AD CAMPAIGN SELLS ‘SACRAMENTO, Feb. 18.—Farmers and ranchmen feeding lambs for market were saved from heavy financial losses in January as a result of the mid-winter lam'’b sale sponsorFood Chains according to a report received here by J. C. Harper, ° of Safeway Stores: The information was contained ina bulletin from P. O. Wilson, manager of the National Livestock Market Association, who expressed the gratification of all the sheep growers over results obtained in disposing of the large seasonal surplus of feeder lambs. A tremendous increase in» lamb consumption was shown by the preliminary reports from 37,000 food chain stores participating in the campaign which continues through the month of February. Some companies reported increases in sale from 50 to 300 per cent above normal. ed by the National Association of} They will be used during the Exposition, from February 18 to December 2, 1939, as exhibit buildings, but after the. exposition closes, will be integral parts of one of the world’s maior airports. The dredging fleet and plant assembled on the project, according to William P. Day, the exposition’s director of works, is believed to be the greatest assembly of the kind ever concentrated anywhere in the world. The physical work of reclaiming the island from the bottom of San Francisco bay has been atcomplished by the Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, following plans provided by the exposition’s department of works. Directing the army engineers’ work are Loeut. Col. J. A. Dorst, San Francisco district engineer; and his chief of operations, Capt. F. B. Butler. : The project of filling in this island, more than a mile leng* and over two-thirds of a wile wide, set up the initial challenge, of providing 20,000,000 cubie yards of materia, to construct 400 acres of land to : level of thirteen feet above mean low water. The secondary task was the ereation of a great rock seawall, three miles in length and totaling 220,000 tons of rock, to encircle the exposition island and serve asS.a Tre taining dike against sweeping tides in and out of the Golden Gate. A fleet of derrick barges and hustling tugs have nearly finished their task of completing the giant seawall that will encircle the site. They are now speeding up their project of depositing rock from the ;quarries of the north bay counties on the exposition shorewalls: NEVADA COUNTY GROWS BEST APPLES IN STATE Gounty Horticultural Commissioner L. G. Lageson displayed a_ fine sample of Nevada county wine sap apples Wednesday that were picked from the Loma iRca orchards last fell. James Penrose, local merchant placed 100 boxes of the apples on storage as a test, selling a portion of them at Christmas time and the rest are. being marketed now. The apples are firm, juicy and highly flavored. Mr. Lageson stated the loss was about one per cent to the box while in apples shipped from outside districts the loss is about 15 per cent or more. He contends Nevada county apples are superior to those grown in any of the apple districts of the Pacific slope, except in locations equal to’ that of this county. DOWNIEVILLE N. S. G. W.

We relieved the farmer and feria 235 y burden by enacting a sales tax. We returned the taxation of the utilities to the counties and that also lightened the tax burden. Then we split up the gas tax money, giving the counties a cent of the three cent tax, and the cities half a cent. Formerly there used to be a 40 cent county ‘levy for road taxes in most counties. “Now there is a proposal to turn all county roads over to the state. I California but in the middle western . + states, farmers went on a tax strike. realty owners of the school tax . I know of a road’ on which only two voters reside. It is twelve miles long but it gives access to one of the main state highways. That little road is blocked with snow. Do you think the . county suttervisor of that district iis going to open that 12-mile road with only two votes living there? No. The good roads go where the votes are.”’ The senator’s allusion was to a road in Sierra county. He seemed to think that the counties would fare better were all the roads turned over to the state. In that event at least the county would be treated as 4a unit, and would not be subjected to varying degrees of prejudice or expediency which frequently governs work on county roads under the present system. j Senator Seawell closed his address with a cordial invitation to the club to consult with him or advise him in any matter in which the club don’t see anything illogical about it. or its members wére interested.
