LABOR AVAILABLE. 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

containing more 18,750,000

“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.
GAS TAX FUND
CONTINUES RISE
SACRAMENTO, Aug. 13—California gasoline taxes for the half year
ending June 30, are $26,386,513 a
gain of $2,184,450 over the same
period for 1944. This represents an

‘California use fuel taxes assessed
against diesel operated trucks and
buses continue the same trend of increased revenue as.the gasoline tax.

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
