SUBSIDIES
‘Farmers are hard-working me:
in the business of producing the
foods and fibres necessary to supply the needs of our Nation. By
and large, these farmers don’t
relish the unfavorable position,
due in large measure to the adverse publicity given government
in which they
find themselves with the general
public. The farmer’s side of the
story, plus the seemingly neverending list of other government
has never adequately

If a person were to go into one
of our large metropolitan areas
and ask the average man on the
street what he thinks of governthe chances are

Che hces Meadce i made. possible by a direct subsidy.
Despite such commonly €X-. to the transportation facility,
pressed opinions, the American
public has been supporting an
elaborate system of government
subsidies ever since the first Congress met in 1789. It is difficult
to name a business which is not
receiving some type of government subsidy, and the average
man on the street comes into contact with them every day,
whether he knows it or not.
When he awakens in the morning he turns on a light and immediately starts sharing the result of a subsidy provided through
a fast-tax-write-off plan which
saves power companies billions
of dollars—and which reduces his
light bill accordingly.
When he includes meat in any
of his meals, he shares the benefits of the government’s $19 million dollar Federal Meat InspecGrand National

ALL GUILTY
Throughout the day, the man
who largely accuses the farmer
of -being the sole beneficiary of
all subsidies will find, if he but
looks around, that government
subsidies have encroached on
practically every phase of our
very existernice. Farmers generally, and in California partitularly, have been against direct farm
subsidies. They are now beginning to tell their story to the
general public and perhaps as
“Mr. Average Man” gets all of

crowds, circus fans and enthusiasts of many other. kinds, will
revert to its original role this
week and next, October 30 to
November 8.
The giant auditorium and the
other buildings on its 56-acre site
will be turned over to the livestock industry for the 15th annual
Grand National. Livestock Exposition, Horse Show and Rodeo for
a 10-day run.
/ With nearly 3,000 beef cattle,
dairy cattle, sheep and hogs entered by 341 exhibitors, competing for $93,000 in premiums, the
livestock end of the show assuredly will be outstanding and well
worth seeing.
The Grand National, however,
is not exclusively a _ livestock
shew. It also features a dazzling
championship horse show with
$55,000 in cash and plate at stake
and a championship rodeo in
which more than 200 of the Nation’s top-flight cowboys will
compete for more than $52,000 in
prizes,
All in-all, the Grand National
will be better than ever this year.
San Francisco puts its best foot
forward at Grand National time
and visitors are assured a marvelous time.

Such cows usually are in: poor

the milking period. They _ have .

to produce milk. Good cows can
this from happening. The nutritional requirements of the unborn calf increase as freshening
approaches, but normal cows can
consume more than enough feed
for this purpose.
Dairymen should provide exceptional cows with as much as
eight pounds of concentrates, such
as grain and mixed feed. Average cows will need only from two
to four pounds, while cows of
need no grain.
