Speaking to 150 members at
‘the joint annual meeting of the
Yuba and Sutter County Farm
Bureaus in Yuba . Marysville, Louis A. Rozzoni, president
of the California Farm Bureau
Federation charged that today's
political candidates are all trying to be the Moses of the national farm surpluse problem.
Their answers, Rozzoni declared, range from sudden, complete elimination of supports to
support prices for all the 250
crops raised commercially in the
United States.
He said placing controls on &
few basic crops leaves him wondering if standards have been
set up for a new group of second
class. citizens, those excluded
from help.
The answer, he stated, in reaffirming national farm bureau
policies, lies in gradual elimination of the supports, leaving only
a shell structure available in
natural or man-made emergencies.
He .asserted prices should be
returned to a supply-demand
basis and excess land put into a
soil reserve conservation program.
He answered a charge farm bureau fosters big farm operations
to the exclusion of the small
operator.
“Under the free enterprise system, the person allowed to farm
is the one who is qualified,” he
said. “The size of the farm is
related to the amount of a man’s
brain cells, not the amount of
land he holds.”
Rozzoni declared the limitations placed upon the free enterprise system have put the United
States more than halfway down
the road to socialism.
“How many would raise your
hands if I asked which of you
is a capitalist?” he asked. “You
all are to the extent. of capital
that you own or control. If we do
admit such things we look around
to see if anybody heard us,
‘Don’t be so timid. It is time
to wake up.
“The Communist tells you what
he is and is proud of it, like he
was a saint or rscmatas He is
waiting.”
‘Bulk Packing Of Fruit
‘Passes Transit Tests
‘Nevada County apple growers
have been using the loose filling
method of packing their shipping
apples for some time. This method of packing several varieties of
fruit is now passing scientific
tests, says Doug Hamilton, Nevada County farm advisor. .
Hand packing of fruit is not
necessarily the best way to do
the job. A series of simulated
transit tests by Rene Guillou, of
thes University of California’s
Agricultural Engineering Department at Davis, showed that pears,
plums and apricots ship well if
they are simply poured gently
into boxes, settled by vibration,
and held in place by pads beneath tightly fastened covers.
Guillou reported that fruit
packed in this way has been arriving in better condition than
when hand packed and is more
easily handled in retail stores.
Han packing labor is entirely
eliminated.
‘ik Idostry
Representatives of California’s
dairy industry entered the closing
sessions of their meetings at Santa
Rosa with the assurance of. William E. Warne, state agriculture
director, that marketing specialists are working to help relieve
the industry’s bad —— situation.
Warne told a joint ‘session of
the California Farm’ Bureau's
dairy department, the California
Creamery Operators Association
and the state dairy industry advisory board that 5,000 state
lairymen went out of business
between 1950 and 1958 because
of financial losses.
Currently, Warne said, dairymen are selling milk at $1 per
hundredweight less than the cost
of production.
One of the major problems, he
said, is the sale of milk to federal installations where the state’s
price’ control agency has no jurisjiction. Attempts to enforce state
minimum prices on sales to Travis
Air Force: Base, Soalano County,
and other federal agencies regarded as borderline installations,
Warne related;. resulted in the
federal government’s filing suit
in Sacramento to prevent imposition of the minimums.
Warne reported also on the
progress of the brucellosis testing program in the state and on
the federal government’s reduction of its subsidy on milk sold
in the school lunch program.
Al Bianchi of Pt. Reyes, Marin
County, was reelected chairman
of the farm bureau’s dairy department and Ray Hansen of Los
Angeles and Stanislaus County
was named vice chairman.

helped those squares who were
new at this second dance of the
series.

GARDENING
Home Gardening .. The
1960 Way
There is a difference..a growing difference .. in the way
many home gardeners are going
about their hobby of growing
flowers and vegetables these days
. and the change is paying off
in greater satisfaction and less
work.
This change has been made
possible by the revolutionary
peat pots which come in assorted
sizes and shapes and are made
of peat moss and wood fibre.
Walls of the pots are porous so
roots grow right through them,
This makes it possible to plant
“pot and all” when transplanting, therefore no root shock, no
bare root exposure. Most imMore than 100 cars of Bartlett

