Details of resolutions relative to
agricultural problems, to strikes
labor. subversive activities, national
agricultural problems passed at the
California Farm Bureaus conven-
ton in Pasadena were announced in
El Centro today.
Among the resolutions which will
interest valley farmers are the fol-
lowing:
A group of resolutions relative to
labor disputes, strikes, subversive
activities in which the state feder-
alton went on record as regarding
hiring halls and closed shops as an
imposition and opposing them; ad-
vocating uniform legislation in
counties and municipalities relative
to picketing and trespaSsing; ad-
vocating a study of the problems of
labor, opposing granting of relief to
strikers, advocating the state crimi-
nal syndicaliSm law and advocating
the deportation of aliens who are
Communists.
In this connection a resolution
was passed commencing the Califor-
MIA highway patrol for its work dur
ing various strikes.
Resolutions concerning national
finance were: one advocating con-
tinuance of the Reconstruction Fin
ance Corporation, and asking the
American Farm Bureau Federation
also to pass such a resolution, this
resolution originating with the I'M
perial County Farm Bureau: one
fayoring continuance of the federal
land bank interest rate at 3l2 per
cent and the commissioner loans
interest rate at not more than u
per cent more, asking that commits
sioner's loans be repaid in 20 INSTALL
mentS instead of the present 10 if
the borrower so requests. Since
there are between 3-400 commissioner
loans in the county this last resolu-
ton is of considerable interest.
Closely allied with finance is the
resolution opposing increases in
trucking rates being granted by the
state railway commission.
Under national agricultural prof.
ects, resolutions were passed favor
ing controlled marketing legislation
as exemplified in the marketing
agreement of the AAA; favoring a
so per cent increase on tariff on
canned meats imported into this
country from foreign countries.
Another resolution of interest to
Imperial county was that opposing
the compulsory consolidation of
school districts.
Imperial county farmers who have
been active in demanding curb on
the sale of grain futures will be in
terested in the resolution passed

Through the courtesy of the
Southern California association of
Teachers of English, an institute
program on the problem of teach
ing English from the seventh grade
through the high school will be
given Saturday morning at 9 o.

cent of the association, will dis
cuss the new philosophy of teach
ing English. Two panel discussions,
one on English for the non-col-

SOIL PROGRAM NOT
GENERAL in STATE
Farmers Not Taking Full
Advantage Of Conserva-
ton Undertaking

College Station, Raleigh, Nov s.
North Carolina farmers have not yet
taken full advantage of the soil-im-
provement program. the greatest con-
certed action ever undertaken for the
benefit of the farmer and his land,
said DR.. r. Y Winters, director of the
N. C.. Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton
Considerable success has been made
with the old AAA and the new pro-
gram in adjusting production of cash
crops and bringing prices up to or
near parity, he continued, but soil
conservation has not received all the
support 1t deserves.
Under the old AAA, cotton and to-
bacco growers did take much of their
land out of these crops and at the
same time increase their production
Of food and feed crops, he stated, and
that was a good thing as far as it
vent.
But many of them grew soil-deplet-
ing food and feed crops with little or
no fertilizer, with the result that they
got low yields and poor quality feeds,
and also depleted the soil still further
OIUCI Lie PIOS-
RAM the acreage Of soil-building and
conserving crops has been increased,
DR.. Winters said, but there still Is a
need for more such crops If the
States farm land is to be restored to
It's former fertility and conserved for
future generations.
Since the full benefits of soil-build-
ing and conserving are not imme-
diately available, he continued, many
farmers have a tendency to neglect
this phase of their farming programs.
But over a long period Of years,
benefits will mean a great deal in dol
lars and cents, he pointed out, and in
consideration of the future of North
Carolina agriculture, soil-building and
conserving is of paramount impor-

Primary responsibility for safety on
the streets and highways rests with
those public officials charged with the
construction and maintenance of
roads and streets and control over
their use. We realize, too, that equal
responsibility rests upon affected In
dividuals, civic and business organi-
cations, to give the utmost support to
the efforts of the public officials.
Accordingly the automotive indus
try pledged its support to the ma
tional, state and local officials and
has proceeded to the task of putting
tangible, concrete effort into It's sup
port AS another important phase of
its work the automotive industry ex-
tended grants of money to eleven ma
tional organizations with which to fl
nance expansions of their respective
highway safety programs to make
more effective the tasks the public
officials have set out to perform.
Each Of the national organizations
whose expanded efforts were under
written by the industry, has proved
the effectiveness Of It's policies and
activities over long terms of years.
In this manner our industry has
identified itself with all of the known
experience and available effective
talent that can be brought to bear
upon the subject of making the high

dents and the recreational aspects of

Year since the advent of the motor
car that highway fatalities have not
increased under the pressure Of grow

estimate indicates that this years car

Total highway fatalities, up to the

less than those of the previous year.
The customary Fall rise in the curve,
