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. 4-Hers Learning Square Dances Tuesday night’s 4-H square dangewas a huge success and was enjoyed by well-behaved, enthusiastic participants who filled Hennessy School auditorium to capacity. The caller and 4 organizer, Ober Johnson, was assisted by his wife Vera, who helped those squares who were new at this second dance of the series. ty were represented by 4-H members, leaders and parents. There will be no new sign-ups, as the class is too far advanced now to accomodate newcomers. GLIMPSES on 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.

Green Thumb 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 Exports Decline United ‘States exports of 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 were slightly under the 1955-58 average but .about one sixth this we can buy, since it is only . Stock Feeders 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 feeding beef cattle and sheep will be covered. The meetings are 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 evaluation, animal requirements and balancing rations. _ ‘The following meetings will cover such subjects as hormones, 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 Meyer of the University of California Department of Animal Husbandry, Davis. All interested stockmen are invited to attend an take part in the -meetings. State Dairymen Schedule Meeting Dairy farmers of California, members of the American Dairy Association of Caliorfnia, will El‘=Dorado Hotel, Sacramento, for their annual meeting. The two day session will. be highlighted by the presence of Governor Edmund G. Brown at the second luncheon, and talks by Joseph E. Burger of Pasadena, Will A. Foster of New York and Alvin C.

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.
