can be carried out when the crops are harvested, says Roy L. Hall, Chairman of the Orange County Agricultural Conservation Committee. In the last few years, much of this work has been done by contractors with heavy dirt-moving machinery. Delay in planning and in making arrangements, the chairman explains, may result in not getting the work done, another year is lost, and the land the conservation work would have saved is lost too. "Everywhere are evidences of erosion and soil depletion which have resulted from letting little conservation jobs slip by." The secretary's testimony on a proposed long-range farm program including these other points also suggested that mandatory price-support activities be made mandatory only for non-perishable commodities for which the law provides mechanisms for keeping supplies in line with demands, that no supports be available when farmers vote down quotas in a referendum, and that the secretary should be authorized to provide price supports for any commodity at whatever level might be deemed desirable in cases where, in the public interest, it became necessary to obtain increased production. With respect to the price-support level for mandatory commodities, Secretary Anderson's suggestions were as follows: 1. That mandatory supports be provided at not less than 60 per cent of parity, but that the secretary be permitted to set supports for the basic commodities at a level up to 90 per cent of parity. 2. That price supports to cooperators be no less than 75 per cent of parity in those years when marketing quotas were actually in effect. In line with previous recommendations to the Congress, the secretary again recommended that the "parity" formula should be modernized, to reflect recent historical price relationship among commodities and to include the cost of "hired" labor in calculating the parity index.

"Everywhere are evidences of erosion and soil depletion which have resulted from letting little conservation jobs slip by." Mr. Hall says that the growing season provides a good opportunity to study the land and determine where conservation work is needed. Plans for terraces should be carefully checked so that they will be most effective in saving water and soil. The same is true for other dirt-moving practices. He urges all farmers in Orange county to talk over summer and fall plans with county or community ACP committeemen. This will avoid delay in getting work started and farmers will be assured of program requirements. CONSERVATION NEEDS STUDY AIDS ACP What is the most serious erosion or other soil problem in the county? In the community? On your own farm? The answer to that should be the guide to the conservation practices which should be carried out under the 1948 Agricultural Conservation Program. This was the keynote of a series of meetings held in various parts of the United States to study conservation needs and program application to those needs. According to E. H. Spoor, chairman of the California PMA Committee, the conservation trend is swinging rapidly to a concentration on the most serious problems in each county, community, and farm. County and community ACP FROM FIELD & ORCHARD The relationship of canned lemon products and fresh lemons will be studied by a committee appointed by President C. C. Teague of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. H. A. Schuyler and Laurence Gardner will represent the Exchange Lemon Products company; the Exchange will be represented by Glen Shepherd and B. E. Wohlford; the chairman is L. W. Fowler of the Exchange board and Teague and Joy Jameson will serve in ex-officio positions. The terminal unloading charge at the Chicago citrus auction will on June 1 be increased from 3 cents to 5 cents. It is said this is not a charge against the shipper but against the buyer. It is also said that Texas and Florida have paid 5 cents a box for many years. California escaped, it was said, because it was in the market the year round. Officials on the auction explained the boost in the rate on California fruit upon the extra tier load. Under the new contract between the United States and Mexico, Mexican nationals who will be depended upon to harvest a great deal of southern California's orange crop this summer, may be recruited only at Tampico, 200 miles south of Bownsville, Texas, and Agua Calientes, 200 miles north of Mexico City. It was declared there were 10,000 unemployed Mexicans in Lower California but they will not be available for the farm labor program in this country. It will cost $100 to $120 to bring each national into the U.S. and he must be guaranteed 75 per cent employment from the time the butter or margarine and beginning at the wide end into crescents on a greasing sheet.

BANK OF AMERICA UPS DIVIDEND Directors of Bank of America have declared a regular semi-annual dividend of $1.25 per share on the bank's common stock, payable June 30 to shareholders of record as of May 29, 1948. This represents an increase at the rate of 50 cents per year, placing the stock on a regular $2.50 annual dividend basis compared with the $2.00 previously prevailing. At the end of last year a regular semi-annual dividend of $1.00 plus a special dividend of 25 cents per share was paid.

Only about 60 per cent of this amount was expected to move in interstate commerce. The Valencias remaining this week in Tulare county averaged 216 to the box.
