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.

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.

ON LEGISLATION
(Continued from Page One)
We forstalled that condition in California. We relieved the farmer and

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.

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

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.
