production of California Valencia
oranges is in view. Increased ship
ments of winter oranges from Flor
ida, Texas, and Arizona are seen.
Exports of summe> oranges are
being handicapped by foreign tar
if restrictions and various other
forms of nationalistic policies
abroad Expansion both of bearing
acreage and production OF lemons
is indicated in the near future.
During the past five years, a po-
tentially serious surplus condition
has developed in the lemon industry
of the state owing to large plant
ings in excess Of usual replace
ment needs. Burdensome supplies
of grapefruit in the domestic mar
ket together with increased compe-
tition in the foreign markets are
in prospect during the coming
years. Pronounced upward trend
in grapefruit production seems
likely to continue.
Nuts
Consumption of almonds in the
United States has shown signifi-
cant decrease in each of the past
four years. The 1871 and 1884 al
mond crops in California were con-
siderably below normal. Heavier
production in subsequent years is
expected to follow.
With trend of walnut production
in California and Oregon rapidly
increasing, growers will have their
incomes reduced unless some plan
to control distribution is MAIN
tanned. Poor low-yielding orchards
will be unable to pay all costs, and
new paintings will be faced with
severe competition. Pecans are
not covered in the report but the
above indicates that pecans will
face increasing competition.
Olives and Asparagus
The trend of olive production
during the next five years will be
gradually downward. Prices to
growers have been increased, and
Gamers selling prices have been
stabilized by the AAA marketing
agreement for olives. Unless plant
ings Of asparagus are curtailed
and old beds of declining produc-
tivity are plowed out, production
will continue to be considerably
in excess of requirements for can
ming and for fresh shipments.

CoU Testing Aids
Herds OF Valley

OF great advantage to ambitious
dairymen in Imperial Valley has
been the COW testing association
which is conducted in connection
with the farm bureau and the un-
iyersity extension. Through this,
at very little expense, herds are
regularly tested and records made
which determine without question
the good and the poor producers.
BY the elimination of the culls,
herd averages have risen very de-
cidedly over a period of years.

CAR SALES IN
WEST SHOWING
HEAVY GAINS

SAN SEQ. March 6.
Especial D-Business men got a pro-
digious boost in morale recently
from the Pacific coast automobile
industry which reported January
sales of passenger cars jumped more
than IS per cent over those of jan
uary last year.
Figures taken from the official
records of California, Oregon and
Washington showed registrations OF
1856 new cars, compared with 1884
il! January last year and 8189 in
December.
The January gain over December
amounted to sc per cent.
High significance is accorded the
showing of auto sales, as the trend
is considered a sensitive barometer
of the public buying mood.
The automobile sales records have
been awaited with unusual inter-
est, not only for the foregoing rea-
sons, but because January figures
were kept back by clerical delays oc-
casioned by registrations of all cars
and the annual issuance OF license
plates.
The spectacular gains recorded
throughout the Pacific states IN the
first month of this year were re-
garded as especially significant OF
business recovery by business men,
who called attention to the gratifi-
cation expressed last year when 1884
sales topped the preceding year by
"a per cent. The present sales are
the largest since 1929, he added.
Californias incomplete sales fig
ures were 10,064 for January, COM
pared with 5,902 in January last
year and 1888 in December. .-.
Oregon dealers sold 1864 cars in
January, compared with 562 in the
1884 month and 855 in December.
Washington registNations showed
sales of 1447 new cars last month
compared with 876 year ago and
1471 in December.

Motorists Pay
Large Amount
To Government

Consumers of motor fuels and
lubricants paid "a per cent more
in taxes to the federal government
during the fiscal year than did con-
sumers OF distilled spirits and users
of electricity, the telephone, tele-
graph, radio and cables combined,
reports of the bureau of internal
revenue show.
Total federal taxes paid by mo-
tor-yehicle owners, who are the
largest consumers of gasoline and
lubricants, amounted to $309,1
435, or about one-eighth of the
total internal revenue collections.
The larger portion, 1927, ,830,02l,
came from motor fuels and lubri-
cants, while the rest was derived
from federal taxes of vehicles, tires,
tubes, parts and accessories.
Total federal taxes paid by mo-
tor-vehicle owners averaged round
ly $13 per vehicle. or about one
third the similar taxes levied by
the states.

Bee Keepers Will
Haze Fine Display

Honey, as everyone knows. is not
cnly a delicate confection, but its
health giving qualities are as im-
portant as its toothsome qualities,
many dietitians recommending It's
use instead of the refined sugars.
The bee keepers of the valley will
display all kinds of honey and the
displays will be judged according to
various points as flavor, color, fin
ish, cleanliness. Both honey in the
comb and strained will be shown,
and the attractiveness of the dis
play will be taken into consideration
as well as the excellence of the pro-

Uses of honey in cooking will be

Building Boom
Predicted For
Entire Country

Predictions that one of the big
gest repair and undermining booms
of all time is getting under way are
being made by building analysts and
those acquainted with the way the
construction industry works.
The easy payment, no-money-
down features of the FILA modern
izing program are just beginning to
be widely realized and appreciated.
The three clear-cut facts that are
making contractors, lumber dealers
and building men active in mod
ernization work plans for the COM
ing months are:
|. Banks and lending institutions
have now had time to get acquaint-
ed with the FILA plan and are be-
ginning to realize its profit posi-
bilities. On January IL the admin
istrator reported that 12,073 finan-
cial institutions had signed up.
2. The public is just beginning
to become modernization conscious.
Constant repetition of the subject
is necessary to turn talk into build
ing action. FILA reported on jan
uary ~ that Sob community Bet
ter Housing campaigns have been
organized. Experience has shown
that the real volume of building
work does not actually get under
way until months after the peak
OF community drive.
8. Contractors, builders, carpen-
ters, dealers, sub-contractors and
other building men are themselves
just becoming sufficiently sold on
the FILA plan to make an effort to
sell repairs to the public. They
have had to learn a new technique
the installment selling method.

