BERKELEY, June 28 —— More home food production is needed if California families are to have an. adequate home supply of fresh vegetables, eggs, poultry and rabbit meat. This warning came today from B. H. Cochran, director of the agricultural: extension service, university of California Cochran reviewed the food requirements for military, lend lease and liberated countries and asserted that increased home food production was, imperative if domestic needs were to be adequately filled. Two years ago Victory gardens produced more than 40 per cent of all the fresh vegetables consumed in} the home. Last year this total was not so impressive. This year if we are to eat well the victory garden production must climb to or beyond tha 1943 figure. The outlook for California’s harvests according to estimates from responsbile state and federal agencies are average or better than average. Cochran declared. However. he pointed out much of this anticipated prodluction will leave the state as fresh or processed shipments. As a result Californians will benefit less this year from the bountiful harvests of their own state than in any year since hostilities started.

In addition the waiting period for unemployment insurance was reduced from two weeks to. one week, a legislative action which will enable slaimanitts to obtain unemployment insurance funds a week sooner than previously. _ “The legislature’ of California have wisely developed unemployment Braynt said. “The program in this 'state started nearly ten years ago with employer coverage of those hiring. eight or more persons, and the period for insurance was four weeks. , Developments and improvements in the program, ‘coupled with improvement in administration in 1939 fixed employer. coverage -at those hiring four or more persons, and Te@>. duced the waiting period to two weeks. When the 1945 laws are effective, California employers total~ ing more than 150,000 will participate in the program, and the: waiting Bryant also pointed out the legislature adopted a bill providing: for a staff of field investigators in his division. The job of this staff will be ployment insurance fund. Technical measures, providing for easier recoupment of insurance overpayments, .thereby protecting emPloyer accounts, also were adopted. Only two mapor unemployment insurance issues remain on the governor’s desk.