SPRING’S BIGGEST SHOW
RHODODENDRONS
You can pull out all the stops
when you go to describe a rhododendron in full bloom. Call it
regal, gorgeous, voluptuous—we’ll
go along. It’s all of these and
more.
In fact, we’ve always felt it a
good thing that most azaleas,
camellias and other spring shrubs
have finished their bloom before
most rhododendrons start theirs.
To see them. all at the same time
would be too much of a good
thing. The others would only
play second fiddle.at best.
Actually, the beautiful
rhododendron Cornubia is already showing color in some
Northern California gardens. But
red
one among the many colors that
forecast spring. And, too, it shadings are a true bright spot in late
winter gardens,
The bulk of rhododendron
bloom comes later in April and
May when it has little of a comparable nature to challenge its
supremacy. If you set bud bearing shrubs out now, you can enjoy the big show from the start.
California gardeners are often
of the opinion that rhododendrons
are for coastal climates only, that
they thrive in the San Francisco
region and suffer from heat in
the Valley. This the California
Association of Nurserymen can
disprove by referring you to
countless satisfied gardeners who
have grown rhododendrons inland
by giving them their favorite
conitions.
In all climates, they love a loose
moist soil on the acid side. Work
plenty of moist peat and leaf
mold into the soil when planting
and mulch with moist peat to
conserve moisture after the rains
end. They stand nearly full sun
in some coastal gardens, but they
need shade overhead inland.
Broken shade, as from a lattice is
ideal. Moisture at the roots and
‘on the foliage during warm
weather is also ideal. With such
care, they will respond with
bloom as only a rhododendron
can.
United States Farm

products in 1959 were the sixth
highest in value and the third
highest in quantity.
The total of. $3,700,000,000 in
exports. compared with $4,000,000,000 in 1958 and $4,700,000,000 in 1957. Exports last year

Meet Scheduled
The first of a series of four
livestock feeding meetings scheduled for ranchers of Nevada, Placer, and El Dorado Counties will
be held in the supervisors’ meeting room of the Placer County
Courthouse, Auburn, on Thursday, March 3, at 8 p.m., announces
Bill Helphinstine, Nevada County farm advisor. Many aspects of

schduled for’ March 3, 10, 17, and
24, all Thursday evenings at 8
p.m.
The first session will be evoted to fundamentals of . animal
nutrition, in both a technical and
practical sense. There will be discussions on basic nutrition, feed

atitibiotics, feed addtiives, pellets,
high concentrate rations, and subjects of special importance to area
stockmen.
Those who will participate in
one or more meetings include
Farm Advisors Jack Graves of
El Dorado County; Walter Johnson of Placer County, and Willian
Helphinstine of Nevada County,
Reuben. Albaugh, Extension animal ‘husbandman, and Dr.-James

the yearly outline. Important announcements. were listed on &
small blackboard and put up at
each meeting. This made it clear
to all members what the club
was doing. The club officers wore
their full uniforms which. set a
good example for the rest of the
club.’
Anyone visitingthe Kentucky
Flat 4-H Club is immediately impressed with the relaxed, friendly
spirit of everyone present. The
club members say it is due to the
leaders, particularly Phil and
Johanna Personeni, The leaders
insist that the club would fold
if it weren’t for the enthusiasm
of the members. Sharon Ouslay,
Sharon Personeni, Jim and Dan
DeMartini, emphasized that they
appreciated the personal interest
of their leadedrs, and felt free to
call them when a problem arose,
When many new members
joined the Kentucky Flat club
last fall, the club leaders influenced the club to elect their club
officers from the older experienced members, even though they
had been officers before. In this
way the younger members more
quickly learned about 4-H.
Karen Hansen, Victor and Vicki
Engstrom from the Nevada City
4-H Club held an interesting discussion on how to get member
participation. this is no easy job
in the county’s largest club. In
Nevada City, each member finds
himself on planning an activity
or helping to plan the meeting
program or working on one of
the game or refreshment committees. Members also bring interest to the meetnigs with project reports and demonstrations on
their projects.
In Chicago Park, the club officers get the “low down” on each
club parent. Then the members
themselves appoint these parents
to be leaders. Club President Janiece Paul reports they have never
been refused. Jerry Gomes, Pat
Smith and Joe Dinatali agree
that to make this system work
the officers must know their parents and their likes and dislikes.
Sometimes the club leaders help
make the first contact with the
parents.
Until the early part of the 14th
century worshipers. in churches
were accustomed to stand or sit
on the floor.
California’ farmers are among
the best:technicians in agriculture
in the United States.
