TRICK HITS PAF AND TURNS OVER George Bastunas, vegetable truck driver of Sacramento, driving toward Grass Valley on the Colfax road early Friday morning, saw an animal in the road, tried to avoid it, and the animal also trying to escape the truck both met at the edge of the ditch. The truck turned over, scattering apples and vegetables round about. Bastunas reported at the sheriff's office and secured a wrecking car to drag his tru@® into the road. Investigation ‘by Undersheriff William Woods resulted in finding a big doe, very dead and bloated, several yards from the truck. “If its throat had been cut at the time of the accident, it would have made a good meal for folks in the county hospital,’ said Woods, “‘but I had to leave it there.” The native home of the Cheviot breed of sheep is in the border country between England and Scotland, especially in the Scottish country of Roxburgh and the English county of Northumberland. “NEW” REFRIGERATOR FOR ONLY Sek Sh oo eS ice REFIG-O-MASTER, sensational accessory “converts” all refrigerators into “super-delux”’ performance! $5.85 . o SAVES YOUR REFIGERATOR—Adds years to life.

The goals, were adopted by the board after consultation with California farm groups and representatives of the War Food Administration in Washington, and are set up as guides to farmers in planning their 1944 operations. Cooperation of farmers will be entirely voluntary. L In announcing the goals, MDave Davidson, War Board Chairman, emcapacity of the state to the food and feber needs of the.-nation. in such a will be making its maximum possible contribution to the war effort. In. general, the goals call: for a continuation of 1943’s bumper production with adjustments in some crops to bring production in line with over all food needs and effic-. ient use of production facilities. Among field crops, the goals call for an increase of 11 per cent in dry beans, bringing acreage to 500,000 compared with approximately 253,000 acres in 1943 and a pre-war average of 371,000 acres. An increase of 2 ;per cent is asked for in Irish potatoes and an increase of 14 per cent in sweet potatoes, which would bring acreages of both crops to about 30 ;ber cent above pre-war averages. Sugar beet production fell off materially in 19438, dropping from 183000 acres in 1942 to approximaitely {88,000 acres. The 1944 goal of 160,/000 acres would bring production of this crop back .up to slightly below the pre-war average of 164,000 acres.
Goals for grain crops call for increases of 8 per cent in Indian corn, 36 per cent in grain sorghums, 6 per cent in barley, 33 per cent in wheat, and 11 per cent in rye harvested for ;grain: and reduction of 3. per cent in oats. A reduction of 15 per cent, . in grain hay is offset by an increase ‘of 5 per cent in alfalfa, which yields more feed per acre. A reduction of 8 per cent in cotton and an increase of 100 per cent in peanuts were suggested for the areas of ‘the state producing these crops. Production of rice at about the present levels was rrequested. The flaxseed goal of 280,000 acres represents a reduction of 9 per. cent below this year’s average, but is 152 above the pre-war average. It was pointed out that a reduction in the goal does not indicate any lessening in the need for this vital oil-bearing crop, but rather that production in 1943 was expanded beyond the limit of adapted acreage. In announcing goals for livestock and livestock products, it was emphasized that feed supplies are expected to be a limiting factor. Goals call for a maintained production of milk and eggs, with increases wherever possible in the face of feed and labor problems. A reduction of 30 per cent in commercial broiler production is requested and_ turkey growers are asked to reduce production’ 7 per cent below this year’s record levels. Goals for meat animals call for a downward revision to bring numbers which are now at an all time high, into line with feed supplies. A reduction of, 10 per cent in. both .spring: and fall: pig crops ds. requested,’ and producers of cattle and sheep .are asked to. market;engugit: to. reduce'f Vegetables were divided: into two Group 1 +— Those vegetables. for} which requirements. are especially} heavy and in which an increase ‘in production is desired; snap: ‘beans, ‘beets, carrots, cabbage, peas, tomatoes, onions, spinach, broccoli, and other green vegetables. Group 2—Vegetables which should be maintained as much as possible in view of shortages of materials and for which the maximum goal is the 1943 acreage. This group was subdivided into three classes, according to order of importance: Class A. lima beans, asparagus, egg plant, and green peppers; Class B, cantaloupes, caluiflower, celery, lettuce, and artichokes; Class C, cucumbers and watermelons, . For processing vegetables, a general increase of 3 per cent was suggested, with acreage of canning tomatoes remaining at 1943 levels. Growers of vegetables for processing were calitioned to obtain contracts before planting time. . Although production of fruit and other tree crops is limited by present, orchard acreage, fruit growers tion through good cultural practices effort toward GRASS VALLEY — PHONE 88 maximum utilization of SS phasized that they are a realistic at. tempt to gear the farm production . way that every acre of farm: land ; — . This will involve a continuation of . the trend toward dryipg and other ‘processing of many fruit crops, and he War Board indicated that prob. lems concerning harvesting, marketjing, and processing, will receive early atténtion and continued’ study ‘throughout the coming season. It was emphasized that the total of these acreage goals represents the ‘top limit at which 1944 farm produc‘ition ‘may be reasonably expected to} ;be maintained with normal weather ;conditions. It was recognized by the . War Board that achievement of goals ‘is dependent upon solving many difficult problems involving transporiation, materials and labor, but the ‘board pointed out that. 1943 produc‘tion was obtained in spite of similar ‘difficulties, many of which appeared : to be insurmountable at the beginining of the season. In making the Announcement, (Chairman Davidson explained that . the goals represent desirable total (acreages for the etate, but that the 'decisions of the individual farmer will have to be governed by. condi“very grower should seek to use his farm in such a way as to make the maximum contribution,’’ Davidson said. “In many cases this will result in individual adjustments which do production goals for milk and eggé do not call for any increase for the state as a whole, for the simple reason that no such increase could reasonably be. expected under present conditions. However, needs for these foods are so great that any dairy or ‘poultry producer who has facilities for increasing his production in 1944 should by all means do so”’ Davidson suggested that farmers consult freely with their county USDA War Boards in making their 1944 crop plans. SPOOL OF WIRE RECORDS SPEECH FOR 66 MINUTES Sixty six minutes speech can be recorded on 11,500 feet of hair like steel wire on a spool no larger than the ordinary doughnut, in a new type of wire sound recorder being buiit by General Electric Company. , Operating under a license of the Armour Rerearch Foundation in Chicago, engineers in General Plectrie’s laboratory are now engaged in redesigning the apparatus so that it can be manufactured in mass pro. duction to meet the demands of both the army and navy. Tre recorder, itself, is contained in a small box, weighing about nine pounds. It has many wartime uses, but perhaps none more important than in observation planes. Instead of the customary pad and pencil now used by pilots in making notes of what they see on scouting trips, they can dictate into a small microphone just as the busy office executive now uses a dictaphone. Instead of the observers’ words being recorded on a wax cylinder they are recorded magnetically on wire which is but four one-thousandths of an inch in diameter, : When there is no longer any use for the recordings, the speech can and the wire is as good as’ new for future recordings. tions affecting his own operations. . not reflect state goals.
