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 farm programs, subsidies, er been told to our citizens. 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 is against them. Ask him who gets subsidies and his answer will undoubtedly be Ask him if he or his business receives: a government supbsidy, and:the answer is likement subsidies, that he would tell you he most government “farmers.” ly to be an emphatic “No.” If he makes a trip by train, * es @ & plane, or boat, he rides at a fare 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 Time Once Again The nationally famed San Francisco-San.

When he sits down to read a magazine or his daily mail, he shares in a subsidy provided through the U. S. Post Office Department—a subsidy which has cut the annual cost of mailing a single publication by as much as $8,604,000. s * @ & 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 the facts, he will no longer erroneously picture the farrfer as the which.bas..resqunded to. the cheers of politicians, prize-fight . 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. First of 13 Meetings Cattlemen Open A series’ of 13 meetings of the California Cattlemens. Association was started in San Joaquin Valley. and coast county areas last Sunday. President Brunel Christensen and Executive Secretary J.

High-Producing Cows Deserve Attention High Producing dairy cows are the. ones that need the’ most attention during their dry periods. So points out Farm Advisor William N. Helphinstine of the Univresity of California. Such cows usually are in: poor fleshing condition at the end of the milking period. They _ have . used material from their bodies 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. The concentrate fed to dry cows tent. About one and a, half pounds of digestible protein daily are adequate for--a-1,300-pound cow last three months. of pregnancy.

This was when he was a student at the University of California College of Pharmacy in San Franciseo. He practiced pharmacy in the my Area from 1928 to 1936.
