The Coane Seat Paper NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA The GOLD Center MONDAY, MARCH Pe 1934 ~ PREDICTS FARM 4 PRICESINSTATE WILL ADVANCE . By RALPH H. TAYLOR If Seecretary~ of Agriculture Wallace has read the “signs of the times” correctly, Cahfornia agriculture, dur-} ing 1934, will enjoy an average increase in income of approximately $1000 per farm. The estimate is based on the prediction of Secretary Wallace that . farin income, in the. nation at large, will jump two billion dollars over last year, with twenty million farmers sharing in the increase. Although average farmer,. mindful of past experience, is likely ‘to discount such predictions pending vash-confirmation, there are fairly reliable indications of better days ahead. But whether the upswing will be as great as ee is prob‘lematical. the conie-back, Califield, orchard Pointing to the fornia’s income frem and truck crops for 1933 jumped ‘$41,000,000, lifting from $248,847,000 in 1932 to $289,395,000 for last year—the best record since 1929." Earnings of the livestock, dairying puted for all areas, will probably approximate $135,000,000 additional. In contemplating the happy. prospect of greater cash income, the farer, however, will be forced to take into consideration the effect of the ‘dollar devaluation program on. his actual purchasing power. But even in this light, the outlook is distinctly hopeful for the devaluated dollar 1s just as good as the old dollar when it comes to paying off debts. And who has more debts than the farmer? FRUIT ACREAGE CUT Still another hopeful sign for agriculture is the fact that fruit acapparently in prospect for clingstone and freestone peaches, plums, olives, raisins and table grapes. . According to agricultural .econo‘mists of the University of California, there is also promise that expansion of.production has ended for apricots, prunes and almonds. Practically the only increases in production anticipated are in cherries, pears, walnuts, wine grapes and citrus fruits. The survey just completed by the economists brings the warning, however, that the trend in grapefruit production is sharply upward, with fur-' ther expansion also expected in the production'of lemons. ' { California, along with the rest of the nation, should have learned’ by this time the disastrous results. of overproduction and the California farmer, planning on new plantings, would, do well to consider whether his program of expansion is justified. Particular caution should be brought to bear on proposed Ae OE the trend, due to the repeal of prohibition, is for general expansion. Glutting the markét with grapes at low prices might very well benefits which the wine grape industry would otherwise reap. : LONG TIME PLANNING NEEDED With the federal government preparing to-spend approximately $761,000,000 this year to induce farmers to plow-under crops and _= abstain from plantings, California farmers, who specialize in “luxury products,” have more than ordinary reason to study production tables and the law of supply and demand before they plant. destroy More than anything else, agriculture, if it is to enjoy permanent re#overy, needs intelligent long-time planning: Both the federal and state governments, as well as the University of California and numerous other agenies, are constantly at work on surveys'to supply authentic data as a safeguard against unwise expansion. And the farmer who rates as a consistent money-maker during the critical years just ahead will be the farmer who knows market and production conditions as well as he knows his own fields. The era of gambling in the farming business—and getting away with it— has Rema itely ended ae oO Mr. and Mrs. Frank ee of Oakland spent the week end in Nevada City with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. i.
