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.”

USD A SETS FARM
GOALS FOR 1944
BERKELEY, Oct. 31.—Farm crap
goals calling for continued high’ production in 1944 of dairy, poultry and
other livestock products, and moderate increases of several imrortant
food erops were announced today by
the California USDA War Board. 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. .

other tree crops is limited by present, orchard acreage, fruit growers

. 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