NEW YORK, Sept. S. GN.SO.
The cotton market continued
steady in later dealings as better

was sharply reversed however,
the near months, which were
strong at the opening turning
down from the best levels while
the far months. probably on gov

The Far East, the trade, Liver
pool and the Continent were buy
ers. Selling was coming from the
South, wire houses and spot
houses, with Wall Street also
contributing cotton.
Toward noon the market be-
came a little less active with
prices holding about steady.

Wheat displayed a strong under

BEST DAYS OF THE YEAR

The spring months may be the
years most popular season, since
they bring relief from the chills of
Old Man Winter. But for inspiration
to achievement and solid work, give
us the tonic days of September.
The cooler winds blow down from
the north in current of new ener-
gy. They tell Mr.. and Mrs. Man to
be up and doing. No longer can we
lie around in hammocks, pleading
that it is too hot. The stimulating
breezes of autumn tell us that if We
can't do things now, we never can.
The United States has the best
climate in the world, and no one of
the As states has better weather than
Delaware. 1t is not too hot or too
cold, which gives us just the right
balance between the forces of ac-
tivity and those that promote rest.
America now says to every one of
us, Get a move on"
Milford chronicle., 1935-09-06
POWER AND BEATTY

1t is remarked that if you compli-
ment a young lady on her beautiful
arms. which stand out smooth and
round from her evening dress, she
smiles very sweetly on you. But if
you praise her for her powerful
arms, which look as if she could do
some real stunts of hOusework, ten
mis- or golf, she frOwns, and doesn't
seem to regard it as fiattering.
1t is not so everywhere. In more
backward countries. the young men
pick their brides for their physical
power more than for beauty. The
wife must be able to till the garden
and handle the cows. and she needs
physical strength.
But in our advanced society, the
women folks still depend much on
charm. This is a strenuous age, and
charm frequently breaks down in
dealing with its conflicts.

PRESCRIPTION NEEDED

If people want Milford to keep up
with the times. they must put some
energy and effort into it. 1t takes
perspiratiOn as well as aspiration.
The man who merely sits on his
porch and wishes his place looked
better, will not probably have one
that will command any high price.
Any kind of home will degener-
ate unless cared for. Either money
must be spent, or people must work
hard with their hands. Even if the
building is kept in good repair, re-
fuse must constantly be disposed Of
grass must be moved and usually
watered. And a place will always
look bare and little repellant, un-
less effort is made to beautify it
with flowers and shrubs. These
things pay in satisfaction, and make
any place commercially more valu-
able.

SCHOOL DAYS

The fate of a nation is determined
by its schools. Napoleon Bonaparte
said that public instruction should
be the first object of government.
Gen. VonMoltke, German historian,
said that the battle of SadOWa, fa-
nous encounter in which the Prus-
SLAMS defeated the Austrians; was
won by the Prussian schOOlmasters.
The nation that has the best schools
will rule the world.
When the United States, tormented
by a prolonged depression, allowed
a large part of its schools to run
for short school years and many of
them to close, it purchased a policy
OF short sighted economy. Almost
any kind Of public service could be
sacrificed, before it would pay to
cripple the schools.
Yet extravaganza can not be toll
Grated in any public school system.
In good. times people form the habit
OF spending money freely. The ma
jority of them do not realize the
value of a dollar. School systems
are not always free from that in
fiuence.
The communities that are taxing
themselves to maintain school terms
and services of reasonable length.
will reap the reward in greater in
telligence and working capacity
among their young people.
The school house doors open for
a new school year on some fine
morning in September or at a later
date. Education sharpens the mind.
it stirs ambition. it gives capacity
for judgment With intelligence,
ambition. and sense. our people can
accomplish any end they may cher
ish. But it is not enough to open
the school house doors and provide
teachers. Youth must realize that
education means work. You can't |
hitchhike up the hill of knowledge.

OUR AMERICAN HUSTLE

Travellers from foreign lands say
that the thing that impresses them
most in this country is the intense
energy of American life, the dispo-
sition of the people to work and
strive for success, and. the faster
motions that people make.
Anybody has to have that kind of
spirit, in business or his own work,
or he falls behind the typical Ameri-
can pace. The business concern
that goes quietly on its way without
showing any special enterprise, will
not probably grow much. The en-
ploye who just plods through his
task day after day without any spe-
cial appearance of rush and hustle,
will not probably win promotion
fast. Get a move on" is one of
Americas most favored notices.
