IN SACRAMENTO George “.-Geary district supervisor of Farm Lalbor offices, was in. Placer County this week to get first! hand information on lalbor needs. In discussing farm labor problems, . Geary agreed with Ellsworth Martinelli,. local -manager, that eritical worker shortages on farms which are without suitable housing could be solved by day haul from the Sacramento pool. The: Newcastle ofifice will offer assistance to farmers in setting up day haul arrangements. Scores of workers are. available daily at the Agricultural Extension Labor office at 1107 2nd Street, Sacramento. These men are willing to work but still not leave Sacramento ‘because of lack of transportation. Many single men will not. take batching jobs,because of the difficult food situation, and Martinelli suzgests that wherever possible the workers be given board with the farm family. PROTECT STORED GRAIN Farmers who store grain on the farm can cut down the insect damage considerably iby following a few simiple rules. The’ attacks of insects on grain do not cease when the grain leaves the field, but continue until the grain leaves the farm or is consumed by livestock. Farmers must be continually on the alert to prevent serious infestations from developing. Insects attacking storea grain are easily identified with the aid of a circular published by the Agricultural Extension Service. ‘These pests are -described,and_ illustrated with photographs reproductions in the circular Stored Grain Pests on the Farm, Control of infestations is diseussed at considerable length, and various methods illustrated. The circular is available through the Agricultural Extension Service, 135 Court Street, Auburn. HIGHER DAIRY PRODUCTION Dairy farmers of California continuing to turn out a_ record milk supply. Thev delivered milk containing more 18,750,000 pounds of milkfat April of this year. This quantity was six per cent above the corresponding deliveries of the same month in 1944. Ample feed supplies and further expansion in numbers of milk cows
ALS than in : duction. . which “ontributed to increased milk. proThe continuation through April of the winter milk subsidy payment rates also encouraged dairymen to ‘feed tmore concentrates, resulted in continued high production per cow. Records for the first four months of 1945 show an increase over the same month for the previous .year ranging from six per cent to almost eight per cent. OUR LIVESTOCK TO EUROPE The first shipment of livestock under UNRRA agricultural rehabilitation program reached Greece July 15. It consisted of 3355 brown Swiss heifers, 357 light draft mares, and 12 bulls to rebuild dairy herds and the stocks of farm draft animals destroyed during the German occupation. During the next. 18 months, UN RRA plans to buy 25,000 bred heifers and utility cattle and 25,0090 work mares and mules. These shipments will go to Greece, Albania, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and Poland, in which five million dairy cattle and draft animals were lost during the war, more than one fifth of the pre war total. One half of the animals will be supplied by the United States.

WASHINGTON NOTES By Congressman Clair Engle RED BLUFF, Aug. 13 — THE RESTAURANT SITURATION— For more than a month. the restaurants of this district have been facing increasing hardship. There has been a steady cut in the points allowed by the OPA to the restaurant operators. Heretofore the restaurants have received more points per meal unit than received iby the thousewife. The OPA has taken the attitude that they should ‘be the same. The cuts have been made to bring the two into line. RESTAURANTS ANSWER OPA— The restaurants take the position thait they cannot possibly operate as efificiently as the housewife. There is more ‘waste according to their contention, and the housewife can work in more substitutes. In addition they claim thalt the ration and point free items which they can use as sulbstitutes call for the use of more fats in their preparation which in the long run makes them just as expensive on points as meat itself. Moreover, it is well known many families. supplement their points by eating meals in restaurants. RESTAURANTS CLOSING Restaurants throughout the district have been closing for the past six weeks. The first to close was the Shamrock in Nevada City. At that time I got_in touch with the OPA, and was advised that the situation should immediately adjust as the new allocations for the July-August period were coming out. Shortly after the first I telegraphed the Sahrolck to find out if the matter had cleared wp. The answer of the owner was a_ classic: “Still closed. Gone Fishing. Caught the limit. OPA still working.” DUNSMUIR, LINCOLN, DOWINIEVILLE—Shortly following the development at Nevada City the restaurants in Dunsmuir. Lincoln and Downieville reported the same trouible, and then upon my arrival from Washington I found all the restaurants in Auburn closed with a critical situation developing among the fruit growers who were trying to keep their crews. The operators in that entire area have been so close to the line on their points that most of them were in debt when the July first cut occurred. After they had paid their debt they were practically all broke, and decided to throw up their hands and quit until some form of relief was worked out. WHAT THE RESTAURANTS WANT—At a‘meeting in Auburn a three point program was agreed on: (1) That the restaurants should be given an outright grant of enough ample to operate in the future: (3) they should ‘be allowed enough points (a minimum of .94) to give them some assurance they will be amle to operate in the future; (3) they be allowed to apply for increased allotment immediately on an increase in business—at the present time there must be an increase of 20. per cent before such an application can: be filed. DISTRICT, REGIONAL AND THE WASHINGTON OPA—tThe foregoing program has been submitted to the district, regional and Washington office of the OPA.Both the district and regional office contend that they ‘cannot alter the situation, or grant the relief requested. The district office offered to grant an advance of points against the September allocation, but the operators refused as it is just postponing the evil day. The Washington office agreed to give immediate consideration to a grant of. points, inasmuch as such a grant. is ‘being made to the city (whichdjoes not have to be repaid) for the purpose of operating a sup kitchen to feed the workers in the fruit. The Washington office absolutely refused to grant additional points up to .94, contending that if they did so they would have to take just that much away from the housewife: They did however agree to consider and give a decision next week on granting additional ipoints. in tioned or not availa! tthey agreed to cut the requirement ficient. roe cee dho has recently traveled across the country can testify to the difference in the conditions in the restaurants on the coast those areas where rapoint freessubstitutes are ble.
